 Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots

conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse,

to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.

And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!

I'm not a huge fan of popular culture, either -- I had to look it up (I'm not ashamed).

I never will forget when George W. Bush was on David Letterman and he was asked what the first order of business would be if he were voted president.

Bush replied something to the effect of: "Give the Oval Office a thorough scrubbing."

Priceless!

Or it was supplied to him.He mentions several posters by screen name so some research was done.

What is this about school and homework.From your home page picture I had you pegged for at least 20.
