Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

[Dog]

Kitten I have seen 1 car in the last half hour...something is afoot.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Yea, how about "Tangaray"

[gop212]

Great point.

[Consort]

Does anybody know why it is that all the women in the "peace movement" look like crap?

Because the outer self is a reflection of the inner self?

[Dog]

Yes...

Gen. McIntery on Fox.....now.

[Poser]

Yes. Winner! It's pretty slow right now. We're talking about Republican babes.

[Jackie-O]

Tranquilizer gun??

[Timeout]

That's it!

Mo1, never mind....Carolina found it.

Check it out...especially the ship firing a cruis missile where you can make out the banner saying "We will never forget"!

[Nam Vet]

Oh!, VERY important question.....

Has anyone seen Patti Ann YumYum while I was absent?

Nam Vet

[gop212]

Well done. Very well done.

[retrokitten]

Are they so angry because they are SO DAMN ugly?

IMO, yes. Check out the FR photo album sometime. All the women are so pretty. HHhhmmmm....I don't remember ever stumblig across a DU photo album....I wonder why??

Of course, they would say that we are being sexist and conforming to the western beauty myth.

[TigersEye]

Poor Colmes. A thinking liberal among zealot fools.

If Colmes keeps trying to think he'll either become a conservative or his head will explode. Sometimes I wish I had TV. ;^)

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

WAIT !!!

She's that one that B&B called on the 900 # Sex Talk line. Remember that one...??????

[SoldiersGirl]

Martin Savidge of CNN, embedded with the 1st Marine battalion, was talking
with 4 young marines near his foxhole this morning live on CNN. He had been
telling the story of how well the marines had been looking out for and
taking care of him since the war started. He went on to tell about the many
hardships the marines had endured since the war began and how they all look after one another. He turned to the four and said he had cleared it with
their commanders and they could use his video phone to call home. The 19
year old marine next to him asked Martin if he would allow his platoon
sergeant to use his call to call his pregnant wife back home whom he had not
been able to talk to in two months. A stunned Savidge who was visibly
moved by the request shook his head and the young marine ran off to get the
sargeant. Savidge recovered after a few seconds and turned back to the three
young marines still sitting with him and asked which one of them would like
to call home first, the marine closest to him responded with out a moments
hesitation " Sir, if is all the same to you we would like to call the
parents of a buddy of ours, Lance Cpl Brian Buesing of Cedar Key, Florida
who was killed on 3-23-03 near Nasiriya to see how they are doing".
At that Martin Savidge totally broke down and was unable to speak. All he
could get out before signing off was "Where do they get young men like
this?".

Can anyone verify this?

[Carolina]

Today Baghdad, Tomorrow Paris!!!

[Dolphy]

It's really huge news and if accurate another stroke of brilliance. The sooner the Iraqi's take back their country, the sooner we will have millions on the ground with a focus on defending freedom.

[gop212]

This is true. It was on CNN, and written about in the WSJ, OPINION JOURNAL. Gives me the chills.

[reformed_democrat]

She's what you call Fugly.

Is that like a three bagger (one for her head, one for your head in case hers comes off, and one for the family dog so he'll respect you in the morning)?

[ztiworoh]

Honestly, he's making some sense lately, he's a liberal, but not crazy, I can deal with him. I think he's coming more to a centrist position now

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

"Are they so angry because they are SO DAMN ugly?"

Well, one theory I heard & believe is it's because they are, uh, "Orgasmic Challenged" .....
