One day a man was walking in the woods when he got lost. For two days he roamed around trying to find a way out. He had not eaten anything during this period and was famished. Over on a rock ledge he spotted a bald eagle. He killed it, and started to eat it.
Surprisingly, a couple of park rangers happen to find him at that moment, and arrested him for killing an endangered species. In court, he pleads innocent to the charges against him, claiming that if he didn't eat the bald eagle he would have died from starvation. The judge ruled in his favor.
In the judge's closing statement he asked the man, "I would like you to tell me something before I let you go. I have never eaten a bald eagle, nor ever plan on it. What did it taste like?"

Ahh, so the call to action comes at last!
Laughing uproariously at this excellent joke and browsing
around this awesome blog, clicking on it several times to
provide as many hits as I can. It's simply brilliant!
I've bookmarked it and forwarded a link to all my friends.
I love blogs like this, and the marketing strategy is amazing.
LONG LIVE BLOGS! WOOHOO!
Putting down the crack pipe now...
When I don’t hear the end of a joke, I just think of eels in a hovercraft.
I’m smiling and nobody’s feelings are hurt.
Ask Zero. He has been eating an eagle for several years now...
Pimping a blog with a retread joke is like a diet soda.
Tastes crappy, no nutritional value whatever, and sneaky neurotoxins hiding to give you cancer later.
(Seriously, is there anything lower than pimping a blog with a joke? .......no ..... I didn’t think so.)
Don’t tell me you have pictures on your walls of clowns with tears running down their cheeks
I can always count on you Laz
Pimpbusters just cook them, but don’t eat them either. That lightning will cook anything.
Isn’t this person a serial pimp of jokes sans punchlines? That’s what I heard, anyway.
Speaking of jokes, did you hear the one about the farmer's daughter and the traveling salesman? It's hillarious! It goes like this: One day, this traveling salesman stops at a little farm house and...

Believe it or not, once upon a time vanities were frowned upon by our participants. FR’s original format was established to not only fight for liberty and against government abuse/corruption, etc, but to criticize the liberally biased mainstream media. Therefore our original format was to post from valid NEWS sources and government reports, etc, and to tear them down where deserved. Vanity posters were shunned (unless they were very good).
Then a few years ago the blogger craze started. At first, most of them were treated simply as vanities and were pulled or zotted on sight. Eventually some were accepted as valid material on FR. And soon the blogger wars commenced. To allow blogs or not to allow blogs was the question. Can’t go blanket either way. Like it or not, some blogs are better than most others.
So, long story short, we created a special forum for blog posts. This was in lieu of simply deleting all blog posts. The theory was that as long as they were posted in the bloggers forum, those who didn’t wish to read them could simply click on the “news” forum and they wouldn’t see them. But, of course, as some blogs are definitely better than most others and some are much better than your typical mainstream news sources, we soon allowed certain blogs to be posted regularly to the news section.
This all worked more or less to a certain degree without too much friction until the non-commenting, short-excerpting, long-complaining blog pimp was born.
I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.
If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.
Furthermore, I’m not big on “rules.” You won’t see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then you’re welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog. But if our readers see that you post useful information then they might start reading your site and that’s fine by me.

He’s kind of like an irritating wino in a neighborhood tavern, who tells lousy jokes hoping people will buy him drinks.
Sometimes the people buy him the drink just to make him go away ..... or pass out.

A word to the wise is generally sufficient. We don't want to drive good conservative thought off of FR. But we need to fight a recent surge of people using FR as a launching pad for click-through marketing attacks. This kind of abuse is unfair to our volunteer donors that keep FreeRepublic.com running.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
You know something pauly? I don’t think FreeRepublic would suffer one whit from the absence of a self appointed (and pretty lame) joke teller.
Especially one who behaves the way this one does. (If I were to go into detail I’d break forum rules against personal insults.)
