Reader Input #1: An Adoption Agency: I know a couple that is having trouble finding an adoption agency that can help them get a baby. They are open to getting a baby overseas if they’re unable to get a baby that is already in the states. Has anyone had experience with an adoption agency that […]

College Republicans Hassled For Supporting Israel At St. Cloud State University: Tonight, I received an email from a reader asking for help getting out the word about an incident that occurred at St. Cloud State University. Here’s part of a press release sent out by the college Republicans at SCSU describing what happened… “On December […]

Arafat Sues Bin Laden for Trademark Infringement: Yassir Arafat this week told Usama Bin Laden to stop using the Palestinian cause as a reason for his terror attacks against the West. The Palestinian leader said Mr. Bin Laden tried to “piggy-back” upon the prestige and credibility of the Palestinian brand of terror. Mr. Arafat’s attorney […]

No Gore In 2004: Last week, I told everyone not to buy the hype because Al Gore was going to be running in 2004. Well, I was utterly, completely, wrong…. “I’ve decided that I will not be a candidate for president in 2004,” Gore told Lesley Stahl. “I personally have the energy and drive and […]

Profoundly Wrong: Ready for a little guessing game? Try to figure out who made the following ludicrous statements in an article that came out today before I reveal it to you at the end. Ready? Here we go… “Appeasement” has come to mean craven surrender to evil. But the policy of Neville Chamberlain and Lord […]

Union Petition: “Al Gore Please Run”: At least one American union is already reacting to the recent news that Al Gore may not run for President in 2004. The Union of Comedians, Humorists, Satirists, Bloggers and Guys Who Crack Political Jokes at the Office (UCHSBGWCPJO) has begun circulating a petition pleading with the former vice […]

Quotes From Democrats And Leftists On Race & Anti-Semitism: Conservatives often believe that Democrats in general and liberals in particular get a free pass when it comes to race related remarks. Here are a few quotes that RWN has gathered up. Take a look at them and make up your own mind about the double […]

Need Help With Quotations From The Left On Race: Many people have pointed out — correctly I might add — that there is a double standard when it comes to race. Conservatives get pounded on the issue while left-wingers largely get a pass. Well, I’ve decided to do a series of quotes called, “The Left […]

Barney-Cam!: The White House has released the first “Barney-Cam” home video. The video is about four minutes long and it follows the President’s dog around the White House as he attacks a Christmas ornament, runs all over the place, hams it up for a crowd, and chomps on a bone. I thought it was entertaining […]

Warblogger — The Game: Most of you have played Monopoly, Tekken, Madden 2002 and other “lesser games”. But now, here on RWN, we’re ready to introduce a new form of entertainment that’ll soon sweep the internet world, “Warblogger — The Game!” Ok, Ok, I might have oversold you a bit in the introduction. Actually, I […]

Gore in 2004? Don’t Buy The Hype About Him Not Running: In today’s New York Times we’re supposedly getting quite the scoop. According to the NYT’s source, Al Gore won’t be running for President in 2004… “…(I)n interviews, a half-dozen friends, advisers and other close associates of Mr. Gore, all of whom spoke on condition […]

The American Way Of Rebuilding: They’re still trying to figure out what to build at the WTC site but I love this idea… “Several new plans for Ground Zero call for erecting what would be the tallest building in the world on the disaster site – giving terror-battered lower Manhattan a new, distinctive skyline, sources […]

The New Last Refuge of Scoundrels by Alan Caruba: “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel,” said Samuel Johnson on April 7, 1775. If the great man of British letters were alive today, he might amend that to say that, in America, “environmentalism is the new last refuge of scoundrels.” I surely would. I […]

The Stars Explain What You Sheep Should Think: I’m jazzed because I finally got my hands on the statement from Artists United to Win Without War. They are a bunch of empty headed stars like Matt Damon, Mike Farrell, Alec Baldwin, Harry Belafonte, Tim Robbins, Barbra Streisand, Ethan Hawke, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Ed […]

I Thought The Right-Wing Was Supposed To Be ‘Extreme?: Left-wingers love to complain about right-wing rhetoric, call members of the GOP extreme, and claim that we inspire violence against the left. Yet, it’s amazing how much bizarre paranoia & extremism you can actually find on the left these days. Take this page called “Not In […]

Salon’s Hypocrisy: The dot.com bubble has long since burst but Salon is still holding on by their fingertips on their left hand. Undoubtedly, Salon will eventually drop into the bottomless $76.6 million money pit they’ve created for themselves — but it won’t be soon enough for me. Salon has posted some pretty sick stuff before, […]

The GOP Vs. Trent Lott: Some of the comments from Conservatives and members of the GOP about Lott’s comments… Rush Limbaugh had this to say about Lott’s comments, “What Lott said is utterly indefensible and stupid. I don’t even want to attempt to explain or defend it. Yes, there’s a double standard on this stuff, […]

The US Gravy Train: Great cartoon from CNSNEWS… Thanks to American Realpolitik for pointing this cartoon out.

The Best Columnists In The Business: My favorite editorial columnists on the net in order… 10) Michelle Malkin: Michelle somehow manages to ferret out gripping stories no one else is talking about for her columns. 9) Andrew Sullivan: I enjoy Sully’s editorials quite a bit. Now if he’d just set up a separate permalink on […]

Airport Security? Our Government Is On The Case: After 9/11, airport security was a top priority of our government. Surely by now all the kinks have been knocked out right? Absolutely! Now our airport security is just as efficient and well run as other government agencies — like the INS and the post office. Want […]

Could Jimmy Carter Be More Annoying?: When you consider that Jimmy Carter destroyed the US economy, crippled the military, had a disastrous foreign policy, and did such a generally lousy job that some people thought the US was going to lose its status as a super power, you’d think he’d be sparing in his advice […]

Rough Week-End For The GOP: There was a lot of bad news for the GOP this week-end including… The firing of Treasury Secretary Paul H. O’Neill, and chief economic adviser Lawrence B. Lindsey: Both O’Neill and Lindsey are smart, competent guys. But, Lindsey was reportedly combative and O’Neil seemed to blurt out some dumb comment […]

Wish List: Down the road, I plan to have a couple of different type of ads and a tip jar on RWN. However, I currently make no money off of RWN — which is fine with me. On the other hand, I have had several people ask if there is a way to contribute money […]

There is a lot that can be learned from Winston Churchill — so read and enjoy these quotes […]

Pearl Harbor Day: Again, I don’t normally post on the week-end, but Pearl Harbor Day should be remembered. In my mind, Pearl Harbor Day and 9/11 are forever linked. The Pearl Harbor attack began a war against the Axis Powers and 9/11 began a global war against terrorism. Winning the war today, just like winning […]

Iraq Has Breached The UN Resolution Again: I normally don’t post the week-end but this was too good to pass up. “Iraqi officials submitted the completed declaration on its weapons programs to U.N. arms inspectors in Baghdad Saturday, emphasizing once again that the country has no weapons of mass destruction.” Of course, that means the […]
