Howdy everyone,
Are you ready for a FReepathon?
The state of our FR is strong!
Our big legal bill is now paid off and our budgetary requirements are now reduced. For the first time in our history, our monthly donations are now bringing in more than 50% of our quarterly budget! Thanks to our generous membership and the settlement with the City of Fresno, we now have a comfortable cash buffer and should have no problems meeting our coming tax payments and other obligations.
I've recalculated our estimated budget requirements for the remainder of the year and have posted them here:

We just completed the first loop of our nationwide tour and we had a great time! We traveled through eleven states in three weeks and FReeped with, met with and dined with FReepers in ten cities and from at least a dozen chapters. It's great to see all our old friends again and to meet new ones. Joining a gathering of FReepers is just like going a family reunion. Very warm and friendly and just like home. Thank you all so much for your gracious hospitality and friendship!
We hope to visit all fifty states and most of our chapters within the next year or so. We hope to visit our LA Chapter on the 1st of August to tour the Reagan Library. We hope to visit our San Diego Chapter sometime this month to welcome home the USS Ronald Reagan. We're also planning a Pacific Northwest Tour in August. In January, we're planning a trip across the South and down into Florida and then up the Eastern Coast to Washington, DC for the Free Republic George W Bush Inaugural Ball II!! Woo hoo!!
Well, with the war in Iraq all but concluded, the trial of the Butcher of Iraq about to start, and the election season heating up, I'm sure that FR is going to be THE place to be to get the very latest in news and conservative discussion in the coming months.
Thank you FReepers for making FR the premier conservative forum on the Internet!
Looking forward to the coming campaign season! Good luck to all and may the very best people be chosen to lead our great nation!
Thank God for our successes thus far in the war for freedom and may He guide us through to complete victory over tyranny and terrorism.
Thank you and may God bless you all.
Jim
Some 60 candle lighters gather around a 40 foot cake comprised of 30 sheet cakes to light more than 15,000 candles in honor of the 20th Anniversary of Water Country in Portsmouth, N.H., Thursday afternoon, July 1, 2004. Water Country was trying to break the world record for candles on a cake which stands at 12,000. Water Country officials said they would have to review a videotape to determine if they reached their goal. (AP Photo/The Portsmouth Herald, Rich Beauchesne)

Oh no, #97 is TOO MUCH.
Let's drink, shall we?
I have a new litre of Bailey's
Irish Cream that I got for $17

Add a little Smirnoff and ice

ANY questions.
Coffins shaped like a fish, a giant onion and a Mercedes have gone on display in Berlin in an exhibition on sepulchral culture aimed at reminding Germans they can go out in style. The exhibition opened in Berlin on July 1, 2004 and features chic black-lacquered and gold encrusted caskets by German and Italian designers alongside novelty shaped coffins created by the African artist Kane Kwei.

sleeping with the fishies has new meaning in one of these things.

I remember when FreeRepublic was just Jim Robinson in the bell tower with a couple of latterns. "One if by land two if by sea."
Then came the upgrade as Jim rode through the streets on horseback shouting "To arms to arms the liberals are coming."
Thoise were the days.
You put both hands in. . .
