HELP KEEP THE LIGHTS ON: First Quarter '03 FReepathon Now Underway .. Thread 6

.... ...
The Free Republic first quarter '03 FReepathon is now underway!

Our goal for this fundraiser is the same as last quarter: $65,000. We have about $4,000 per month coming in from monthly donors so we will need to raise approx $53,000 to hit the target.
The funds raised through these fundraisers are used to pay our operating costs. Free Republic operates on an approximate $260,000 annual budget (breakdown here) and all funds are provided by donations from FReepers and Lurkers.

Thank you all very much for your continued support.
P.S. We are planning to make FreeRepublic.com email addresses available as a thank you to all who donate at least once per year. This new feature should be ready to go within a few days. We will post a notice and a link for donors to setup their FR email address as soon as it's ready.
Donate to FR and help us keep the lights on for the best political forum on the NET!

Did you see the one with the TIFFANY bedroom? What a nightmare that one continues to be.

[Howlin]

Oh, that bathroom!

Here's something that will make you smile.

Given that Al Gore has no job, he decided to take a sightseeing vacation to Europe.

While visiting Europe, he is invited to tea with the Queen of England. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is.

She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people.

He asks how she knows if they're intelligent.

"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me to demonstrate."

She phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister, please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"

Tony Blair responds, "It's me, ma'am."

"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen.

She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Gore?"

"Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"

Upon returning home, he decides he'd better put some of his old friends to the test. He calls Bill Clinton and says, "Hi, Bill, I wonder if you can answer a question for me."

"Why, of course, Al. What's on your mind?"

"Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"

Clinton hem-haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Gore agrees and Clinton hangs up.

Clinton immediately calls members of his old staff, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Clinton calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem. "Now look here, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"

Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you idiot."

Much relieved, Clinton rushes back to call Gore and exclaims. "I know the answer Al! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!"

And Gore replies in disgust, "Wrong, it's Tony Blair."

Did you see the one with the TIFFANY bedroom?

*L* .. yep I saw that

How about the one where she painted a likeness of her face on the wall

Personally I like Vern and Lori ... I'd feel much safer with them

[RottiBiz]

Send a freepmail to him and I'm sure he will pass it on.

I am one of those donors that can't wait to give (but I don't want to be a monthly, with tight budget ect..). I never seem to be able to wait until the end of the fund drive to give. I donate early and get on with FReeping. IOW Lets just say, viagra is not one of the drugs found in my house.

[justshe]

Ok...done. Sent to glock.
