Free Republic

When you're being grilled by a bunch of useless congressional representatives over the "high price of coffee," it's only natural to wonder how one might fix this collection of useless windbags. Check out the newest "Geeks On Caffeine" toon which ponders this very dilemma! NOTE: The author of this comic requests that you visit the sight and refrain from pasting the comic within the thread.

"Theodicy" Part 1: Carl's Choice "Do not put the Lord your God to the test."Watch and comment on Part 1. (Part 1 introduces Carl, the main antagonist in the story.) Since the death of his fiancée, Carl has become a drop out, heavy drug user and, most recently, a homeless street performer in Washington, D.C. Recovery seems possible after he saves the life of a congressman's relative and gains access to her wealth, but hidden enemies and his own inner turmoil threaten to drag him to new lows.

There is really no limit to what race hustlers will say. Here a British organization, the National Children's Bureau (NCB), has published a book by Jane Lane, who is identified as "an advocate worker for racial equality in the early years sector", titled Young Children and Racial Justice Breibart: Toddlers who say "yuck" when given flavorful foreign food may be exhibiting racist behavior, a British government-sponsored organization says. The London-based National Children's Bureau released a 366-page guide counseling adults on recognizing racist behavior in young children, The Telegraph reported Monday. The guide, titled Young Children and Racial Justice, warns adults...

Whoops forgot link...APALACHICOLA, Fla. (CBS) - A Florida Fish and Wildlife biologist pulled off a daring rescue Saturday in the Panhandle: He rescued a bear with his bare hands. Officials say a 375-pound male black bear was seen roaming a residential neighborhood near Alligator Point, a neighborhood of about 100 homes on a small peninsula about 40 miles south of Tallahassee. The bear was hit with a tranquilizer dart, but he managed to bolt.. http://boknowsonline.com/2008/07/02/bear-ly-saved/

Check out this "Geeks On Caffeine" cartoon, and it will become crystal clear...BEFORE you even get through the security check!

Police sniffer dogs will have to wear bootees when searching the homes of Muslims so as not to cause offence. Guidelines being drawn up by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) urge awareness of religious sensitivities when using dogs to search for drugs and explosives. The guidelines, to be published this year, were designed to cover mosques but have been extended to include other buildings.

Even though the July 4th holiday has passed, it's still important to remember what it truly means. Today's "Geeks On Caffeine" cartoon delves into history just a bit, but also takes a brief look at...um...lingere? See for yourself! NOTE: The author requests that you please visit the web site and not copy the cartoon into this thread. Thanks!

This comic pretty much sums up the attitude of the author with regard to the "do nothing" congress. Yep, it's time for another slam on democrats by "Geeks On Caffeine."

TEEN SEX RING IN VERMONT There may be something about Mary but there is definitely something about judges. Perhaps the job, the power, the judicial robes go their heads? Who knows? The Supreme Court of the United States has made more than its share of screwy decisions, from the Dred Scott miscarriage of justice to the horror of Roe v. Wade and its subsequent result of 50,000,000 legal murders of the pre-born to its recent decision that child rapists can’t be executed. On my local scene, I still recall Judge “Cut ‘Em Loose Bruce” who was notorious for his years...

Peggy sent me this. Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father. “Emily Hussein Nordling,” her entry now reads. "I mean, like, isn't that, you know, like, just you know like the coolest thing like in the world?" Or sumpin' like that. With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by...

Yet another reason to vote for Senator John McCain. Former Hillary supporter, Barbra Streisand now endorses Barack Hussein Obama: http://blogs.reuters.com/fanfare/2008/07/01/barbra-streisand-backs-obama/. Add that endorsement to backing from pro-abortion groups, the LGBT (Lesbians, Gays, Bi-sexuals, Transgendered) lobby, Reverend "God Damn America" Wright, Tony (Criminal) Rezko, Bill (Terrorist) Ayers, and every left wing kooky group out there and it's become crystal clear to all but the terminally obtuse that this guy makes George McGovern look good! This election is developing into a test of H.L. Mencken's thesis that you can never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. Should Obama ever...

Sometimes you have to wonder where the priorities of Congress lie. Joe Black, from "Geeks On Caffeine" sure does!

According to Ron Paul Henchman and alleged erstwhile ghostwriter Lew Rockwell (broke link, Lew Rockwell not welcome on Free Republic), you can blame Dicky Flatt’s buddy, Phil Gramm: …I was involved in that campaign, when Reagan broke his moronic “11th Commandment� to speak ill of fellow Republican Ron Paul, and such figures as Karl Rove and Paul Weyrich conspired to wage a very nasty campaign against Ron. In true Republican dirty-tricks fashion, Ron’s campaign office was even burglarized and his mailing list and other documents stolen. The power-elite had annointed (sic) the Philster, and would brook no grassroots opposition. Ron,...

Humans are thoughtless and cruel. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but did you know their thoughtlessness goes back many, many years? Check out this invention by some innovator type from back in the thirties. I like how this article from the June, 1936 issue of Popular Mechanics starts out… (When you take your dog along for a ride, but prefer not having it inside the car…

Forget hearings on illegal immigration, tax reform, or anyting else of importance! The "do nothing" congress insists on hearings for useless "problems" facing Americans. We've seen it with oil prices, steroids in baseball, steroids in horse racing and reform of the college BCS. Now, for the ultimate in useless hearings, check out the newest "Geeks On Caffeine" cartoon!

It was at the Yohji Yamamoto fashion show, where several old men over 60 hit the catwalk. One of them happened to be artist turned filmmaker Steve McQueen, who just won a prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Aren't all of those tech gadgets great? PDA's, cell phones, laptops and so on have all had a beneficial impact on our lives. However, not ALL innovations have this effect! See for yourself in this latest installment of "Geeks On Caffeine!"

Gas prices have us all willing to try alternative fuels. But would you try THIS alternative fuel in the latest cartoon from "Geeks On Caffeine?" Maybe... NOTE: The author of this cartoon requests that you visit his site and not copy the cartoon into this thread. THANKS!

Keith Olbermann had a temper tantrum at a memorial reception for the late Tim Russert.

HOW TO START YOUR CAR WITH A DOG (A breakdown patrol man who came to the rescue of a woman motorist has managed to get her car started using her dog.) How do you start a car with a dog? I guess you can stick its tail in the ignition and see if it starts or maybe attach the car to the dog like a rickshaw and pop it into gear when it gets rolling fast enough. What other solutions could there be? (Juliette Piesley, 39, had changed the battery in her electronic key...

As a woman who loves sports, I've always found the concept of breasts bothersome. If all goes according to plan, they will fulfill their intended function for about three of the 70 years that I have them. The rest of the time, they alternate between getting in my way and embarrassing me. They are a favorite target of Frisbees and soccer balls. Finding sports bras is a chore. {snip} The idea of an energy-generating bra isn't as crazy as it might sound. A company called Triumph International Japan recently unveiled a solar-powered bra that supposedly will generate enough energy to...

Scientists have made the claim that obese people are more responsible for global warming than thin people. So what's the cure? Uh...ask a fat guy and you may not like the answer! (The author requests that you visit his site and not paste the cartoon within this thread. THANKS!)

So let me get this straight. If you're an Islamic radical and blow up innocent people, you go to paradise and are blessed with a harem of 72 virgins.

Apparently, the Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is a rock star in Germany. So German expert toymaker Marcel Offermann decided to create a doll in the likeness of the junior senator from Illinois. The 14-inch doll is rocking a black suit, complete with a Stars-and-Stripes lapel pin, a white shirt and sky-blue tie. This collector’s doll is available in a limited edition of 999 and it is priced at a hefty €139 ($216). Offermann, who admits to being an admirer of Obama, has made dolls of public figures such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Pope Benedict XVI and the Dalai...

You read that right. The leader of the Bill Clinton Impeachment Team in the House says Bush is SO much worse than Clinton ever was. Check it out in this fascinating MobLogic.tv video. Barr also talks about the history of his mustache, civil liberties, privacy and other important topics. (video link- http://www.moblogic.tv/video/2008/06/20/bob-barr/)

Yet another global warming fantasy is that the polar bears are being killed by our CO2 emissions. That aint what's killing them, it's the reds! See for yourself in this "Geeks On Caffeine" cartoon!

Many girls dream of having their faces appear on billboards, and now the dream may come true. The lingerie giant Wonderbra is looking to recruit 1000 women to strip for the world’s biggest ever underwear photo shoot, reports Marie Claire.

Many people don't realize that shooting sports offer their own unique recycling opportunity. Check out this "Geeks On Caffeine" cartoon to see how shooters can be earth friendly and make a political statement at the same time! However, keep this in mind: This is probably not something your average "greenie" would appreciate!

(full title) The GOP Mark On This Beast Gross Animal Abuse; PETA Notified; I Am Not A Republican!; And Am Having No July 4th Party… The email message begins with an insulting slander — a strange way to solicit a donation. It is from Sue Gazdo, Director, RNC Membership Services, Republican National Committee. She even ends it “Sincerely� which, I fear, she, alas, is. The insulting, slanderous greeting?

Some times people have bad hair days, but not Amy Winehouse! She has adventures with her hair every day. This time she went for the Marge Simpson look with her raised hair. She only forgot to color it in blue.

For a movie called "The Happening" not much happens. M. Night Shyamalan effectively delivers the usual broody air of foreboding that has been a trademark of his hits ("The Sixth Sense" and "Signs") and misses ("Lady in the Water" and "Unbreakable"). And this fear-mongering story of an airborne toxin that causes victims to snuff themselves in nasty ways shoving hairpins into their throats, hurling themselves en masse off a high rise, the like induces plenty of seat-squirming. The shock value wears off quickly, though, and writer-director Shyamalan strands us (along with Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel) in an ultimately boring...

Believe it or not, but these Key Closet jeans cost $10,000. Are they made out of gold, you ask. Yes, partly. The buttons on the back pockets are made of white gold. Tiffany-set Swarovski crystals for the thighs and one-carat diamonds on each back pocket, for a total of two carats for the derrière. The graphics are accented with foil and hand spray paint.

As a canine, there’s something satisfying about watching this video. I have to say, these are folks that see the water bowl as half full instead of half empty.

Confused by the title? Confused by the concept of a "man" giving birth? Confused in general about how society let this nonsense happen? Well, you're never going to be as confused as the baby boy of the pregnant "man"! See why in this cartoon from "Geeks On Caffeine."

The Fashion world is crazy, and don't we know it. Wigs for cats, diamond necklaces for dogs, blingastic jeans, and whoa - heels for babies! The Heelarious company makes one-size shoes for infants in leopard and zebra patterns, black and hot pink patent, and hot pink matte. The tiny stilettos cost from $35 to $39.95. Buy them, and your 6 month baby will rock out to a nirvana of ga-gas and goo-goos.

In today's gender bending society, would it really be an honor for a transsexual, pregnant man to name his/her child after you? In this comic, Joe of "Geeks On Caffeine" has this dubious honor bestowed upon him...

Times are getting tough for the DUmmies. As PJ revealed in this DUmmie FUnnies EDITION, the cost of their organically grown cruelty free vegan food is becoming prohibitive. But that is just food. Belts can be tightened. The rising cost of gas has effected the cost of everything that has to be transported, including dope, and getting high is something DUmmies cannot, WILL not do without. So it is time to improvise, as we can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled "Can you smoke garlic." Now on to watch the DUmmies desperately try to catch a cool buzz on...

You know thins is coming. Is your average 9-1-1 operator ready to take the call for the world's first "pregnant man?" Odds are it will go something like today's "Geeks On Caffeine" cartoon...

Heard about the pregnant "dude" on Oprah? Well he's in "Geeks On Caffeine" and...uh...well, the title of this post pretty much says it all. Further evidence of the decline of Western civilization? A sign of the apocalypse? Or just another story about a nutbag that expects the rest of the world to buy into personal delusion? YOU MAKE THE CALL!!

With Hillary's primary collapse, it may be time to thank those feminists in advance for their support in the upcoming presidential elections. Even though their vote for McCain may be for the wrong reasons, it will at least provide the right results for a better America.

"The move was seen by political pundits as a bold albeit misguided attempt to bolster his popularity amongst African-Americans, young voters, and elements of the criminal sub-culture — all groups with which he is trailing badly in the polls." Read more here: http://www.crazyforum.org/

A transformation in the pace of economic growth can be achieved even without nanofactories. These pre-nanofactory methods would transition well to a world with nanofactories when they do arrive. A coordinated effort by research, companies and government could be made to plan and develop Rapid Automated Manufacturing by 2030. There could be an increase in economic growth into the 10-20% per year range even for developed countries like the USA. Technology roadmaps and planning would be needed to perfect materials, supply chains, real time monitoring, approval processes and deployment of the technologies and methods listed below, the world could transition...

Every few weeks, TIME Magazine sends me another offer to subscribe to their communist garbage. See, I received a gift membership from a relative for Christmas a few years ago and did not renew (duh). These guys do not relent. In the envelope is the offer letter, a glossy bookmark, and a sheet describing my "free" gift if I subscribe (the same piece of garbage alarm/radio which I received with my gift membership). Oh, and a postage-paid return envelope. I just tossed them all until I saw this cover one day while at the grocery store: I have a feeling...

Remember the recent farce when the Guardian's George Monbiot made a spectacle of himself by pretending he was going to subject John Bolton to a citizen's arrest for being a "war criminal"? If the kooks at Democratic Underground have their way, we'll be subjected to more tasteless entertainment along the same lines. DUmmies are advised not to announce they're coming before pouncing on their quarry, and to refer to convictbushcheney.org for information as to when suitable victims might show up in their towns. There follows a long list of "war criminals," along with their alleged crimes, mostly having to do...

A business owner has to worry about many "groups" with a social agenda. After coffee shop owner Joe Black had a run-in with the Transsexual Mafia, the next group with a social bone to pick made its presence known!

The moonbats plan to "Arrest" members of the Bush cabinet after Jan 2009. The moonbats are going even further into looneyland. Some of the moonbat's ideas for "Arresting" members of the Bush cabinet are to read them their rights and tell them that they are wanted for war crimes. Here is the link to their article: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3360349

With all this talk of Hillary as VP, I thought it only logical and prudent to review the various and sundry ways in which many former unlucky associates of the Clintons have met their fates.
