….or alternately, CNN gets pwned. Hat tip to The Jawa Report for the story.

Thanks to the good people at Eyeblast.tv, a project of Media Research Center, few earmarks across America are going to go unnoticed anymore. The group has launched a massive video project called “Porkbusters On Patrol,” which puts video cameras in the hands of citizen journalists nationwide to expose excessive wastes of taxpayer dollars. Just how […]

It’s a shame mainstream journalists are too busy trashing Sarah Palin to look into Barack Obama’s background. Riehl World View offers some fascinating leads they might pursue regarding the trip he made to Pakistan before transferring from Occidental to Columbia: By 1980 at Occidental Obama ran partly with a circle of wealthy, drug using Pakistani […]

Nationally, John McCain has a small lead that’s probably about 2-4 points in real terms. Furthermore, if the election were held today, John McCain would probably win it. Additionally, the enthusiasm, party identification, and money gaps between the parties have closed considerably. Obama is running a horrible campaign, Michigan and Pennsylvania appear to now be […]

I, like many Americans, have been amazed by the reaction of both the right and the left to the naming of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running mate. To label her a “phenomenon” seems to be an understatement. Her choice has shocked the establishment, changed the entire election, created visceral positive or negative reactions, and, […]

Now it’s official: Islamic law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases. The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence. Rulings issued by a network of five sharia […]

One of things I do semi-regularly here at Right Wing News is read the big political tabloid trash stories and analyze them so that you don’t have to do it. Granted, most of these stories are nothing but unprovable rumor and innuendo, but every once in a while, they do turn up a John Edwards […]

My co-blogger, Melissa Clouthier, is a denizen of Houston and unfortunately, that city has been wrecked by Ike. She’s saying that they literally may not have the power on in her area for a month. Therefore, her family is going to be on the road for the next couple of days, moving to greener pastures […]

It’s time for me to rank my favorite blogs for the 3rd quarter of 2008. Do keep in mind that as the quarter has progressed, some blogs have, of course, moved up and others have dropped, based on how often I visit them, how much I like what I see when I get there, how […]

The New York Times’ pet “conservative,” David Brooks, wrote a really odd column — odd for a “conservative” anyway — complaining that the Right doesn’t care about social issues. Here’s the closing part of his column, That language of community, institutions and social fabric has been lost, and now we hear only distant echoes — […]

Our British cousins are living in a country that is rapidly becoming a bad movie: one part Mad Max, one part 1984, and one part Idiocracy. In other words, what was once the greatest nation on earth is in a spiral downward that appears to be growing ever faster. One area in particular where Britain […]

Anyone out there still thinking “four years of the Democrats to teach America a lesson“? I’m sure no one but me missed the dustup over photographer Jill Greenberg’s unprofessional behavior in her purported role as photojournalist. It’s so embarrassing even the center-left Atlantic is embarrassed (via Insty) by her antics. Here’s the thing. Dirty tricks […]

I guess there is something to say about being one of the top 4 wackos on the Internet The Dish is now at Number 34 on Technorati’s list. The National Review’s Corner, in comparison, written by dozens, is now at Number 60. Pajamas Media, including Instapundit and the entire Bush-Palin-Cheney movement is at Number 62. The […]

One doesn’t usually have to look very hard to find counts of distortions, exaggerations, cover-ups, and even outright lies by the mainstream media. That said, I’m actually surprised at the lows they’ve reached in their coverage of Sarah Palin, the newest darling of the Republican Party. On the up side, at least it’s entertaining. This […]

Mr. “Do-as-I-say-but-not-as-I-do” Obama directly questions McCain’s patriotism: “Just ask the machinists in Pennsylvania who build Harley-Davidsons,” Obama said of McCain’s record. “Because John McCain didn’t just oppose the requirement that the government buy American-made motorcycles, he called Buy American provisions ‘disgraceful.’ Just ask the workers across this country who have seen their jobs outsourced. The […]

Since Right Wing News gets considerably more traffic then my site, and quite a few other bloggers stop in here, I thought it might be worthwhile to crosspost this simple little bit about Sitemeter. For those who haven’t seen it, Sitemeter made some big changes to their website. And some changes to the meter you embed […]

Hot Air headlines calls it the continuing “Sullivan-ation” of The Atlantic. Once you see the complete set of photos (the worst of which were posted on the photographer’s website) and the story behind them, I think you’ll agree. I can only imagine what she would have done to images of Gov. Palin, had she been […]

You know, I spend quite a bit of time cruising the port side of the ‘Net, something I learned here at Right Wing News when I first started reading the site. I love reading the plain insanity of the Left, it really is humorous, once one has armoured up so as not to go ballistic reading it. I usually […]

Since the Barry camp is under fire for ignoring outside advice, since Barry is losing to Palin on experience, since panic is setting in for Democrats, since battlegrounds are breaking for McCain, since Barry supporters are reduced to calling Palin a child predator, since the biggest kook fringers want Barry’s message to be purely person, […]

I caught a minute of Sean Hannity as I was driving home the other day. He played and read for his audience numerous quotations from past American presidents (as well as Benjamin Franklin), each of whom acknowledged a beneficent Judeo-Christian God from whom our liberties flow. I’ve assembled my own collection of such quotations, all […]

While we’ve been obsessing over the election and nursing our collective Palin fever, Islamic terrorists have found better things to do with their time than discuss Sarah Palin’s hairdo or who insulted who first. There’s a whole world out there beyond the election, and it would be good to pay attention to what’s going on. […]

That’s what blogger Bob Miller, Ph.D. (a retired U.S. Army major) says in a post that’s sure to provoke controversy and conversation. He’s put together a chart that weighs every President’s experience, from his military service and heroism to his time in public office. If he was a university president or a CEO, that counts […]

I’m trying to figure out why this woman still has a career. Why?? First of all, given Randi Rhodes’ line of work, isn’t criticizing a woman for being too opinionated a bit hypocritical? I surely don’t begrudge anyone that. I’m opinionated and I know it. It’s not a problem unless you start doing the kinds […]

Via blogger friend Buck: Peggy Noonan has some ideas. No more scattered, listless riffs; back to the podium and the prepared–and focused–speech. Campaign as a duo, Obama-Biden, together again. Obama alone looks like he’s part of nothing. You must aim your fire at the top of the ticket, John McCain, and not at this beautiful […]

Here’s the Right Wing News guest blogger line-up this week-end. Saturday ——– Bookworm from Bookworm Room Cassy Fiano Kathy Shaidle Five Feet Of Fury Morgan from House of Eratosthenes Gina Cobb John Stephenson from Stop The ACLU Little Miss Attila Sunday ——- Ron Coleman from Likelihood of Success Sister Toldjah William Teach from Pirate’s Cove […]

Crossposted from Stop the ACLU: Much has been discussed about John McCain not being able to use a computer and in an ad from the Barack Obama campaign (shown above) it says, “Can’t send an email,” referencing McCain. An article in Boston.com from 2000, shows McCain cannot type on a keyboard. It took a blogger […]

Thinking him more electable in liberal New England, the Republican establishment backed the moonbatty RINO Lincoln Chafee in his unsuccessful bid to hold onto his Rhode Island Senate seat instead of Steve Laffey, an actual conservative. Now this act of foolishness has been repaid: Former Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee, who left the GOP after […]

Question : When my wife and I decided to start a family, we had many long talks about how important it was that she, as the mother, be able to stay home and dedicate herself to raising the baby. When we discussed the possibility of me staying home, we kind of just laughed about it. […]

Yesterday the enlightened progressives at Daily Kos commemorated the anniversary of the Muslim atrocities of September 11 with this somber graphic: It was accompanied by the commentary: All this 9/11 worship is ghoulish and downright silly. This shines a little light on the mentality required to support an appeaser like Barack Obama only 7 years […]
