Shipwrecks will do that.

There's nothing worse than a long holiday weekend for falling behind on the news. What group of clumsy criminals are we bailing out now? And, gosh, will a zillion dollars be enough? You can lose track. Plus what's happening with Heidi and Spenser?
That's why a website like Free Republic is indispensable. I know most people write it off as the tragic mutterings of a bunch of dandruff-addled, pit-sniffing shut-ins without the social skills to form a lynch mob. But that's an oversimplification.
It's also a news aggregator. With one click not only do I get all the headlines I need, I also find out -- in parenthesis -- how they make me feel.
Right Tilt: Attacks Tilt India to the Right (Barf!)
One Dead Rabbi Not the Issue (Barf Alert)
A President Named Obama Changes the Name Game (BARF Alert)
Aligning Hillary Clinton & Sarah Palin is Insulting (Barf Alert)
It's a Madhouse Outside the Gun Shops, Too (Barf Alert)
Putting a Face on Big Auto (Semi Barf)
Morning In America - Could Barack Obama Become the Next Ronald Reagan? (Mega Barf)
Iowa Cafe Swamped with Orders for "Obama Cookie" (MEGA BARF ALERT!)
Second Stonewall: One Gay Man's Rant on the State of Queer Equality (Hurl-icious!)
Okay, so the part in brackets isn't actually a very useful feature. You can be pretty sure how you're supposed to feel is nauseous.
Almost everything makes Freepers throw up at least a little. If an army marches on its stomach, this one isn't going anywhere.

Poor Arianna...grasping to remain relevant. Your (greek) ship has sailed.
Ah, HuffPo...angry, bitter and ugly is no way to go through life. :)
That's good writing. LMAO!!!
I first heard of Free Republic before "Fahrenheit 9/11" came out. Free Republic challenged everything that Michael Moore's documentary exposed. Had they existed 100 years ago, they would have challenged Einstein's theory of relativity. Had they existed 300 years ago, they would have challenged Newton's assertion about the existence of gravity.
Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Michael Moore. Sure.
I dunno. I think that’s funny as hell.
God bless, Jim.
What’s the saying again? If you’re taking flak, you’re over the target?
This site provides a better range of news and commentary than any network or cable news channel, not to mention those...those...what were those messy things that used to be a source of news way back when? Oh, right. Newspapers.
Liberals probably find Free Republic disconcerting because FReepers debate, discuss and disagree. Articles by conservatives AND liberals are posted and analyzed. I’ve found a wide range of very interesting people here. A...dare I say it...diverse crossection of America.
You know diversity...it’s something liberals only know how to chant, not practice.
You said it Jim! I wonder why they are even on this site, if they’re going to just bash it? Maybe they’re curious, in spite of themselves? A lot of the adjectives they used in describing posters on “Free Republic” sound more like the denizens of “DU”, “Daily Kos”, and “Huffington Post”! Funny huh?
Arianna: Thanks for having my baby! tdice
Wootwoot!! We’re known by the enemies we keep! Keep up the good work, Mr. Robinson. I’m proud to be a “Dollar-A-Day” donor.
Poking fun at our “Barf Alerts” is the best they can do. Lame.
Oh little blog of Huffington,
how still we see thee lie,
Whilst in thy drug-demented sleep,
the liberal line flows by.
But in thy dark moods shineth,
those everlasting wrongs,
That hippies preach and liberals preach,
while puffing on their bongs.
I laugh every time I see that woman. I can’t take anything she says seriously. Marrying a gay man....bwahahahah.....talk about judgment issues.
Her husband must have barfed a lot. Maybe he put a picture of those short little trolls Markos Moulitsas (Daily Kos)or Bill Maher on the headboard to get him in the mood.
