Attaboy, JR! And minions, of course. Lo those (not so) many years ago on Prodigy. Failed to take down The Rapist then, but the clean kills are mounting now! Wack 'em and stack 'em.

Kudos Jim, thanks so much for this site. Kudos to Buckhead et al. for breaking Bla^ther's Big Lie and his back. Freepers are the best.

To be nit picky, Free Republic isn't a blog. No biggie.

My Super Bowl party in January pales in comparison to tonight's party. Besides the usual beer, chips and runny dips will be Dan Kabobs (skewered, of course),Faux-ny Pate (made from minced bologna) and a few Bitter Truths (Lemon vodka shots)

Shoddy journalism? Is outright fraud to influence a federal election now called shoddy journalism?

Another, even whinier and more lie-laced, recent mention of FR:

Blogged Down [Whine Alert] ^

Posted by Coastal On News/Activism ^ 03/07/2005 6:14:21 PM CST · 14 replies · 283+ views The American Prospect ^ | March 4. 2005 | Garance Franke-Ruta During one especially hectic week in mid-February, the Internet took three scalps in what appeared to be unrelated events. Liberal bloggers forced Talon News White House correspondent James D. Guckert, a k a “Jeff Gannon,” to resign after it was revealed that he was writing under a false name for a Republican activist group (GOPUSA), that he was not really a journalist at all, and that he had posed nude on the Internet in an effort to solicit sex for money. Conservative bloggers, meanwhile, created a firestorm after Eason Jordan, the chief news executive for CNN, made controversial remarks during...

They cannot fathom, for the life of them, why I would retire, in my mid-40s, from my writing job at The San Diego Union-Tribune; why I would forfeit my nationally syndicated column. Well, after nearly 15 years of daily deadlines, writing three to four editorials a week in addition to a column, this seems as good a time as any to walk away from the grind.

That's your FRequency. Did Dan Ra^ther ever drink TANG? Courage.

[LilAngel]

This is a prime example of the good work being done here. It's just this sort of thing that drew me here. I was merely lurking when y'all shattered dan ra^ther. I hope to be a part of the next great accomplishment.

[MadIvan]

[muir_redwoods]
