We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
NEW JERSEY OFFICIALS ADMITTED LAST WEEK THEY COULD NOT ACCOUNT FOR TWO VIALS OF ANTHRAX; ADDITIONALLY, LAST SEPTEMBER, A NEWARK HEALTH RESEARCH LAB LOST TRACK OF THREE MICE INFECTED WITH BUBONIC PLAGUE.
Officials "claim" it was a "clerical error". The FBI is investigating.
IT IS EXPECTED THAT TONY SNOW WILL BE NAMED WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY TODAY.
Otherwise...
One has to love the liberals. Just yesterday, they were whining that "Big Oil" was gouging consumers, and that "something" needed to be done. Well, the President acted; EPA restrictions on "boutique" gasoline have been temporarily lifted, and the Government stopped purchases for the Strategic Oil Reserve.
Crude oil and gasoline futures both dropped in response. And the left had a response too. They discovered economics.
From the AP, quoting Mary Novak, managing director of Global Insight: If you have $75 a barrel crude oil, you've sort of at a starting point of $2.90 a gallon for gasoline.
So, apparently, if the President does nothing, he's in cahoots with Big Oil to screw the American public; and if he does something, Big Oil was never to blame anyway as market forces are what's driving gasoline prices.
In other news...
The mumps outbreak has now spread to Colorado.
More House aides have been subpoenaed to the grand jury looking into the McKinney affair.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
They would explode if they actually admitted that President Bush can be humorous or any other positive attribute.
Good Morning Everyone. WOW was that a hail of a storm last night. The ice balls were about the size of nickels, the wind blew bloody blazes and the lightning put on a wonderful show. The storm lasted about 20 minutes. This morning all looks calm as can be as if nothing happened last night. After awahile I'm going to check my little garden and see how much if any damage was done. I found out what has been happening to my bean plants, BIRDS have been attacking the leave and eating the stems. A farmer's wife told me birds love bean plants, so I'm going to get a couple of pvc pipes and stretch some cheese cloth over it, to protect my beans from those attacking birds. lol
Bill O'Reilly is going to have John Kerry on his program??? Gads, why? One reason I seldom watch his program. This will probably end up with Bill shouting and skerry mumbling his asinine monologue. Ick.
I hope your garden made it through the storm okay, till. It's beautiful right now here but we're due for some doozies of storms tonight. And it's lady's night tonight; we're going to a local artist's parlor and then a new and very fancy restaurant run by an award winning chef.
I find the outbreak of mumps curious, especially that it is not travelling amoung the early grade school classes, but universities. Very curious, indeed.
huh? those of us that are here EVERY DAY happen to like the Chair's style. You might too - stick around! It really isn't to tough navigating the punctuation.
"fear is a severe case can cause sterility", that has always been a worry to the medical group. When mumps "go down" it causes a problem and it is very uncomfortable.
I had to go look up some stuff about mumps because I'd forgotten exactly how it was transferred, etc. It's so strange, as you said, that it's hitting older kids.
Good morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to check in. Probably won't be here much today; having some medical problems, will call the doc at 9:00 to seek advice/appointment/whatever. (Prayers would be appreciated!!!)
Y'all have a great one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our country has always been BIG and at one time civil. With the advent of 24/7 tv and the "pretty" mouth pieces they have hired to appear before the cameras, the airways have become profain,uncivil, rude and ugly. One of the reasons a lot of us seldom watch anything but FOX and not all of it. We come here to FR and other sources for our news. THANK YOU JIM ROBINSON!
Mozie, I'm sorry to hear you're under the weather. Take the Dr's advice and take care. Prayers have been offered up that you heal quickly.
Ditto that, till. Off to exercise.
Take care.
Yes, yes and yes. Abuse buttons aren't utilized enough on FR, IMO. This is our forum and we must take responsibility for it.
I think we try to avoid feeling like tattletales....when actually the situation may be very appropriate to bring to the attention of the mods. Sometimes people have hit abuse and the posts are left up though, which frustrates people.
Jim and the mods walk a fine line between allowing free speech and discussion and policing the threads for varmints. We know the left is adept at it's domineering tactics and won't stop. We can let them win or we can keep the mods busy. I vote for the latter.
/ramble :^)
Here's a link to the Iowa Dept. of Health's Mumps info website:

You are so clever Rav. Good Morning.
We're off to Waco, so I'll be gone until this evening. We'll have a chinese lunch...yippee.
johnny, I do hope you are successful in your search, even though you are expensive. lol No really, I hope this is the job you're looking for.
How clever and witty our President is, and how arrogant the presstitutes are. They do take themselves seriously, don't they? lol
I'm glad you were okay last night. I'm hoping the garden doesn't have too much damage.
What a cheery sun. Good morning. Yes, I did show up on the Canteen thread. I mean to do that more. You have me concerned about those medical problems. Keep us informed with what the doctor says.
But, my question regarding this site and the abuse button is: Do we, the regulars at ATRW, have the right to expect every post we hit the abuse button on to be removed?
Somehow, as much as I'd like to police our little community, I'm not sure WE have a right to that expectation.
It would be nice if the jerks stayed on the otherside and left us alone. But jerks being jerks seem to enjoy jerkhood and work to impose their annoying behavior on everyone.
I find 'thread hijacking' distasteful. I wish it didn't happen. But I don't know how it can be fairly policed.
There are many times when threads innocently drift off topic. Asking our Mods to become mind readers to determine people's intent is asking a bit too much, IMHO.
I so seldom go to the other side to read an entire thread, I probably shouldn't even offer an opinion on this. My habit is to go to the other side, read the article, skip the replys, and then move one. I think more and more people are doing this.
