Are you really a good, conscientious driver, or are your driving habits the behind-the-wheel equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard to everyone else on the road? A recent survey of 10,000 drivers conducted by Hagerty Insurance, a company that insures collector cars, determined the 10 things that exasperate other drivers the most: 10. You're taking a carefree spin down the road when you notice that the car in front of you has its turn signal on ... and on ... and on. Five or 10 miles later, your left eye twitching, you realize the other driver is clueless to the...

Now that Keith Olbermann has banned personal responses to viewer email, it's becoming much more fun for us to dig through the Outlook archives provided to us to find only the most entertaining nuggets. Keith's viewer-cum-sexual partner "KarmaBites1" returns to her Blogger account to reveal the Counterdowner's thoughts on Sienna Miller ("her IQ is about 7") and why men (specifically actors) cheat. It's all yours, after the jump. From: Keith.Olbermann@MSNBC.COM To: Cc: Bcc: Subject: RE: RE #1 Story (Jude Law's nanny) Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2005 12:29 AM Well, I probably should've said she was a nitwit (if you didn't...

Defenders of the popular columnist and constitutional scholar Anne Coulter have recently dismissed charges of plagiarism put up against the brilliant author by reactionary activists. But can these charges be dismissed without further examination? In one striking bit of evidence, her detractors point out that her description of liberals as “confused cone-heads wallowing in their own fecklessness”, bears a striking resemblance to accusations made on Freerepublic.com that liberals are “fraudulent elitists submerged in congealed thinking.” The similarity is haunting. An operative at the Democratic National Committee, who owns a thesaurus, points out that when most persons picture liberals in their...

Alot of people are harping on the Liberal undertones of the new Superman movie. I see something else. I see conservative values creeping into Hollywood. This Lois is no slut. She has been getting knocked around for being an unwed mother but lets look at the facts of the story. In Superman 2 Lois and Clark get married and have sex while he is human. Lois' memory of those events are wiped clean and Superman leaves (Superman 3&4 never happened). Ok Lois ends up pregnant and the man that made her that way is gone. What does she do? Does...

A few hours after a televised display of saccharine warmth and affection between Barbara Walters and Star Jones Reynolds - who yesterday surprised her "View" colleagues by announcing she's leaving in mid-July - their relationship turned very chilly indeed. Never mind Walters' previous public assurances that Jones Reynolds was welcome to stay on the show as long as she wanted. Yesterday, "The View's" alpha female - the show's co-owner and co-executive producer - told me that she lied "to protect Star" from the damaging news that ABC long ago decided not to renew her contract. "I have always told the...

I am not certain what the legal ramifications would be in changing Free Republic from donations to a subscription service. It seems to me the switch may be detrimental to legal issues such as copyrights. If that is true I'd appreciate if someone could briefly explain that to me. However if that is not the case here is my suggestion: I have been wondering about this for some time now and have not seen any discussions about it. So I would like to ask: Is it time for Free Republic to become an online subscription service? Currently, the site is...

Someone tell me how they do this...(notice the Arabic characters)You may have to do it in Mozilla, it wouldn't load right in IE for me. Also, you have to do the substraction. I tried several times just picking a number and it didn't work...more weird.

Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be found by posing the following question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock Cal 40, and you are an expert shot. You have only three seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? ________________________________________________________ Democrat's Answer: Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!...

RADIO SPOT SCRIPT FOR 6/23 Last week, I brought up the recurring theme of the liberal indoctrination of kids. In some cases, adults persuading children to do their dirty work, which includes breaking the law. It just so happens I’ve got another example for you. Last year, a Lexington, Massachusetts man was arrested when he protested the Estabrook Elementary School's refusal to notify him when adults discussed homosexuality or transgenderism with his son, then in kindergarten. Personally, I have problems with the discussion of any kind of sexuality with kindergarten kids, call me old-fashioned. And to be consistent, high schools...

Well, I've been around here for 8 years or so... I don't think I have ever asked Freepers for help for myself. I have asked for help for a person in distress who is from the UK and was having a crisis in Fresno, CA...Freepers came through. So here is my problem...my 18 year old daughter, who was raised by her mother since our split 8 years ago, announced at her high school graduation last Sunday that she will be attending San Francisco State University. I have spoken with her about it, and the conversation was confrontational and unproductive... Please,...

Top One Hundred Facts 1 Only Jack Bauer can fly a plane from the luggage compartment. 2 The city of Los Angeles once named a street after Jack Bauer in gratitude for his saving the city several times. They had to rename it after people kept dying when they tried to cross the street. No one crosses Jack Bauer and lives. 3 Jack Bauer doesn't need to eat, sleep, or use the bathroom because his organs are afraid of making him angry. 4 If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a...

President Bush plans to address the nation on Monday night at 8 PM to con the American public into buying into his ludicrous immigration policies. His approval ratings are at an all-time low, with only 31% of Americans approving of his job performance, while "68% believe the United States is worse off today than it was before Mr. Bush became president." Bush's immigration policies would open the floodgates to illegals, and Americans do not approve -- and it looks like the Senate agrees. Another poll shows support for the House's tough and very sensible immigration legislation, HR 4437: ...69 percent...

The taxes/"fees" on my telephone service just went up ...again. Am I the only one who finds an 80% (79.483) tax just a shade outrageous? Any links to groups fighting this extortion would be appreciated.

"Dow Teeters on the Brink of Record High"I kid you not. On the 2:00 ABC radio network newsbreak, the announcer said the exact words quoted above. How can you say that something doing extraordinarily well is teetering on the brink? Doesn't that suggest impending doom or disaster? This is just an example of a literally endless suppy of proof that the MSM is rotten to the core with bias.

If I were to compose a work of fiction with conservative themes, are there conservative publishers that would give my book consideration, as opposed to mainstream publishers who would discard it because it wasn't written by a liberal? Thanks.

I am reading a book called 'Word Freak' about professional scrabble players. And what did I stumble upon ? If you rearrange the letters in 'President Clinton of the USA' , you get 'To copulate, he finds interns' [comma added] Talk about subliminal messages !
