A recent Rassmussen poll shows that nearly half of all those surveyed think that the media is in the tank for Obama. Proving that the other half haven’t been paying attention, The New York Times has refused to print an op-ed by Sen. McCain responding to Obama’s Iraq piece.. The Times refused to print the […]

The New York Times does have one redeeming quality: its open-minded editorial page. Just last year it ran an editorial by a representative of the Islamic terror group Hamas. As its Public Editor Clark Hoyt explained: Op-ed pages are for debate, but if you get only one side, that’s not debate. And that’s not healthy. […]

A new friend wrote a post in response to Maureen Dowd’s man-discomfort phase (glad she seems to be finally out of it) a couple years ago, but it seems so prescient even now. He said: The idea that men want women who are not intellectually challenging, or smart, or funny, or witty, or exciting, or […]

Which election year most resembles this election? It depends on who you choose to believe. Michael Barone, who, for the most part, I consider one of the more astute political observers, thinks this is pretty darn close to what happened in 1976: Looking back over the last 40 years, the presidential campaign that most closely […]

As regular readers of RWN know, I spent this week-end in Austin, Texas at the Defending The American Dream Summit AKA the RightOnline Summit. I’ve already done a few posts about what was happening at the Summit (which I’ll link at the end of this post), but I wanted to do one more big blow-off […]

When I heard that the U.S. reversed course and had decided to “come to the table” with Iran, I thought, uh oh, this is the last effort before Iran’s nuclear sites get bombed after the Presidential election. If nothing else, the State Department can shrug their shoulders and say, “We tried”, which is essentially what’s […]

Here’s an email I received this morning from one Ayman Abdalla, that was so great, that I just had to share it with you, “listen you biatch you guys are a.s.s. holes why da fouk do you make muslims out to be extremists and murderers? Please consider the environment – do you really need to […]

One of the biggest problems we have in this country is that people think the government needs to be involved in every little thing. For example, Be careful if you have saggy pants in the south Chicago suburb of Lynwood. Village leaders have passed an ordinance that would levy $25 fines against anyone showing three […]

More humor from NPR, which recently asked us to weep for obese welfare queens who have had to cut down on ice cream: Robert Redford has been fighting on behalf of the environment for more than 30 years. From producing documentary films about solar power to lobbying Congress, his work has been both in the […]

First he said he’d visited 57 states. Now he’s talking about conducting diplomacy for 8-10 years as Jake Tapper notes. Today on CBS’s Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Afghanistan, told the paparazzi-pursued correspondent Lara Logan that “the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or […]

Yes, fellow citizens, that well-regarded institution, Congress, is trying to see if they can further add to your woes while trying to do a little “revenue raising“: [Rep. James] Oberstar, D-Minn., said his committee [House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee] is working on the next long-term highway bill. He estimated it will take between $450 billion […]

Paul Alan Levy sends this along: The latest abuse of trademark law to suppress discussion of topics of substantial public interest comes from not from a company, like most of the trademark abuses previously discussed on this blog, such as here and here, but from the Republican National Committee, which has threatened to sue CafePress.com […]

Wolf Howling makes a thorough argument that socialism, not “mere” liberalism, is at the root at the disintegration of law and order in Britain, which you have to read in full to appreciate. The conclusion: This is all a case study in why the philosophy of Karl Marx should have been interred with his bones. […]

As expected, the mediots are doing their duty in faithfully reporting on Obama’s first overseas trip since becoming the Dem nominee for president by portraying him as a near-rock star in Afghanistan. Newsbusters has a couple of reports on the mainstream media’s fawing weekend coverage of Obama’s trip: Day 1 of Obama’s Magical Media Tour: […]

Did you catch the headline? “Tax Rate for New Yorkers Would Top 50% Under Obama“ Under Obama’s proposals, the highest marginal tax rate for citizens of high income-tax states like New York will be close to a punitive 60% – and that’s before you consider sales tax, property tax, gas tax, and other taxes. New […]

I was intrigued by this article in The Atlantic that discussed the housing bubble, and in a sort of Malcolm Gladwell-esque way, suggested that economic “bubbles” might be treated like viruses, and prevented in analogous ways to how we work to contain the spread of diseases. I was of two minds about the premise: on […]

The ACLU sounded the alarm that our terrorist watch list has reached one million names! This is a huge exaggeration that I rip apart with facts in my Pajama’s Media article. Here is a sample: I have given the ACLU credit on this issue; now I will give reasons to be skeptical. The claim that […]

Alas, if great prose was enough to destroy Canada’s corrupt “Human Rights” Commissions (coming soon to a country near you…), we’d have won the fight long ago. Here’s the Newfie Rhodes Scholar, Rex Murphy, slagging the latest outrageous case in his own inimitable way: Incidentally, what are the human-rights protocols governing stand-up comedians in their […]

I caught Bob Novak’s speech at CPAC and was wondering if he would do a very similar speech for this event. As it turns out, he didn’t. He also did a great speech and was extremely well received for anyone considering booking him for a speech. Here are a few nuggets he fed to us […]

(Don’t worry. There are no spoilers in this review.) I sat down scared that I had hyped this movie too much, that there was no way that it could be as good as I thought it was going to be. I was right. It was better. The movie takes place after Batman has been operating […]

There’s good and bad that came out of John Heilemann’s column in this week’s issue of New York magazine. Before you can assess Heilemann’s argument with any sense of logic, you have to get past how crassly he makes his case. Heilemann calls McCain’s past and present campaigns (arguably, rightfully so) “spastic-goat rodeos.” He refers […]

So, poor Bob Novak walks down to the reception and of course, at an event like this, he can get 2 seconds of peace and as he’s trying to get away, I grab him, remind him that I interviewed him once, and ask for a pic. He looks slightly pained, but generously agrees to take […]

Check out the picture accompanying a tear-jerking NPR piece that weeps for Americans who are cutting down on food because they can’t afford it due to the horrible economy: Shapely figures courtesy of food stamps. Public media: your tax dollar at work. Socialism can’t even produce socialist propaganda as competently as the free market. On […]

We live in two different worlds, folks. Blacks folks live in one world and white folks live in the other. That’s not my perspective. Take Whoopi Goldberg’s word for it: Joy Behar thinks that when they called for a boycott of the N-bomb, they were calling for a boycott of its public use. Saying it […]

Establishment comedians are afraid to poke even light-hearted fun at Obama, because they don’t want to threaten his chances of election or be denounced as racists. Some have even subjected themselves to ridicule by claiming that the Obamessiah is too flawless to make fun of. However, being perfect, Obama can withstand a few laughs. The […]

Keepin’ those Alaskan pipelines full, while protecting the environment. That’s a win-win. Aside from the prospect of expanding domestic oil supplies, the new production would help alleviate worries about the viability of the Alaska pipeline system. The pipeline is transporting 700,000 barrels of oil daily, down from 2.1 million when the Prudhoe Bay fields were […]
