The things you can find offered as serious journalism. PERHAPS the most insidious byproduct of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has been a reflexive sanctification of the military. To put this in bumper stickerese: Support the Troops. Well, I have an ugly confession to make: I don’t support the troops – at least not […]

Surprise, surprise. Here’s the report from the Rocky Mountain News:  Metro State College is investigating a professor who asked students to write an essay critical of Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin. One student said the instructor singled out Republican students in the class and allowed others to ridicule them. "I was shocked, I was […]

…Right Wing News Forum. It’s still slowly but steadily growing…

Just because they badmouth our country at every opportunity, attempt to cause it to lose wars, side with its foreign critics, and strive to “Change” it into something unrecognizable doesn’t mean Democrats aren’t patriotic. They just exhibit a different kind of patriotism. Love of country is a hard thing to describe. But liberals’ alternative has […]

My good friends at The News Buckit blog are wondering about "The Lieberman Effect." Could Joe Lieberman, undoubtedly the most well known Jewish member of Congress, be swinging Jewish voters to McCain? McCain’s making huge gains, and that is all I can think of that’s changed in the recent past. Or maybe Jewish voters are […]

For years now, the Left, in its attacks on the strategy in Iraq, has complained that no one really knows what success in Iraq looks like. It seemed beyond comprehension to envision a stable Iraq. This year has been marked, however, by signs of success, including the Iraqis taking control of the Anbar province, once […]

Relative moderates who haven’t been driven out of the Democrat Party like Joe Lieberman are bailing out on their own, alarmed at how dangerously radicalized it has become. Former Shrillary supporter Donald Trump was never a good fit for the Dems, considering that he wanted to rebuild the World Trade Center after 9/11, which is […]

As a general rule, I’m against the government bailing out anything, ever, and going by the latest Rasmussen poll, most Americans seem to agree with me, “Only seven percent (7%) of voters think the federal government should use taxpayer funds to keep a large financial institution solvent. Sixty-five percent (65%) say let the company file […]

“It must stink being a network global warming alarmist. They just can’t seem to get their stories straight. It’s only been a couple months (since) the networks were screaming about Arctic ice disappearing this summer. And, no surprise, they were entirely wrong. By 1.74 million square miles. As Maxwell Smart used to say: “Missed it […]

Hannity did a fair, but dull interview and Palin gave fair, but dull responses. He didn’t ask a lot of hard questions, she didn’t make any mistakes, and all it all, I don’t think it was particularly helpful or harmful to the campaign. I’m not opposed to softball interviews. In fact, that’s what I like […]

You probably don’t know Daniel Edwards, but oh, you will remember his work. Remember this bust of Hillary Clinton? Those of you who haven’t already hurled after seeing Hillary done up like a “wrinkled, effeminate man,” should probably turn your head before you look at this sculpture of Britney Spears giving birth, Well now, Edwards […]

Since McCain selected Palin and went into the convention, he hasn’t released as many ads and he hasn’t been continuing to fiercely attack Obama’s unreadiness to be President. That’s a big mistake and it is blunting his momentum. Let me tell you why: the media simply will not cover a positive message from McCain. So, […]

John McCain in Feb of 2008, when he was trying to get conservatives to support him in the primary, And while I and other Republican supporters of the bill were genuine in our intention to restore control of our borders, we failed, for various and understandable reasons, to convince Americans that we were. I accept […]

Third Rail Radio is having me on at 8:35 PM EST to discuss the election. You can listen to it here.

Hi all, obviously I’m back for now. I’m blogging from Florida where I’m staying with my brother. While word on the street is that power has returned to my neighborhood, phone service has not. So, I might be back in The Woodlands and not have a computer connection. My house is fine and I’m just […]

Every time I see a Democrat up to his neck in a scandal and then thumbs his nose at any form of punishment when an average American would be in jail (and is defended, by the way by the Speaker Nancy Pelosi), I exchange his name for a Republican’s name. When it comes to sex […]

At 4:07 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

As I pointed out previously, Nancy Pelosi is clueless. Apparently history, at least for her, started after at least 2005. As Ed Morrissey points out, 2005 would be the year John McCain made this speech: Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few […]

Glenn Reynolds links to some guy who got caught “having sex” if you could call it that with his comatose wife. Here’s what the guy’s attorney said: Johnson’s lawyer, T. Christopher Kelly, of Madison, said his client should be left alone. “Mr. Johnson deeply loves his wife,” Kelly said. “He’s spent every day talking to […]

Shrillary has met her match — or rather, is hiding to avoid meeting her: Hillary Clinton has pulled out of an appearance at a New York rally next week to protest Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, her aides say because she doesn’t want to be seen alongside Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in a “partisan” […]

ACORN has been up to its usual tricks in Michigan: The Michigan branch of Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), located in Detroit, is being investigated after several municipal clerks reported fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications coming through. The majority of the fraudulent and duplicate applications are coming from the ACORN group […]

If you want to know why people have so little faith in the media, you don’t really need to look much farther than the hot, new Carly Fiorina story that’s making the rounds. If you go to Google News, here are the headlines you’ll see, Sarah Palin, others don’t have heads for business, Carly Fiorina […]

Has there ever been a vice-presidential nominee who has inspired as much hatred, fear, and outright sexism as Sarah Palin has in such a short period of time? Keep in mind that quotes about Sarah Palin and her family you are about to read — many of which are from members of the mainstream media […]

Here are the results from a poll of RWN’s readers on the, “most serious threat to success and prosperity for Americans over the long haul.” There were 859 replies at the time when I compiled the answers. Gay Marriage: 0% Nuclear proliferation: 1% Abortion / Declining Birthrate: 2% National Debt: 8% Reliance on foreign oil: […]

“Senator Obama is not interested in the politics of hope, he’s interested in his political future and that’s why he’s hurling in insults and making up facts about his record. Today, he claimed that the Congressional stimulus package was his idea. That’s news to those of us in Congress who supported it. Senator Obama didn’t […]

“The enduring scandal of the McCain campaign is that it wants to win. The press had hoped for a harmless, nostalgic loser like Bob Dole in 1996. In a column excoriating Republicans for historically launching successful attacks against Democratic presidential candidates in August, Time columnist Joe Klein excepted Bob Dole — not mentioning that Dole […]

I’m not going to be there personally, but the BlogWorldExpo this week-end in Las Vegas is going to be a great event. If you’re going to be in Vegas, you should definitely stop by. It’ll be a lot of fun.
