I’m a huge Tiger Woods fan. That’s why it pains me that he continues to do damage to his once-nearly-pristine image. Having recently reclaimed his sport’s ranking as World No. 1 – as the Euros put it – Tiger flew this week to Augusta, Georgia as the favorite to win the Masters. He acquitted himself rather well the tourney’s first two days, save for a mishap yesterday on the 15th hole. He hit an approach shot to the green that, as bad luck would have it, ricocheted off the flag pole and careened into the creek. After taking a “drop”...

OK just raising the topic, lest we get too concerned with North Korea and forget about everything else. China is now the largest exporter in the world. China now makes row, after row, after row of manufactured goods which used to be made in the United States, when we have an unemployment rate closer to 5%. Our actual unemployment rate is now more line 15%. NEITHER PARTY is doing squat, about this.

To the shock of America, Katie Couric admitted she shared an intimate evening with Larry King. Yes, the bespectacled, suspender wearing, grandfatherly TV-news journalist who is 23 years Couric’s senior. On last night’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Couric recounted in striking detail about the Italian dinner date she went on with King 26 years ago in Washington, DC. After dinner, King drove them back to his apartment where he tried to put the moves on her. “So we sat there and what can I say, he lunged,” Couric said (to the delight/horror of everyone watching probably.)

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS 'Sunday Morning' Commentary. My confession: I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat... Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the...

Face it, there are some very prominent Jews running (way, way) out front for gun control.

Just to mention this: Today our unemployment rate increased yet again.

A lot of FReepers tend to blame Baby Bomers for the ills of the world. The fact is that the Baby Boomers didn't originate a lot of the counter-culture activities of the 60s, they learned them from the Beatniks. So, to help clarify where the Hippies came from, you have to know and understand who the Beatniks were. Here is their story: Beatnik History Imagine it is the year 1959. You are seated at a table with a bottle of cheap red wine, a cigarette glows red in the ashtray. The place; a smoky, dimly lit, seedy, little bar in...

We are currently caught in a national debate which in my opinion misses the very (most) important aspect. We are currently debating between conservatives, and liberals. Conservatives are determined to maximise profits. Liberals are determined to maximise unions. Both of those are wrong goals. What we need as a nation, are maximum profits which benefit America. America is what is not looked at. America.

OK I'll go ahead and start this vanity, because I think it's a topic whose time has come: We spent billions more last year than we took in. Billions. On all sorts of junk. Every country in the world is building factories, selling their stuff to us. China in particular, is selling us all sorts of junk. It is time for us to sell, not buy. Just saying. Sell stuff. Sell stuff made here. Thanks for listening. :)

I mean what are we wasting our breath about? A biased debate "moderator", holds a meaningless debate. Blah blah blah.

Surviving slavery, segregation and discrimination has forged a special pride in African-Americans. Now some are saying this hard-earned pride has become prejudice in the form of blind loyalty to President Barack Obama. (please link to full article)
