RWN’s Top Referrers For 2008

Here are RWN’s top referrers for 2008. 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 a statistics junky — you can see the comparable […]

Happy Hanukkah from the President

With a very long and rather painstaking two terms of the Bush Administration nearing its end, it’s nice to hear a few positive words about our country’s president being told. From a perspective that we seldom, if ever, see from the media, columnist Jay D. Homnick offers a few insights into President Bush’s character with […]

Gaza should thank Israel

They’ve been spared a menace: A boat carrying international peace activists, including former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, and medical supplies to the embattled Gaza Strip sailed back into a Lebanese port on Tuesday after being turned back and damaged by the Israeli navy, organizers of the trip said. Air strikes are nothing compared to the […]

Other Palestinian Reactions to Hamas Attacks From Gaza

Unlike apologists for Hamas here in the US, such as the Juicebox Mafia (I can’t help it, that name fits that crew about as well as any I’ve seen) even the Palestinians on the West Bank understand who is at fault for the violence in Gaza right now: In his visit to Egypt, PA President […]

Thought Of The Day: Blago, Burris, And Reid

So, is Harry Reid going to condone Democratic corruption by appointing Blago’s man, Roland Burris, or is he going to deny a black man a Senate seat because he’s a racist? It’s, “Why do you want to keep the Senate all white, Harry,” or, “You said you wouldn’t seat a tainted Blago Senate appointee. Why […]

British Bureauweenie Calls for Internet Suppression

You had to know moonbat totalitarians wouldn’t let the Internet last forever. Britain’s Culture Secretary plans his attack: Andy Burnham says he believes that new standards of decency need to be applied to the web. He is planning to negotiate with Barack Obama’s incoming American administration to draw up new international rules for English language […]

Moonbats Rally Around Hamas Terrorists

In case there are any doubts about whose side CNN is on in the conflict between Islamic terrorists and Western Civilization, check out this headline: World rallies around Palestinians amid Gaza offensive Former Democrat Congresswoman and Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney is equally subtle in her sympathies. A boat carrying international peace activists, including […]

The USA Isn’t Going To Break-Up In 2010, But…

Russian Igor Panarin’s theory about the break-up of the United States is being snickered at in the Wall Street Journal. For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument — that an economic and moral collapse […]

Pavlov’s Republicans

Although I have probably been the single harshest critic of Mitch McConnell in the blogosphere, I have to say that for the 2nd time since Obama was elected, he has done the right thing in the clutch. (He also encouraged Senate Republicans to oppose the bailout of the Big 3.) Congressional Republicans on Monday said […]

Nothing Says Christmas Like Devouring A Squirrel

Just in case you were wondering, I did get Patton a Christmas gift. This year, he got an American Kennel replica of his most hated adversary from the yard — the dreaded squirrel. The dog spent a good portion of the day chewing on ole Squirrely, but so far, the toy is holding up fine.

Hi-Ho Hope’N’Change, Away!

Never before have I seen an unintentional (?) parody that so perfectly summed up Barack Obama’s “hope and change” campaign, his supporters’ ridiculously high expectations for him, and his media portrayal — as the image on this t-shirt, If you’re so inclined, you can get the shirt here. Hat tip to E.M. Zanotti from The […]

The Seven Biggest Political Blunders of 2008

7) The punditocracy goof’s up the Granite State: Because it’s not fair to just pick on the politicians, it’s worth remembering that this campaign season had an enormous number of twists and turns that proved pundits, pollsters, and “political experts” of all stripes wrong again and again. The biggest of these foul-ups was in New […]

Dope on a Rope

Only Obamunism could produce soap guaranteed to make you feel dirtier. From the product description: What we’ve all been waiting for — a little hope, and Barack’s the man for the job. We made him purple, because we here at dugshop feel that he’s a true uniter, there are no red or blue states, we’re […]

Caroline: Obama II

The Obama phenomenon has been such a success, it has already inspired an imitation. Caroline Kennedy may not have Obama’s ethnic credentials or a name like a terrorist, but she is just as unqualified as the Moonbat Messiah, matches his aura of entitlement, and promises to do to nuclear power what The One wants to […]

The problem with crystal balls

If we pause for a minute to think about what we expected a year ago, we realize that we don’t have the ability to predict the future, a point I make in my latest column for Pajamas Media: In light of how things turned out, it is an amusing irony that in late 2007 it […]

I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And Senator […]

The Four Groups Of Conspiracy Theorists

From an email I received from a RWN reader who would prefer to remain anonymous, Today was my first time actually visiting your site — it proved to be a source of solace. I’ll explain. There is, indeed, lots of anti-American sentiment on the internet. There’s NWO talk, U.S. /FEMA camps for red/blue list targets, […]

The Worst Climate Predictions Of 2008? By Dennis Avery

“2008 will be the hottest year in a century:” The Old Farmers’ Almanac, September 11, 2008. We’re now well into the earth’s third straight harsher winter–but in late 2007 it was still hard to forget 22 straight years of global warming from 1976-1998. So the Old Farmer’s Almanac predicted 2008 would be the hottest year […]

This Week In Twitterage

Some of my favorite Twitter posts from the last few days… @abigvictory Wondering why Wiki is trying to raise 6 million dollars. How much does it cost to make sh*t up? @JPFreire The bus driver just denied passengers a right to their secret ballots in an election to stop at Burger King. UNION THUGGERY! @JulieJoyce […]

Disorienting news

I went to a holiday party Saturday night — actually sat in with the band for two numbers — and you’ll forgive me for being a bit discombobulated today. I freaked out when I saw this headline at Hot Air: Iran hangs ten on Christmas Eve The phrase “hangs ten” struck my cerebral cortex at […]

2008: The Year AGW Went Poof!

Climahysterics will get hysterical and will call Christopher Booker at The Telegraph all sorts of bad names. He goes back through his columns and comes to the conclusion that 2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved The first, on May 21, headed “Climate change threat to Alpine ski resorts” , reported that the […]
