Howdy everyone!

Are you ready for a FReepathon!

Well, we're fresh back from two great patriotic rallies in Crawford, Texas and Washington, DC! And the good news is, I think we've stopped Cindy Sheehan and her would be antiwar movement dead in its tracks!!

Hoorah!!

Cindy Sheehan go home! The 60's are dead and gone and your 15 minutes of fame is up!!

Thank god!

Tens of thousands of communist inspired leftists descended on our nation's capital, but they left no lasting mark. I don't think the country is in the mood for putting up with the anti-American antics of aging hippies and drugged-out punk anarchists. There will be no massive Vietnam style antiwar movements. Not this time.

America and freedom itself were attacked by cutthroat terrorists on 911 and our people will not forget. Our all volunteer army has knocked out the Taliban and Saddam Hussein's evil fascist party and army. Millions of people have been liberated from murderous tyrants. Saddam Hussein himself is languishing in prison awaiting his date with justice and the hangman. Democracy has been established in the middle east and with our continuing help will flourish. It will take some time but the scourge of terrorism will eventually be wiped off the face of the planet for all time.

Thank God for President Bush and our armed forces!

Thank God for our wonderful men and women in uniform!

Thank you all very much!!

P.S. The back to back rallies have just about depleted our cash reserves and we have some tax payments coming due this month so I've set our target a little bit higher this time.

Oktoberfest beer drinking dips as volume lowered

MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Despite having an extra day to celebrate, revelers drank less of Germany's favorite tipple at this year's Munich Oktoberfest tribute to beer which ended Monday.

(excerpt)

Some 6 million litres of beer -- enough to fill around six Olympic-sized swimming pools -- were downed by the 6.1 million visitors to the festival in the Bavarian capital. That was about 100,000 litres below the 6.1 million litres in 2004.

---

I/m working up to an Olympic sized in my backyard someday myself,, I . uhhh, my pool can maybe hold 25,000 litres tops. ;-)

Beautiful! Ocelot?

Saw some Ocelot/mix cats on Animal Planet and they were gorgeous.

A bit on the wild side, though.

Thanks for the bump, samiam1972 -- and, thanks for being a monthly donor!

There were 4,000 items left behind in beer tents this year, including a set of dentures, two crutches and one wedding ring.

I guess someone was drinking, not eating.

Good luck with the "pool."

Good morning, Jim.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Good morning everyone! Rotti, I do believe your chart is wrong. That flag from that place has accidently been placed on the top again. The Committee Against That Place would be most appreciative if you'd correct your mistake.

I vil be bach!

[RottiBiz]

New Scoreboard coming up just for you, Grammie.

Still wrong (to your old eyes) but better than the last one.
