The Downing Street Memo & The Tin Foil Hatter’s Tea Party

The Democrats haven’t just gone “round the bend,” they’ve gone round the bend, down the street, and off to fairy land, where the moonbats dance and play in the dappled moonlight and everyone capers around in their pretty tinfoil hats. It starts with the Democratic equivalent of a little girl’s tea party with her imaginary […]

A List Of Some Of The Most Embarrassing Quotes To The MSM

It’s no secret that the public’s confidence in the mainstream media has been steadily dropping over the past few years. Just to give you an idea of how bad it has gotten, according to a Gallup Poll in May, only 28% of the general public had either “A Great Deal” or “Quite A Lot” of […]

A Robber Vs. 20 Angry Women Armed With Curling Irons & Chairs

I love this story, I love this story, I love this story! “An armed robber brandishing a revolver and some tough talk entered Blalock’s Beauty College demanding money Tuesday afternoon. He left crying, bleeding and under arrest, after Dianne Mitchell, her students and employees attacked the suspect, beating him into submission. Mitchell tripped the robber […]

What I’m Watching On The Tube These Days

One the most fascinating things about TiVo is the way that it allows you to absolutely consume a TV series. Take a 30 minute show that runs 4 or 5 seasons for instance. TiVo records multiple versions of each show, each day and if you regularly watch the show, you can easily go through the […]

Quote Of The Day: From An Army Officer In Iraq

“I thought about it before I got over here, and feel even stronger about it now that it may be my reality. God forbid, if something happens to me over here, I do not want to be used by the likes of Phil Hansen in Seattle, Michael Moore, Gary Trudeau, or Ted Koppel, to make […]

A Bite Sized Candidate Review For 2008

Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney looks likely to throw his hat in the ring in 2008 and over at Betsy’s Page, Betsy is speculating that the media would try to undercut Romney by trying to make the public uncomfortable with the idea of a Mormon President. The idea of having a Mormon candidate in 2008 doesn’t […]

The Democrats’ Long, Steady Slide In The Senate

Now, this is a cheery little graphic — well, if you’re a Republican. If you’re a Democrat, it’s pretty scary: A few quick thoughts inspired by this graph… #1) The Democratic decline in the Senate is not a fluke. It has been a long, slow, steady slide that started during the Vietnam years, was masked […]

Excerpt Of The Day: Aspiring Jihadists & Gitmo

“Let’s also pause to ponder the image of the middle-of-the-road, “centrist” jihadist who could be “recruited” to jihad by reports about abuse at Guantanamo. You know – the kind of guy who just watches al-Jazeera for the sports and hits the “mute” button whenever they start in about the Jews again, already. Liberals want us […]

Dick Durbin’s Comments Were A Disgrace

It’s bad enough that the Democratic Party has been nothing but a hindrance in the fight against terrorism, but their ridiculous hand wringing, over-the-top rhetoric, and seemingly endless concern for the well being of members of Al-Qaeda are actually starting to get more than a bit disturbing. Just look at this mind-blowing quote from Democratic […]

More Liberals Behaving Badly: This Time At A College Graduation

The sort of mentality displayed by the commenters at the Democratic Underground in the post directly below this one, was on display at Santa Monica College yesterday when they were lucky enough to have Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger come up and give the commencement address. Unfortunately, as is becoming all too common, a bunch of liberals […]

Excerpt Of The Day: The Foolishness Of Closing Gitmo

“Senator Joe Biden said that while we should close Gitmo and release the occupants, we should also “keep those we have reason to keep.” Huh? This is the logical equivalent of Solomon saying, “Hey, let’s cut the baby in half after all.” Imagine if, instead of Gitmo, the issue was the death penalty. “The death […]

Embarrassing Quotes From The Mainstream Media

I’m putting together a list of embarrassing quotes made by members of the MSM over the last few years. I’m looking for quotes made that show bias, incompetence, and that justify the public’s deep distrust of the mainstream media. This includes quotes made by news anchors, reporters, media execs, editors, etc, etc, etc. Editorial columnists […]

Quote Of The Day: Bush Tells It Like It Is

“If leaders of the other party have innovative ideas, let’s hear them. But if they have no ideas or policies except obstruction, they should step aside and let others lead.” — George W. Bush It’s nice to see the big guy fire off a salvo at the Dems once in a while, especially when it’s […]

Of Course We Should Raise The Age Limit For Social Security

Usually, I don’t bother to write about Social Security because I think Bush should have given up on it long ago. Chances are, nothing is going to get passed and given the character of the Bush administration and the Republican Senate on domestic issues, even if something is done, it’ll probably be little more than […]

Diet Soda, Ice Cream, Rape & The Press

A story that has been getting a lot of play today is titled “Diet sodas linked to obesity.” Here’s the crux of the piece: “Just when you thought the news about losing weight couldn’t get any worse, try this: A review of 26 years of patient data found that people who drink diet soft drinks […]

Open Thread

It’s kind of late, I’m exhausted, and that top 100 Americans list right below this post is pretty spiffy. So, no morning content today. The next update should be around noon. *** Update #1 ***: Since I’ve updated now, consider this an open thread.

The 100 Greatest Americans Of All-Time According To RWN

After putting together a list of the 40 greatest Americans of all-time last Friday in response to the awful list of the 100 greatest Americans compiled by readers at the The Discovery Channel, I felt compelled to finish the job. So, I put together a 100 greatest Americans list for RWN. You’ll notice that it’s […]

Should Republicans Really Be Taking Advice From Eleanor Clift?

Democratic flack Eleanor Clift offers some “helpful” advice to Republicans (Shouldn’t we be the ones giving them advice since they keep losing elections?): “Conservatives will have to decide who they hate more in 2008, Hillary Clinton or John McCain. That’s how a veteran of the Reagan White House sizes up the current field. The religious […]

It’s A Good Economy, Stupid! By Matt Margolis

A recent survey by the Pew Research Center indicates that only a third of Americans believe the economy is in good shape. How is this possible? The deficit is shrinking. We’ve seen 24 straight months of economic growth and the unemployment rate is down to 5.1%. The trade deficit is down. Housing starts are up. […]

Quote Of The Day: Howard Dean’s Real Problem

Lefty Howard Fineman explains the real problem with Howard Dean’s (the Republicans are) “pretty much a white, Christian party” comments — if the Republicans are the party for Christians, what does that make the Democrats? “But Dean’s real problem may not be his mouth but his mind-set. He and his aides seemed genuinely mystified at […]
