A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Top SIX Reasons I Don't Have
a Really Neat Post For Today
(Sorry, couldn't come up with 10 this time.)

 6.  I've been busy photographing my new puppy.


 5.  I've been learning how to make pickles....(really, I have).


 4.  I've been practicing my writing skills in hopes that someday I might be as Fine a writer as JH2! (It will never happen, but it is a goal worth working towards!).



 3.  I've been busy researching how I can become a New York citizen just long enough to vote for my cuzzin, The Mayor. (Hey, if Hillary, from Arkansas, can become a New York Senator, I figure MamaBear, from California, should be able to become a New York voter - for a day!)


 2.  I am still trying to make the perfect pineapple pie for our wolfie. :-)


 1. And, the number one reason I have nothing to post today is because.........(drum roll.....)......I have been working my fuzzy paws to a nub polishing silver and crystal and laying out this fabulous "Finest Buffet" for your enjoyment!

Okay, some of these things didn't happen
(but they could have!) ;-)

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 9-02 thru 9-05-05... Labor Day Weekend 2005 9-06-05... Military Monday on Tuesday

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[Pippin]

Think I'll try to call into one of the talkshows, Sean Hannity comes on 3:00pm EST here and I get off from work at 3:10PM est. I can legally call in after then I'm gonna tell this to Sean. See what he says.

I also asked a conservative coworker about it and she said I should remember that ignorant people say ignorant things.

I'm gonna be watching carefully and if this loud mouthed ignorant liberal nitwit continues with these comments than I should go to her manager about it.

My worry is that her manager is probably a liberal hate-Bush type that it wouldn't make much a difference.

[Mama_Bear]

He is running for Erie County Legislature. I think it is comparable to "County Supervisor" - which is what we call the position here in California, but I am not sure, actually.

But I DO know that, if he is elected, Rus will do everything in his power, wherever possible, to lift the yoke of government from the shoulders of the citizens of Erie County and reduce their tax burden. I sure wish I could vote for him. We all know he is one of the good guys. I admire him tremendously for getting involved in his local government.

[Pippin]

Way to go Rus!

[Mama_Bear]

Okay okay! - - we here at The Finest are up to all challenges,

LOL. That is certainly good news, seein' as how this hostess completely messed up the schedule by posting TODAY when it was actually Billie's turn. SHEESH!

Well, at least y'all are getting a nice buffet out of the deal, and Billie gets the day off! ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

I would say, report her to the FBI. That is a serious threat against the President. Even though I am sure she is NOT a threat to the President and is just mouthing off, I believe they will contact her and inform her that she is NOT allowed to threaten the life of the President, whether she has any intention of following through or not. If nothing more, it will shake her up a bit. I think the FBI takes ALL threats seriously, as they should.

[Pippin]

Thanks.

How can I get a hold of thier phone #?

[Mama_Bear]

What a powerful graphic for The Pledge of Allegiance...

Thanks, LadyX. Yes, I know well the emotion behind that photograph. When I came across it, I knew it would make a wonderful pledge graphic. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

good morning all.. wonderful opening Lori.. BUT...Top SIX Reasons I Don't Have a Really Neat Post For Today --- YOU DO HAVE A NEAT POST

Thanks, Dolly, and yes, those ovals are made in PhotoShop. :-)

Have you named your puppy yet? I still like Maggie's suggestion...."Hardy".

Have a great day, Sistah.

[Mama_Bear]

Good Morning to the Finest.

A Finest Good Morning to you, MEG!

[The Mayor]

I'll take all the votes I can get....

[Mama_Bear]

Infact, maybe I'll hop in my little plane (compliments of Billie) and pick you all up!!! We'll just stuff that ballot box LOL!

LOL!! Sounds like a plan!

That Dutchess plane graphic is one of Billie's BEST animations. I love it.

Have a good day, dear Sistahs.

[MEG33]

Good luck!

[LadyX]

"and Billie gets the day off! ;-)"

[MEG33]

Love the graphic!

[Mama_Bear]

Check this page on their website.....Federal Bureau of Investigation. You can click on a link on that page that will give you a form to fill out.

Here is another page you might want to read.....FBI - What We Investigate.

I am going to send you a freepmail in a sec.

[DollyCali]

A little break from FBI, Katrina, Jane Fonda, Oprah, etc..Well, feline fanciers, feast your peepers on these crazy sights!

http://catsinsinks.com/ -- yep, it's just photo after photo of cats in sinks

[Mama_Bear]

I know, and I feel very bad about that, but you are doing a Fine job of pouring coffee and tea today anyway, and you are very much appreciated.....EVERY DAY! :-)

(((((((((((((LadyX))))))))))))))))

[The Mayor]

Erie county is split into 15 districts, each district is represented by one legislator who represents about 60,000 residents.

Combined they make up the county legislature. I will represent 3 towns and a portion of another.

The county governments have out lived their need, and it is time to eliminate it all together, really eliminate county government is the objective, yes I am running to put myself out of a job to help save the residents of this county and try to stop the exodus of the population to the south.

We have 9000 employees, all with pensions, healthcare, and benefits you and I could only dream of.

We have created the biggest political threat to the status quo they have ever had to face. 7 legislators have decided not to run again, county comptroller resigned, sheriff resigned and we will take out the rest.

We are 118 million in debt for 05 and 130 million in debt for 06. We no longer have the population and tax base to continue on this road to destruction.

If we don't succeed, it will be hopeless for this area and hopefully the people realize it now. We will find out next week.

[The Mayor]

Thanks Meg!

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks for explaining what you are running for and your objective. Any politician trying to put themselves out of a job is okay in MY book! LOL.

IMO, if more people would stop griping about the current state of affairs in our government and get involved, as YOU have, we might be able to start solving some of the problems that are eroding our government as it was intended to be. Those of us who aren't in a position to run for local office can at least get behind those who are making an effort to upset the status quo.
