At this point, there is no word on whether Les Kinsolving, the WorldNetDaily representative asking Tony Snow about Jerome Corsi’s ludicrous conspiracy theory, was wearing a tinfoil hat when this exchange occurred: Presidential press secretary Tony Snow yesterday emphatically stated that there would be no “EU in the U.S.” when asked about administration efforts to […]

Here are what appear to be, at least at this early stage, the key Senate races to watch for 2006: Connecticut: Incumbent Joe Lieberman (D) Vs. Ned Lamont (D) Vs. Alan Schlesinger (D) The number one priority of the Democratic “netroots” right now seems to be beating Joe Lieberman. All that attention seems to have […]

Have you heard the latest line from the supporters of the pro-amnesty bill in the Senate? It’s that the House should buckle and support amnesty because it’s so incredibly, wildly popular among Republicans. Why, they just love it! There are several examples I could use, but this quote from the The Wall Street Journal does […]

Apparently, the terrorists in Lebanon are jealous of the massive beating that Israel has been delivering on a daily basis to the Palestinians and so Hizbullah has decided to get in on the “fun” by kidnapping 2 Israeli soldiers. Not so smart. Here’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s reaction to the kidnapping: “Prime Minister Ehud Olmert […]

The Republican Party wins elections by coming up with good ideas and convincing people they’re the right way to go and the Democrats win by handing out swag and pandering.

There were two quotes that really stood out in an article about Karl Rove’s visit to the National Council of La Raza’s annual conference: “In a lunchtime talk at the National Council of La Raza’s annual conference, the Republican advisor outlined Bush’s plan for stronger border security, workplace enforcement, a guest worker program and earned […]

Good catch of some brutal honesty by a DU poster, who presumably isn’t a Republican troll, because no one accuses him of being such. After some posts along the lines of “that’s not fair” and “of course we want these butchers caught,” etc., someone does in fact rise to the challenge: IT IS HIS FAULT […]

Via Hotline on Call, these quotes from John McCain in Esquire explain why he’ll never be the GOP’s nominee in 2008: “I understand the frustrations a lot of Republicans feel. We’re not representing their hopes and dreams and aspirations. We worry about Ms. Schiavo before we worry about balancing the budget. We’re going to take […]

As you regular readers of RWN will recall, last week, I introduced you to the The Greatest Post Ever In The History Of The Democratic Underground, in which someone called spooked911 conclusively proved that George Bush knocked down the Twin Towers using only a rabbit cage, a cinder block, and some burning kerosene. Well, thanks […]

The details are still coming in, but terrorists have struck in Bombay, India: “Seven explosions hit Bombay’s commuter rail network during rush hour Tuesday evening, killing as many as 100 people, the city’s police chief said. Chaos engulfed the crowded rail network in India’s financial capital following the blasts that ripped apart train compartments. Doors […]

Via Michelle Malkin, I see that Cindy Sheehan’s hunger fast seems to be going swimmingly: “I find traveling out of the country very challenging being on a fast. When I was on a layover in Madrid on my way to Venice, Italy yesterday, the closest thing I could find to a smoothie to get a […]

Ralph Peters answers the question posed in the title of this post with a resounding, “Yes, it is!” “Violent Islamist extremists must be killed on the battlefield. Only in the rarest cases should they be taken prisoner. Few have serious intelligence value. And, once captured, there’s no way to dispose of them. …The oft-cited, seldom-read […]

Conservatives have touted the growth-stimulating benefits of marginal tax rate cuts (as opposed to ineffective “targeted” credits and refunds) for decades. Every 20 years, U.S. presidents have expounded on those benefits and enacted tax policies that have resulted in bountiful economic growth, from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush. Well, lo […]

This is not exactly the sort of thing that buffs up your confidence in homeland security: “The report states that a man with a Middle Eastern name and a ticket for a Delta Airlines flight to Atlanta shook his head when screeners asked if he had a laptop computer in his baggage, but an X-ray […]

Over at the Daily Kos, there’s an article called Nazi America by a diarist called Ultra Liberal. Here’s a sentence at the start that will give you an idea of what Ultra Liberal’s article is like without forcing you to wade through his entire, nauseating post: “And if you, like me, will take a close […]

“It’s quite reasonable to conclude that Bush will harm the nation more — if not more than Bin Laden would like to, than more than he actually can.” —

In general, it’s hard to feel any sympathy for people who “never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity,” like the Palestinians, but when you see poll numbers like these, any pity you do have for them just evaporates: “The Jerusalem Media and Communications Centre surveyed a random sample of 2,000 people in the Gaza […]
