A different section of the New York Times for Christmas presents for black people? Do the black people read that in the “special” section of the bus, too? From Mary Katherine Hamm: The gospel cruise is perhaps my favorite offering. Is Michael Scott now editing the New York Times? Actually, some of the gifts are […]
House Minority Leader John Boehner has a very small surprise for us: despite lopsided votes in favor of cutting off public funding to Comrade Obama’s outrageously corrupt enablers at ACORN in the aftermath of the O’Keefe/Giles videos, the Big Government fire hose will continue to blast a torrent of our money at these vermin. On […]
The beauty of the global warming hoax is that it allows liberals to wallow in their trademark neurotic guilt, baseless sanctimony, and hostility to civilization while imposing all elements of their agenda — including deliberately excessive taxation, suppression of the private sector, totalitarian power for Big Government, degradation of our standard of living, elevation of […]
Say, how’s that carbon trading market working? The European Union (EU) Emission Trading System (ETS) has been the victim of fraudulent traders in the past 18 months. This resulted in losses of approximately 5 billion euros for several national tax revenues. It is estimated that in some countries, up to 90% of the whole market […]

Last night I was invited to attend a Christmas get together sponsored by the Illinois Policy Institute. This year’s theme was feeding the hungry in Africa and bringing economic freedom to developing nations. We heard some interesting presentations from Paul Wormley of the One Acre Fund as well as Tim Probasco of Opportunity International, both […]
Headline I wrote yesterday, but didn’t have time to finish the post yesterday. Seems I was prescient: The Norwegians aren’t happy. The King isn’t happy. Any American who actually believes in achievement as a measure of success isn’t happy. The peacenik left isn’t happy. Is anyone happy?
As I write this, the award ceremony is in full swing, and Barry is sitting in the audience with a monstrously smug look upon his face, reminding me more of one of the thug type football players just drafted with his chin up in the air. Football watchers know what I mean. Meanwhile, it doesn’t […]
What in the world are the Senate Democrats thinking? Isn’t this supposed to be about “health care reform”? Apparently their idea of reform is to take a system that has trillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities and expand it without ever addressing the underlying reason for the huge future debt? Brilliant. Just brilliant. But apparently […]
One of the things I cannot stand about the left is how they answer an argument that was never made. Case in point. Sarah Palin has a thoughtful informed piece at the WaPo today about climategate, her own personal experience with climate change, and what we need to do to move forward. “But while we […]
Education good enough for thee, but not for me: U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan says no more low-income, mostly minority children will get taxpayer-funded scholarships to attend private or parochial schools in the District of Columbia. Duncan told CNSNews.com that school vouchers are “not the solution” to fixing D.C.’s failing public schools. Duncan made the […]
You thought you were done with that when you graduated, right? Well, this is just one of the many boondoggles that our stimulus dollars went to. I’m thinking that maybe somewhere along the line someone got confused on what: the word “stimulus” actually means. Perhaps they took it to mean the human body and not the […]
If an American citizen wants the comfort of guaranteed care, he will have to pay a steep price. Freedom and slavery is a continuum–with indentured servitude, heavy taxation and other crimps in economic style falling in between the absolute ideals. One could argue that the health care legislation being proposed by Harry Reid et al. […]
It is beginning to look like TheOne has just told the lapdog U.S. Old Media that he didn’t get them a Christmas present this year. Politico is reporting that the Obama Administration didn’t invite the average number of newsies to the White House Christmas Party and on top of that, even the ones that did […]
The Weekly Standard has an excellent new article in its latest issue that reports on the discouraging story of the Washington D.C. teachers union that is rushing headlong toward destroying the successful and popular federally-funded D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP). The program has helped many disadvantaged D.C. are kids get a better and safer education […]
At last, technology has delivered a means for progressives to assuage their guilt as they shop for arugula at grocery stores lit and refrigerated at the expense of the put-upon polar bears: The e~cart promises quite an electrifying experience! It’s a shopping trolley re-designed to be fitted with wheels that harness the kinetic energy, generated […]
Time for an update of The List — the media has again resorted to shrieking that the nonexistent global warming crisis has turned cuddly polar bears into bloodthirsty cannibals: A group of tourists were left horrified when they came across the grisly sight of a polar bear eating a cub in northern Canada. The large […]
I wonder how he will blame this on Bush? He spent more time yesterday blaming Bush, excuse me, the previous administration, during his jobs speech (which Rush Limbaugh tore apart, check out this post by Nice Deb), and is now saying he was against the TARP, despite voting for it. And people are not enthused […]
The drum beat against toilet paper is continuing, this time by those oh so responsible and respectable folks at Greenpeace, who are know for their rational actions The issue over tissue in the bathroom – the really super-soft stuff – is more like the fight about the big SUVs loved by many Americans. Anti-green, according […]
Yesterday, I polled RWN’s readers on the following question: If the 2012 Republican primary were today, which of these candidates would you vote for? The results were a surprise, not because of who came in first, but because of the huge margin and how weak the rest of the field turned out to be in […]
For the length of this post, let’s set aside the fact that not only is there no manmade global warming going on, there’s no global warming at all occurring right now. Let’s say that I’m a global warming alarmist who’s absolutely convinced that manmade greenhouse gasses are going to super heat the earth and kill […]
Last week-end, self-help guru Jim Rohn passed away from pulmonary fibrosis. Rohn was a giant who spent decades helping people improve their lives and after getting a request from RWN reader Eric Neill, I decided to put together a “best-of” list of Rohn’s quotes. Enjoy! Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. If […]
How did I know that would be the inevitable outcome? President Obama will propose using $200 billion from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to support creating jobs, White House officials confirmed Monday. The president, in an economic speech before the Brookings Institution on Tuesday, will argue that the money would be well spent by […]
While no one could ever defend Beck’s every move, it would be much harder to defend his attackers. Glenn Beck, one the most popular political commentators, has been attacked again. This time the forum is the front page of Yahoo, not their typical AP stories mind you, this is an attack from one of their […]
Video here.
Believe it or not, the UN just whined that climategate is the Russian’s fault. It appears that the United Nation’s position is that the obvious cover-up of the false doctrine that is global warming perpetrated by global warming “scientists” is not the fault of the lying scientists, but that of the assumed “paid” Russian hacker […]
Now, I thought we wanted a world without color? I thought we wanted a world where “love” beat out misogyny, a world where people were “just people”? Yet we are still in an era where the Associated Press, with a serious tone and a straight face, reports the story of Tiger Woods daring to favor […]
Is nothing sacred to the militant moonbats bent on corrupting every aspect of our society? The answer: that’s right, nothing. So who knew? Santa Claus is a ho-ho homosexual. When the story goes public, it rocks the world. Well, at least in writer-performer Jeffrey Solomon’s “Santa Claus Is Coming Out,” his newest one-man show exploring […]
I can’t get over how Pres. Obama cannot seem to take the smallest of criticism. Does he even realize how whiny he seems? President Barack Obama recently called Rep. John Conyers Jr. to express his frustrations with the Judiciary Committee chairman’s criticism. In an interview with The Hill, Conyers said his opinions of Obama’s policies […]
