Free Republic

VIDEOWe had a recent health alert for our friend, Pastor Charles Henrickson. However, as you can see in this video of Charles at the LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) convention in Milwaukee on Monday, he is alive and well and verrrrry informal. It was mentioned in the Free Republic that Charles was scheduled for a PET scan and I am happy to tell you that he has reported on Facebook that scan showed his cancer is limited to his lung and has not spread to the rest of his body. Perhaps we shall have more videos of informal Charles at...

For many years, Pastor Charles Henrickson has posted a good Scriptural sermon here on FR. Please pray for him. He has a health challenge; that's all I can say. Some laudable things about Pastor Henrickson: - he has posted a very good Confessional Lutheran sermon here every week for a long time - he uses his real name - he's openly being a member of Free Republic when so many, even in a conservative church body, would look down upon him for that. I don't know any other MO Synod pastor who does this, and I know quite a few....

So who was the first to coin Barack Obama's "non-campaign" campaign bus tour as "Magical Misery Tour?" Was it Mitt Romney or Rush Limbaugh? Answer: Neither. The first person documented to have so coined the bus tour was my DUmmie FUnnies co-author  Charles Henrickson as you can see documented in his August 9 Free Republic post:#57 (same number as the number of states in the Obama States of America).  Charles also posted a DUmmie FUnnies edition on August 14 by that same name which included a parody song about the "Magical Misery Tour" sung to the tune of Magical Mystery...

It is the joke told by Sarah Palin on Saturday at the Gridiron Club that has spread far and wide. It was featured by many websites and news outlets including Politico and U.S. News & World Report. Here is how the Associated Press reported the joke: Palin targeted her hosts, Democrats and Sen. John McCain's campaign staff, as well as herself.If the election had turned out differently, she said, "I could be the one overseeing the signing of bailout checks and Vice President Biden could be on the road selling his book, 'Going Rogaine.'" Biden has sparse hair. For your...

Okay, okay. I just can't help it. This whole impeachment fever thing on the left is really cracking me up bigtime. So here we go for the FOURTH time in a row with another DUFU edition on this topic. This time it is an impeachment singalong with words provided by that world famous songmeister and Freeper, Charles Henrickson. The first of his songs was inspired by the title of Sunday's DUFU edition, "Impeach! It's Now Or Never" and is titled, IT'S NOW OR NEVER (Time to impeach) sung to the tune of the Elvis hit, It's Now Or Never:...

I don't know why I love him, My Barack, my Obama; I've been charmed, yes really charmed, By his trim physique, so slim and sleek-- I'm awed by his mystique. I don't know why he's running, I don't see any substance; No real plan, flash in the pan, And I've heard such empty words before That when I close my eyes He's just a bore. But I like his face, And I like his voice; Makes my heartbeat race! Makes me feel all moist! I never thought I'd come to this: Obama is my choice. Don't you think it's rather...

(A little change of format in this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies... In yesterday's EDITION of the DUmmie FUnnies I noted that John Edwards' 6 year-old son had to be carefully taught to make fun of poorer kids for wearing shoes sold at Wal-Mart. I suggested that a certain Lutheran songmeister write a song parody on this theme based on the tune of You've Got To Be Carefully Taught from the musical play, "South Pacific." I was referring, of course, to Charles Henrickson, a Lutheran minister from St. Louis who has a penchant for writing song parodies, the number...

'Big Love's' big subject: polygamy Seen one way, it's a domestic comedy distorted by a lens that fleshes out one housewife into three. Seen another, it's a male dream in full flower: one man presiding over three attractive women, each of whose beds he shares according to the schedule his wives draft at the dining room table. "Three days can seem like such an eternity," sighs Margene, Bill Henrickson's newest and youngest, when her night comes around. "Honey, I miss you, too," he consoles her. "If I don't say so, it's 'cause I don't want Nicki and Barb to think...
