Another special feature of Free Republic Highlights is My Two Cents. These are a growing collection of analytical articles and essays written by John Huang2 with a real punch on the latest event to hit the news. He is one of the best and my favorite prognosticator and pundit on Free Republic. He hits a bulls-eye every time he takes on the liberal media, the Democrats in Congress, and world leaders. These articles and essays come out almost daily, so put his column on your 'must do' list. You won't be sorry if you like to keep up with current events. If it's happened and it has been reported in the news, he's written about it.

Let me know what you think and please help keep our thread bumped so those given recognition will have the opportunity to see this thread.

All essays are considered from vanity posts or replies to other posts. The criteria is that it has to be written by a Freeper and posted on Free Republic. If you have written something that you want to be considered give me a headsup and I will do my best to read it and it will be considered.

My apologies to those Freepers who have written masterpieces that just got missed by me and a few scouts that are ever watchful for the essay that is special and expressed well.

Anyone can be a Freeper Scout. All you have to do when you run across that special post is send me the thread number and send it to me by or leave me a message on the thread.

Thanks very much for the Bonus Byte selection and particularly for grabbing this one. I think it came from a thread that was later pulled. I was disappointed because I had some decent discussion with someone on the thread.

in a vanity search, how do I find the "Bonus bytes"? Apparently I said something brilliant, but I don't know what it is. Help! ;)
