Van Jones either sounds like the name of a Blaxploitation action hero or an Eddie Murphy SNL-era character.

I had some friends that were learning to run trap lines. An older, accomplished hunter was teaching them. My friends were satrappers.

Our sociofascist Satrap spouts his claptrap before America's students next week Monday as part of his on-going effort to O-doctrinate our youth. However, many right-thinking parents and groups are standing up to this affront in a spectacular "Sparta" moment...

Just as Uncle Sam is the personification of the U.S.A., Jim Thompson is the personification of FreeRepublic.com.

xshub said unfortunately he looks alot like Donovan McNabb to him [xshub likes DM] and i think he looks like a black Lenin. are you wearing your team colors today?
Sean had a cute bit on his show last night with college teams of the various fox family members. And this AM, the reg fox and friends are off so the weekend crew is in and they were all suited up with team schwag this AM. UNFORCH, clayton morris whom i DISLIKE, is a PITT grad bc he had pitt stuff, dave briggs had U of Colorado stuff and poor alysin camarata had a mug and a tshirt bc she went to LAMEASS UNamerican university and they have no team and no schwag! xshub was sad to see Megyn Kelly was off today bc he hoped to see her in the SU snuggie! [clayton and dave had snuggies from their respective schools] He left out of here festooned in a very nice SU tie, which should clue in the college counselor [with whom he and xsboy are meeting during xsboy’s free period this afternoon] to GET OFF PENN STATE!

well, all I can say is if the counselor is clueless about the rivalry, he should shut up already about Penn State....is he getting a commission or what?
