Krauthammer just said on FNC that if the "bailout" is not resolved tonight, the market will vote at the opening bell Friday.

A Guatemalan man who is in the United States illegally was arrested early yesterday on hit-and-run charges after a traffic accident that killed two men and injured three other highway construction workers on the side of U.S. 29 in Montgomery County, police said.

I just finished watching a re-run of COPS, and it occurred to me that there are certain phrases you are not apt to hear on that program. So I thought it might be fun to see how imaginitive Freepers could be in seeing how many we can come up with. I will start off with "Yes, officer, I stole this automobile. And that is my crack pipe in the ash tray and all those drugs in the glove box? Yep, all mine." "Si, Senor, I am an illegal alien, and I am here to make lots of money selling my...

Merry Christmas Friday, December 24, 2004 By John Gibson Now it's time for 'My Word'... I am going to call tonight what it is, no matter who it offends. It is Christmas Eve. There. I said it. Christmas. Look at the papers. All the columnists are talking about these days is how people feel they can't say "Merry Christmas" anymore, and how some are pushing back by saying "Merry Christmas" willy-nilly. It wasn't always this way. These were generally acknowledged days of the year for decades, even centuries. It was called the Christmas season — there was Christmas Eve and...

She was just on FNC and she was either nine sheets in the wind or about to break down. A little early to be celebrating, so does she know something we don't?

While the Swiftboat Veterans For Truth currently face overwhelming attacks from MSM, DNC operatives and legal supporters, anti-war activists, and mis or uninformed non-veterans, consider the wrath they will likely face if John Kerry is elected POTUS.Their FBI files will be at the very top of those which will, no doubt, be aquired by Kerry and his operatives. Their lives will be subject to intense scrutiny by IRS and other governmental agencies under Kerry's thumb. Those who are not retired and hold government positions may lose their jobs or be passed over for promotion. Any who seek Civil Service employment...

I post this personal encounter to ascertain whether any other Freepers have had similar experiences or have heard of anyone observing such behavior as I describe below. Last week, my wife and I were driving home from our place of employment in Central Maryland. We always take US 29 N to US 40 E to the outer suburbs of Baltimore. As we passed under the only enclosed footbridge on US 29 at Columbia, I noticed a female Asian or Middle Eastern person on the footbridge appearing to stare South at the traffic passing underneath her. She was not moving but...

The spirit of freedom felt on Independence Day is well known to people like Delbert Reffitt, who will help the city celebrate it. Reffitt is the grand marshal for this year’s Fourth of July parade and the most decorated living veteran at the VFW Post 3809. He has five bronze stars and a bronze arrowhead to his credit for his Army service in the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, and subsequent service across Europe and northern Africa. He has not been back to Europe since. “I got terrible seasick,” Reffitt, now 82, said of the days waiting aboard a U.S....

Where are all the celebs who have been out before the cameras for the last month blasting our President and his effort to protect us from potential catastrophic attack by a madman. I have not heard a single Hollywood or TV person commenting on the terrible event which happened today...no condolences, no regrets, nothing. The silence from the extreme left is deafening. Is it perhaps that this doesn't fit into thier agenda? Or are they so far removed from reality that they just don't care. Of course, I'm so tired of hearing thier anti-war banter that I find relief that,...

IMO, the price of (tounge firmly in cheek) law just went up significantly. Algore, break out your wallet. Bill Gates, break out the GOOD stuff!

For several weeks now my wife and I have watched the hit quiz show "So You Want To Be A Millionaire" on ABC with Regis Phillman. About a month ago I noticed that there was an obvious absence of one particular ethnic group in the participants each time. I commented that ABC had better watch out or they would suffer the wrath of certain advocates. Tonight, Regis opened the show with a statement (seemingly prepared) which talked about the show being predominantly "white male" content and said they wanted to be more "diverse". Three times after that either Regis or ...

Something to Say Commentary Wednesday, October 20, 1999 Bring It On, Joe The dirty little secret of the anti-gun crowd is now right out in the open, which probably isn’t good for their cause. To use a football analogy, It is as though one of their linemen jumped offside and stalled what looked like a touchdown drive. The culprit is Maryland Attorney General J. Joseph Curran Jr., who has called for an outright ban on private ownership of handguns. In a 58-page report titled “A Farewell to Arms,” Curran says such a ban is his long-term goal, needed to end ...
