My post yesterday on oldest poster uncovered "SuperLuminal", who is still kickin at 90. There may be someone older. Now, who is youngest? Anyone know?

Did you spend it? Did you put it in the bank? Did you help someone out?

I'm not saying there is any problem with his taxes. I'm just saying.... you know... a lot of people are saying there is.... and he's saying he's been audited 12 years in a row.... and we have to make America great again... we need to know. He should go to a court and get this thing settled. We can't just have it out there. He needs to get a judge to look at it and you know... make a ruling. You know... a lot of people are saying it's a problem. I don't know, but a lot of people are...

A pre-filed bill in the Missouri Senate would require parents of a public school student to report to the school if they own a gun. Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal filed SB 549, which reads: This act requires a parent or guardian to notify a school district, or the governing body of a private or charter school, that he or she owns a weapon within 30 days of enrolling the child in school or becoming the owner of a weapon. The written notification only needs to include the names of the parent and any child attending the school and the fact that...

At a press conference last week, someone asked Chris Christie for his views on evolution vs. creationism. "That's none of your business," the New Jersey governor barked in response. This minor incident, which barely rated as news for a few political blogs, offers a glimpse of Christie's personality, which seems increasingly grumpy and snappish. But it says even more about the current state of the national Republican Party, where magical thinking trumps rationality, and even to acknowledge basic realities about the world we live in runs the risk of damaging one's political future. Christie is not part of the natural...

I've wondered this on and off over the years depending on the discussion of the day. So I'm about to ask a theorhetical question that in no way should be taken as "How would someone get to this guy?" but one of genuine curiosity. The recent Stalinistic tactics of the Democratic Senate leadership denouncing an individual citizen expressing free speech and the general lunacy of the left has me asking; what kind of security do you think national radio show hosts have? You may or may not remember Alan Berg, KOA radio show host, that was murdered by white supremecists...

During Fox News coverage of Hurricane Katrina this afternoon, a man being interviewed by Shepard Smith dropped the F-word bomb on the reporter.

So I have been trying to rent an apartment in my home...and all I have answering the ads are boyfriends and girlfriends. No matter what social status, no matter what income level, I am seeing unmarried twenty, thirty and forty year old couples who want to live together. If I question them, they don't even understand why I am asking. These are Christians and Jews. I was so surprised to find that it would be so difficult to find a young married couple. Tell me Dear Freeper...am I totally out of the ballgame to expect to find a young married...

HONOLULU -- A state lawmaker has suggested Hawaii's public schoolteachers be forced to weigh in as part of the fight against obesity in students, KITV in Honolulu reported. State Rep. Rida Cabanilla introduced a resolution in the house requesting that the Board of Education establish an obesity database among public schoolteachers. "You cannot keep a kid to a certain standard that you yourself is not willing to keep," Cabanilla said. It's been documented that more than 20 percent of Hawaii's children are at risk, or are already overweight, according to the station. There are no statistics on teachers. The resolution...

Please help out the curious. I see so many homepages with nothing on them. Please take a minute to go to your homepage, click "this page can be edited" and post a flag, THANK YOU.

Journalists often compare contemporary society to the totalitarian social order described in George Orwell’s disturbing novel 1984. Orwell portrayed the state as being all-powerful, controlling every aspect of citizens' lives. When the novel was first published in 1949, few people could conceive of such a society. Most felt that citizens simply wouldn't allow it. Of course, if the state had attempted to implement a totalitarian society overnight, angry citizens might have prevented it. But the state cautiously enacts its takeovers incrementally, so as to not arouse the public. Also, it is able to persuade people that the agenda it is...

After going to fertility experts, Argentina's Ex President has a boy. He'll be 80 years old when he takes the poor kid to his first day in Primary School. What a jerk. He needs to be doing the great granfather role and not be bringing a poor kid into the world that can't play tennis with his dad...or am I the only one that thinks of this as another crazy man who loves politics. I wonder if his wife wasn't the Queen of Beauty of Chile, if he would have worked so hard to reproduce himself in her!

Bill Clinton thought he was off the hook regarding Danny Williams. Danny is now a teenager and does not know the identify of his father. While growing up, his mother told him his father was Bill Clinton. Arkansas troopers had actually taken Christmas presents to Danny on behalf of Bill. Danny's mother is Bobbi Ann Williams. She happens to be black, and when Clinton knew her in Little Rock, she was a crack cocaine hooker. When Clinton would go for a jog and take a little break from his duties at the governor's mansion, there was at least one occasion...
