Rush: Do you know what it takes to be in the top 1%? Take a stab. What is it? Top 10%: $50,000 a year or more you are in the top 10% of wage earners. Take a stab at the floor, the minimum income that qualifies to be in the top 1%. Brian, what do you think it is? (interruption) You're close. He said, "$500,000." It's $343,000 a year. If you make $343,000 a year, you are in the top 1%.

Atlantan slain on street in Iraq Tireless volunteer found his calling as U.S. diplomat on education mission By BILL TORPY The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 11/26/04 In 2002, Jim Mollen of Dunwoody worked tirelessly for Hands on Atlanta to line up volunteers for dozens of public service projects on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. "I enjoy going out and performing the service on the front line," Mollen told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. At the time, "front line" was a figure of speech. On Wednesday, Mollen, 48, was shot to death in Baghdad as he drove back alone to the Green...

I searched the web for info on Greg - nothing. I was watching Shep Smith last night and he kept repeating that he would "reveal" what had happened to Greg Kelly. Either I fell asleep and missed it or he never revealed Greg's whereabouts. Does anyone know what happened to him? I'm getting tired of only seeing Rick Levanthal...thanks!

Hi All! Report from the Rally: Glenn Beck said from the stage that we had 25,000 people in Centennial Olympic Park for the Rally! It was incredible! The signs were fantastic - lots of anti-French signs: "First Iraq, then France", "Screw Jacques Chiraq" and others! I have tons of pics to post if I can figure out how to get them up! GOOD JOB GEORGIA!

Trying to fend off this Bush hater is proving exhaustive - if anyone can help me with good refutations, I would be thrilled....(see below) With Bush and animals his record seems rather suspect. As a kid there were accounts of him placing m-80's in the mouths of frogs and blowing them up. He also accepted an award with the Safari Club International which promotes the killing of exotic and rare animals (to become a highly decorated trophy hunter in that organization you have to kill over 322 different species of animals). Actually his authorized and unauthorized biography might be two...

Does anyone have an update on when we can hear live streaming radio from wabc again (Sean Hannity)? Or is there another way around this mess? I e-mailed Flipper a few weeks ago and she said there was no end in sight. Thanks!

Ours was a moving Freep! We had about 20 people at the corner of Peachtree and Lenox Rd - probably the busiest intersection in Atlanta on a Saturday. We took some abuse but also got a lot of thumbs up. Half of us decided to pack it in and head down to the 11th circuit court to protest some more. By this time, there were only about 6 of us, but we did our best to yell and scream while the CNN talking head was on live telling us about how Bush got the shaft from the 11th Circuit (we ...

Atlanta Freepers - can't find confirmation of today's freep on loudcitizen.com. We're still planning on showing up - please confirm exact location. Let's kick some liberal butt.

Georgia Freepers: I just called Senators Miller and Cleland and also wrote up letters to both. It doesn't sound like they are busy this morning. I'm pasting in the letter I wrote and their contact information. Let's FReep them now with faxes and calls. These two Senators are decent men and might heed our calls: The Honorable Senator Zell Miller 100 Colony Square Suite 300 1175 Peachtree Street N.E. Atlanta, GA 30361 Phone 404-347-2202 Fax 404-347-2243 In Washington: United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Phone 202-224-7272 Fax 202-228-2090 Zell doesn't have an e-mail address that I could find. If you'd ...

FR Atlanta Chapter - can you please clarify the time for the rally - I've seen it differently on e-mails and other discussion groups. THANKS!

Need help - has anyone seen or heard in the news of a class action type lawsuit for any one of us to join in on across the country that alleges that our "will" (the infamous "will of the people") has been thwarted due to the dubious "recount" of 3 Florida counties? This court, in essence, has told the rest of the country that the "will of the people" rests in Broward, Miami-Dade and PMC. I would think that we would have a huge Federal lawsuit on our hands. How can a National Election be decided by a biased FL ...
