Good Morning.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - LIVE THREAD.

It is designed for general conversation about the events of the day. In depth discussion of events should be left to individual threads - but links to the threads or other articles is highly encouraged. This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.

Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A breif description of what the graphic is would help:

Special thanks to null and void for keeping these running on the weekend, to all of you for keeping these threads alive, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course, Belly Girl...

Okay guys, real quick, pls turn on your close caption on your TV's for Fox News. You'll see that at 11 pm it stops captioning. Doesn't that suck?

Up jumped a monkey from a coconut grove,
Was a mean little monkey, had his fists in a glove.

He lined a hundred monkeys up against the wall,
Bet five bucks he could beat 'em all.

Whipped ninety-eight till his fists turned blue,
Stepped back, jumped up, and beat the other two.

"To see the press being so rude and hostile to Ari and Rumsfeld, accusing THEM of setting high expectations when they did not is so exasperating",

I know what you mean, but like Rush has said don't get in a tither (not his exact words) just hope they keep doing what they are doing because the old school democrats are beginning to see the Clymers for what they are.

My father who has been a Democrat all his life just the other day said those Democrats in office are just trying to hurt Bush's Administration and I don't like what they are doing.

OH no!!! I hadn't heard that yet.

I'm in EST and it's still crawling (like some Dems who have had to eat their words).

We sang a bawdier version from what I remember. Had several reports to our commander while running PT that our singing was NOT appropriate.

Thanks! I've been emailing them since last summer. Since they stopped captioning 24/7 this past Tuesday, I've emailed several Fox News email addresses at least once a day. Not getting any response at all. Other FReepers have been emailing them as well. What else can we do? The wknd is coming and I will not be able to get any news at all from Fox News. This really sucks. But thanks anyways!

Back for a few minutes - catching up. Darned phone - grrrr.

Just sent that article from a former Human Shield to a friend! (I scroll and work while talking on phone).

Why? Isn't that the movie theater? Why does that look bad for us?

[merrin]

If I understand your meaning, I'd think this (post 3367) would fall under "loose lips."

What state are you in? I'm in Tennessee. Besides a west coast FReeper tells me her CC stops captioning right at 8 pm which is the same time as 11 EST. Is it really still CC??
