You don't have to even fire up your browser to see the headlines with this Widget.
It's an independent little application that shows the Free Republic headlines at the press of a hot key.
It pops up (along with other Widgets you've chosen -- like weather radar, picture frame, analog clock, calculator, search bar, etc.) when you hit F8. But this little Widget shows you the latest FR Headlines. Then if you click on one of the headlines, it launches the browser and takes you to FR and shows the topic you're interested in.
Hope this explains better. I'd post a screenshot to show you, but the Widgets don't show up on a screen capture.

Interesting.
Thanks.
