Welcome to the 198th issue. Smokin' bunch of topics again this week, many thanks to blam who posted at least 95 per cent of 'em. No, I didn't actually do the math, so don't write in, okay? As happened last week, a few topics are not all that new, but had somehow previously escaped the GGG dragnet.
A new header this week, "Pages", will spotlight books which look worth reading. Naturally, these will be from existing topics on FR. FReepers love to read and recommend.
Something I've meant to do for quite a while -- check out FReeper Foxhole for military history topics.
Visit the Free Republic Memorial Wall -- a history-related feature of FR.
No matter how it turns out, the 2008 election will be historic, which is weird, because the fall of the Berlin Wall was supposed to mark the "end of history". Heh.
Defeat Hillary -- first for the White House, then for reelection to the Senate. Regarding the Demwit nominating convention, it will be ugly as an SOB. Various brainiacs in Obama's campaign continue to be that senator's biggest liability. It's almost as if some fiendish plan of Hillary is bearing fruit. Hillary is ordinarily forced to say nothing about Obama's embrace of holdover unreconstructed wild-eyed leftists (including the bomb-throwers), in order to hold the line with the left wing voters she'll need in November -- and to avoid being exposed for hypocrisy -- but as a NY Senator, she can't very well remain mute on forcing Israel to give up its very existence, which its "secret" nuclear capability ensures. The punchline is, by moving to defend Israel's right to self-defense, she moves back to the middle, which is where she'll need to be strong to win in November.
I need a new job.
