Scott Brown visits with the folks in South Boston, and everyone seems excited about January 19!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I apologize up front for this vanity, but this photo is very telling. In the photo, we see our military rendering honors to the Veterans (both deceased and still with us). Why is it that this punk stands there with his hands folded? He makes it really obvious that he could really care less about America and our great Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, Sailors, Coast Guardsmen and Merchant Marines. Why does he fail to salute our Veterans and our great society?

FBI agents have been in New Orleans City Hall since Friday collecting data from computer-network servers and backup tapes, according to a city official familiar with the investigation. Five federal agents have tied up the work of management information systems employees as they comb through the data stored on the servers. The agents are expected to be in City Hall all week, said the source, who wished to remain anonymous because the investigation has not been made public. The agents came bearing federal subpoenas seeking information and met with Chief Administrative Officer Brenda Hatfield, the source said. City spokeswoman Ceeon...

Neil Cavuto interviews Lee Iacocca about the newest Mustang from Ford Motor Company. The man who saved Chrysler in the 1980s reveals that the very limited edition model will be limited to just 45 vehicles, in order to celebrate the 45th anniversary of America's Pony Car.

Stephen Moore, Mary O'Grady and Dan Henninger join Paul Gigot for a group discussion on the Obama "stimulus" package for the United States economy.

Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. I apologize for the vanity, but I am seeking advice from those of you who are also in my predicament. Given the coming destruction to our Nation as the result of Barack Hussein Obama, I am angry at my mother and sister for voting for this communist. I purchased several nice things for my father who is Conservative, but I am having a hard time finding something for my mother and sister. What do you, my FRiends, buy for your family members who are also Obamatrons? Thank you for your time, and Happy Hanukkah and...

Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. First off, I apologize for the vanity, but I have a serious question for any Mark Levin fans out there. Are you having difficulty listening to his program on XM Channel 166 in the evenings? His program begins at 5 PM CST, and is supposed to run to 7 PM CST. That said, XM has been pulling his show off the air at 6 PM CST, and the channel then broadcasts a recorded message stating that XM Channel 166 is temporarily off the air. Now, this could happen every now and again for whatever technical...

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, I know that it's late, but I thought you might find this Youtube video interesting. First and foremost, most of us have seen the disturbing "Sing For Change" video that was posted by a bunch of brainwashed cultists who support Obama. These people not only remind me of the Jonestown people, but they scare me even more now that I realize the amount of mental illness which pervades our Republic. Second, I found this video to be both humorous and disturbing when we examine the similarities of Kim Jung Il and Barack Hussein Obama. The cults...

Greetings, Freepers. While I realize that no one really likes vanities right now, I figured I might ask a serious question. Just how angry and hostile are Michelle and Hussein Obama? I see serious signs of mental illness in these two people. Have you ever seen such a nasty pair running for office? I sometimes get angry, but I cannot imagine behaving like this in public. It's just not in me to scream and shout like that. I apologize right now for the vanity, but I just cannot imagine these horribly hostile black racists running our Republic. To be honest,...

Anyone who is watching "Hannity and Colmes" this evening should find it strange that Scott Rasmussen is explaining and even openly defending the tax policies of Barack Hussein Obama. In particular, I noticed that Sean was telling Rasmussen that "businesses don't pay increased taxes, they pass that onto the consumer with increased prices." What the heck was Scott Rasmussen doing by explaining and even DEFENDING the tax proposals of Barack Obama? Isn't Rasmussen supposed to be an objective pollster?

Youtube video of Barack Obama and his cult of followers. Song is from the band "Cake," and the name of the song is "Building a Religion." Enjoy!

New Orleans has a far greater proportion of vacant homes than any other city in the country, due in large part to a lagging recovery in about a third of the neighborhoods that were badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, new analyses show. The nonprofit Greater New Orleans Community Data Center released two reports Thursday, one of which used U.S. Postal Service data compiled in March to compare New Orleans with seven other American cities that have large inventories of blighted or vacant housing. When it comes to abandoned homes, New Orleans is in a class by itself, the report indicated,...

Federal investigators this morning began examining documents in the Poydras Street offices of the shuttered New Orleans Affordable Homeownership Corporation, a nonprofit supervised and financed by Mayor Ray Nagin's administration that ran a home remediation program in 2006 and 2007. Officials arriving just before 10 a.m. at NOAH offices near City Hall, on the 10th floor of an office building at 1340 Poydras Street, declined to speak in detail to a reporter, as one of them said simply that "we're guests" at the offices. But they appeared to be carrying out a subpoena issued last week as part of a...

Mayor Ray Nagin told the City Council this morning that the city has found 90 properties where storm remediation work that was supposed to be conducted by taxpayer-financed contractors was not done. Nagin said his staff visited all 870 properties enrolled in a now-defunct home remediation program run by the nonprofit New Orleans Affordable Homeownership Corp. Of the 90 properties where "discrepancies" were found, contractors involved with the program billed the city for work on 46. The city has notified those contractors of the problems and asked for reimbursement or documentation of work, Nagin said. While Nagin acknowledged that his...

A 31-year-old woman was shot when she tried to flee an armed robbery attempt Tuesday night in Mid-City, police said. The woman was shot in the chest, but the wound apparently was not life-threatening, police said.

A passenger repeatedly stabbed and then decapitated a young man aboard a Greyhound bus travelling through Manitoba overnight in what appears to be a random attack, witnesses told CBC News. Police officers spent the night examining a Greyhound bus where a passenger was reportedly stabbed and decapitated late Wednesday. (John Woods/Canadian Press)The RCMP would not confirm the reports of beheading, saying only that a stabbing took place around 8:30 p.m. CT on an eastbound Greyhound bus on the Trans-Canada Highway about 20 kilometres west of Portage la Prairie, Man. A 40-year-old man believed to be from outside Manitoba was arrested...

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin refutes the findings of the latest UNO Quality of Life Study that show his approval rating has declined from 40 percent to 31 percent. "I think UNO needs a little more money in its budget. The sample size was pretty small, as well as, the margin of error was at 10 percent in Orleans Parish, which is unusual for somebody trying to assess the approval rating of a political leader. Nobody does that," said Nagin in an exclusive interview with Rush Radio 99.5 WRNO. According to the UNO poll, 49 percent of black respondents approve...

Fleeing from St. Charles Parish authorities, a River Ridge man drove a stolen Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office squad car into the Mississippi River early Sunday, according to both law enforcement agencies. David Mitchell Jr., 22, of River Ridge managed to get out of the car as it started to sink about 30 yards from the river bank, said Capt. Patrick Yoes of the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office. A towboat operator dragged Mitchell aboard after he struggled in the current for some time. The incident started in Metairie at about 6:10 a.m., when a Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputy, after investigating...
