SNIPPET: “Officials with the Federal Bureau of Investigation then arrested 31-year-old suspect Yavuz Burke, a native of Turkey who became a Canadian citizen last year. He was formerly known as Adam Leon.”

The FBI was hot on his heels and he decided to fly to them!

"“not a happy individual,”"

Is that code for heterosexual?

“It’s bad here too, lots of layoffs here in Caterpillar country.”

It doesn’t look better for Cat for some time.

A good friend of mine has a lowbed service and hauls construction equipment in the western US and in the last 6 months he’s been lucky to get 3 jobs a week when he usually did 3-4/day.

if he thought he was escaping from a socialist country to a non-socialist country he was sadly mistaken.

““not a happy individual,””


Translation: failed to affix an Obama sticker to the plane
before stealing it.

I see you are in Congo now.

I was registered with the Illinois flag and then F.R. started posting the last comment from the state site onto the main page. I got tired of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling just to get to news/activism. It seems there are some Illinois posters who love to copy and paste really long replies.

I tried to find out how to resign from the state site and couldn't figure it out but I did know how to change locations and figured there wouldn't be a whole lot of traffic from the Congo, so now I fly the Congo flag instead of the Illinois flag and so far there have been zero postings appear on my news/activism page from the Congo.

“though officials did not indicate a reason for the name change.”

Maybe a waterboarding session would clear up that confusion...;)

“Theft?”

Thought that was an honorable profession since Zero was elected.

My dad was in a NYC bar in the mid-fifties when some drunk kept telling him and his friends that he was a pilot. They didn't believe him, so he stormed out of the bar.

About three hours later, at 3am, the guy walked back in the bar just as drunk as before and told them he had proof that he was a pilot. Then people started running into the bar and they heard sirens, so they went outside and right in front of the bar on St. Nicholas Ave was a stolen Cessna. He landed it right on the street.

Then the cops came in and arrested him for stealing the plane from Teterboro Airport, about ten miles away.

I actually doubted the story until somebody sent me a pdf of an article from the NY Times, Oct. 1 1956 that told the exact story.

"Since April 6, 2009" Welcome to Free Republic.

You're not from San Francisco by your screen name, are you?

Or do you like charred beef?

Cheers!
