A 79-year-old motorcyclist is dead after he hit a moose near Gibbons on Sunday night. Morinville RCMP were called to the collision on Highway 28A south of Gibbons around 7:30 p.m. along with paramedics and firefighters. By the time police arrived, EMS were already attempting to resuscitate the unresponsive man. Police say the victim, from Fort Saskatchewan, was driving his Honda Gold Wing motorcycle when he hit a moose, fell off the bike and onto the road. A car that had been driving behind the man also hit the moose, then the motorcycle. The victim was pronounced dead at the...

On Saturday, visitors to the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg were treated to a re-enactment of some of the weapons, tactics and strategies used to win War World II. “Give me an army of West Point graduates and I'll win a battle. Give me a handful of Texas Aggies, and I'll win the war.” General George S. Patton quotes (American General in World War I and II, 1885-1945)

FORT WALTON BEACH – A 59-year-old Fort Walton Beach man was arrested for indecent exposure after a neighbor saw him Tuesday wearing only a G-string. A woman reported seeing her Tanager Road neighbor sunbathing, wearing only a pink G-string. She told deputies the man stood up two times and she clearly saw his exposed buttocks, according to an Okaloosa County Sheriff’s report. The man’s yard also is not enclosed by any fence and is visible from the road, to neighbors and a school bus stop, the report said. The deputy pulled up to the man’s house. When the man saw...

Penobscot, ME) -- There is one ticked off moose in Hancock County, Maine who wasn't about to share the road with a car. Sheriff's deputies say a car driven by a woman was traveling on Western County Road just after dark last week. According to deputies, the moose was standing in the road, so the woman stopped and waited for it to finish crossing. Apparently it was having a bad day because just as it passed the car it kicked the headlight hard with a hoof and destroyed it. The moose also did some damage to the front fender and...

Ok this was just funny enough to pass along. The Source of STFU. Southern Tenant Farmers Union. No seriously! In 1934 the biracial organization started up in response to the New Deal and the farm subsidies that had the effect of encouraging medium and large land owners to take a good bit of their land out of farming to get the subsidy. That had the effect of throwing about 200,000 black families off the land who were tenants and sharecroppers. It forced thousands of Black share Croppers and white small holders to drift to the cities. The STFU, was not...

Girl, 12, is youngest Minnesotan to kill moose October 23, 2009 Nicollet, Minn (AP) — A Minnesota wildlife official confirms that a 12-year-old girl is the youngest Minnesotan to kill a moose in the modern era. Department of Natural Resources spokesman Lou Cornicelli says Kelly Holmin of Nicollet achieved the distinction earlier this month. The bull moose had a 58-inch antler spread. Kelly bagged it Oct. 13 on the Gunflint Trail. She and her father endured a cold week of wind and snow before they saw the 1,100-pound moose about 75 yards away. Kelly dropped it with a single shot.

Well, I've come down with flu like symptoms and it's been 2 days of no fun. My major symptoms are not what I'd call life-threatening, they are what I'd call annoying. I am experiencing: 1) Major back pain and body aches. Don't look at my back, it hurts. Need advil to lie down. 2) Exhaustion. I want to lie down. I don't care if it hurts. My minor symptoms are: 1) Minor, not severe ear pain 2) Minor but gone almost immediately sore throat 3) Initial onset of headache, gone 1st night prior to other symptoms 4) Stomach quesiness but...

I reconfigured my settings a while back, and noticed a few days later that the Freeper Poll no longer showed up on the forum page. I went to the settings, moved the "opinion polls" section, and checked again. No polls ever show up. Of course, there is a chance that the "polls" category has nothing to do with the freeper polls, and is actually for posting of online polls. If that is the case, I'm not getting that, either. It's bad enough that I chose to put "GOP" on the end of my freeper name, long before I knew that...

A moose is squirreled away at a Fargo hotel this morning, and authorities are asking the public to stay out of the area. The animal is "contained on the property" of the Mainstay Suites at 1901 44th St. S., according to an e-mail report from Fargo Police Sgt. Jeff Skuza. The moose is showing "no sign of trying to leave as we work to resolve the situation," Skuza added. The sergeant said that the species' "size and temperament make them a significant public safety risk in an urban setting."

A piggy-back race with dwarfs dressed as jockeys has been slammed by critics as offensive and derogatory. Thousands watched the race at a Cranbourne racetrack in Victoria, dubbed the "midgets' cup", as part of Sunday's Cranbourne Cup meeting, Adelaide Now reports. What do you think of the race — was it harmless fun or just plain ridicule? Share your thoughts below. Three men raced down a 50m stretch with a short statured person on each of their backs. The race ended with one "jockey" falling and crashing headfirst into the dirt but he was uninjured. Victorian racing minister Rob Hulls...

It has just been revealed that Barak Hussein Obama secretly broke the speed of light just twelve days into his presidency.

Today off the coast of Nantucket, Pres. Barack Hussein Obama won the America's Cup Yahct Race. Making his win even more historic were the facts that this is an off year for the Cup race and that Pres. Obama won the race without a yacht. "Seeing Pres. Obama out there just sprinting across the waves is just so inspiring.", said Buffy White, "I just love the fact that this will inspire many black inner city youths." Pres. Obama was unavailable for comment after the race, but White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs said, "Pres Obama is extremely busy now with the...

SAN FRANCISCO, Harding Park Golf Course - Players for the US and international teams were shocked today as it was anounced that President Obama has been awarded the Presidents Cup. US captian Fred Couples and International Captian Greg Norman looked stunned as they discussed the announcement as thier players stood around the driving range waiting to find out if they would play thier matches today, or, with the US holding a 3.5 to 2.5 point lead, the tournament would be called. Phil Mickelson shook his head and was at a loss for words when asked about the development, he did...

Well, if this isn’t an analogy for an empty-suit presidency, nothing will suffice. It’s too good to be true and so almost certainly isn’t, but as this rapid-fire look at 130 photographs from the UN this week shows, it’s hard not to draw the conclusion that the POTUS has a COTUS. Watch the frozen image of Barack Obama’s face on your first pass, and then check the position of his hands on your second pass:

The Swedish armed forces have been hit by a major equipment problem, according to reports. Flimsy military brassieres are unable to stand up to the strains imposed when female Swedish troops perform "rigorous exercises", routinely bursting open or even catching fire - so forcing busty young conscripts to hurriedly strip off in the field. The revelations come courtesy of the Gothenburg Post and English-language Swedish journal The Local. The Post reported yesterday on concerns raised by the Swedish Conscription Council, an organisation concerned with the rights of conscript troops in the Swedish forces. Council spokesperson Paulina Rehbinder told The Local...

I'm applying for a temporary job at a large company. Part of the application consists of a very precise accounting of my work history. There's a note on the interactive application that says name previous employers from payroll records. This makes me wonder if something a friend told me once is true - that prospective or current employers can look you up thru tax records.

Okay, assume Obama is determined to be ineligible to be the president due to him not being a natural born citizen of the United States. That would mean that neither he nor Biden would be eligible since he was elected under false pretenses. It is quite possible that Pelosi will be facing charges up to treason for her part in this mess. Byrd is physically unable to take the office. And the rest of the Cabinet were appointed by Obama and would equally be ineligible as all of his appointments were unconstitutional. My guess is that if this goes down,...

Video purports to show Jackson exit coroner vehicle A video floating around the Internet claiming to show Michael Jackson 'still alive' is creating a bit of a stir. A description posted by user 'LosAngelesCot24' on Liveleak.com reads 'this video shows that Michael was still alive after his dead body was transported to the Los Angeles Dept. of Coroner. I checked the license plate number and it looks like the King of Pop is jumping out of the same van, his dead body has been in.' The user claims to have obtained the video from a 'trustworthy source' but there's nothing...

Perhaps the most offensive infomercial you'll ever see is an advertisement for a spray that claims to be able to prevent butt-stink and every other odor no single deodorant would dare to tackle. "Aspray goes where other deodorants can't. Aspray your butt," the announcer boasts. "Aspray under your arms. Aspray your feet. You can even Aspray your privates." Then, to top it off, a woman is shown crossing her legs and spraying her crotch, followed by this line:. "Aspray is safe for all your odor zones." MSNBC told The Washington Post the network aired the commercial once in the overnight...

MILAN - All that is golden in bank Credito Emiliano's temperature-controlled vault is not precious metal, but something equally prized in Italy: aging Parmesan cheese. Row upon row of 85-pound wheels of straw-colored Parmesan cheese, stacked some 33 feet high at a secure warehouse, age for as many as two years under the care of bank employees trained in the centuries-old art of Parmesan making. The program allows Parmesan producers to pump cash into their business by using their product as collateral while it is otherwise sitting on a shelf for the long aging process. While the mechanism was not...

Calls are rushing into the Homer office of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game about moose that have large "tumors" all over their bodies. The good news is this is a benign disease with no discernable health risk to the moose. The bad news is these unattractive moose won't make the cover of Alaska Magazine. These moose have benign epithelial tumors, or papillomas. In common terms, they have warts. And the warts can be up to 6 inches across.

Paranormal: An Encounter With Black-Eyed Kids by Jason Offutt Posted: 13:15 February 4, 2009 There’s something wrong with these children. They approach quietly, yet boldly. They’re young, usually teens or slightly younger. They insist on coming inside your house to use the bathroom, the telephone or just for a drink of water. But for some reason you’re afraid. Why? They’re just kids. Then you notice their eyes – black, as if the pupil had poured over its banks. You don’t let them in – or do you? Black-eyed kids. The term has floated across cyberspace since Jan. 16, 1998 when...

For 3 years you YouTubers have been ripping us off, taking tens of thousands of our videos and putting them on YouTube. Now the tables are turned. It's time for us to take matters into our own hands.

There are times when back to back posts on Free Republic strike the eye as if planned, but one must figure they were not. This thread is devoted to occasions where two or more FR posts occur in sequence that literally fit together. The example to follow was created by using the [CTRL] + [PRT SCR] function and then pasting into Photoshop for a quick cropping. (Sorry if sloppy.) I'm counting on other Freepers to keep an eye out for these occasions. If someone else has already started this work, please point me to the same and I'll post this...

Basically, it comes down to this. I made a promise to my family get off of here, but continued to break that promise. There is sufficient momentum for the birth certificate issue to where any further research is unnecessary. The fact that Hawaii refuses to authenticate or acknowledge producing the COLB that the libs insist that is real, along with the statements made to me by Dr. Alvin Onaka in late October, pretty much nixes any hope by the opposition that a real Obama 2007 COLB exists. The libs can refute my research all they want, but it's not going...

Alain Ribaut does not speak English, claims to hate American food and has few personal connections with the United States. But he thought Mirande, his sleepy hometown in southwestern France, needed a little something, perhaps even a glimpse of the American dream. So in 1992 he set out to organize the “festival de country music de Mirande,” which has grown into an annual event that now attracts more than 160,000 people, 40 times the population of Mirande.... Harley-Davidson motorcycles fill the parking lots, and speakers blare country music. Some people are transformed, too. Mr. Ribaut described how in this year’s...
