Even before yesterday, Ted Stevens was generally considered by most conservatives to be too corrupt, too out of it, and too much of an appropriator to be an effective senator. But now, it has gotten even worse, Veteran Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens was charged on Tuesday with concealing more than $250,000 worth of gifts, […]

At 4:00 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

“A number of influential people in Russia, China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam say the planet is now entering a 30-year cooling period, the second half of a normal cycle driven by cyclical changes in the sun’s output and currents in the Pacific Ocean. Their theory leaves true believers in carbon catastrophe livid. To judge by […]

“When Obama walked on stage at the McCormick Center, many journalists in the audience leapt to their feet and applauded enthusiastically after being told not to do so. During a two-minute break halfway through the event, which was broadcast live on CNN, journalists ran to the stage to snap photos of Obama. …Obama, who acknowledged […]

Beginning this week, I will be a regular co-blogger here at Right Wing News. My posts will be showing up here throughout the week and when I get quiet, you can check me out at my regular web home, KatieFavazza.com. Let the blogging begin!

One of the things I point out regularly is government intrusion when and where it is unwarranted, unwanted and certainly unneeded. Obviously it is a target rich environment, but one that constantly teaches a valuable lesson about where governments at all levels seemingly end up. Unfortunately it’s the nature of the beast, and it is […]

You know those light poles in England that line the streets? The old iron ones that survived the Luftwaffe and would probably survive a loaded cement truck driving into them, yeah those? Word to the wise: Don’t walk at full speed into them head first. Yeah, I did that on the bonny streets of London […]

No one stands in the way of politically correct totalitarianism — not even the formidable Mr. T, who has been silenced in his attempt to help sell Snickers bars by intolerant homosexuals: An advert featuring the A-team actor Mr T has been pulled after complaints in the US that it is offensive to homosexual men.[… […]

The netroots is, as we speak, happily exploiting the murders committed by Jim Adkisson, the nutjob who walked into a Unitarian church and started blasting away at innocent people enjoying a play. Apparently, the guy was a conservative and was motivated by hatred of liberals. That’s pretty ironic if you think about it. After all, […]

Today, I was reminded of one of the greatest fight scenes of all-time: the corridor brawl from the eccentric revenge flick, “OldBoy.” After finding the battle on YouTube, I thought I’d share since most of you probably haven’t seen it before. Enjoy!

I remember reading about how Saddam and his two insane sons would torture professional soccer players when they lost. Aside from the sheer horror described by the people who endured the abuse, it struck me as supremely stupid to expect players to perform their best when they cowered in fear. Communist leadership in Eastern block […]

Democrats have found the perfect symbol for their convention: a windmill that doesn’t work: The eastern Colorado wind turbine tapped for the Democratic National Convention’s carbon-offset program has one problem: It doesn’t generate any electricity. Convention organizers are now being questioned for their eagerness to market those credits to delegates. The DNC has contracted with […]

The website of the day is BarackBook.    

Much was made of the fact that Nancy Pelosi was the first female Speaker of the House. However, little has been said about the fact that under the “first female Speaker of the House,” the approval rating of Congress has dropped to the lowest level in recorded history. In other words, the first female Speaker […]

I’m considering picking up a cell phone and I want to get a little advice. Here’s my situation: I do need a standard phone line because my local company forces me to get one to have DSL. Moreover, I need a clear line to do interviews and teleconferences over. So, it probably wouldn’t make sense […]

Back in 2004, when the Democrats were running a candidate who had served in Vietnam against George Bush, who had only served in the National Guard, we were endlessly told how important it was to have a President who had actually served in the military — and, no, serving in the National Guard didn’t count […]

My co-blogger Melissa Clouthier and I disagreed about who’s more romantic, men or women. So, we decided to debate the topic on IM and let RWN’s readers vote on it. What follows is an edited transcript of our discussion and at the end, a poll. Dr. Melissa Clouthier: I believe men are more romantic about […]

I always love it when one of my favorite conservative cultural advocates is able to articulate a concept precisely as I feel it but thus far have been unable to logically frame into words. Star Parker has done exactly this in her latest article about Barack Obama’s speech in Berlin. When it seems as though […]

The snooty intellectual elite, as represented by Foreign Policy magazine and its readers, has selected the top 20 intellectuals of our time. Here’s the top 10: 1. Fethullah Gülen 2. Muhammad Yunus 3. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi 4. Orhan Pamuk 5. Aitzaz Ahsan 6. Amr Khaled 7. Abdolkarim Soroush 8. Tariq Ramadan 9. Mahmood Mamdani 10. Shirin […]

Regarding the Obamessiah’s overseas media extravaganza, Britain’s left-wing Guardian remarks: Barack Obama has found his people. But, unfortunately for his election prospects, they’re German, not American. Why not? Germans invented socialism, and have spent two generations wallowing in the sort of ethnic guilt Obama is hoping to ride to the White House. But even among […]

After seeing everyone from Joan Rivers to Madonna manage their aging faces, I have come to the conclusion that facial plastic surgery does not work. Well, if your definition of beautiful is a strangely shiny and taught skin and bizarrely jutting cheekbones, it works. Otherwise, it’s just plain freaky. Madonna was never the most beautiful […]

Name another single type of organization that could get away with this sort of political coercion of its membership: The mighty Service Employees International Union (SEIU) plans to spend some $150 million in this year’s election, most of it to get Barack Obama and other Democrats elected. Where’d they get that much money? That’s a […]

One of the features that was added on RWN in the last redesign was a rating system for posts. I’m writing this post because currently, less than 1% of RWN’s readers are actually rating posts. I’d love to see that number go up for 2 reasons: #1) The number of people who rate articles helps […]

David Petraeus, the general responsible for turning Iraq around with the surge, is putting out the word that a timeline is a bad idea, The top U.S. military commander in Iraq isn’t buying the increasingly popular idea of a publicly stated timetable for American troop withdrawal. Gen. David Petraeus, the Iraq commander, said in an […]

I just got a fundraising call from the McCain campaign. After the lady gave me her pitch, I told her that I would not give him another dime as long as he supported a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants (I would have just said amnesty, but then I would have gotten the, “No, no, […]

The comparisons being made between John Edwards and Larry Craig make little sense. Craig was convicted of solicitation, a crime, if a feeble one. Edward’s only crime is a moral one–if you have morals or believe in a moral code, which the Left does not. “Edwards Love Child, Yawn” is about the reaction. The better […]

A few weeks back, NHK, which is a Japanese public television network, got in touch with me and invited me to participate in a panel on nuclear weapons issues in New York. That panel, which featured 15 Americans and 15 people from Hiroshima, Japan discussing nuclear weapons for a few hours happened last week-end and […]
