Thanks, DD. And your tagline is truer now more than ever.
Thanks, blueplum.
“Frappy”—that’s a new one, I like it!
Happy New Year!
From you, it's worth plenty to me. Happy New Year!
Your body may be crippled, but your mind is sharp as a razor.
It wouldn’t be the same here without you—keep posting.
Happy New Year!
Allegra—thank you!
Another Christmas and New Year’s in Iraq. Hope you will be able to be Stateside in 2009-—we want you to be safe.
Your page is a hoot and has great pictures of Baghdad and Iraq—I love the pic you waiting for your beer delivery.
That guy gets around more than Tourist Guy!
Happy New Year to you!
Thanks--now I need to get a Braille keyboard.The retinas are shot.

I don't know, Soliton's opus was pretty good.
Happy Freepday from another refugee from the Garden State.
Hey, Cyber Liberty! Happy New Year!
Your home page is a hoot—such creativity.
LCS-thanks and Happy New Year!
Was just back in the Garden State yesterday and Monday—now I remember why I left it!
Back in nice calm Lower Slower Delaware. BP is lower, too. How do they stand it—drive there a few years and you automatically qualify for NASCAR.
Not my stuff...just a place I puit stuff I find on ZOT threads...
They said I "attacked the child" when I simply did what the mother asked when she said "look at us, we're the type of family that S-CHIP was made for". So I did what she said, I looked to see what type of families already get S-CHIP (since they wanted to expand it to even higher income families) -and they got pissed.
The family lives in a 3,000 s.f. home with 2 rooftop decks, owns 3 expensive SUV's (Hat-Tip Malkin), sent 4 kids to private school where the tuition was 20,000 per child, owns commercial property under a LLC that has at least one tenant paying them rent, and the father runs his own business.
I got called a liar because they claimed the kids went to the school on scholarship (they later claimed they had to pay $500 per child). Their friend of 10 years (the tenant in their commercial property) said it was his understanding the wealthy Grandparents paid for tuition. (Hat Tip-Malkin)
I also made a comment that was seized upon by many in the nutroots. While seeing the photo of the family in the Baltimore Sun, I said it looked like their new kitchen had granite countertops (in addition to the glass front cabinets). When it came out the countertops were custom concrete the left howled with laughter as if this somehow showed everything I discovered was untrue. The funny thing is custom concrete countertops are just as expensive as granite-but I digress.
I made Olbermans worst person list, had Hillary Clinton badmouthing me, had RUSH reading from some of my FR posts, became an issue in Mitch McConnels reelection race, and had an article run on ABC about the "Firestorm" I started in Washington. It was pretty exciting but scary as the left went nuts trying to track my family down.
The thing is I'm no better than any other freeper. I truly was a "pajama media" who simply did the job of what you would expect the media to do.
Free Republic provides the outlet where, for a few days, ANYONE can be Matt Drudge, anyone can break a big story (see Buckhead), anyone can be a citizen journalist and have as much impact as Dan Rather (or cause him to lose his job-lol)
Keep up the good work.
It took you ten years to become decadent?
Lightweight!!
;-)
djf—Happy New Year and may you get a bailout for your tagline!
Truth be told—I was decadent before I got here. The jury is still out as to whether I’ve gotten worse since then!
