Excerpt Of The Day: White Republicans & Independents Will Make Barack The Democratic Nominee?

“Hillary has won white Democrats in all primary elections but two. She won the white Democrat vote in Wisconsin. Therefore, white Democrats hav remained faithful [to Clinton]. When you say that she lost “every demographic category, including whites with only high-school diplomas and whites earning less than $50,000 a year”–you may not realize that she […]

MP3 Player Advice

I’m getting ready to buy an MP3 player. I want something I can use at the gym and to plug into a car stereo (I’m getting ready to buy that too) for long trips. Music wise, I’m not sure I’d need to put more than oh, 500 songs in it? Well, that’s my initial impression, […]

Arm Hair Problems? Really?

Proper Messaging On Illegal Immigration For Republicans Running For Office

Last night, I was talking with a political operative I’m friends with about an illegal immigration ad the op’s candidate is developing. Here’s the advice I gave them: Simply talking about amnesty or border security first doesn’t work because politicians lie so much about illegal immigration. Whether you’re talking about the biggest advocates of amnesty […]

Obama, Farrakhan, & Jeremiah Wright

There has been a lot of angry chatter on the Left side of the blogosphere today about Tim Russert’s badgering of Obama on Louis Farrakhan. Here’s the transcript, MR.

A Conservative Blogger Kills Himself To Make A Statement?

Obama: Unifying People On His Lack Of Patriotism

Yesterday, after being inspired by Ben Smith at the Politico, I created a poll question for RWN’s readers that read, Does Barack Obama show the proper patriotism for someone who wants to be the President of the United States? Early on, roughly 89% to 94% of RWN’s readers were saying, “No,” Obama doesn’t “show the […]

The Peril Of Ignoring The “Funny Hat” Rule

Near the end of his campaign, Fred Thompson got grief for refusing to wear a fireman’s helmet because he had a “funny hat” rule. However, it’s a wise policy — and one that shouldn’t just apply to hats, as you’re about to see. Barack Hussein Obama creates a pic that will forever be included in […]

I Get Emails: Look Out! McCain’s Daughter Is A Muslim!

Sometimes the email I get is so stupid that it’s post-worthy and the one you’re about to read is one such classically moronic missive.

The Thinnest Premise For A News Story Ever (W/Pic)

This story was so unintentionally funny that I just had to post it, The figure in the bark appeared about four months ago. Donna Pascariello poured coffee that October morning and looked through her back window, hoping to see a deer or a fox or maybe a squirrel through the fog. She saw the figure […]

The Amway Experience

Last week, I posted some quotations from Dexter Yager, who is a big wheeler dealer in the business world and in Amway (AKA Quixtar). That prompted a couple of emails asking if I was in the business or not. Actually, back in college, I used to be and for good or ill, it was one […]

Poll: Obama’s Patriotism

Over at the Politico, Ben Smith complains about a poll at CNN that asks about Obama’s patriotism and says, “I’ve got to say, I’ve never seen a reader poll like this on a mainstream media website (or, to be honest, a right-wing blog). This is currently on CNN.com.” Well Ben, now you can say that […]

The Problem With Kosovo’s Independence

Because of the widespread hatred between Kosovo and the Serbs, a lot of people have been supportive of Kosovo declaring independence. I am not one of them.

Misc Commentary For Feb 25, 2008

But as we will see below, that has and will continue to have some unintended consequences that will be […]

McCain, Obama, The Times and A Civilized Election

When John McCain received the typical media treatment that conservatives receive, the conservatives responded with typical conservative outrage, John Hawkins among them. The New York Times may continue to lead the charge to take down the “conservative” candidate, but everyone knows that John McCain is no conservative. The media’s bias shines through. It’s not conservatives […]
