Longtime readers know of my germ phobic nature. I’m not totally anal, but after having a kid spend four months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, public germs freak me out. That’s in contrast to private germs–the germs in our homes, our beds, bathrooms and kitchens–that our bodies have acclimated to and are used to […]

I have happily planted booming kicks into Ted Kennedy’s ribs 100 times, but I was still genuinely sorry to hear that he has brain cancer. That’s a tough diagnosis for anyone to have to deal with and even though Ted Kennedy and I will never see eye to eye on the issues, I wish him, […]

Thaddeus McCotter is a member of the GOP Leadership in the House and one of the sharper guys up there. His office forwarded over an internal memo about the election today that I liked enough to share. Memo To: Honorable U.S. House Republicans From: Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, Republican House Policy Chair Date: May 19, 2008 […]

Hello! That’s because Macs are better. (Shhhhh! Don’t tell John!) UPDATE: I was saying….. Cross-posted at Dr. Melissa Clouthier.

Hey, I could be a headline writer for The New York Times. I’m just that good. Well, what do you know? Women are free. Finally, after years of oppression, women are making their choices, even really smart, scientifically gifted women, and choosing what researchers think they shouldn’t like: “soft sciences”. Oh, and some women are […]

It was bound to happen. The Boomers got old. Please note. I didn’t say that they grew up. Now that, I don’t think will ever happen. The Boomers got old and they’re taking over some places. For example, when I visited Upstate New York this last December, we visited friends who live near Elmira and […]

On Friday of last week, I got a great question that I just didn’t quite have time to get around to answering. Here it is, Mr. Hawkins, Have you seen Iron Man yet? If not, I highly recommend doing so; its awesome. Anyway, my question: What are your top ten (in order) favorite superhero movies? […]

Yesterday, I did my best to help out the Obama campaign by suggesting a wonderful new bumper sticker. Today, because I am still in a generous — dare I say it, bipartisan — mood, I have decided to create a few more bumper stickers for O-Bo-Bo. PS: Suggest some of your favorite ideas and if […]

Over at Hollywood Tuna, one of the gossip blogs I regularly read for Conservative Grapevine each day, they had a new Britney Spears bikini spread up (here’s a representative pic)… Now, here’s an excerpt from the commentary that went up with the spread, Here’s Britney Spears showing off her beach body in a bikini in […]

From the Washington Times, “Osama bin Laden must be chuckling in his safe house,” wrote Shireen Burki in the Christian Science Monitor yesterday. “The 2008 campaign could very well give Al Qaeda the ultimate propaganda tool: President Barack Hussein Obama, Muslim apostate. The fact that Sen. Obama — son of a Muslim father — insists […]

It’s pretty universally well known that the Republicans are in huge trouble as they’ve lost a number of special elections that I don’t know much about but all the smart people say are very important. At least I know I don’t care much more Republicans anymore; they lately just seem like a less mincing version […]

Move over Legolas, there is another, fairer creature in these sun dappled woods and his name be Prince Caspian (actor Ben Barnes). Yesterday, I went to watch the next installment of Chronicles of Narnia. Good triumphs, evil staggers, and a war decides it. There is faith, hope, death and hubris, but those lessons were all […]

I don’t want to do it. I just don’t. But I feel compelled, based on Rachel Lucas‘ provoking prose to do it. Blast that woman and her infernal commitment to casting a spot light on popular culture. So, last week the dumbasses that rule California decided against the people and for the few, the out, […]

While the good people of Oregon worshiped adoringly and the press facilitated the faux-outrage over President Bush’s scorn for appeasement, the meat of the President’s impressive speech was lost. Here’s my favorite line: Ultimately, to prevail in this struggle, we must offer an alternative to the ideology of the extremists by extending our vision of […]

I never say “howdy y’all” in real life. Just thought you should know that. I’m a Michigan girl transplanted to Texas. “Howdy ya’ll” is fun to hear from a Texan, not so fun from a mid-westerner, but it is fun to write. So howdy y’all. I’ll be blogging here and participating in Hawkins’ grand experiment. […]

In honor of Tom Harkin’s latest moronic comments about John McCain not being a good candidate for President because he spent too much time in the military, I present to you, “Liberals Vs. The Troops In Quotes.” Enjoy the Left-Wing version of “supporting the troops!” “…This NBC report is just an ugly reminder of the […]

As RWN’s regular readers are well aware, Right Wing News now has a regular crew of guest bloggers posting on the week-ends. Well, I’ve been pleased with how that has turned out and partially as a result of that, I’ve decided to bring on some regular guest bloggers for RWN M-F. By bringing on these […]

Hat tip for the idea to Jaz McKay.

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said. “That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.” — Barack Obama Let’s see what changes we’ll […]

This seems like a rather common-sensical point from W. doesn’t it? “Those who are screaming the loudest for increased production from Saudi Arabia are the very same people who are fighting the fiercest against domestic exploration, against the development of nuclear power and against expanding refining capacity.” The honest truth is that the global warming […]

Jaz McKay sent me such a great email about the type of guns that newbie shooters should use that I asked him to allow me to post it on RWN. After retooling the email just a bit, Jaz gave me the go-ahead. Enjoy! Recently John was writing about handguns for first timers. As an official, […]

Steve Boriss on the Associated Press: Marshall Field III, grandson of the founder of the department store of the same name, also challenged the AP monopoly with mixed results. He tried to launch the Chicago Sun in 1941, but struggled because AP member Chicago Tribune blocked his membership, freezing him out of the ultra low-cost […]

If you don’t believe there is a media bias, then you must live without electricity and printed paper. Even Men’s Fitness joins the media Obasm. I’m laughing as I write this. The press swoons like Elvis fans from the 50s. What a bunch of little girls. Is it Hannah Montana? No, it’s Barack Obama! Touch […]

A little reminder: “A Veteran – whether active duty, retired, National Guard, or Reservist….is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a check payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life”. – Author Unknown ________ Cross-posted at QandO.

The LA Times is going all out in spinning away Barack NMN Obama’s idea to have himself directly talk with leaders of countries that hate us In a speech to the Israeli parliament Thursday, President Bush took a swipe at Barack Obama for his willingness to negotiate with evil regimes. “Some seem to believe that […]
