Ok, Not To Depress You, But…

Here are the latest battleground state poll numbers for McCain. I don’t want to depress you, but the stats are extremely grim given the amount of time we have left before the election, That’s right. Obama is up in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, and Virginia — among others. You may be wondering how many […]

Thought Of The Day: “That’s Racist” Is Becoming Irrelevant.

One happy side effect of the Obama campaign is that it’s going to destroy the effectiveness of the Left’s “That’s racist” attack forever. As the phrase is used more and more, in increasingly ridiculous ways, people are becoming numb to it — and if people are indifferent to being called racist, because it’s so overused, […]

I Have 4 Words For You: “We Can’t Afford It.”

For years, conservatives have been talking about the potential consequences of out-of-control spending — and guess what? The consequences are here. The markets are plunging, we’re probably already in a recession, and we may be genuinely headed towards a financial crisis of global proportions. And this crisis? It isn’t merely another turn of the wheel […]

Watch While Dems Try To Blame Financial Mess On Deregulation (and Republicans)

The Heritage Foundation’s “Morning Bell” points me to something Sebastian Mallaby said today in the WaPo: [B]laming deregulation for the financial mess is misguided. But it is dangerous, too, because one of the big challenges for the next president will be to defend markets against the inevitable backlash that follows this crisis. Even before finance […]

AP: It’s Racist to Mention Obama’s Terrorist Ties

The media’s attempt to install an unqualified ultra-left radical in the White House has entered the Twilight Zone with the alarmingly powerful AP’s attempt to smear as racist anyone who objects to Obama’s close association with anti-American terrorists. Obama is a protégé of unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, who introduced him to the Chicago […]

Al Gore Continues to Spew Climate Lies

Al Gore tells lies about the climate as fast as they can be debunked. Now he wants us to believe that nonexistent global warming is causing more powerful tornadoes and floods. Proclaims the Goracle: Yes, we’ve always had tornadoes in Iowa and in Tennessee. But they’re coming more frequently and they’re stronger. Via Watts Up […]

Senate Wants To Empower Parent Censorship

Found via Slashdot, Matt Lasar reports: The United States Senate has unanimously passed a bill that requires the Federal Communications Commission to explore what “advanced blocking technologies” are available to parents to help filter out “indecent or objectionable programming.” The “Child Safe Viewing Act” (S. 602) was sponsored by Senator Mark Pryor, Democrat of Arkansas. […]

Analysis Of The Senate Races: One Month Out.

Currently, there are 49 Democrats, 49 Republicans, and 2 Independents who caucus with the Dems in the Senate. That means the Dems need 9 more seats to get to 60, which would allow them to shut down any Republican filibuster attempts at will. At the moment, the situation is particularly precarious for the GOP. McCain […]

Tom McClintock Deserves Your Support

Folks, I’d like to take a moment to encourage you to chip in a few bucks to Tom McClintock. He’s the only candidate endorsed both by Tom Tancredo’s Team America PAC and the Club for Growth, so, as you’d imagine — this is a guy you can trust on illegal immigration and on issues of […]

A Review Of An American Carol

This week-end I caught David Zucker’s An American Carol. The general idea behind it is a Michael Moore stand-in wants to ban the 4th of July — and 3 ghosts, General Patton (yes, that General Patton), George Washington, and the Angel of Death try to straighten him out. The general idea behind the movie is […]

Poll Question: Congress Or Random People From The Phone Book?

Per Rasmussen polling, Only half (49%) believe that the current Congress is better than individuals selected at random from the phone book. Thirty-three percent (33%) believe a randomly selected group of Americans could do a better job and 19% are not sure So, with that in mind, let’s see what RWN’s readers think. Would you […]

Video Of The Day: The Opening Of Idiocracy

I just watched this opening from the movie Idiocracy and it seemed frighteningly plausible. Be forewarned, there’s some bad language in this, but take a look at it, and think about the demographic trends in the world today. It’s like the Peter Principle applied to the human race…

Suggest Some Music For Me

Here are the top 20 songs on my MP3 list right now. To be honest, I haven’t found a lot of great, new stuff to listen to over the last few months. Take a look at my list and suggest some new songs for me… 50 Cent: Hate It or Love It AC/DC: Thunderstruck Evanescence: […]

The new criticism

Slate Magazine is diagramming Sarah Palin’s sentences, and concludes — surprise! — she’s a doofus. Scanning this article (it is not worth more than a scan), what is remarkable is that despite being one of the best all-around destinations on the Internet for good, insightful writing, when it comes to politics Slate remains utterly unselfconscious […]

The One That Yelps Loudest

Throw a rock into a pack of dogs, and the one that yelps the loudest is the one that got hit. And God bless Sarah Palin, that girl knows how to throw a rock. Misquoting Albright: Yelp! Fact Check: Yelp! Analysis: Yelp! Yelp! Yelp! With some “racism” sprinkled on top. And class, you do remember […]

Reviewing “An American Carol”

Friday I told you all to go see the new conservative movie An American Carol. Before I get into the review, here’s the trailer: I thought the movie would be hilarious. And it was. I loved it. David Zucker, best known for directing Airplane! and the Naked Gun movies, did a great job. While his […]

Same Old Song and Most Likely, Same Old Dance

My how things change – or not. Any idea who said this and when? “I believe that most Americans would agree on the problems this country faces and which the next administration must solve. They include the need, once again, for an economy that works. The economy today is in very, very bad shape, the […]

NFL Sunday

Stat of the day-Giants 523 yards, Seahawks 187 Deadskins at Egirls (5) – 23-17 Skins. Skins […]

Felon Vote Could Help Obama. Ya Think?

The Associated Press provides one of their best “gee, ya think so?” headlines of the year: Push to register felons to vote could aid Obama Undaunted by the heat, James Bailey spent his late-summer afternoons walking Virginia’s bleakest neighborhoods on the hunt for ex-cons — each a potential voter who might cast the decisive ballot […]

Cleaning up the terminology

This will be a quick post because, this weekend, soccer is my life. Fortunately, I only want to make a quick point, and it’s one that I think needs to be made over and over and over again. As you may recall from Thursday’s debate, Biden kept saying that our current financial woes arose because […]
