Drudge is currently flashing a story about an imminent terror threat against German citizens in the country. This morning, the State of Alabama was the announced winner of a $4 billion steel mfg. plant to be located in Mobile, Al by German steelmaker ThyssenKrupp. There was supposed to be a press conference and public announcement with Governor Riley and the CEO and other representatives of ThyssenKrupp. About an hour ago, traffic was temporarily halted on I-85 West in Montgomery as approximately 50 police cars and motorcycles passed by along with 1 Humvee. Information is locked up tight, and none of...

This morning I received the following Nigerian scam-type letter in my Freepmail box. It was sent by a Freeper named abi000, whose account was established May 16, 2005. I don't know why a Freeper would be sending a message like this thru Freepmail, but since there was no way to report the abuse, I thought I'd just do it on a thread and let the moderators decide what to do. Here is the message: Madam Abigel Kabila From abi000 | 06/02/2005 9:24:49 AM EDT replied Madam Abigel Kabila Tel:225 05-80-59-64 Introduction. My Dear, It is my pleasure to contact you...

Can't get on to Google, yes I am logged on.

There has been an explosion of some sort near the White House, apparently a small one. I'm at a conference about one block from the White House and arrived at 9 AM. Half the people who were supposed to attend have not been able to get here. Those arriving report 17th Street closed traffic and other areas blocked off. Someone said they heard a transformer exploded. Others report fire and smoke. I can see no fire or smoke from here, but my view is to the west.

Attn DC Freepers: On the FRONT PAGE of today's business section, there is an article..."Big News Media Join in Push to Limit Use of Unidentified Sources" ( an excellent article, BTW..I did a search and it hasn't been posted as yet..can someone please do so?) there is a pic which I am positive is of the DC Freepers protesting a few days ago. I recognize the sign.."Newsweek Lied/ People Died"

Can anyone help? When I click on a link I often get the message: Error Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server and the URL that pops up is: http://www.adsourcecorp.com/404_not_found.htm Any help would be appreciated. mcenedo

Rush says deal fell apart. Dems offered to give up or down vote on all 7 current Appeals Ct. nominees, and that they wouldl only use future filibuster on "extreme" candidates or under "extraordianry" circumstances. The problem -- how do you define "extreme" or "extraordinary"?

Just Reported -- Frist and Reid broke off filibuster negotiations tonight -- Both said, "stick a fork in it, we're done" (or words to that effect). Reid is quoted as saying that Frist wanted "all or nothing." Hmm -- sounds good to me! Wednesday is D-Day. Better start loading up Fat Man and Little Boy! We're going thermonuclear!
