The gossip mags are all running pics of Sarah Palin by the pool in Miami. I wasn’t entirely sure it was her, though. For example, these first two are la ittle ambiguous. However, this definitely looks like Sarahcuda, doesn’t it? You can see all the pics here.

One of the big questions of the day is whether or not you, me, and the rest of the American taxpayers should be bailing out the Big 3 Automakers. Not only should we not be bailing them out, we shouldn’t even be asking the question. It’s not the job of the government to decide which […]

Right Wing News emailed almost 260 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of whom they considered to be their “Favorite People On The Right.” Representatives from the following 44 blogs responded… All American Blogger, Atlas Shrugs, Axis of Right, Bad Example, Blonde Sagacity, Bookworm Room, (Matt) Bull Moose Strikes Back, (Laura) […]

Stupid man meets nature: A young man’s irresponsible bravado nearly cost a young girl her life Saturday afternoon. The 16-year-old girl was mauled by a cougar and rushed to the hospital after she and 21-year-old Anthony Zitnick illegally entered a wildlife collector’s home about 1:30 p.m. Neighbors believe Zitnick was trying to impress the younger […]

The economy is affecting everything. HOWLING FJORD – High above the Great Sea, once the site of fierce battles, Valgarde settlement now sits empty. Stung by plummeting real estate prices, Alliance and Horde forces have returned to Kalimdor, leaving behind foreclosure signs and broken dreams. All across Northrend such depressing sights abound. In Dragonblight, Wyrmrest […]

Hawkins’ Note: The original video was having loading problems, so I switched it out with the YouTube version. It should work fine now…

Perhaps some of the climahysterics can explain how this occurred A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore’s chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and […]

In trying to place the blame for California’s Prop 8, which bans gay marriage in California, on Mormons, the NYT completely ignores contrary evidence that it was the huge number of Obama voters in CA who really tipped the scale in passing the controversial measure. In particular, black voters in CA voted 70%-30% in favor […]

Everyone is asking “WWBD?” as of late. What Will Barry Do? is obviously of importance, considering all the hopiness and changiness that Barry promised to the weak minded dupes who never thought to inquire why they were serving on something called a “Death Star.” Patterico solicited ideas on this the other day, and there were […]

Washington Post White House correspondent Chris Cillizza lists five (false) myths that have already sprung up about the election, of which the last two are the most important for Republicans to examine: A Republican candidate could have won the presidency this year. McCain made a huge mistake in picking Sarah Palin. Now, on the first, […]

Princeton University announced last month that Shirley M. Tilghman, the University’s president, will serve as “one of the founding trustees for King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, a new international, coeducational, graduate-level research university that is being created near Saudi Arabia’s second largest city, Jeddah.” Isn’t that an odd choice for a high commissar […]

It’s time to end the post mortem and get moving, the only problem being that “getting moving” is proving to be as rancorous amongst conservatives as was the political cycle itself. One of the schisms I’m seeing in my own blog is between pro-Life and pro- (or, at least, not anti-) abortion types. That got […]

Instapundit says “blame Catharine McKinnon” (who pioneered the legal theory of sexual harassment as a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act) for two recent deaths at the University of Iowa: For the second time this year, a professor at the University of Iowa has taken his own life after being accused of sexual harassment. […]

Delegates at the Canadian Conservative Party convention just voted overwhelmingly to repeal Section 13.1 of our “Human Rights” law — that’s the notorious “likely” clause, i.e., someone could argue that Seinfeld re-runs are “likely” to expose Jews to “hatred and contempt” and conceivably get them banned from Canadian airwaves. Ezra Levant has the good news, […]

Saturday ——– Ali Akbar Bookworm from Bookworm Room Cassy Fiano Kathy Shaidle Five Feet Of Fury Morgan from House of Eratosthenes Gina Cobb John Stephenson from Stop The ACLU Little Miss Attila Sunday ——- Ron Coleman from Likelihood of Success Sister Toldjah William Teach from […]

Forbes warns us: If you think runaway oil prices are upsetting, just wait for what’s in store for electricity. Similar forces are in play. Demand is rising fast; supply is not. The cost to get coal and natural gas out of the ground is going up, and to that expense must be added the cost […]

Anyone with more brain cells than a ripe tomato knew that Barack Obama and Bill Ayers are buddies and far more than passing acquaintances in the snobby Chicago neighborhood where they, without irony, reside. Now, the press has decided to pretend at interest. From Ace: The truth is not a smear. What we established to […]

If Barack Obama can be elected president, anything is possible: even the corrupt and obnoxious hard-left professional clown Al Franken joining the Senate. He lost the election, so he is pulling an Al Gore, with his supporters manufacturing postelection votes by the hundreds in the most open contempt for democrat processes since their fellow progressive […]

Now that the campaigning is over for a few months, the media is dropping some of the pretenses that allowed it to install an unqualified, left-wing radical in the White House. People who get their news from the leftstream media may vaguely recognize the name William Ayers. He was a terrorist who bombed a long […]

I’m just full of joi de vivre. The economy will get worse. It just makes sense. Car companies are in long term trouble because people can drive older used cars. Retailers are in long term trouble because people can buy cute enough clothes at Wal-Mart and Target. The housing market won’t rebound for a while […]

On this week’s edition of Right Wing News Radio at Blogtalkradio, I talked about the future of the conservative movement, conservatives vs. reformers, Republican leadership races, what will happen when Barack takes charge, Dems vs. Dems, and a few other assorted, sundry topics. Don’t miss it.

Liberals love to claim that conservatives are anti-science, but on manmade global warming, who has been pointing for years to scientific evidence that global warming is a farce while the left has been taken in by silly propaganda flicks about polar bears going extinct because too many people are driving SUVs? In fact, I suspect […]

All the messianic rhetoric and worshipful press coverage of Barack Obama seems to have sunk in because the American people have some extraordinarily high expectations for his first term, Nearly two-thirds of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Thursday said President-elect Obama will change the country for the better. Twenty-five percent said […]

A group called Action First asked me to help publicize their efforts to save Saxby Chambliss’ seat in Georgia. Since they seem to be doing good work and since that seat is in more danger than most people realize, I agreed. Here is an excerpt from their email to me, …We need 200 volunteers to […]

Since the election, the left has alternately gloated, pleaded for conservatives and liberals to pull together to help Barack Obama in the name of unity, or shamelessly carped about “right wing rage.” The gloating is expected and the unity pleas are naive, but let’s talk about “right wing rage.” Among others, the Los Angeles Times […]

Over at National Review, James Gimpel has written a piece called “Center? What Center? The center is never a fixed position to move toward” that I agree with wholeheartedly. In fact, it echoes what I wrote earlier this week in a piece called “GOP Branding.” Here’s an excerpt from Gimpel that’ll give you the gist […]

After a second crushing defeat in a row, it’s not surprising that there is a debate in the GOP about whether the party should move to the right or even further towards center. Like many conservatives, I’m of the opinion that we should move back to the right and try to formulate some new ideas […]

Jennifer Rubin is an excellent young conservative writer, but she needs to stop paying attention to David Brooks, a point on which I elaborate at AmSpecBlog: This panic-struck reaction to the debacle of 11/4 is what I sought to forestall in my columns of Nov. 5 and Nov. 12. First, there is the normal tendency […]

More GM bailout news: Momentum is building in Washington for a rescue package for the auto industry to head off a possible bankruptcy filing by General Motors, which is rapidly running low on cash. But not everyone agrees that a Chapter 11 filing by G.M. would be the disaster that many fear. Some experts note […]
