Woo hoo!! Open all night!! FR never closes!!

Well, it's O'Dark Thirty and I'm still up so we might as well get started early on our FReepathon!!

Lots of great things happening. The surge is working. The Iraqi army is trained and starting to take over some of the fighting. Some of our troops will be relieved soon. The Iraqi citizens are growing tired of the Islamic extremists and are starting to kick them out. Things are getting generally better throughout Iraq. FRed Thompson has officially entered the race. The pro-abort, gun grabbing Rudy Giuliani is faltering. The antiwar moonbat Ron Paul is quickly rushing to the top of the one percenters (assuming you count the lib vote and the spammers, LOL). Cindy Sheehan can't muster a crowd. The Democrats are deeply saddened.

And Free Republic, the premier pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-national defense, pro-limited government, pro-America independent grassroots conservative site is still on the air and kicking lib butt!!

Go FReepers!! Go Thompson/Hunter!!

Thank you all very much for your support!!

Time for dust off the Wisconsin ping list and the checkbooks.

If it's the FReepathon, it must be time for Fair Funkles.

In that spirit, I'm declaring a Fair Funkle in 5.

Not a chance bump......

Not a chance bump......

And I had it set up sooooo well too.

[steveegg]

I guess we need to repost the rules:

Rules for Funkeling.

In order to score a Fair Funkle on Free Republic, a FReeper must observe the following rules:

1) The thread chosen must have been active within 1/2 hour prior to declaring an attempt.

2) The FReeper must delare a "Fair Funkle" attempt in his/her first post.

3) The FReeper must post count downs from 4 to 1 (the declaration post counts as the first post) at no less than 5 minute intervals.

4) It is the duty of any freeper seeing the declaration to post a "bump", thus ending the attempt.

5) The successful FReeper may, at the fifth and last post, declare in any derisive terms desired, "I did it! A Fair Funkle!"

6) Scoring of Fair Funkles will be by a jury of FReeper peers (the Funkle Committee), and will include: time intervals between count down posts, total time consumed and thread popularity prior to the Fair Funkle.

7) Scoring disputes will be decided by the Funkle Committee and may not be appealed.

8) The awarding of the annual Fairest Funkle Of Them All trophy will be decided by the Funkle Committee.

It appears that I followed the rules.....

[steveegg]

That’ll learn this linebacker to try and run like he’s, oh, Jon Ryan or Tony Romo :-)

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Well, you might get your shot. I have to go cut the grass at Mom’s. Won’t be back for at least a couple hours........

[steveegg]

Very tempting, especially since it’s wet here. Bad thing is, I’ve got a few other things that need to get done before I head to DC on Thursday.
