Good work on your epic poem you've pinged me to. I loved it!
Speaking of the Swiftboaters, I just ordered and received the book "To Set the Record Straight (How Swift Boat Veterans, POWs and the New Media Defeated John Kerry)"
The book is authored by two of our own freepers, Interesting Times and The Shrew. I shuffled through it and wow, does it ever look fascinating and meaty.....with lots of photos and inside stuff.....and I see Free Republic.com mentioned in several chapters. I think you can contact Interesting Times by freepmail to find out how to order the book. I'll be up late tonight reading it, that's for sure.
RTO, I hereby tap you on the shoulder with a Heinz catsup bottle and dub you a full-fledged member of the FR Light Verse Brigade, of which I'm founding Colonel. Aculeus is Field Marshall and Dighton is the very model of a modern Major General.
It's a very loose-as-a-goose brigade, but I'll ping you when good freeper doggerel pops up on this board.

The Charge of the Light Verse Brigade... I’m Lovin’ it. Many thanks, my dear lady. I accept the honors. Does this make me “Sir” RTO?
Forward, the Light Verse Brigade!”
Was there a FReeper betray’d?
Not tho’ the troller knew
His foolery had blunder’d:
Their’s not in fraud or lie,
Their’s not of treason, high,
Their’s to slew with wisdom sly:
Into the gallery of jest
Wrote the six hundred.
3.
Patriots to right of them,
McCaniacs to left of them,
Clintons in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with snot and shrill,
Boldly they keyed verse well,
Into the jaws of Jest,
Into the mouth of Hillary
Wrote the six hundred...
A Thousand pardons Lord Tennyson.
