Hold Your Horses

Glenn Reynolds says something I’ve been thinking: But I think that Republicans should be careful about launching a cult of Sarah Palin. She’s the V.P. pick, not the head of the ticket. She’s still a relative newcomer to national politics. She’s virtually sure to commit at least one major mistake between now and November. And […]

Barack Obama’s Quote of the Day

Barack Obama during an interview with George Stephanopoulos: Let’s not play games. I was suggesting – you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. I’m of course not suggesting that Obama actually meant that he’s a Muslim, or that his statement was anything other than a misleading choice of words, […]

Palin’s “First Gaffe” Not A Gaffe At All

Over at the Huffington Post, they’re breathlessly reporting that Sarah Palin made her first gaffe. Here’s the spin, Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had “gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers.” The companies, as McClatchy reported, “aren’t taxpayer […]

Panic Spreads Among the Nutroots

Nutroots kooks are scurrying for safe holes in the baseboards, having realized that the media’s campaign to pass off Barack Obama as a credible presidential candidate is doomed to failure. Amusingly, they choose to blame the very media that set the unqualified junior nobody up on his post. In a HuffPo post entitled, “We’re Gonna […]

“Enthusiasm Gap” Closing

Poll numbers come and poll numbers go. McCain/Palin are now enjoying an expected convention bounce which has put them, depending on which poll you consult, anywhere from 2 points to 10 points ahead. But that’s going to change as we continue to move toward the election. That means it’s a little early to put too […]

The Quote Of The Day: From The Daily Kos?

“Don’t shoot the messenger. A new poll coming out in tomorrow’s USA Today has McCain up 54 to 44 amongst LVs, 50 to 46 amongst RV. Here’s the link. The only good news is that Kerry was behind by more at this time in 2004. Then again, that isn’t such great news.” — Daily Kos […]

Hypocritical Christians Who Support The Palins

The Anchoress writes today about the charge that those who hold that the Christian ideal of virginity and also support Bristol Palin reveal themselves to be hypocrites: Listen: chastity is the ideal; of course it is the ideal, and it is an achievable one, but only if it is understood as valuable, to start with. […]

Obama Vs. Palin — On The Basketball Court?

How bad is Sarah Palin getting into Obama’s head when he has been reduced to this? ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos Reports: The rivalry between the Democratic and Republican tickets for president could shift from the ballot box to the hardwood if Barack Obama has his way. In an exclusive interview airing this morning on “This […]

Throw Away That Steak And Save The Planet!

Despite the fact that most of the recent available evidence seems to suggest that earth is going into a cooling phase, the global warming doomsayers are still at it. If you want to see how far the Al Gore crowd would go if they could get away with it, I think this piece at the […]

Video Of The Day: Afro Ninja!

Yes, this video isn’t even close to new, but I saw it again today and it just never gets old. If you haven’t seen this yet, make sure you do. It’ll be the best 18 seconds of your morning. Update #1: Incidentally, Afro Ninja may not have landed on his feet in the video, but […]

Wheels Are Coming Off Obamessiah’s Chariot

It looks like America might not be willing to slit its wrists on the media’s command after all. USA Today ruefully admits that McCain leads the flagging Wizard of Uhs by 10 points among those most likely to vote, largely thanks to Saracuda having put an end to the enthusiasm gap. As we go into […]

Why I Am Now Supporting John McCain For President

As RWN’s regular readers already know, I have been a harsh critic of John McCain for a long time and back in May, I wrote a post called, “Why I Will No Longer Support John McCain For President.” That post was widely linked and was probably why I was blackballed from the Republican National Convention. […]

Sarah Palin and The Press

At this point no one can argue that the press and elites editorializing on major newspaper pages, lead by a coterie of elite women including Maureen Dowd, Andrea Mitchell, Sally Quinn, Gloria Steinem and even, in an unguarded moment, Peggy Noonan, have been kind to Sarah Palin and her family. Scurrilous rumors began swirling the […]

Three Podcasts You’ll Want To Check Out.

First off, here’s an hour long interview I did with Skewz that focused on media bias. I thought they asked some really good questions. Next up, you can listen to my appearance this week-end on Meet the New Press. Last but not least, if you haven’t checked it out already, make sure to listen to […]

Deploying Hillary

The next few weeks are going to be very interesting in terms of political strategy as well as tactics. The introduction of Sarah Palin into the electoral mix has badly disconcerted the Dems and thrown them off stride. The Obama campaign’s initial reaction was to go after her directly by questioning her credentials and experience. […]

Gov. Palin Rumors List

Blogger Charlie Martin has compiled a long list of rumors (which he notes have been debunked) that have been spread by the far left and some in the mainstream media about Gov. Sarah Palin. It’s a post that should be bookmarked as he plans on adding to it each time a new rumor is started […]

Bait and switch

What do you get from the Democrats if you do a Google search for SARAH PALIN SPEECH? And what are the intellectual property law implications of it? Well, at least as of last night, you got something other than what you were most probably looking for, if you clicked on the top “sponsored link” for […]

Go tell it on the mountain!

Don’t feel too bad if you don’t know that Richard Greene has a radio show called “Clout.” It’s on Air America which means, of course, that the title is pretty ironic, even if it isn’t meant that way. Greene is one of those lefties who cannot fathom any reasoned basis for disagreement with his political […]

One Party’s Trash Is Another Party’s Treasure

Crossposted from Stop the ACLU: My co-blogger Roger wrote about this on the September 1st, and yes the entire Democratic party should be ashamed. Of course, they aren’t. So, why wouldn’t people question your patriotism when you treat the flag like this? This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver […]

“Hurricane” Hanna Was A Dud In My Area

Tropical storm Hanna blew through my neck of the woods last night and happily, it turned out that it hit like John Edwards. There were some small and medium sized branches down and a neighbor’s picket fence blew over, but there didn’t seem to be any major damage. At the moment, it has stopped raining, […]
