What Difference Does It Make? All the terrorist groups in the ‘disputed territories’ are getting together to try to come to some consensus about “why they are fighting, what they need to end the conflict and whether suicide bombings are a legitimate weapon.” Theoretically, this could be a good thing because if all of the […]

That’s Ironic: Glenn Reynolds mentioned my interview with “Jon David” in his Tech Central column today. It is quite an honor to be cited by the man who’s probably got his picture beside of the word “blogger” in the dictionary (well, he would if that word were in the dictionary). Ironically, he also talks about […]

Hackers Vs. Terrorists: I don’t know how long this will be up, so check out Britain’s “Islamic News” page while you can. They have been 0wn3d by a hacker (possibly after the site’s owner was killed in India) who replaced their old page with an anti-terrorist screed which I’m about to quote… “Jehad is Crap! […]

The Cloud ‘O’ Death: Sometimes you run across a story that makes you look at an issue in an entirely different way. For some of you, this may be one of those types of stories… “A two-mile-thick cloud of pollution shrouding southern Asia is threatening the lives of millions of people in the region and […]

Technology Defeats The Law On The Net: Congress is not going to defeat peer to peer file swapping (Mp3s, files, and movies) by coming up with new laws. The net is too big, too international, and full of too many people who hate having any sort of authority imposed on them for it to ever […]

Why Is Iraq Our Top Priority: Some people are puzzled about why the Bush team is focused like a laser beam on Iraq. Does GWB want to finish the job his dad started back in the Gulf War? Is it because of oil? Is it just some sort of American vengeance thing against Saddam? Well […]

Terrorist Billionaire Yasser Arafat?: We already knew that Yasser Arafat was a terrorist, but today we also learned that he was a billionaire. Who knew that ruling an impoverished & hopeless group of people that you’ve led to ruin could be so profitable?

The Top 10 Changes That Could Be Made To Operation TIPS: Hell, I actually LIKE Operation TIPS. Most of the complaints about it are way overblown. It’s really nothing but a giant ‘Neighborhood Watch’ program. Still, funny is funny and this is funny =)

The Evil Fog ‘O’Death: I find this story to be interesting for a couple reasons… “A two-mile-thick cloud of pollution shrouding southern Asia is threatening the lives of millions of people in the region and could have an impact much further afield, according to a U.N.-sponsored study. It said the cloud, a toxic cocktail of […]

Why Blacks Should Vote Republican: I’ll grant you that the Republican party isn’t the right choice for every black American. If you believe in group identity politics, view everything through a racial prism, are ultra-sensitive to perceived racial slights, are for Affirmative Action, racial set-asides for minority businesses, & reparations then you are probably better […]

“Mideast Experts Say That Arafat, 72, Really Is A Little Light In His Combat Boots”: Apparently the Weekly World News has gotten tired of writing about the delightful antics of “Bat Boy” and has decided to have some fun at the expense of terrorist thug Yasser Arafat. The WWN says Arafat is gay and they’re […]

The Top 10 Questions The Saudis Are Asking Their Al-Queda Captives: Iran just shipped 16 members of al-Queda off to Saudi Arabia for questioning. Laurence Simon was wondering what kind of questions the Saudis were asking their al-Queda captives? Probably something along the lines of… “Will you sign an autograph for my kid?”

Told Ya So: On Thursday I bemoaned the fact that the press was destroying Steven J. Hatfill’s life by painting him as the guy who probably was sending anthrax through the mail. Well Hatfill has now spoken out about this issue and his comments echoed my own… “Reporters bang on Steven J. Hatfill’s door at […]

Ego-Tripping: You can never hear too many compliments like this one from Curmudgeonly & Skeptical … “I think John Hawkins is Blogdom’s best. His Welfare For Seniors piece is illustrative of his ability to – as does Rush Limbaugh – validate what many people already think, and do so with style and, quite often, humor.” […]

The Guide To Promoting Your Web Page: If you’re a webmaster who just can’t seem to get anyone to look at your page, this is an article you have to read.

Welfare For Seniors: It’s just disheartening to see our senior citizens standing around with their hands out demanding what is for all intents and purposes welfare from their fellow citizens for no other reason than ‘we want it and we’re old!’ These poll numbers you are about to see are a disgrace… “The Senate’s failure […]

Cheney and the CEOs: Charles Krauthammer absolutely destroys all the Democrat’s charges against Dick Cheney over Halliburton. This whole “scandal” is almost as much of a complete nothingburger as the Bush/Enron scandal (if that was possible.) Read this one and remember it well because it’ll come in handy when you hear the Democrats lying about […]

Feel The Hate: Obviously I have some VERY STRONG opinions and there are some people I vehemently disagree with politically. For example, Noam Chomsky, Bill Clinton, Robert Fisk, Jimmy Carter, Jesse Jackson, etc, etc. Now I have no problem with taking some vicious shots at them in print and in certain situations I wouldn’t even […]

The Most Loved And Hated Nation On Earth: It’s nice to see a story like this one once in a while to go along with the seemingly endless carping about America.

My World View Has Changed: Natural Born Killer Woody Harrelson’s latest comments in the Daily Mirror have completely changed the way I look at the world. I just never realized how BRAVE being against the war was…. “But now Woody Harrelson has taken another brave step – he’s passionately defended George Michael over his anti-Bush […]

This Is A Surprising Statistic: According to this Fox News article, percentage wise, more women turn out to be deadbeat moms than men turn out to be deadbeat dads… “The percentage of “deadbeat” moms is actually higher than that of dads who won’t pay, even though mothers are more consistently awarded custody of children by […]

Richard Jewel Redux?: The way the media casually destroys people’s lives is sickening at times. Whether we’re talking about Linda Tripp, Paula Jones, William Kennedy Smith, Katherine Harris, Gary Condit, etc, the media can loot, burn, and pillage someone’s reputation and character like Rome destroyed Carthage. Now you may say some of these people brought […]

Where’s The Press Coverage?: The story Bob Novak just broke would be on the front page on every newspaper in America in today in three inch high letters…if a Republican were involved instead of a Democrat… “The Commerce Department’s painful report last week that the national economy is worse than anticipated obscured the document’s startling […]

If R. Kelly Is Your Hero You’re In Deep Trouble: In the last story I blogged, Bobby Bowden was catching heat for trying to motivate his players by using a phrase made immortal by American hero Todd Beamer. But some people apparently aren’t shooting that high… “Before R&B superstar R. Kelly arrived at Cook County […]

You Tell ‘Em Bobby: FSU coach Bobby Bowden has caught a lot of flack for using the motto ‘Let’s Roll’ for his team’s motto in 2002. Bowden slammed critics of his use of the phrase… They have to be unpatriotic to say what they are saying in my opinion. Anything that you do, someone is […]

Tombstone & International Law: In the movie Tombstone, the Earp family & Doc Holliday had just finished a bloody gunfight with a group of five ‘Cowboys’ (a gang in the movie) at the OK Corral. They killed four of the five ‘Cowboys’ and two of the Earps were wounded. As they’re limping back to have […]

Welcome To Harold Wright’s Nightmare: Normally when I do an edition of A.C.P.O.T.I, I’m smacking around racists, left-wing whackos, conspiracy theorists, Islamo-fascists, etc. But I ran across a page that was so sick and insane that it existence deserved to be revealed to the masses. So get ready for a glimpse into the mind of […]

Nuclear Annihilation Can’t Be Confined to the Outer Boroughs: Here’s a great excerpt from the latest Ann Coulter column about the New York Times campaign against continuing the ‘War on Terrorism’ in Iraq… “In a manly editorial that ought to have been titled, “SURRENDER NOW, GREAT SATAN!” the Times proposed patient suasion with the harmless […]

The ‘Axis of Feeble’: Cold Fury busts out what may become a regularly used phrase on RWN. The ‘Axis of Feeble’… “Poor, poor Khofi Annan. He and the rest of the Axis Of Feeble (the EU, UN, and appeasement-loving lefties everywhere) remind me of nothing so much as a jilted suitor, pathetically driving past the […]

Stupid Lawyer Tricks: If you thought the intellectual crotch rot lawyers are foisting on our society couldn’t get any lamer than the reparations lawsuits and the suit against fast food restaurants for making people fat, think again… “Major corporations fear they are facing a wave of lawsuits seeking to hold them accountable for political oppression […]
