What a timely article: did you see Paul Wolfkewincz (sp?)'s press conference today? Lots of new data there about who is containing who.

Aeronaut! Thanks for the planes yesterday.

Pippin: are you staying away from those anti-Canadian threads? ;)

[WVNan]

I saw where you are having snow. We're not. Happy white stuff!

[FreeTheHostages]

{{Molly}} Thanks for saying "Thank you for all you do!" to Billie. The more I find out what she puts up with, the more I don't want to know!

Re being supportive, I was particularly happy yesterday that Pippin popped into the thread late in the night and said that people were being mean in another thread so she wanted to come back here! :) Not that I'm not capable of doing serious battle in other threads, but there's got to be consistently nice places on the web and this is one of them! I was just so happy Pippin said that.

If you're up at "Nightline" time tonight, tune in. Ted Koppel will be doing a "Nightline Special" from my hometown tonight. As of last night, rumor is they are having a hard time giving tickets away.

At first they mailed invitations; had no takers. They then announced where to go to get a ticket. Now they are "first come, first serve" but yesterday they were trying to give tickets away.

I won't be there!

It will be in Jasper and , of course, will be addressing racism.

Last night there was a documentary interviewing people during the Byrd trials. Everybody they showed lived in a trailer, was obese, was a red-neck, or a white male who had been to prison and came back a white supremicist with body tatoos.

The only person I know who was interviewed is the radio announcer. He lives in a house, is not overweight, and has not been to prison. He is a former Jasper Co. Republican Chair.

!! Great cartoon. Thanks for posting it.

[Pippin]

No, No more Canada bashing threads for me!

You may have anything you want, pretty Lady....except my fur. It's very cold today.: )

LOL. Ladyx, is everyone here certain that he knows he's not really a wolf?

[FreeTheHostages]

I'm resolved not to be annoyed at the Europeans.

They're irrelevant. I mean, whoop-te-doo, the fancy-pants French Foreign Legion's not going to help! GASP. It's not like those guys do anything other than roll over and play dead anyway.

(I'm half serious. The French won't fight?!! It's almost laughable if they actually did.)

[WVNan]

Sorry your life has been complicated lately.

[Pippin]

Hi, Nan!

[FreeTheHostages]

"My boyfriend is watching an important chess tournament today on my computer"

Now THAT sounds real exciting LOL!!!

Actually, I confess it was. We're both very very serious chess players. And the tournament is a very prestigious one. And guess who is in second place?!! JUDITH POLGAR!!! She's only one-half point behind Anand. So there's a chance, at least, of a woman winning a major international chess tournament. But just watching her play is fun. We got on www.chessclub.com's internet chess club, received the audio from a webbroadcast called "CHESS FM" and were able to watch the board in real time while receiving audio from Grandmasters on her game. It actually was a bonding moment. Hee hee. Um, I guess you had to be there. But you know I'm telling the truth, right? I mean, who would make up such an alibi?

[FreeTheHostages]

"We have ourselves a LEADER!!"

Exactly. And some very good military guys and equipment to follow. Who needs the French?

[WVNan]

Good day to ye Miss Scarlett. Great to see ya.

Wish I had your resolve...you're right, of course...they are irrelevant.

Seems to me Dubya also sees it your way..good for both of you!

I saw a clip of Ed Harris, the 'actor', on FOXNews last night...he was really belittling our President in the best, most infantile Hollywood tradition...he's a whimpering, strutting, drunken fool whom I've just put on my list of 'fools to avoid seeing in the movies'.

WOW! They cancelled school??? My oh my. I grew up in Vermont where it could get quite cold. They never cancelled school just on account of the cold.

I heard it was like 17 degrees below in Fargo. Gots to respect the people of Fargo. That temperature, I'd be going outside only wearing a special spacesuit bubble thing or something.

[Molly Pitcher]

Thanks for the compliment, Louie..But remember: we're conservative first, and second, we happen to be gorgeous;^))

FOH - thanks! Just wanted to get that idea of Billie's tremendous contribution across as early as I could this a.m.

And Lady, what a lovely, moving prayer. Thanks so much!

[FreeTheHostages]

Good post.

Here's another idea. What the Germans and the French really covet from us is our tourist dollars.

We should all, on our European vacations, avoid France and go straight to Scotland, England, Ireland, and Australia.

Now, as to funding said European vacation, do you think Louie can do some special Euro conterfeit graphics for us? :)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Thanks for the compliment, Louie! Aqua said she wanted a frontline report.
I'm confused about what they're about, obviously, so it's hard for me to report.

For "not knowing" - you did a heck of a job convincing ME. : )

Those leftists really aren't some of "Freepers Finest" though, huh? That's for sure!!

Amen to that!

...and Billie says I'm not allowed to apologize anymore so as penance I did battle-of-wits last night with The Thin Man. (Man oh man, that guy is good!)

He's the best! You should have chosen me to do battle with....you'd never lose. LOL

Oh, and what Billie says is law. : )
