Ted Stevens Should Resign

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, […]

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!

Can You Imagine Government in Total Control of Your Health Care?

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 […]

Captain Future’s Plan For A Better Tomorrow

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 […]

Mr. T Learns That Making Fun of Sissies Is Not Allowed

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.[… […]

Exploiting A Tragedy To Attack Conservatives At The HuffPo

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, […]

China Demonstrates Why Dictatorial Regimes Always Lose

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 […]

Perfect Symbol Found for Dem Convention

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 […]

Thought Of The Day: Nancy Pelosi, Setting Women Back 20 Years

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 […]

Cell Phone Advice

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 […]

A Debate: Who’s More Romantic? Men Or Women?

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 […]

Poll: Who Should McCain Select As His VP?

Here’s the group of potential VP selections that are being most talked about as potentially being on John McCain’s short list. Which of them would you like to see him select? Who should McCain select as his VP? Charlie Crist Mike Huckabee Bobby Jindal Joe Lieberman Sarah Palin Tim Pawlenty Rob Portman Mitt Romney John […]

Obama’s Fundamental Contradiction on Freedom and Patriotism

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 […]

Foreign Policy Magazine’s Top 20 Intellectuals

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 […]

Even Germans Raising Eyebrows over Obama

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 […]

Facial Plastic Surgery Is A Slippery Slope…..Literally

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 […]

If You Think It Is Bad Now, Give the Dems Total Control

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 […]

Introducing The Star System + A Forum Promo

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 […]

A Fundraising Call From The John McCain Campaign

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, […]

A Week-End In New York

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 […]
