It’s Officially Obama’s Ball Now In 2010

As the saying goes, a stopped clock is right twice a day, and Kathleen Parker appears to be losing her loving feeling for Obama As this new year commences, two facts emerge: George W. Bush is officially retired as the fault-guy for the nation’s ills, and Barack Obama owns the game. Whether he wants to […]

Poll: Do You Let This Guy See His Kid?

My friend Karol linked to this New York Times article by Victoria Rosner on Twitter and it got me thinking. Here’s a snippet but I recommend you read the whole thing and then comment back: A year earlier, Judah’s father had gone to the doctor for what he thought was sciatica but turned out to […]

TSA withdraws blogger subpoenas, says you’re welcome for all the traffic.

In the interest of fairness, I’m sure, the TSA has withdrawn subpoenas they served to two bloggers who posted about the TSA’s new, post-Christmas Day Underwear Bomber security protocols. Story background here. The new developments: Just days after serving subpoenas to two travel bloggers, the Transportation Security Administration withdrew the subpoenas late Thursday, saying its […]

“World’s end” predictions: totally missing the point.

We’re all familiar with that Mayan legend that says the world will end in 2012, right? That’s why we’re all practicing driving our cars out of moving airplanes. Well: Forget 2012. As far as many Mexicans are concerned, the ancient Mayas were being generous: the sky’s actually going to fall next year. Why? Because it’s […]

AGW Today: Once In A Generation Cold Snap Plus Others

So, as I sit here writing this, ye olde thermometer says 23, and ye olde 15 day forecast shows well below average temps ever day till the 13th (though, in all honesty, I know that can change from day to day.) And the news reports Forecasters say the coldest stretch of weather in years if […]

Northwest Terror Attempt Restores Security to Center of American Politics

At Big Government, Dana Loesch reports on “The Most Underreported Stories of 2009.” It’s a phenomenal essay, and breathtaking in peeling back the journalistic malpractice in the country today. But while Dana discusses Fort Hood and the home-grown Islamist threat, it’s clear that the administration’s gotten a free ride on its disastrous foreign policy altogether. […]

Dems Join Call To Oust Napolitano

She’s the one who’s ultimately going to fall on her sword, I believe. Her Sunday appearances were simply too poor a reflection on Obama. And Obama’s rhetoric has been too harsh for everyone to survive. It isn’t as if she has that much pertinent experience, she was a manager and a political hack, at best. […]

AGW Today: No Rise In Atmospheric CO2 In 160 Years

Oh, my, this is going to leave a mark Most of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity does not remain in the atmosphere, but is instead absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. In fact, only about 45 percent of emitted carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere. What? You mean Mother Nature can do […]

13 State Attorneys Threaten Lawsuit Over ObamaCare

The question is, is this something they will actually do, and, why are they doing it now? Republican attorneys general in 13 states say congressional leaders must remove Nebraska’s political deal from the federal health care overhaul bill or face legal action, according to a letter provided to The Associated Press Wednesday. “We believe this […]

The Top 20 Political Quotes Of The Decade

20) There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know. — Donald Rumsfeld 19) George Bush doesn’t care about black […]

Suggest The Most Annoying Liberals Of 2009

On Monday, I’ll be releasing the 8th annual “20 Most Annoying Liberals of 2008” (You can see the 2007 list here). What I’m hoping you can do is suggest some liberals who deserve to make the list along with what they’ve done in 2009 to merit making it. Suggest away!

The Left’s Permanent War on the War on Terrorism

That’s not my title, actually, it’s Ace’s: “The Left’s Permanent War on the War on Terrorism.” I can claim a little originality here, since my Spencer Ackerman post from the other day is pretty much the font for Ace’s philosophizing, and William Jacobsen’s work as well. (See, “Leftists Spin Attempted Northwest Airlines Attack as Evidence […]

RWN’s Top Referrers For 2009

Here are RWN’s top referrers for 2009 (No search engines, social networks, traffic trade services included). Feel free to go check a few of these blogs out. After all, it’s only fair to send them a little traffic back for helping out RWN so much. Also, as a point of comparison — and because I’m […]

CNN’s Sanchez Ambushes Ensign: Forget Terror, Let’s Talk Sex

How special. Video below via Teagan Goddard. The network that unceasingly told us sex was a personal issue during the Clinton years has suddenly discovered the error of: its ways after inviting John Ensign on to talk about the recent attempted terror attack. Ensign’s issues aside, are we supposed to believe this is simply good journalism […]

2009, Our Turn to Be Offended

Here’s a thought: now that it’s officially post-December 25, it’s amazing how people who have been saying “happy holidays” for the past month, swearing that there are multiple “holidays” this season, magically remember the distinct name of the next upcoming “holiday” and revert back to saying “Happy New Year”. I suppose that out of all […]

The Crotch Bomber Smoking Gun: People And Policy Let This Guy Through AND There Was A Second Bomber On Board Flight 253?

This story just gets worse and more distressing. First, the government failed miserably as A.J. Strata demonstrates in a must-read piece. Here’s his conclusion: The NCTC has computer connections to State, CIA, FBI etc. They see their reports almost as they are being entered. Their databases are being updated constantly. The other detail is devastating. […]

Leftists Cheer for Limbaugh’s Death

Yeah, yeah. I know. Both sides do it, right? No matter how many times radicals say it, there remains an unmatched demonological death-wish culture on the left. DaTechGuy predicted it yesterday, with reference to Rush Limbaugh. See, “Let’s see how nice liberals can be…“: …now that Rush apparently is in the hospital with chest pains… […]

SCOTUS Deals Socialism And Therefore, Obama, A Blow

At least I think that’s what happened. Not sure. Here’s the good news, if a little late for the cannibalized companies: In a summary decision so brief as to slip under the radar of many, the U.S. Supreme Court settled the law about this (at the time) white-hot legal issue with a silent bolt of […]

Democrat Spinners: Obama More Aggressive Than Bush Against Al Qaeda

New Year’s Eve is a great time to lighten up with a big old belly laugh. Here goes: Democratic strategists Wednesday asserted President Barack Obama “has been far more aggressive in fighting al Qaeda” than the previous administration. Bwahahaha! At least they have a sense of humor! In an e-mail this afternoon to supporters — […]
