Matthew Vadum of the American Spectator investigates: I have just discovered that three senior ACORN officials have recently given wildly divergent accounts of the size of ACORN’s budget. ACORN current CEO and chief organizer Bertha Lewis claimed in October that ACORN had an “average budget” between “$20 [million] and $25 million a year for everything, […]

Someone’s missing from Chairman Zero’s long list of czars: Education Czar Bill Ayers, the Maoist terrorist who bombed the Capitol Building and the Pentagon, was let off on a technicality (as KSM could be), then discovered that he could do more damage to America by joining the education establishment and grooming a certain left-wing community […]
Of course, the Grey Lady’s main investigative journalists, the ones who get published on the front page, aren’t involved. Instead, John Tierney’s piece is published on the science pages: E-Mail Fracas Shows Peril of Trying to Spin Science If you have not delved into the thousands of e-mail messages and files hacked from the computers […]
Tiger Woods is in the deep rough today. He’s avoiding talking to the police. They’re seeking search warrants for his medical records. This is a disaster of monumental proportions for the golf star. No matter what he loses. He was either under the influence of some controlled and crashed his vehicle. Or, he was beat […]
As usual, a far left web site has gone stark raving bonkers. Yes, yes, I know, this isn’t actually shocking or special. But, yesterday, Think Progress has ramped up the bat s**t crazy to level 8 Washington Times Runs Anti-Obama Birther Ad Featuring Racial Undertones This latest national edition of the Washington Times features a […]
On a regular basis, liberals offer up appallingly dumb solutions to problems that they created in the first place. For example, there’s no real reason that we need to close the jail for Jihadis we have at Guantanamo Bay. It’s a muddleheaded, completely arbitrary choices that creates more issues than it solves. One of those […]
“My fellow citizens, the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery.” — Sarah Palin Since he has been elected, Barack Obama has been like a four year old wearing water wings and desperately trying to reach the edge of the pool. In other words, he has been completely out of […]
Raw politics, of course. The rationalization begins by those with a vested interest (don’t forget the IPCC was awarded a Nobel prize for this scientific twaddle) in the “scientific consensus”. In defense of the indefensible, the powers to be try to minimize what they can’t dismiss: There is “virtually no possibility” of a few scientists […]
You may have noticed the “thumbs up / thumbs down” icons in the corner of the posts on RWN. Percentage wise, very few readers of RWN rate posts — and that’s too bad — because that information helps the bloggers here know what you like. So, don’t hesitate to rate the posts. It may have […]
An email is going around with this as the content: NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA Looking for evidence of Obama’s past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him. Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who […]
Mike Huckabee apparently should have erred more on the side of caution in dispensing pardons when he was governor of Arkansas. He pardoned rapist Wayne DuMond, who then later raped another woman. Now, it looks like he’s done it again — well, sort of. Maurice Clemmons, the lunatic who murdered four policemen, was given clemency […]
Cindy Sheehan was the darling of the liberal media establishment, before it dumped her for its new love, Barack Hussein Obama. But she’s still out there promoting the progressive agenda. Here she displays her respect for a veteran: This sordid scene occurred at Travis Air Force Base on Saturday. Videotape of the incident shows that […]
Of all the annoying bumper sticker bleats that Obamunists subject us to, the most absurd is their cherished notion that letting a sophomoric community activist moonbat play president will “restore America’s standing in the world.” America’s standing didn’t need restoration, although it will before this tragic farce is over with. But everyone likes us now, […]
In case you missed it this weekend… Is there more to this story? The Anchoress thinks so. Gateway Pundit has more details about how the Crashers are buddies with Obama’s buddy terrorist-loving Rashid Khalidi. Anyway, American Power has more. I just wanted you guys to know that there might be more story behind the fame-grabbing […]
So NBC, and CBS, if you see this blog know that you now have no excuse not to cover climategate. The American people have a right to know what is going on, not just what fits your agenda. We are sick and tired of the lack of coverage of important stories like this one. Perhaps, […]
Leslie Sanchez, a Republican strategist and former advisor to President George Bush, has written a timely book about politics and the American woman. In “You’ve Come A Long Way, Maybe,” she takes a hard non partisan look at three woman in particular. Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama, and Hillary Clinton. It is fascinating to compare such […]
Almost 40% of William Howard Taft’s cabinet officials were from the private sector. Ike had nearly 60% of his appointees sporting private sector experience. Reagan had about 55% and George W. Bush about 53%. Even FDR and Truman had half their cabinet officials with private sector experience. And Obama? Less than 10%. That means that […]
This is going to leave a mark. Of course, Obama listens to no one but Obama and his political advisers, clueless all (found during a venture into the fever swamps of the DU) Monday, November 30th, 2009 Dear President Obama, Do you really want to be the new “war president”? If you go to West […]
Andrew Sullivan, is, in a word, tedious: I’ve emailed Bellow asking him about the fact-checking process for “Going Rogue.” Getting an on-the-record confirmation that, for example, Harper Collins reviewed the medical records proving Palin’s multiple medical stories (including corrected hospital records by her own account) would be a useful piece of information. Since it appears […]
The road AGW is traveling down has taken a turn from Silly Lane (worse acne, alligators in the Thames, collapse of gingerbread houses) to Stupidity Rd. The Climate and Health Council, a collaboration of worldwide health organisations including the Royal College of Nursing, the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal Society of Medicine, believes […]
Let’s face it, he’s boring — which my latest column at The American Spectator is certainly not: At some point, reasonable people might expect an end to these épater les bourgeoisie gestures, as the bourgeoisie have long since ceased to be shocked by such routine public exhibitions. . . . More than four decades have […]
* ACORN needs to be destroyed, if only to prove that connected liberals still have to obey the law like the rest of us. * After having been lazy for a couple of days, I think I finally see what the lazy people see. It’s quite relaxing. * There is no such thing as “proving […]
Back in 1951, Eric Hoffer wrote a brilliant book called The True Believer. From the intro, here’s what it’s designed to explain: “This book deals with some of the peculiarities common to all mass movements, be they religious movements, social revolutions, or national movements. It does not maintain that all movements are identical, but that […]
There are two MSM reports out tonight, and in print newspapers in the morning. From the New York Times, “Secret Service Interviews Gate-Crashers“: As part of a broadening inquiry into presidential security, Secret Service agents have interviewed the Virginia couple who sneaked into a White House state dinner last week, a senior federal official involved […]
This advertising campaign is, well, bad. Very, very bad. There is a certain irony, though, you know. The defense representation being offered here is in fact completely legitimate — n0t only to sleazeballs, slime and creeps, who are constitutionally entitled to their defense (just not by me), but to people involved in all sorts of […]
Devastating revelations about the bogus science of the climate-change fanatics inspired me Saturday to reflect on the Temple Cult of Scientism: The High Priests perform their statistical rituals and the cultists genuflect reverently before their idol, Science. Today’s latest news — that the original data which generated the global-warming thesis were long ago destroyed — […]
For some lighter fare today… When DVDs first began to contain those now ubiquitous special features, those mini documentaries, series of interviews, or behind the scenes shoots, it seemed like such an exciting idea, especially for film buffs (or series fans). But now that they have become fairly common and now that I’ve seen a […]
Yesterday, the “scientists” involved in ClimateGate made an important announcement Leading British scientists at the University of East Anglia, who were accused of manipulating climate change data – dubbed Climategate – have agreed to publish their figures in full. In a statement welcomed by climate change sceptics, the university said it would make all the […]
Crossposted from STACLU: The ACLU continues its tradition of being Scrooge to Christian free speech during the Christmas season: The ACLU sent a letter dated Nov. 11 asking the city to “end the unlawful endorsement of religion,” claiming that the city paid for animals used in a Nativity scene. The letter accused the city of […]
