Because I have a GREAT idea for my own blog that involves stealing articles and published pieces from legit websites and authors AND POSTING EXCERPTS maybe 15 or 20 times a day here.
It would really help my mission of attracting readers who don't know any better to MY blog.
Are the rules that Blog Pimps are ok now that HG is gone? Or just SOME "special" people?
Inquiring minds would like to know. I'm firing up my Blog Creator in another tab here.
Thank very much for your time. And I really did make a $50 Vanity donation.
Where did Humblegunner go?
I skip church on Father’s Day because I’m no father, and my church insists on handing out participation trophies to all men, regardless if they are father’s or not.
I hope humblegunner is OK. He’s one of the FR family.
He made a nasty comment regarding PJ Comix’s wife.
I think he got banned for it not sure...
If you’ve never been insulted by Humblegunner you get a booby prize from Laz.

I call out blog pimps whenever I run across them.
A dirty job, but someone has to do it
Perhaps FR got tired of running off all their customers and wanted more news than just CNN and MSDNC posted?
Vanity donation challenge met!
And PS Evweryone - Re: Credit Cards Being Declined For FR Donations:
Some time ago our monthly donation was ended when our card was declined. I tried to re-enter it so many times and it kept being denied and I just didn’t try anymore.
This morning, on fire with purpose, I tried again and it was declined again.
Then I noticed this:
On the Donate Link that takes you to the CC Payment, the “Country” field is backwards. US States are changed to “Non-US” and foreign countries are listed under “USA”. You can’t change it.
Also, there is no field to enter your Security Code on the back of your CC.
SO - I clicked the Paypal Donation button (even though I don’t have PP), and under that is a choice for Credit Card Payment.
I selected that and ALL of the required fields were there and correct. There is an option to “Save info and create PayPal account” but I did not.
I hope that helps somebody, and I hope FR can fix the CC link because I think you’ve lost a few donations from that field error.
So many people; so few Junior High School Hall monitor positions to fill.
Oh the humanity!!!!
Those who only post a couple of very few sentences from sources that you can post 300 words from, and esp. if their own blog, and even lazily just post whatever they see at the top of an article, including peripheral invites to FB etc., are not helping FR to be the overall best general conservative news aggregator. See An exhortation to those who post thread (normally post as much of the meat of the article as allowed, describe videos, etc.)
