Comedienne Rosie O'Donnell has hit back after she was named the world's most annoying celebrity by insisting all stars are irritating.

Mr. & Mrs. Fred Thompson will be interviewed on Hannity & Colmes tonight.

"Head On - Apply Directly To The Forehead." This commercial drives me crazy! Tell me I'm not alone!

March 9, 2007 For people who have trouble dealing with an alarm clock telling them it’s time to get up, here’s one potential solution – it’s an alarm clock that runs away and torments you until you get up. When Clocky was just a design concept it received a lot of attention, but now it’s a real product. When the alarm sounds, Clocky will start beeping. You can set him to run away immediately the alarm sounds, or you can set it to snooze once for your chosen number of snooze minutes and if you don't get up, Clocky will...

Getting damn sick of every other post from some ninny trying to sound smart and important. Go get a blog you people, nobody cares!

Registered voters are very popular with campaign workers in the final hours before the mid-term election. Both the Democrats and Republicans in Pima County put an army of volunteers to work as the deadline drew closer. The politically passionate citizens were working the phones, dialing for votes in a last minute rush to get their candidates into office. They do it every election year but this year reports show political candidates are running more ads and making more calls than ever before. They believe it'll bring out the vote, but some voters say it's making them think about skipping the...

"Star Wars: The Phantom Menace alien Jar Jar Binks has been voted the most annoying film character of all time. In a poll of 5,000 movie fans by UK website LoveFilm.com, the computer generated Binks beat out competition from Andie MacDowell's character, Carrie, in Four Weddings And A Funeral. Third most irritating is Rowan Atkinson's Bean, followed in fourth place by Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective character. In fifth place is Ben Stiller's White Goodman in Dodgeball."

It's time to watch the Today Show. The best news the annoying perky one could get is that her old show is doing better without her. Then, after a week or two, stop watching again. FreeRepMates Unite!

THESE ARE THE SENATORS WHO VOTED TO GIVE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PARTY, THESE POLITICIANS NEED TO BE DEFEATED IN 2006, 2008 OR 2010, WHENEVER THEY NEXT COME UP FOR OFFICE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW; THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION -- THAT IS, UNLESS THEY DO NOT MIND SHARING THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY WITH FOREIGN WORKERS WHO NEVER PAID INTO IT AND AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE BEING LEFT OUT. Grouped by Home State Alabama: Alaska: Stevens (R-AK), Yea Arizona: McCain (R-AZ), Yea Arkansas: Lincoln (D-AR), Yea Pryor (D-AR),...

I am curious why none of the media covers the most important aspect of the Malvo shootings. If you look at Newspapers on the dates when the shootings are underway you discover something I find quite interesting. The shootings begin to dominate the news the day before the debate on the Iraq war starts and they catch them the day after the declaration of war??? If you ask most people "do you remember the debate about starting the second Iraq war", they will all answer "yes of course". But if you followup with the question "name one point in the...

I recently received a reply to a post that stated: "This should be beneath a "freeper". Sad." So I asked.. what is it that makes a FReeper? My reply (and I will admit was tasteless) was also questioning. It stirred controversy and was removed? Why Moderators? Can you not tell me? Did it not meet with your "FReeper" mentality? According to all posted guidelines it should be listed but no, you chose to delete it. Yes.. I'm the first one IBTZ, I'm sure you'll nick me for speaking up..

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity. In other words, it's OK to flame someone on a mailing list or in a blog as long as you do it under your real name. Thank Congress for small favors, I guess. This ridiculous prohibition, which would likely imperil much of Usenet, is buried in the so-called Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act. Criminal penalties include stiff fines and two years in prison.

Yaa, you repukes are not doing so well, huh? Imagine, you repukes control the presidency, both houses of Congress, and appointed 7 of the 9 Supreme Court justices. Yet the Supreme Court thre out sodomy laws in all 50 states and recognized the right of government to seize land for any reason. And you couldn't pass your Social Security changes could you? Sorry, that was your last shot. Come November, we're going to start seeing more Democratic faces in the House. It's the end for you guys. You guys are celebrating when Bush's numbers go *up* to 45%. Then Faux...

Bush’s giant Right Wing Noise Machine (RWNM) loves to preach about the Bush economic miracle. In fact, the RWNM’s current thinking is Bush doesn’t spend enough time talking about his economic triumphs. If only he did, then everyone would fall in line and believe in the great Bush economic miracle. There is one problem with this argument: it’s a lie. Any way you look at the Bush economy, it comes up short. Today, I want to compare Bush’s job creation record with other economic recoveries. As usual, Bush comes up way short. The national Bureau of Economic Research has identified...

Why does anybody support George w Bush as President? He is clearly the worst President I have ever seen -- a complete disaster. And before you say anything, I have been a registered Republican for 25 years.

After reading all of the crap that people have been saying regarding Adult Private Social Clubs, I felt that I had to post an article and give my opinion. I am sick and tired of all the religous groups that are saying that there are drugs, prostitution, minors, non-consenting people, and just immoral people at these clubs! First of all, who do these people think they are to decide what is morally right or wrong for me? I believe that I have a good set of morals. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and...

Lies of omission about 9/11 -- stoking fears of terrorism THEY WANT YOU TO BE AFRAID The following post was censored by freerepublic.com shortly after it was posted on their "public" forum on 9/11/04. That forum is designed to appear as though it is a community forum open to all, but this post only received three responses before it and its replies were deleted, and a repeat posting at 4 am PST on 9/20/04 didn't stay online for 5 minutes! Someone is apparently watching closely over the content of the freerepublic.com forums and censoring them 24/7 (though they might have...

A shop manager's annoyance over problem teenagers hanging around his store is being tackled head on with a noise nuisance device. The Mosquito, which sends out high-pitched soundwaves, is persuading gangs to move on. Robert Gough, who runs the Spar shop in Barry, says the new nine-inch box is a success. As treasurer of PACT (Preventing Anti-Social Crime Together), Mr Gough hopes more businesses will be helped. It's like a buzzing noise. I didn't know where it was coming from, it's not terrible. Shopper Gerda Hunt The box, placed on the outside wall of the store, emits an 80-decibel pulsing...

The end of free Internet content will come when Web browsers start blocking online advertisements by default, a DoubleClick executive has warned. Bennie Smith, the online advertising network's privacy chief, told ZDNet Australia the popularity of tools like Adblock -- an extension to the Mozilla Firefox browser -- which makes blocking online ads simple was tied to "a negative vibe against advertising in general". However, only the online arena is able to easily produce and widely distribute such tools, he added. He said if a similar tool could be produced for newspapers, it would not be accepted by consumers. "You'd...

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

Gas costs so much. I cant afford it. Why want Bush do something? Don't say he can't. His daddy or his handlers could be on the phone in 2 minutes with the Rothchilds and by 1 week, oil prices would be under $20 and gas would be 1 dollar a gallon. You know it and I know it. Why want he? Do you know? Is there sombody we can call? Plaese advice.

Val Prieto, at Babalublog, has some fun at the expense of a restaurant in Minneapolis which serves "revolutionary Cuban cuisine" amidst portraits of Che and Fidel. Val writes what getting a real meal is like in Havana... It's a masterpiece of debunking. He floors the guy in that magnificent storytelling way that only he can. >>Revolutionary Cuban cooking!? I wonder if the maitre'd hands everyone a ration card when they walk in the door. Or if they make the cafe cubano like they have been making it in revolutionary Cuba. One thin layer of fresh coffee grounds, one thin layer...

I'm getting damned tired of being made to feel like I have to defend the United States of America against accusations made by people from other countries who consistently prove themselves to be lacking in any respectability or honor whatsoever, and I think it's about time I expressed a few of my more contentious views concerning the "international community" in general. When this country and its coalition partners first invaded Iraq some 21 months ago, the international press began a disinformation campaign of practically unparalleled proportions, designed specifically to turn world opinion against our efforts to root out and destroy...

Outspoken liberal comedian Whoopi Goldberg, who has served as the spokesperson for the weight loss product Slim-Fast since November, was summarily dropped by the company on Wednesday for her incendiary remarks regarding President George W. Bush at a Hollywood fundraiser on behalf of the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John F. Kerry (D-MA). In a statement, Slim-Fast General Manager and Vice President of Marketing Terry Olson announced that the Florida-based company does not condone the manner in which Goldberg conducted herself at the Kerry fundraiser that took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York last week and...

WASHINGTON -- Federal authorities are filing the first criminal charges under the government's new anti-spam legislation. Federal officials have announced the arrest of two men in a landmark case from the Detroit area. Four people in Detroit have been charged with e-mailing fraudulent sales pitches for weight-loss products. Two of the suspects have not been found. The cases are the first criminal prosecutions under the government's new "Can Spam" legislation. Officials say they received more than 10,000 complaints about unwanted e-mails. The suspects are accused of disguising their identities in hundreds of thousands of sales pitches and delivering e-mails by...

The 2nd Annual Twenty Most Annoying Liberals In The United States -- The 2003 Edition by John Hawkins Once again this year, Right Wing News has put together a list of the most annoying people on the left. Oh and when I say "annoying," I mean REALLY ANNOYING. We're talking about fingers on a chalk board, crying babies in a movie theater, the neighbor's dog barking at 3 AM, levels of pure left-wing annoyance. So get ready, get set, and go check out the "The 2nd Annual Twenty Most Annoying Liberals In The United States -- The 2003 Edition". Honorable...

Vanity alert... I use Windows XP Home. This annoyance began last week: When I click on the scrollbar with the mouse, the display drops down two screens instead of one. If I hit the "page down" key instead, it behaves normally, dropping down one screen. My wife, at her workplace, uses Windows XP Professional and has the same problem. I read on a tech thread that perhaps a Windows Critical Update that was uploaded last week might be the cause of this? Wonder if anyone else noticed a problem or has a cure?

Alright, I must have gone somewhere I shouldnt have,because I have hundreds of pop-up ads I cannot stop

Every person on the net has one thing in common. They all hate spam. E-mails offering Viagra via the net Anyone who has an e-mail account will have received these unsolicited commercial messages that offer you things you do not want, at prices you will not pay, from companies you will never call. 2002 was a bumper year for these messages and now 30% of all mail flying around the net is thought to be spam. Filtering firm Surf Control has compiled a list of the top 10 most annoying spam messages sent across the net in the last 12...

Now accepting nominations for YOUR list of twenty. Nominations will close on 12 am January 1, 2003, and the results will be posted later the same day. Have fun and don't spare the venom!

If being annoying was a crime, there are a lot of liberals who would be sitting on Death Row in Texas waiting for them to crank up "Old Sparky." But until now, these "serial annoyers" have never gotten their proper due. Well, RWN thinks that's a crying shame. That's why we've punched up a list that's designed to celebrate annoying lefties. So get ready, because it's time for the first annual, "Twenty Most Annoying Liberals In The United States For 2002." Honorary Mentions: Madeline Albright, Robert Altman, Alec Baldwin, Martha Burk, Robert Byrd, James Carville, Noam Chomsky, Hilliary Clinton, Maureen...

Who would have suspected that George W. Bush, a president who came into office vowing to "change the tone" of the meretricious Clinton era (a dark age when America howled under the twin lashes of peace and prosperity), would emerge as the country's leading exponent of situational ethics? Maybe true conservatives always understood. Ever since Ronald Reagan ended his second term with the Department of Education still intact, it's been clear how little even a committed ideologue can achieve in real politics. So it's hardly surprising that Bush, who ran the most content-free campaign since some nameless William Henry Harrison...

RadioShack Corp. is dumping its decades-old, laborious practice of asking customers for their names and addresses at the register. Some of the happiest people to hear the policy change Monday were those who've been doing the asking all these years, said Leonard Roberts, chairman and chief executive officer of RadioShack. "We've been flooded with e-mails from the stores thanking us for dropping it," he said. "We've gotten several hundred just this morning." RadioShack has been collecting customer names and addresses for its mail-order catalog business since before the chain became part of Tandy Corp. in 1963. At one time, the...

Sorry for the vanity posting, but I know that I am not the only that is being bugged by this company daily. I was finally able to trace where the phone calls were coming from as they would always block their phone number. The phone number they are calling from is 1-506-357-2011 and if you call the number back they give you a PO Box where you can write into, but they will not say why they are calling you or what type of service they are. They have been calling me day and night every day of the week...
