Update: Chimps Still Not People In Austria

Back in May, I wrote about a bunch of animal rights wackos in Austria who were “trying to get a chimp declared to be a human being in Austrian courts.” Well, after another Austrian court has blown them off, they’re planning to take their monkey’s case to the Supreme Court, He’s now got a human […]

Phony Soldiers? A Phony Story Is More Like It.

Have you heard about the latest “controversy” involving Rush Limbaugh that has been made up from scratch by Media Matters and relentlessly promoted by the left side of the blogosphere? Well, no worries, I’ll tell you all about it. Here’s what Media Matters is claiming Rush Limbaugh said, Limbaugh: Service members who support U.S. withdrawal […]

RWN Mention In The Latest Lorie Byrd Column

Reviewing The Last 10 Videos I Rented

Since it’s Friday, it’s a little more casual, and I thought I’d do something a little out of the ordinary. So, here are the last 10 movies I’ve rented from Netflix, in reverse order, and, along with a very short review of each… Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2007): I liked the more playful, older Teenage […]

Bush-Aznar Pre-Iraq War Conversation Exonerates Bush, Contrary To The Claims Of The Usual Suspects By Sister Toldjah

The leftosphere is erupting in predictable outrage after the publishing of a transcript of a conversation between the President and then-Prime Minister of Spain José María Aznar, a conversation which took place about a month before the war in Iraq began. Spain’s El País daily newspaper published it, and the Editor and Publisher has a […]

Who Would Hillary’s Vice President Be?

If Hillary were to get the Democratic nomination — and that’s still a big “if” at this point — who would her vice-presidential nominee be? Here are some thoughts on some of the choices she may take a look at: Bill Clinton: There was some talk early on about whether Bill could run as Hill’s […]

Katie Couric: The 15 Million Dollar Whine Machine

Katie Couric explained her mediocre performance at CBS with this quip, On Americans’ reactions to a woman anchoring the evening news: “I think there probably remains an underlying discomfort in this country with women in power.” This is obviously sour grapes because, #1) If Katie had really believed this beforehand, she would have turned down […]

Immigration Good News By Polipundit

Two bits of good news on immigration. The NIGHTMARE Act is out of the picture for now. But, like all immigration amnesties, it’s not really dead, it’s just resting: The prospects for immediate Senate action on the DREAM Act, which would grant legal status to hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants, disappeared Wednesday amid […]

Top Ten Pieces Of Advice From W To Hillary — Satire By Harvey

Rumor has it that President Bush has been quietly giving advice to Hillary about not making stupid promises regarding Iraq that she’ll regret if she gets elected. I’m sure the advice also encompasses other topics, and I’ll speculate thusly about what he might have said: 10) “Choose a running mate that’s in favor of gun […]

Is Oprah Pro-Open Marriage?

Since I’m not a regular viewer of Oprah (scratch that, I’m not ever a viewer of Oprah), I was unaware that her show yesterday put a positive spin on open marriages. Here’s Family Fragments recounting the story, Next, Oprah trots out the best of the breed Greg and Hollie, married with two children enjoying all […]

The Daily Kos Is Overwhelmingly Pro-Military Draft

In 2004, various Democrats kept suggesting a draft while the Republicans kept saying over and over again that they opposed it. Then, as the election drew closer, the Democrats used their own calls for a draft as evidence that if George Bush won, he would implement a draft — and that undoubtedly helped spike the […]

When America Went Fascist

Over at the Smirking Chimp, there’s a fascinating window into the mind of the average liberal — and, no, that’s not hyperbole — called “When America Went Fascist” by Chris Rowthorn. Now, I know a lot of you are rolling your eyes already because what could be more common than an America liberal calling America […]

The Unintentionally Hillarious Democratic Underground Post Of The Day

Now this is an eye catching headline, taterguy: Soccer is the most warlike, environmentally destructive sport around The “sport” originated when a conquering army starting kicking around the head of a decapitated enemy.

Higher Education Keeps Sinking Lower By Matt Sanchez

As soon as I heard Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was going to be in New York, I knew it would be just a matter of time, before the Terror of Tehran took a trip uptown to Morningside Heights so he could visit an eager crowd of intellectuals at Columbia University. The campus is no stranger to big […]

The Democratic Underground Post Of The Day: America Is A Terrorist Nation

Over at the Democratic Underground, someone called “Zandor” wrote a sensible post called, “Can We Stop Calling America a Terrorist Nation?” Here’s a little sample, “I’ve seen this numerous times in my relatively short stay. This rhetoric is disturbing and completely outside accepted political discourse in either party. No Democratic party candidate for President would […]

Notes On The State On The 2008 Republican Race

* Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney seem to have roughly the same amount of name recognition, but Fred has much, much, better polling numbers nationally and in just about any state where Mitt isn’t spending a lot of money. For Thompson, this is good news, because he is practically even with Rudy and he has […]

Cindy Sheehan’s “Celebrity” Endorsements

Even though I helped Cindy Sheehan out with a couple of campaign videos… …I have to admit I was a little worried that Nancy Pelosi would still run over her like a ten ton truck. But, with endorsements like these, that congressional seat is almost as good as Cindy’s… Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is making […]

The Daily Kos Post Of The Day: David Petraeus Is Chickensh*t And America “Is Devolving Into A Bad Replay Of Nazi Germany.”

This mixture of oddball paranoia, delusion, and over-the-top hostility towards David Petraeus was cribbed from a writer, not a commenter, at the Daily Kos called Archangel M. His post is called, “Why we’re existing in a police state.” When *ss-kissing chickensh*t David Petraeus lied his *ss off before Congress about the failed “surge”, capitol hill […]

The Madeleine McCann Case

I don’t generally pay any attention at all to the “kidnapping of the day” case that the cable news networks have latched onto. That’s just because they all feel so frivolous to me. There are kidnappings and murders all across the country, every day, so what makes the one involving the “pretty people” that the […]

White Supremacist Trash & The Jena Six

I do think that the Jena six belong in jail cells for assaulting someone from behind, knocking him unconscious, and then stomping him until they were pulled away. But they, and their families, don’t deserve this, The FBI is reviewing a white supremacist Web site that purports to list the addresses of five of the […]
