Sorry for the vanity, my first presidential vote was Reagan in 1980. He was polled a loser v Jimmuh. Is “Dewey beats Truman” the last time the MSM tried to be fair?

I play a dopey Internet Words with Friends game, it’s Scrabble. Certain words were on the board and I had my seven letter tablets It came to me instantly and I thought, no way in hell. I played “Borked” and was rewarded with 42 points, probably my second best of all time. I would post the screenshot I took but, going through the FR woodpile or whatever it’s called, I don’t have the BS, PHD and NWO or whatever skills to post it. Believe it or Borking not, a true story

Just turned Fox on now and it is not available because my "carrier is changing"

Anyone interested in joining? We have two long established keeper leagues, one roto and one head to head. Both standard 5X5 scoring. Let me know if interested.

We have a freeper fantasy baseball league entering its 15 season that has two openings for managers I can't get a hold of. It's a six keeper player, 5 X 5 roto format. Freepmail me if you are interested.

We have a keeper fantasy baseball league that's about 5 years old in search of a new manager. The six keepers would probably be Arenado, Ellsbury, Felix, Cluber, Richards and Molina. If Richards comes back soon, the pitching is lock down, obviously the hitting needs some help. Let me know if you're interested. The draft is next weekend.

Sorry for the vanity. I am the current commish of a Freep league that will be starting its 14th season. It's a 12 team roto scoring league (standard 5X5) that is short two teams. The first team available came in third place and the likely six keepers are Kershaw, Fielder, V Martinez, A Sanchez, C Lee and Werth. The other team came in 8th, has a boatload of closers and likely keepers Felix, Elsbury, Adam Eaton, Belt, Chapman and Hardy. The draft is Monday 3/17 at 6:30 pm PST with keepers locked down a few day before that. freepmail me...

There has been a FR roto league going on 10 years now. The commish has been freeper Lone Palmc who was recently placed on the DL. Prayers out to Lone Palm, and he needs a replacement manager for a 5 X 5 roto league. Ideally, the league would like 3 managers to get us back to 12, but 10 teams will do. The draft is at 11 Saturday (tomorrow) morning. It's set up as a keeper league. We've been trying to do that for a couple of years with little success. As the replcament commish, I'll delay the keeper part...

Big time compueter problem. First my bona fides: My computer is turned on. I am logged in. My beeper is set to stune. I took a shower. I'm not wearing an aluminum hat. I'm trying to fix some PC problems by doing a MS System Restore but can reagardless of which day I choose going back three months. I did a defrag last night and it still won't Restore. Any suggestions?

The fourth/fifth (at least) version of this freep leauge needs two more teams. Our beloved commish is in love (great for him) but not taking care of business. I have become the dominant creature of this league the last few years. There are some real players. Freepmail LonePalm on freereublic or email me at jjchierich1@aol.com. If you ain't a playa, don't email me (Lone may let you in)

There is no body

Sorry Mod, put this in the proper location My dear old Dad is going in for Round 3 against the Melonoma Mauler. Round 1 took a chunk of his calf out and Round 2 took out a piece of thigh. The Mauler seems to want to go for the pin in Round 3, as it appears to have spread to his lung. The docs took out a liter of fluid this afternoon an performed a CATscan. This is according to my Mom, an RN who may, or may may not, be telling me the whole story. My Mom and Dad...

Can someone post updates of the game for those of us still at work? I have a K on SC. Thanks Admin relocate as necessary

Admin Mod, if this is in the wrong place please move it to the correct place. Thanks I'm trying to help my son on a school project. We are trying to consolidate what the most important jets in US military history and need some strong resources. For instance, I think the F4 Phantom is important as it evolved into the F15 or F16 (I think) but need to find someplace to verify. Also what does the "A" dsignation, as in A-10 stand for? Any guidance will be greatly apprceiated.

Clinton policies led to Internet growth-report (UPDATE: Adds Armey spokesman comments at end, Bush mention in 2nd graf) By Andy Sullivan WASHINGTON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - The Clinton Administration said on Tuesday that its policies over the past eight years enabled the the Internet to grow from a little-known scientific research tool to the economic and social juggernaut it is today.

I travel and the wife doesn't. For those who do travel often, they know things are getting worse day by day. The wife thinks I'm a VRWC nut but I'm turning her ever so slowly. Where can I find info from a legit source which I could lay next to her pillow stating, in fact, that on-time performance has detioreted year by year? Thanks.

NATIONAL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A long wait for the president By THOMAS HARGROVE Scripps Howard News Service December 19, 2000 WASHINGTON - "'Twas an hour after schedule and all through the East Room, not a president was stirring. At least none too soon." President Clinton - who is well-known for his tardy ways - kept 41 young school children waiting for 59 minutes Tuesday for the annual reading of Clement Clarke Moore's poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," first published in 1823. Clinton spent seven minutes with the children after he finally did show up with Hillary Rodham Clinton, the senator-elect for ...
