I’m a bit under-the-weather and I won’t be posting any updates today. However, I will be back tomorrow at the same bat time, same bat place. See you then!

New Video Courtesy of Ben Howe: ‘Failure of Leadership’
11 Aug 2011 12:44 am Susannah Fleetwood

My third grade teacher, Sister Therese, used to always say, “Be careful what you pray for–you just might get it”. Well, Barack Obama obviously prayed, wished, and worked extremely hard for the glory of being president. However, as my friend Ben Howe demonstrates in his brilliant new video, Obama forgot to ask God (or Gaia) how to, you know, competently perform the job of Commander-in-Chief once he actually made it to the Oval Office.
As Moe Lane points out, all Ben had to do to prove that …

“Porsche’s Top 10 Pop Culture Moments”
31 Jul 2011 6:39 am Craig Newmark

As I usually find with such lists, they’ve got most of the right entries, but they’re in the wrong order. #8 should absolutely be #1.

TSA Abuses Cancer Survivor For Second Time
26 Jul 2011 9:09 am William Teach

And, they apparently knew who they were patting down
Thomas Sawyer, a 62-year-old bladder cancer survivor who made headlines last November after a pat-down left him covered in his own urine, has filed a new complaint with the Transportation Security Administration.
Sawyer, who wears a urostomy bag that collects his urine through an opening in his abdomen, said he was traveling through Detroit Metro Airport on July 14 on his way to Orlando when he was singled out for a pat-down.
“Before I could even get (out) the words, ‘I …

More Lessons in Liberal Civility: Rape Yes, Target Maps No.
18 Jul 2011 3:20 pm Susannah Fleetwood

Pretty much everyone remembers last January when the liberal mainstream media accused Sarah Palin of being an accomplice to mass murder because she had almost the exact same target map on her Facebook page that the Democrats had up a year earlier. This whole “do as I say, not as I do” fiasco prompted liberals to decree that we needed a widespread campaign for civility. (Yes, I realize how hypocritical it is to demand civility from others while falsely accusing your political opponents of being accomplices to mass …

Vote On These Posts, People!
15 Jul 2011 12:03 am John Hawkins

At the bottom of each post, you’ll see something like this.

This enables you to vote on each post. You can vote it down, you can vote it up — and that’s a good thing because it lets me know what you like and what you don’t like.
If I see posts that are getting 10-15 thumbs up, it lets me know you want to see more posts on that topic or from that author. If I see posts with a lot of thumbs down, well, I assume a bunch of …

“OMG, I haven’t checked Drudge for almost an hour”
13 Jul 2011 10:58 pm Joe Dan Gorman

OMG! I haven’t checked Drudge for almost an hour…
[The riveting sequel to 'The Vast Right Wing Complacency']
by Joe Dan Gorman
“OMG! Did you see what Obama did today?” said the tweeting, yet feverishly over-facebooked conservative copy & paster.
Uh, yes I did…because you are the 137th conservative Facebooker/Twitter-er on my friend’s list that posted it….today
…in the past hour.
Conservatives are to ‘the news’ what Imelda Marcos was to ‘shoes’… We can’t get enough. The more we get, the more we want.
This is why conservatives lost the media to the libs in the …

I’m on vacation this week. Thanks to all the other bloggers at RWN for filling in and I’ll be back next week, same conservachannel, same conservaplace!

Getting Ready To Add Moderators
23 Jun 2011 7:00 am John Hawkins

Later this week, I’m going to be adding a crew of moderators at RWN. If you’d like to be one of them, say so in the comment section.
PS: I’m going to look back at your previous comments to see how well you play with others. If the answer is “not very,” you’re not going to be one of the moderators.

Tech Issues With RWN?
14 Jun 2011 2:11 pm John Hawkins

Right Wing News changed servers this week-end and that, of course, requires repointing the DNS. Some people have apparently been having issues. If you’ve been having issues with that or any other technical aspects, please let me know right here.
Update #1: RWN has been having a weird problem with its super caching. What that means is that for some people, me included, everything appeared to be going along normally. For other people, it looked like the page hadn’t been updated in days. Server moves are always a joy, if by …

Boob Theory
14 Jun 2011 2:05 pm Courtney Messerschmidt

“Ve are liffing in Amerika – Coca Cola – Voonderbra”
Last years “Boob Quake” – psychically predicted by the highest levels of gay free Persia’s Preacher Command – Hojatoleslam Kazim Sadeghi (Ho what?!) claimed hoochies, hotties and hoes “don’t dress appropriately” and spread the hot sticky lust “when promiscuity spreads, earthquakes increase.”
Oh snap! Say it ain’t so!
Only, it WAS so!
“The pro-scantily-clad lobby of womanity declared today Boobquake, a day to flout and disprove the cleric by baring your boobs.
“And then a 6.9-magnitude earthquake occurred in Taiwan!”
Sweet! Let’s start worshipping …

A Test: Do Women Actually Pay Attention To A Man’s Watch?
23 May 2011 3:58 am John Hawkins

In the age of cell phones, watches are more of a fashion accessory than anything else. Furthermore, if you actually take a look at a wide selection of watches, you’ll find that a $25 watch looks like a $50 watch looks like a $500 watch looks like a $5000 watch. So, if a watch is mainly a fashion accessory and watches look roughly the same no matter what they cost, then you have to wonder if it makes sense to spend any money on a watch. Plus, after a conversation …

Just Ask Me
20 May 2011 8:00 pm William Teach

So, you have some question for me, eh? OK, here we go! These ones come from Vega
-Which team benefits the most from the NFL lockout? Which team suffers the most?
Well, now, a very interesting question. There are many ways you can look at this. We could say it will be the teams with the most talent, because they will need the least practice to get going. But, then, a lot of those talented players are showboats, and love getting out and about, while the players with …

RightOnline 2011
19 May 2011 12:01 am John Hawkins

The fine folks from Americans for Prosperity are flying me out to the RightOnline conference next month in Minneapolis to teach. Out of appreciation and because I’ve attended the event before and had a great time, I want to run a promo for the event on RWN. Hope to see you there next month!
This summer Americans for Prosperity Foundation will host the fourth annual RightOnline conference in Minneapolis, MN on June 17-18th.
This year’s conference will feature leaders in government, new media, and grassroots mobilization such as Governor Tim Pawlenty, Congresswoman …

I Now Know Why You Don’t Typically See Baby Possums On Cute Overload
14 May 2011 6:53 pm John Hawkins

So, I had taken my dog outside and he’s EXCITED. I mean, excited even for him — and this is a dog who gets so happy he almost passes out when he sees me in the morning or gets to go for a walk.
I figured he caught wind of a cat.
Close, but not quite.
Actually, it was a baby Possum. Immediately, he ran up on it and sadly, baby Possums appear ponderously slow, because it looked like it was casually trying to lope away from a ravenous Jack Russell mix …

RWN Redesign In Process
23 Mar 2011 7:11 pm John Hawkins

As you may have noticed, RWN has a new look. As you also may have noticed, the new look is hosed in a few places. There have been a few unexpected difficulties that are hurting the design roll-out. I am going to be spending much of the rest of the night working to get those fixed up and tomorrow, with the help of my designers, I hope to have everything running at full speed. So, if something looks off, feel free to note it in the comments. It might be …

CPAC
9 Feb 2011 12:01 am John Hawkins

CPAC runs Thurs-Saturday of this week and I will be attending. Although I will be posting from CPAC, the posts may not be as regular as usual. Since there will be other RWN bloggers there, that will probably be true of them as well. That’s the nature of the beast.
PS: I will, however, of course have a massive CPAC wrap-up/pic post on Monday — and it will be awe inspiring, as per usual.

Right Wing News Fundraiser: It’s The Final Day And…: (Updated)
28 Jan 2011 4:52 am John Hawkins

As regular readers of RWN know, Right Wing News is doing a fundraiser. Here’s a breakdown of the basics,
I’ve decided that I need to up the revenue that RWN is bringing in. The simplest and easiest way to do that would be to start running more obtrusive advertising. I’m referring to auto-play video ads, pop-unders, and interstitial ads. These ads are becoming more prevalent on the web — including on political websites — because they pay a really good rate per view. I have talked to firms that sell …

Right Wing News Fundraiser: Not There Yet. Will We Make it?
