Is that the only word they know?

They don't really know that one, either.

Cigar?!!? Oh man, you get to enjoy a stogie while Freepin? I am a charter subscriber to Cigar Aficionado, a long-time cigar smoker (long before it was a fad). But I still have to go outside to enjoy and in these winter months I'm lucky to have 1-2 a month......

They were protesting the "Fascist Bush Regime."

All the while not realizing the irony of their phrase since they weren't arrested, thrown in jail or shot on the spot for protesting. If this is a fascist dictatorship regime, Bush better get better at it!!

Maybe GHWB is a Freeper :o)

Could be. If so, just want to share my late daddy's favorite expression with him..."the apple doesn't fall far from the tree".

I'm guessing that will be changed when I'm married, tho we have discussed me having a den/music/bar/smoking room. Or a guest house out back for me to indulge in my vices. ;)

Oh thank you. There will be some updated photos to follow from the Ball, sans my kids (and husband for that matter), they all stayed home.

I'm such a girl with my drinks that I was upset they didnt have Malibu Rum for my Malibu Bay Breeze. Anyway my friend got vodka for me as a substitute and then for the third one, the bartender offered her rum instead and she replied, "Oh she won't know the difference anyway." Gee, thanks, lol.

Sounds like "Direct Action" over in Lansing/East Lansing. Awhile back some jokers(*) there chained themselves to a gas station pump protesting "oil". They have the bongos, bullhorns, ugly people(outside and inside), and everything else as well. "USA is Fascist" was one of their more tamer chants.

* I apologies to jokers for insulting them.

Anyway, cops in full riot gear showed up and seperated the crowd and we just so happened to be on the right side of the street, or else we were not going through the checkpoint anymore. I think the police just got fed up with those idiots.

I got that feeling too. I was on the way to one of the balls last night. About 2 blocks from the ball entrance the cops set up a security parameter and they were only letting people with tickets in. Our group was walking there from the nearest metro and some flea-bitten hippie protester types started slithering along side us as if they thought they could slip in with about a dozen or so Bush supporters that were walking towards the door. We all had tuxedos and fancy clothes on so they really stuck out - a smelly unshaven scraggling looking guy in hippie rags from the resale shop and a short haired abortion banshee type in a sweatshirt. But they were trying to slip in anyway.

As we approached the cops they asked for tickets and were very polite to us. They quickly spotted the hippies though and pulled them aside. The male hippie started getting irate and claimed he was just passing through, at which point the cops got right in his face and escorted them both off in the opposite direction. We all thought it was great.

A few minutes later just before we got to the entrance Bush's motorcade of about 10 cars surrounded by cops came driving up and passed right in front of us while turning into the carport. Everybody waved and he waved back.

Thanks for your first hand report.

Especially like the part about George Bush Sr. waving at FR signs.

Sounds like the Ball was just dandy. Alas, I attended the last one but could only listen to the live feed from Doug from Upland on the 'puter this yr. and kept wishing I was there.

Bob Barr sounded just as enthusiastic as he was when I got to meet him and Gary Aldrich at the last Ball.

FReepers rule!!!!

Nice Report!

I have asked the leftist rats "what is a fascist?", they either don't know or spew some wrong rhetoric.
