CPAC Update: Doh!

I just realized my camcorder doesn’t have a firewire port. That means no video or pics until Monday. Doh and double doh! PS: It’s sort of depressing to watch sad looking people walking by, absent mindedly holding Mitt Romney signs.

CPAC Update: Mitt Speaking

Mitt is speaking now and I am waiting for the inevitable drop out. I wanted to be in the hall so I could get it on video, but a bunch of bloggers were eating lunch with NumbersUSA and got there a little too late to make it in. Let’s face it, it’ll be kind of […]

The Future of the Republicans

What now for the Republican Party? It’s been in a downward spiral for some time, but it never has seemed to hit rock bottom… at least not enough to try and do any better. Now we can’t even get a conservative elected in a Republican primary; can it get much worse? I guess the Republicans […]

Update From CPAC: 11:43 Wed

So last night, I got together with a bunch of bloggers and grabbed sushi and then headed back to the bar. I don’t drink, but I hung out and talked for 2 hours before heading back to my room to finish my column and prep a Barack Obama video I am going to try to […]

Frank Advice for McCain at CPAC

I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but some conservatives have a problem with John McCain. It’s not just that he goes against conservatives on some big issues, that he seems to act like the only reason we’d disagree with him on those issues is because we’re too stupid to see him for the […]

Iranian Sisters Sentenced To Stoning

Wasn’t it just a short while ago that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and other Iranian leaders were telling us how they respected women, cherished them, and treated them better then Western culture did? Hmmmm…. Two Iranian sisters convicted of adultery face being stoned to death after the supreme court upheld death sentences against […]

Where Was McCain?

A couple of Republican defectors on the stimulus bill, all of which are up for re-election this year (Grassley, for one). Anyway, here’s the scoop: The fate of $600-$1,200 rebate checks for more than 100 million Americans is in limbo after Senate Democrats failed Wednesday to add $44 billion in help for the elderly, disabled […]

And This Is Why It’s Silly To Rely On The Youth Vote

Remember the “Obama Girl”? The girl who was sooo devoted to Obama that she made a video that caught the attention of people everywhere? Yeah, she didn’t vote. Excuse? She was sick. However, she wasn’t too sick to go to a party: On Tuesday night, City Room ran into Ms. Ettinger at an election-watching party […]

What if McCain Chooses Fred Thompson for VP?

I ask the question because it isn’t out of the question. They are good friends with a history. It would be a smart move on the Maverick’s part to stilt up his lacking on conservative credentials. Could Thompson serve as the conservative concience? The ideological gravitas? Even…power behind the throne? How would the conservative base/blogosphere […]

Where Do Conservatives Go From Here?

I’m a pretty fair and open minded person. It is a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing because it allows me to understand, empathize, and deeply consider where different points of view are coming from….even if they are completely opposite of my own. Of course, it is a curse because in many cases […]

Iraqi National Police Force Continues To Expand

I wonder why I can’t find this story in the Credentialed Media? Top Iraqi Police officials and Coalition military police gathered at the Camp Fiji training facility Feb. 2 to witness 493 new Iraqi Police officers graduate and perform a demonstration. “This increase in police force will better the peace for the citizens,” said Capt. […]

CPAC Updates: I Am Now In DC. CPAC May Officially Begin

I’m sure you’ve heard that DC is the murder capitol of the United States and after driving here, I know why because I am ready to kill the people from Mapquest, the people who designed the roads here, and one service station owner. After making great time all the way here, I got lost about […]

Top Ten Reasons to be optimistic about McCain as the GOP nominee

First it was Rush Limbaugh: I can see possibly not supporting the Republican nominee this election, and I never thought that I would say that in my life. Then it was Ann Coulter: If McCain is the nominee, I will campaign for Hillary Clinton. And now James Dobson: I cannot, and I will not vote […]

Lastest on Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant

WTW: Dumbest Editorial In Years?

Morning, y’all, Jebediah Murphy here with a bit of that truthiness from good ole flyover country. And, ya know, I reckon that it is time to buy some of them ice skates from WalMart for cruising around Hell, as I actually almost agree with a DUmmy! Seems there is whopper of a nutty editorial at […]

CPAC Schedule For RWN

Tomorrow, I’m going to be on the road to CPAC and probably won’t be able to update RWN or CG. On Thursday and Friday, I will probably be able to do a few updates, but not anywhere near as many as usual. So, with that in mind, here are the guest bloggers who will be […]

An Interview With Thomas Sowell About Economic Facts and Fallacies

On Friday of last week, I conducted a phone interview with Thomas Sowell about his new book, Economic Facts and Fallacies (Incidentally, I’ve just finished the book and as per usual with Sowell’s work, it’s very good). What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. We’ve frequently heard, and will hear much more […]

The Fake Tears Of A Witch? Shame On You For Thinking Such A Thing!

What a “shocking” surprise; Hillary Clinton, who was accused of crying crocodile tears in the run-up to New Hampshire, has cried again, “coincidentally,” right before Super Tuesday. Many cynical people, like those of you reading this post, will probably claim that this is a political ploy, but come on, folks — do you REALLY think […]

Thought Of The Day: The Liberal View Of Change And Diversity

Have you ever noticed how similar the liberal views of change and diversity are? The liberal view of “diversity” is a black guy, a white guy, and a woman all espousing the same ultra-liberal ideas as they run for the Presidency. On the other hand, the liberal view of “change” is a young, black guy […]

CPAC

Tomorow, very, very early in the morning, I’m going to be hitting the road and heading to CPAC. Although I will be doing updates for RWN and CG from CPAC on Thursday and Friday, they will probably be less frequent than normal and largely centered around CPAC. So, I will have a crew of guest […]

On Super Tuesday And Its Aftermath

A blogger over at Redstate did a fairly detailed analysis of how many delegates each candidate is likely to come out of Super Tuesday with. I haven’t double checked all of his figures, so I can’t vouch for what he has said down the line, but it sounds reasonably in line with other estimates I’ve […]

Excerpt Of The Day: What Would We Be Saying If The McCain Shoe Was On The Democrats’ Foot?

“Flip it all around. Say the Democrat frontrunner was Lieberman (just as an example). Say the Democrat “base” was very vocally and enthusiastically asserting that he is too conservative, more conservative even than the most conservative Republicans. The Democrats are saying that because Lieberman is such a conservative, which would be very very bad for […]

Explaining How McCain Ended Up On Top.

One of the biggest questions people have today is how in the heck a man as unpopular as John McCain is with conservatives ended up as the heavy favorite to win the GOP nomination right before Super Tuesday. People have all sorts of wide-ranging theories, but in truth, McCain’s rise is just proof of the […]
