What the heck is that? Lemme guess.
Pre Sunrise or a 6.5 k bump.
Trying to go back to sleep bump.
Gonna check the news here bump.
Why is tv news so darn dumb?
Wouldn’t be cool if you could turn on tv and get FRepublic news?
Kristen reporting from DC hah that would be great.
I saw the clip on tv of Maher mayhem and to be quite homest with ya’ll I think the guy staged it for ratings. It was just too fake in human reaction.
Good nite pre dawn bump.

Taking a bit of a break from FR the last couple of months but I’m sure to be back at some point.
Here’s my contribution in gratitude for FR being here for me over the last (as of yesterday) six years.

Hello,
I donated $50.00 last night, but did not get an e-mail confirmation. Could you or someone check to make sure it went through? I am getting ready to leave, so I may not be able to reply.
Thanks in advance,

Let's try to equal our previous donation!
Bring up "nursery rhymes" on your search engine for inspiration.....and have at it! What a fun and easy way for you to make an additional donation to our favorite forum.
Hurry, the contest closes Friday night. Start those creative juices flowing NOW.
Good luck to all you Longfellows and Longladies!

"Hey diddle diddle

Ahoy, Synbad, not bad!
In fact, your parodiacal (!) idea, your punctuation, your rhythmical meter are just about perfecto!
You're definitely in the minaret for Best Rhyme Award!
Wow, so many freeper poets are so good that we hardly have any verses in the Worst Rhyme category. C'mon you poopy poets out there.....write a pathetic poem and post it. You can win $5 for the FReepathon just for posting it and another 20 bucks if you become the wurst of The Worst.
Synbad, you won't have to wait a thousand and one nights for the outcome. The contest closes Friday night at midnight.....and the winners will be selected and posted here on Saturday evening after many eeny meeny miny throes on the part of Mother Freep.
Good luck to you, Synbad.....you just raised $5 plus a possible $20 for the FReepathon by posting this seaworthy masterpiece!
(.......P.S. There's a limit of two poems per freeper, so you can take another knick, knack, paddy whack at it.

Ammar al-Hakim, the son of Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, the leader of the Supreme Islamic Council, left, Iraq's largest Shiite party and Sunni sheik Ahmed Abu Risha, leader of the US-backed anti al Qaida revolt in Anbar, talk during their meeting in Ramadi, 115 kilometers (70 miles) west of Baghdad, Iraq, on Sunday, Oct. 14, 2007. The visit by al-Hakim provided the latest evidence that key Iraqi politicians were working toward national reconciliation independently from Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government.

Hush little Hillary dont say a word
Everything you say is quite absurd
We all know you cant recall
Billing records, floozies, et al.
And if those floozies dont go away
James Carville will make them pay
Slander, libel, theyre trailer trash
Heres a c-note in their grasp
Bimbo eruptions were your forte
Tapping phone lines, hey thats okay
Ring wing conspiracy you did blame
While all the time Bubba played that game
He told the world I dont know that girl
And ducked way down when that ashtray you hurled
Im a victim look at me,
Just dont mention Lewinsky
Hush little Hillary dont say a word
Nothing you utter needs to be heard
