Slideshow of Pumpkin Wall on Clement Avenue in Charlotte NC. I guess all the Starbucks drinking, Volvo driving yuppies that have infiltrated this region find this "utterly inspiring". Take this thing 20 miles down the road where the good ole boys still live and this thing would make for some real good target practice.

Ah what the hell..... OBAMA SOLVES FORMAT'S LAST THEOREM WITH AN ABACUS AND A SACK OF NICKELS!!!

Not really much to say except, WOW! This day will live in FReeper infamy.

LOS ANGELES — Carrie Prejean Miss October in 2010 Conservative Women’s Calendar Carrie Prejean isn’t going away anytime soon. In fact, the controversially dethroned Miss California can be yours for an entire month of October in 2010. The Clare Both Luce Policy Institute, a conservative women’s group based outside of Washington, DC has just released its fifth annual Great American Conservative Women Calendar which features top women leaders in the Conservative Movement, and this time around Prejean’s face will be in the top spot. "I was so honored to be in the calendar as one of the great American conservative...

With his highly anticipated Octagon debut set for this Wednesday’s episode of “The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights,” Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson talks about the large bull’s eye that he dawned across his back during his tenure on the reality show. “They respected me. They probably talked crap behind my back, but they respected me,” Kimbo said of his popularity inside the “TUF” crib. “I knew that all I could was work my ass off and get better so I could handle my business when the time comes.” Thus far, the street fighting legend has appeared on both of this seasons episodes...

Since our deal leader ignored National Day of Prayer and Lent but acknowledges Ramadan in the name of "diversity" and "we-are-so-sorry-for-being-bad-mean-americans" let us have our own Ramadan celebration. Post the pics of your favorite food (preferably pork product but anything you like) or anything that you plan on eating or cooking out this weekend. I plan on stuffing myself. And answer me this.... what good is a "fast" if you know you're gonna eat later?

The Chicago Police Department has instituted a major change in policy regarding the use of deadly force. Effective next Monday, police officers will be able to fire their guns under circumstances where they previously could not. The new policy, from police Supt. Jody Weis and confirmed by WBBM Newsradio 780 Wednesday morning, allows police officers to shoot at fleeing vehicles if the driver or passengers are suspected of committing a felony. The old policy allowed officers only to shoot at vehicles that pose a threat to them or others, such as if the driver were trying to run down the...

The President of the United States told its citizens that its OK to resist law enforcement. The President of the United States, on primetime television, gave its citizens a free pass not to cooperate with law enforcement officers. The President of the United States stated that a disproportionate number of minorities "are arrested" implying that they are arrested for no other reason except for being a minority. Did I hear that right?

()    www.fredpac.com  info@fredpac.com    TO:                  FredPAC Supporters FROM:            Fred ThompsonIt is expected that Senators will say that they want to wait and see what Judge Sotomayor will say at her confirmation hearing before they decide how they will vote. This is understandable, I suppose, but from my experience, what a nominee says during his or her hearing, while certainly not irrelevant, is one of the least important considerations upon which they should base their vote. Nominee’s judicial and professional record, along with their public statements and reputation for integrity, are much more reliable indicators as to the kind of judge...

An executive from a member of the American Coalition for Free Trade in Tires says the duties that the United States International Trade Commission (U.S.) wants to apply to certain consumer tire imports from China would make the tires "non-competitive." Last week, the ITC proposed that a 55% duty be placed on Chinese tire imports during the first year of sanctions, with a 45% duty the following year and a 35% duty applied the third year. Those duties would be in addition to current duties. The United Steelworkers originally petitioned the federal government to impose a quota of 21 million...

The U.S. Department of Transportation has proposed a new replacement tire label that would include, for the first time, information about the tire's impact on fuel economy and carbon dioxide emission reductions. The proposal, which was put forth by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), also would provide customers "with two other key pieces of tire performance information: wet weather traction and tread wear," according to NHTSA officials. All three ratings would be displayed on a removable label attached to the replacement tire at the point of sale. The new ratings also will appear on the federal government's www.safercar.gov...

Great rant! Here is the rant by comedian James Gregory on the Johnboy and Billy morning show. They say it is their most requested audio ever. I searched for text but could not find it. If you get some time, it is a must-listen.... great rant! Streaming audio here. "...all these countries hate us and Obama and the democrats are appeasing these countries that hate us. You know what?

A funny story I would like to share with you all..... We had Thanksgiving at my grandmother's.... very traditional southern Thanksgiving with more food than an army can eat. Per tradition, all the children's names were put into a hat and drawn for gifts at Christmas. They write their name and what they would like below their name. "barbie"... "monster truck"... whatever. My little nephew who is 11 years old wrote "ammo". Well his mother told him that wasn't good enough so he fixed it and wrote "22 ammo". You can imagine his mother is getting irritated so she tells...

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front blamed Tuesday the Philippine government for the current crisis affecting peace negotiations between the GRP and MILF panels. In a statement, MILF Chaiman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim said the government should adhere to the consensus points and a draft proposal on the issue of ancestral domain. He added that such moves could avert the possible disintegration of the peace process and may spark another round of talks. Ebrahim said government's failure to take steps to prevent the pullout of the Malaysian-led International Monitoring Team (IMT) in Mindanao could lead to the total failure of the...

I recieved this email from the Sue Myrick campaign last week. She's my rep and I vote for her everytime..... Dear (my name), If our economy isn’t in recession, it sure feels like it. The subprime market failed because, in an effort to make even more money, lenders gave loans to people who clearly couldn’t afford them. Subprime homebuyers are also to blame because they signed for larger houses than they could really afford. A booming housing market and insatiable spending can no longer mask our troubles. America is a slave to foreign oil. America out produced every country in...

If turning 100 doesn't win you the right to celebrate with busty waitresses in tight clothes, Iowa resident John Persinger can't imagine what does. The centenarian rang in his entry into the triple digits at Hooters on Wednesday, according to a report by The Des Moines Register. His late wife Vi wouldn't have objected, since she was a regular with him at Hooters, the infamous chain known for the cleavage it serves up with beer and buffalo wings. The Register notes that Persinger is one of only a few thousand American men that are 100 or older. "I don't know...
