The media is so sure that only the worst about Palin could possibly be true that false stories, out right lies, and even comedy bits are constantly presented as actual news. Time Magazine is the latest to fall into that trap by reporting a satirical Internet posting about Sarah Palin as hard news. It all […]
Valentine’s Day is as good a time as any to examine the current state of romance in once great Britain, the canary in the coalmine of moonbattery: In this day and age, when a thrice-married former fireman who has become a woman meets a Jamaican lesbian chef online there can only be one outcome — […]
Did you think the O’Keefe/Giles revelations of criminal degeneracy finally put a stake through the heart of Comrade Obama’s alma mater ACORN? Think again: As the remnants of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now regroup in order to bring chaos to the 2012 election cycle, ACORN’s renamed New York chapter is teeming with […]
CPAC is kind of like Christmas for conservatives without the presents. We all get together with our friends. We eat, drink, and care about our country. Together. This is my third CPAC, and every time I come back more committed to the conservative cause. Every time I come back with more love for my country. […]
The Prelude To CPAC First of all, if you’ve never attended CPAC, let me give you a sense of it: Imagine a fairly young crowd of 11,000 people, mixed in with policy wonks, political celebrities, and campaign operatives, all roaming the halls of a huge hotel. Every 15-to-20 feet, someone is shoving a flyer into […]
Fri: Day 2 Of CPAC Ah, day 2…when the early stages of exhaustion begin to set in. So, what do you do when you’re stressed? Why you squeeze an Obama, Pelosi, or Biden stress ball, of course. I’m declaring those to be the coolest pieces of swag from the conference, even though, for reasons I […]
The Sydney Morning Herald digs in to the numbers SUCCESSIVE federal governments have spent more than $5.5 billion over the past decade on climate change programs that are delivering only small reductions in greenhouse gas emissions at unusually high costs for taxpayers and the economy. An analysis by the Herald of government schemes designed to […]
So many media outlets are portraying Obama’s supposed budget as a big saver, as him reigning in federal spending. The Politico discusses Obama’s “hard choices.” CBS discusses that this $3.73 budget will somehow reduce the deficit by $1.1 trillion over 10 years, and cuts are deep. The NY Times is, of course, thrilled, and doing […]
I’ve got a huge roundup (with video): “Now it turns out the Muslim Brotherhood debate is becoming one of the bigger stories to emerge from CPAC.” But this really just about sums things up, “Video: ACU’s Suhail Khan declares that there is no Muslim Brotherhood in the United States“: More at Memeorandum as well.
Ever wonder how Bob Herbert got hired at the Times? I’ll bet editor Bill Keller is wondering that today after reading the columnist’s latest world-class nutbaggery, which was layered paragraph upon paragraph like some sort of delusion cake. I’ll spare you all of the details: just consider a few “highlights”: • “More and more Americans […]
Careful observers may notice a theme to this week’s This Week in Automotivators. Bear with me. Link: Freedom Eden. Link: Backyard Conservative. Link: Grandpa Steve. Link: Little Miss Attila. I’m not trying to rub it in, there. Second place does suck. Link: TrogloPundit. And finally: Fear not, fellow fans. The off-season can’t last forever. Previously: […]
Ron Paul may have won the CPAC straw poll but he’s lost Young Americans for Freedom, a conservative, college Republican-style organization to which he used to belong. Just as the results of the straw poll were revealed YAF announced they were kicking Paul out of the organization. This is a pretty big deal, too. If […]
Get your ice skates out, folks, Hell has just frozen over, starting with NPR: In Egypt, More Proof That George W. Bush Was Right Two weeks of massive street protests have given Egyptians their voice and today Hosni Mubarak has heard them. If the events that led to Mubarak’s resignation after 30 years as president […]
At Marathon Pundit, “Allen West closes out CPAC, calls for “The dawn of a New America.” And previously, a photo opportunity with Congressman West. A very nice man, and a privilege to meet him.
Joshua Goldberg’s sudden death, at age 43, has really saddened me. I feel as if I’ve lost a friend — not a best friend, because we weren’t that close, but a friend nevertheless. What’s funny, though, is that I never actually met Joshua. I never talked to him on the phone. I never even saw […]
It’s not just that Wisconsin stands atop the football world, or that Wisconsin is quickly ascending to the top of the political world. It’s that Wisconsin’s CEO has what’s commonly known as “a pair:” Walker budget plan would limit state unions to negotiating only on salaries Madison – Gov. Scott Walker wants to help fix […]
I know, I know, you’re shocked by the Forbes report via the BBC A new survey of the “most miserable cities” in the US suggests that five of the 10 worst are in California. The BBC’s Peter Bowes considers whether life in the Golden State has really got that bad. For many people, life should […]
I’m hardly a fan of Ron Paul, but no doubt he’s a top CPAC newsmaker. The Hill has a report, “Ron Paul slams Patriot Act, backers drown out jeers at conference.” And the big theme at USA Today, “Ron Paul: U.S. ‘propped up’ Mubarak in Egypt.” (Via Memeorandum.) In any case, listen to it. The […]
Of course, the narrative is now that it was Obama giving another speech via TOTUS that caused Mubarak to resign, but, Science Blogs thinks differently The Egyptian dictator, Hosni Mubarak, has resigned, finally relenting to weeks of massive protests. Is he the latest casualty of climate change? This is a provacative question, but I believe […]
Been a big day! Here’s the lovely Ann Coulter: And check here for a sharper picture and full report of the day’s events: “Ann Coulter at CPAC.”
Even in Canada, though it often gutters low, the flame of liberty is still alive. A CRTC [Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission] proposal that could make it easier to broadcast false or misleading news has prompted confusion and criticism among opposition MPs and consternation in at least one of the unions that represents Canadian journalists. […]
At least now we know why the Obama Misadministration didn’t see the Egypt situation coming and has no clue how to deal with it. Apparently by appointing people on the basis of leftist ideology rather than meaningful qualifications, Comrade Obama has put himself in the position of relying for information on folks like Director of […]
There have been rumors that Andrew Ian Dodge will challenge Olympia Snowe in the 2012 Republican primary. Well, today at CPAC, he announced his candidacy and he’s doing his first post-announcement interview here at Right Wing News. Enjoy! First question: if a Republican in Maine says, “Andrew, why should I support you instead of Olympia […]
All the TV news sources are reporting that VP Omar Suleiman has stated that Mubarak has stepped down. No print stories yet, have to run to work. If you find any, post them in the comments. Interestingly, if this is the case, it means Mubarak’s handpicked successor, along with the military, will be in charge. […]
I’ll be doing a full blog post on GOProud (the conservative gay organization) when I get back, but I just wanted to let you know what went on yesterday. First of all, Donald Trump smacked down the Ron Paul supporters. You probably saw the clip on the news. Trump was speaking and someone yelled out,”Elect […]
If you didn’t see the Super Bowl, you didn’t see this ad air: Now that’s funny…unless you are an incredibly dense, race baiting Congresswoman: Jackson Lee said it was ridiculous for the soft drink maker to air the advertisement during African-American history month. “In this month of African-American history where we’re trying to celebrate what […]
I’ll have more CPAC pictures posted later, but Fox & Friends just interviewed Donald Trump, and no doubt his CPAC turn yesterday generated some buzz. For example, at ABC News, “Donald Trump: If I Run For President ‘This Country Will Be Respected Again’” (via Memeorandum): During his speech, which was added to the CPAC agenda […]
A hodge-podge of globull warming silliness this Friday morning, starting with Malcolm Bowman, an oceanography professor from Stony Brook University in Long Island, recently stood at the snow-covered edge of the Williamsburg waterfront and pointed toward the Midtown skyline. “Looking at the city, with the setting sun behind the Williamsburg Bridge, it’s a sea of […]
Virginia’s Junior Senator, Jim Webb, is already hanging up his senatorial career. One term was enough for the so-called moderate Virginia Democrat. He’s announced that he will not run for reelection. But the fact that he got elected at all shows the essential hypocrisy at the heart of the Democrat Party. Webb, you see, is […]
The original headline of the NY Times article was “US faces stark choice as Mubarak clings to office,” but, perhaps the Fish Wrap realized that the rest of pretty much know what is going on, and have made our choices, and that so far, Obama has voted “present” President Hosni Mubarak’s refusal to step down […]
