Welcome to the 199th issue. I'm sure we'd all love some kind of special observance for next week's gala 200th issue, but somehow I just don't see that happening.
We got a slow start this week, with the first topic not appearing until the 6th. I had to dig a little to verify that. Topics came in bunches thereafter, and I added a few oldies which just came to my attention. As usual, hardworking FReeper Blam contributed most of the new stuff, while playing YouTubeD rock videos in another window. Guess I'd better start pulling my weight.
The new header last week, "Pages", to spotlight books which look worth reading, doesn't appear this week. Need I say, "oops"?
Check out FReeper Foxhole for military history topics. Also, <
Visit the Free Republic Memorial Wall -- a history-related feature of FR.
Defeat Hillary -- first for the White House, then for reelection to the Senate. Her victory in Indiana was too thin as she lost as expected in North Carolina, and each seemed to dissipate her recent momentum. As long as Hillary hangs in there, the convention will still be a mess -- I hope. I do think she will bail, perhaps as soon as the end of May, but otherwise shortly after the final primaries / caucuses in early June. Mitigating against that possible outcome is her having loaned her campaign over six million bucks of what was euphemistically referred to as her own money. Obama referred to the 57 states, which is a pretty small gaffe on the scale of all gaffe-ness, but does show what fatigue will do to you -- y'know, fatigue, that ages one prematurely after four or eight years serving as President of the United States, and getting six hours of sleep on average.
I need a new job.
