Via Ezra Levant, via Mark Steyn, via Five Feet of Fury: Naomi Lakritz’ write-up of that patently absurd “The System Works” argument appears in the Calgary Herald. Maybe you’ve heard this one. Canada’s Human Rights Commission figures out it has been harassing an innocent man, as a result of its very own proceedings, dismisses the […]

There are a couple of columns I’ve read this morning about the Russo-Georgian war that have stuck with me. The first is by Spengler and while I don’t agree with most of what he has to say, there were some points he made that shouldn’t be discounted, If Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin were president […]

The Right Wing News Forum has now cracked the 200 member mark. The forum isn’t flying as fast as I’d like yet, but the traffic and number of posts are picking up. Feel free to join the forum and participate in the conversation.

The McCain campaign has put out another ad that hits the same themes as the now famous “Celebrity” and “The One” ads, Hilariously, Jake Tapper over at ABC is cranky because so many white women are featured in the video, How many young white women professing adoration for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, can you count […]

Arianna Huffington’s massive blog The Huffington Post is, I have to admit, getting better and better. Granted, the blog posts are still generally left-wing Koo-koo-ka-crap, but the page does break some news and occasionally has some intriguing off-the-wall posts. In fact, I think it’s fair to say that the HuffPo is now almost as generally […]

“In October, Obama’s former pastor, Wright, will publish a new book and hit the road to promote it, an occasion that might well place the topic of Obama’s blackness (along with his patriotism and his candor about what he heard in the pews in all those years at Trinity Church) squarely at the center of […]

I’ve deliberately refrained from commenting on Russia’s assault on Georgia in the last few days because it seemed difficult to add anything beyond the obvious… * Russia engineered this entire conflict and was waging a war of aggression against a small, democratic state and ally of the US in hopes of intimidating them and the […]

One of the biggest problems with our government today is there are so many people, who want to do so many things that defy all common sense, that incredibly stupid ideas can become law without ever hitting the public’s radar. For example, After more than two decades on the books, a little-known yet strictly enforced […]

The Washington Post debunks the myths about drilling propagated in the latest anti-drilling ad put out by the the Natural Resources Defense Council. But there are three “truths” masquerading as fact among drilling opponents that need to be challenged: Drilling is pointless because the United States has only 3 percent of the world’s oil reserves. […]

Well, it only took a day or two. I’m surprised how long it took, actually. Fred Kaplan does an excellent job, though, of bringing the irrational rage and absolute venom of the Left towards President Bush to the fore: Regardless of what happens next, it is worth asking what the Bush people were thinking when […]

Democrats have found a rich new vein for mining votes: convicted felons. In Alabama, Al Sharpton’s younger brother, the Rev. Kenneth Glasgow, will take his “Prodigal Son” ministry into state prisons with voter-registration cards for the first time. The American Civil Liberties Union recently filed suit there and in Tennessee to make it possible for […]

Excellent article by Seth Godin about what it takes to succeed on the internet and everywhere: The media wants overnight successes (so they have someone to tear down). Ignore them. Ignore the early adopter critics that never have enough to play with. Ignore your investors that want proven tactics and predictable instant results. Listen instead […]

Barack Obama’s army of 300 foreign policy advisors includes at least one familiar face: the smug visage of perpetually smirking ultra-left movie star George Clooney. Lately Loony’s Hollyweird career has suffered a slight setback, as he’s devoted his energies to making pretentious propaganda films that are only watched by masochistic moonbats out of ideological loyalty, […]

Update: And once again, McQ beats me to the punch. Eh, well, this is an important story and my take is a bit different. For what it’s worth, I’m not quite sure that Russia plans to stop and let Georgia remain sovereign at all. As of this writing, they look to be pushing into central […]

The Russian invasion of Georgia is more than just a military action, it is a statement to the world that Russia is back and seeking to regain its superpower status. In a carefully chosen military action, it is essentially thumbing its nose at the West and especially NATO. I say carefully chosen because unlike the […]

Last week, I did a phone interview with my RWN co-blogger, Ron Coleman of Likelihood of Confusion and Likelihood of Success. Ron is one the premier internet lawyers out there and has represented numerous bloggers, myself included, in court and/or against legal bullying. What follows is an edited transcript of our conversation. What’s the most […]

1) Did the affair begin before Hunter began working with the campaign? If nothing was going on, why did Edwards pay a novice $114,000 to shoot a handful of videos for his campaign? 2) If Edwards’ loyalist Andrew Young is really the father of Rielle Hunter’s baby, why did his wife consent to having Hunter […]

The website of the day is Stop The ACLU.    

Part of my duty, as a professional blogger, is to read the tabloid stories that most of you are too classy to touch with a 10 ft. pole so that I can let you know whether we have another John Edwards/Rielle Hunter scandal or merely the political version of Batboy. So, when I saw this […]

Yesterday, I finally got around to seeing The Dark Knight, which looks like it’s on pace to crack the $500 million dollar mark domestically. To be honest, I went in wondering if the movie would live up to the hype and for the first 30 minutes of this 2 1/2 hour long flick, things seemed […]

Hey, it would be really great if you could click on a few of my advertisers to show them that advertising on Right Wing News pays off for them. The more clicks they get, the better value they get for their money, the more likely they are to advertise here again… Link #1 Link #2 […]

“Taking in my opponent’s performances is a little like watching a big summer blockbuster, and an hour in, realizing that all the best scenes were in the trailer you saw last fall.” — John McCain

Last week was a pleasant enough week, blogging-wise, because I experienced an Instalanche over at Likelihood of Success. Why should you care? Because that brief (not unprecedented) moment of attention resulted in yet another lesson about the way the left sees the role of truth, media and the American way. I had commented on a […]

I had a very interesting and unusual week this week (and it precluded me posting here). As a member of the DoD Blogger’s Roundtable, I was offered an opportunity which, frankly, I couldn’t refuse. Tuesday evening I boarded the USS Kearsarge, a Wasp class Amphibious Assault ship based in Norfolk VA. As you can imagine, […]

The story Last month 25-year-old U.S. Army PFC Robin Long became the first war resister since the Vietnam War to be forcefully deported from Canadian soil and handed over to military authorities. Robin is currently being held in the El Paso County Jail, near Colorado Springs, Colorado, awaiting a military court martial for resisting the […]

HydroWALK 2008 “The Fight To Save Cole” It’s that time of the year again as we all come together to raise money and awareness to find a cure for Hydrocephalus and help save my now 3 year old son Cole, and others like him, from this potentially fatal condition. Last year, with your help, the […]

Via Rick, a more-impressive-than-usual sampling of just plain raw unfettered stupidity from the Huffington Post. We like to belabor the obvious here at The Blog That Nobody Reads…so first, we’ll read Ms. Haydn’s remarks in full…then some bullet points. Have you ever gone through a really dry period sexually? At first you get angry that […]

Investor’s Business Daily takes a inside look at the GOP Senate members of the energy issue based “Gang of 10”: Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson of Georgia, Bob Corker of Tennessee, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John Thune of South Dakota — remember their names if things go badly for the GOP this […]
