With a history filled with cursing, (“F*ck you” to John Cornyn, “A$$hole to Pete Domenici, “F*cking jerk to Charles Grassley, screaming and throwing temper tantrums at fellow Republicans over the years, John McCain seems to save his admiration and glowing praise for Nancy Pelosi and Al Gore. On Nancy Pelosi, McCain was positively gushing with […]

On Saturday, August 2nd, more fools attempted to get their pro-active pre-surrender message out. Their “emergency call to to action,” if you will. They did it in many cities around the country, including Raleigh A group protesting against a possible war with Iran demonstrated in Raleigh Saturday. The North Carolina Coalition to Stop War on […]

Richard Reeves writes today that Barack Obama is a thinker, while John McCain is a “feeler.” Indeed, Reeves writes, Obama may be “too thoughtful.” Oh please. My first reaction to the premise itself is that Reeves has it backwards. Obama is, like most dyed-in-the-wool Democrats, 65% feelings and 5% common sense on matters of public […]

A few years back, Howard Rotberg was launching his new novel, The Second Catastrophe at a local bookstore. Some Muslim hecklers brought the event to a premature halt. Rotberg says a bookstore employee wearing a hijab did nothing to stop their outbursts. Then the bookstore chain issued a press release to the Toronto Star and […]

Well of course they have. And look who is shifting with them: “My interest is in making sure we’ve got the kind of comprehensive energy policy that can bring down gas prices,” Obama said in an interview with The Palm Beach Post. “If, in order to get that passed, we have to compromise in terms […]

“I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.” — Harry Truman The most incompetent Speaker of the House in American history, Nancy Pelosi, packed up her 22% approval rating and went on vacation with the rest of the Democratic Party in tow. Meanwhile, the plucky Republicans stayed on […]

This may be the single, most snarky video in the history of presidential politics and I love it, McCain will undoubtedly receive a lot of criticism for this video, much of which will come from the Right. It’s not presidential, it has too much attitude, yada, yada, yada. Let me tell you why this video […]

This should clear up any lingering doubts about whether Obama actually shares the Marxist views of the deranged radicals he’s spent his whole life surrounded by: Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday called for a $1,000 “emergency” rebate to consumers to offset soaring energy costs amid fresh signs of a struggling economy with the […]

The two primary pillars of freedom in America are the First and Second Amendments. The Orwellian “Fairness Doctrine” will take out the former; the amazing Keith Olbermann has already dispensed with the latter. He’s revealed that the right to bear arms “obviously” only applies to muskets: Despite years of fog created by the NRA and […]

On the day combat tours in Iraq were cut from 15 to 12 months we hear this: The leader of the Sunni insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq and several of his top lieutenants have recently left Iraq for Afghanistan, according to group leaders and Iraqi intelligence officials, a possible further sign of what Iraqi and […]

One of the canards that the open borders and amnesty crowd has pushed the hardest is that the only way to get rid of the illegal immigrants in the US is to hunt all 12 million of them down individually and deport them. Since this is impossible, they argue that we might as well not […]

Yesterday, the fine folks over at Americans for Prosperity alerted me to the fact that the election issue of all election issues has been dumped into the GOP’s lap. You see, on October 1st, 2008, “the existing bans on Outer Continental Shelf drilling and oil shale leasing expire — unless Congress specifically votes to extend […]

Yesterday, I put up what I considered to be the 10 best looking women from the yearly Hill’s 50 Most Beautiful 2008 list and let RWN’s readers vote on their faves. Here are the big winners. Honorable Mention: Rana Abtar — 11% of the vote 3rd Place: Erica Price — 12% of the vote 2nd […]

This is the now infamous “Celebrity” ad… …and this is Lindsey Graham’s explanation of the ad. Incidentally, this may be the only semi-brilliant thing I’ve ever heard Lindsey Graham say, “The whole (Celebrity) ad is about the idea of fame without portfolio. Paris Hilton is famous for being famous. She draws a crowd for no […]

In an election cycle where Republicans are reviled and the GOP candidate, John McCain, seems to inspire less excitement than a Droopy marathon on the Cartoon Network, it’s hard for some people to understand how the race is still close. After all, Barack Obama is drawing record crowds and generating the sort of wild-eyed loyalty […]

Sarah Steelman took the high road last night on “The Glenn Beck Show” when describing how she stopped payment on a check meant to settle a sexual harassment case; she did not mention Gov. Blunt’s name in telling this story. Her account starts about 0:45 seconds into the clip: I recognize that this is a […]

There is more than one reason to ban the English flag. Not only is it “offensive and racist,” but there are safety considerations: A retired teacher says she was banned from waving her Cross of St George flag during a Proms performance on health and safety grounds. A steward told Rosalind Hilton to put the […]

Dems have the goods on gutsy anti-pork Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK). He’s committed the ultimate crime (according to moonbats) — bringing babies into the world: Coburn has come under new pressure from the Ethics panel for delivering babies at the Muskogee Regional Medical Center, which changed from a public to a private institution in April […]

Unsurprisingly, although Barack Obama is supposed to be a man who can promote racial reconciliation, his supporters are trying to use his race to insulate him from valid criticism again. Here is a typically silly post from Bill Press at the HuffPo about John McCain’s excellent new ad, which happily is getting lots of free […]

A little jaunt down memory lane is in order to provide some context to the continued promise of “alternative energy” as the panacea to all of our energy problems. The following quotes are from an energy speech which was never delivered by Jimmy Carter, but reflects the reality and promises of the time. Compare it […]

I created my first Slatecard today. Take a look and please support these folks in whatever way you can. The widget will remain in the sidebar on my blog through the election. Is there someone I’m missing? Email me or post a comment if you want to make the case for me adding another candidate […]

Here’s an email I received this morning, From: dave OHannaghan subject: Thanks Hawkins you sad American Dum F@ck. Please don’t ever stop writing your sub retarded articles! They are f@cking hilarious! Time, I think, to place one of those guns you seem to love against your temple and rid us of your drooling ignorance you […]

The yearly Hill’s 50 Most Beautiful 2008 list is now out and as per usual, I think the rankings are a little off. So, in order to determine who the most beautiful woman on the Hill really is (Who cares about the guys, right?), I have decided to put together a poll for RWN’s readers. […]

“If we pulled completely out of Iraq, say in early 2008, you’d start seeing a slow, but steadily rising trickle of liberal bloggers and activists calling for us to leave Afghanistan, too. Then, after the 2008 election, you’d start seeing small, but significant numbers of Democratic politicians demanding that we end the “occupation” of Afghanistan. […]

“For those few Americans without an Internet connection and to whom I have not faxed the National Enquirer stories: Evidence is accumulating that John Edwards is right — there really are “two Americas.” There’s one where men cheat on their cancer-stricken wives and one where men do not cheat on their cancer-stricken wives.” — Ann […]
