I’m sure Gov. Perry will get some heat from this piece in The Washington Times by Kerry Picket: In the midst of a number of conservatives believing Governor Rick Perry, Texas Republican, is the GOP’s answer to taking on President Barack Obama, squishy aspects of Mr. Perry’s background are being overlooked. As a border state […]

We, as Americans, have to come to accept new Federal regulations as something we just have to live with. I think that is changing now. Every time I ask someone if they realized that we would no longer be able to buy our regular cheap light bulbs after December, they would be astonished and upset. […]

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Alan Reynolds says higher tax rates don’t equal higher tax revenues: When the highest tax rate ranged from 91% to 92% (1951-63), even the lowest rate was quite high–20% or 22%. As the nearby chart shows, however, those super-high tax rates at all income levels brought in revenue of […]

I was cleaning up all the spam comments, and, seriously, one of them was for lion p0rn. There were quite a few stupid ones (like being stuck inside due to all the snow in Alabama), but, that was a new one.

From Psychology Today: “If a woman speaks to you in the extraordinarily rare whistle register (as per Minnie Riperton’s: Loving You, or as most recently associated with Mariah Carey), she is utterly in love with you!” Link via Gawker.

Cool little piece. 50th is North Dakota, where $1.3 million buys a 4 BR, 4 bath, 9400 sq. ft. ranch on 15 acres of land. #1 is California, where $150 million buys you a: big house–the Aaron and Candy Spelling house–on 4.7 acres of “rare, flat land in Holmby Hills”. UPDATE: the $150 million home has […]

With: video, natch. Also see “No, YOU’RE Ugly: The Best Moments In Trash Talking“.: Some excellent examples here; I’m partial to “The mailman doesn’t deliver on Sundays.” (Cross-posted from Newmark’s Door.)  

We had quite an interesting day yesterday. For a very long time now, everyone in my family has been putting all of our money into a certain bank. We just got word one of the officials at that bank resigned. A bank executive named “Weiner” who had lately become embroiled in a “sexting” scandal. The […]

Yes, RWN was down most of the day yesterday. After that, it came back with a basic word press theme instead of the regular theme. It has been a 5 star mess that I’ve been trying to handle from Minneapolis and it hasn’t been easy. Hopefully today, everything should go back to normal. My apologies […]

The one thing I could never figure out is why so many liberals is how they are giving Obama a pass on everything that they hated and howled about with George Bush. Ryan Jones at Hip Hop Republican runs down the hypocrisy. The rapper Lupe Fiasco, recently set the normally Pro-Obama hip hop world on […]

This is a story you will be surprised you haven’t heard about, but you will hear much more soon. In a nutshell, from Yid With a Lid: … the US government decided–in order to fight the Mexican Drug Cartels, we should arm them and let them keep their weapons once they were used in committing […]

From The Texas Tribune: Gov.: Rick Perry, in New York for a speech that’s fueling speculation about a possible run for the White House, said Tuesday that voters seem hungry for more candidates to pick from in the presidential contest. Let’s face it, Perry would heat up the grill of this primary. Most conservatives I know […]

Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Ann Coulter Perfectly Explains Jon Stewart’s Audience

Yesterday, I noted this story: A Chinese ratings house has accused the United States of defaulting on its massive debt, state media said Friday, a day after Beijing urged Washington to put its fiscal house in order. My entirely rational and measured reaction: …take your stupid undervalued money and put it someplace else, you don’t […]

My name is Morgan K. Freeberg and I’m a blogger. Hi, Morgan! Also — as of today — I am going back to being a Sarah Palin fan. Today concludes an experiment I have been doing. More on that below. I’m the founder, CEO, chief fry cook & bottle-washer at House of Eratosthenes, colloquially known […]

Sweet and sad.  

…it’s just that I think they should take their yuan and shove ‘em. A Chinese ratings house has accused the United States of defaulting on its massive debt, state media said Friday, a day after Beijing urged Washington to put its fiscal house in order. “In our opinion, the United States has already been defaulting,” […]

Now that it’s the rumor-du-jour (unless it’s bad form to use a Frenchism while talking about a Texan) that Texas Governor Rick Perry might actually become a presidential candidate… Perry has admitted publicly that he is actively considering a White House run. Adding more fuel to the fire, a source close to Perry’s political team […]

Gets no argument from me. The 0.71 ERA in 139.2 IP in the postseason ought to be, alone, enough.  

In roughly two weeks, I’m going to be adding a crew of moderators at RWN. If you’d like to be one of them, say so in the comment section. PS: I’m going to look back at your previous comments to see how well you play with others. If the answer is “not very,” you’re not […]

Michael Walsh of NRO nails it here. The Face Of The Modern Left: In his combination of unctuousness, mendacity, mock-reasonableness, petulance, bullying, hypocrisy, overweening arrogance, brazen aggression, self-pity, victimhood, and bogus moral preening, it’s hard to beat Congressman Anthony Weiner. ………………………….. I mean, how hard was it to see through Tony Weiner? Or an even […]
