What is “Too Patriotic” Supposed To Be?: I just don’t get the attitude that people like Johnny Carson have.

Who Says the Israelis Didn’t Accomplish Anything?: Some people have claimed that the Israelis didn’t accomplish anything with their incursion into the occupied territories.

The Leadership of the Catholic Church Just Doesn’t Get It: I have trouble fathoming why the leadership of Catholic church seems so incredibly reluctant to crack down on the child molesters who’ve infested their ranks. I mean look at the latest claptrap coming from the Vatican… “The final document said church leaders would recommend a […]

Talk About A Lack Of Ideas: The Democrats are actually trying to steal the Republican’s “Securing America’s Future” slogan. I said this week in my “Ethereal Democrat” article that the Dems don’t stand for anything and this proves it.

I Want An Electric Car Right Now!: Liberals always try to portray Conservatives as being against electric and hydrogen based cars. Of course that isn’t true.

An Iraqi Joke: I ran across this joke on Fark… President Bush and Colin Powell are sitting in a bar. A guy walks in and asks the barman, “Isn’t that Bush and Powell sitting over there?” The barman says, “Yep, that’s them.” So the guy walks over and says, “Wow, this is a real honor. […]

Rwn is Farked =): Fark linked my “Ethereal Donkey” article and they’re pouring traffic into RWN like Niagara Falls. There were about a 100 comments on the article when I took a look at Fark, some of them were anti-Republican, some of them were pro-Republican, about what you’d expect. You know what the most interesting […]

The Ethereal Donkey: It’s tough to be a Democrat these days. President Bush has stratospheric approval ratings, the country seems to have tilted rightward after 9/11, and the Democrats seem compelled to defend their patriotism every time they nervously issue the mildest criticism of George Bush’s foreign policy. While those are significant obstacles to Democratic […]

Europe in Shock as America Yawns: France and the rest of Europe seems to be going into a tizzy over Jean-Marie Le Pen’s electoral success in France. Well, maybe it’s just me, but what is the big deal supposed to be? He only got 17% of the French vote and everyone thinks he’ll be beaten […]

Now I’ve Heard Everything: This article just blows my mind… “Mexico has denounced an ongoing U.S. initiative to bolster airport security, saying all it has done is round up hard-working, harmless undocumented immigrants.” Uh, what? “Beltrán (Mexican consul in Phoenix) said he failed to see how locking up illegal immigrants leads to increased security, noting […]

What the Hell is Going On in Cincinnati?: Remind me never to move to Cincinnati.

Slavery on the Ivory Coast?!?: I knew that there was still slavery in Sudan and in the tribal areas of Pakistan among other places but I was unaware there was still slavery on the Ivory Coast. If you eat a Snickers bar, Hershey bar, or Chunky bar today keep in mind that a slave may […]

Breaking the Cycle of Violence in the Middle East: It’s been often noted that there’s a “cycle of violence” in the Middle East.
