I need help picking wide receivers for my fantasy football team. Here are my picks: Steve Smith (NYG), Chris Chambers (KC), Steve Breaston (Ari), Donnie Avery (Rams), Antonio Bryant (Tampa Bay) or Kenny Britt (TN). When my brothers asked me to join their league, they only had one job for me -- to lose. I'm this game from the play-offs. Please let me know your thoughts.

Sarah Palin will be at the Joseph Beth Booksellers in the Rookwood Plaza on November 20, 2009. The time is still tentative, but the bookseller will make a future announcement.

THROW AWAY THE SCABBARD What if Stonewall Jackson had survived Chancellorsville? In this alternate history, Jackson survives Chancellorsville. With Jackson leading his Second Corps in an invasion of the North, the war shifts from the Virginia wilderness to the Pennsylvania countryside. After the Army of Northern Virginia wins a stunning victory on the banks of the Susquehanna, General Ulysses S. Grant comes east to drive the Confederates from northern soil. But when Grant fails to dislodge Lee's army, President Abraham Lincoln risks all in a desperate attempt to win the war and restore the Union. Throw Away the Scabbard is...

Good Afternoon! When I need advice, I turn to Freepers. I am interested in learning more about becoming a paralegal. I've done some research, but I was hoping to get some first hand accounts. As a career, how would you rate it? Is it challenging, interesting, etc. More importantly, are you in charge of fetching the coffee?

I am in the midst of writing a fiction novel where the President signs an executive order that only postpones a constitutional right for a undetermined time. The right will be restored in full at a later date. He has a Congressional proclamation supporting his decision. So, my question is: What jurisdication does the Supreme Court have over Executive Orders? For the answer, there is only one place to go. To the very smart and wise FReepers!

I have learned that when I don't understand how to do something, the best place to come is to Free Repubic where the smartest people in the world congregate. I have come into possession of 10 shares of stock. I want to sell them, but I don't know what to do. So, if you could instruct me on the best way to go, I would appreciate it so much.

I just need to know if Hamas accepted Abu Mazen's offer to sit in the Palestinian Cabinet.

I will be applying to the Near Eastern/Judaic Studies PhD program at Brandeis University (plus other universities as well). I was wondering if there were any Brandeis alums here on Free Republic who could give me some advice on how to go about applying and getting accepted.

That is just one of many questions that remain unanswered from the Battle of Gettysburg. First the novel, Killer Angels, then the movie, Gettysburg, has currently painted a distorted picture of Lee’s real strategy, as has many of the books written on this subject. The standard story they all tell is one that has General Ewell failing to take Culp’s Hill and Cemetery Hill the evening of July 1st. On July 2nd, General Lee then attacked both flanks of the Union Army. Ewell again attacking Culp’s Hill, and General Longstreet attacking the Round Tops. When those attacks failed, General Lee...

Yesterday evening, I tuned into the Democratic National Convention. I’ve only missed one since I was an itty-bitty republican. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Sean Hannity has been calling this convention – The Reinvention Convention. I heard Ed Gillespie call it Extreme Makeover. They were both right. Personally, I couldn't believe the Democrats would be this reckless. They must know their candidate is in trouble. So, they have to make over John Kerry. They have to reinvent themselves. But they have chosen the character of the Wizard of Oz as their pattern - their role model. Ignore the...

I just got waylaid by a liberal who thinks the Presient is being contentious by taking his lawyer with him to appear before the 9/11 commission. He thinks that the President must have something to hide because Bill Clinton was so open with his testimony. I have been preoccupied and haven't been following the story. Help!

We take the Epistles and we think of them as having to do within the building of the Church and the churches, the superstructure of Christianity, and so we take the technique of the Acts and the Epistles as a technique, as a system of doctrine and a system of practice, a system of Christian order, and the Epistles become - and have become for so many and for Christianity in general - a crystallized system of practice, order, form, teaching; and the weakness in the whole position is just this, that that is something as in itself and the...

Tuesday, February 03, 2004 WASHINGTON - A 7-pound block of cyanide salt was discovered by U.S. troops in Baghdad at the end of January, officials confirmed to Fox News. The potentially lethal compound was located in what was believed to be the safe house of Abu Musab Zarqawi, a poisons specialist described by some U.S. intelligence officials as having been a key link between deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and the Al Qaeda terror network. Cyanides salts are extremely toxic. According to the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, exposure to even a small amount through contact or inhalation can...
