Mayor Bloomberg just announced on live TV that the city would put the addresses of city blackout shelters "up on the website". In a city that has no power. That'll help!

I know, I know, Iam very late with this............. For a summary of the evening, I can't come close to HighWheeler's outstanding report here - so I won't. But I will post these extra pictures for everyone! Sean opens up the show. Sean and Ann field audience questions. Sean graciously poses with my better half for a picture. I think she enjoyed this a bit too much....... Ann signs my copy of her book.....to my 8 and 6 year old sons who always say "Ann Coulter rocks!" when she comes on TV. And the evening wouldn't be complete without a...

It should be interesting to see if Nate Livingstonand his crowd even show up. Any other Freepers going? If so, would anyone like to suggest a meeting place so we can put faces with names? day10

A 13-year-old North Fairmount boy was being questioned by Cincinnati police in connection with the Thursday night shooting death of one teen and the wounding of two others, one of whom was in critical condition. The boy being questioned was a victim of bullying, two of his relatives claimed.

A 14-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the scene, and two other male juveniles were transported to separate hospitals for treatment of...

My wife and I were listening to whoever was filling in for Rush Limbaugh a couple of days ago and having a few laughs as he discussed the "Raelians" and the cloning controversy. My wife commented that the founder of the cult had probably watched too much Star Trek while "chemically enhanced" - she makes these cracks knowing I am a hopeless Trekkie. Then it hits me that I knew the name "Rael" from somewhere before. Yep - Star Trek! Below is the entry for "Rael" from the Star Trek Encyclopedia, Expanded Edition, published 1999 (I swear, it was for...

When it comes to economic development, Cincinnati has it all wrong, a Carnegie Mellon professor told 180 development professionals Thursday. “Let me tell you what not to do: Build lots of stadiums and put out a brochure that says, "Cincinnati's back!'” said Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class. “Because if you have to put out a glossy brochure to tell people that Cincinnati is cool, you're not.” What Mr. Florida does recommend may be even more controversial, and could be summed up in a Washington Monthly headline over a review of his book: “Why cities without...

I am searching for an image that I just know I have seen on FR somewhere, but searching several threads has not been successful. The image is a take off on the old "Schoolhouse Rock" program, and the images had been altered to say "Homeschool Rocks". Any help appreciated! Thanks all!

Fellow Freepers: For the past year, myself and several other folks have been working on a project that we firmly believe can make a difference in our nation. It can make a difference for large and small charitable organizations, and even to our individual local churches. We met with one of the largest banks in the country twice last week and this project is close to becoming a reality. However, we need marketing data to strengthen our case. I am requesting that as many of you as possible to take a short survey that my group has put up on ...

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Leaning against a railing overlooking the dance floor, Martin Mawyer and Phillip Vaught blended in with the gay men who jammed the Mannequins nightclub at Downtown Disney for the start of Gay Days. Only they aren't gay. The self-described ``Christian guerrillas'' were armed with two hidden video cameras, documenting the sweaty sea of shirtless men who gyrated on the packed, revolving dance floor as colored lights twirled above them and smoke filled the air. Their mission was to record any openly homoerotic displays by Disney workers or Gay Days attendees, which they then intend ...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Director Steven Spielberg announced Monday that he is leaving his post on the advisory board of the Boy Scouts of America because the youth group excludes gay members and leaders. "The last few years in scouting have deeply saddened me to see the Boy Scouts of America actively and publicly participating in discrimination. It's a real shame," Spielberg said in a statement. The Oscar-winning producer and director, who gained the Scout's highest honor of Eagle Scout, has been a member of the group's advisory board for about 10 years, said his publicist Marvin Levy. The U.S. ...

Anybody else catch Walter Williams and the clueless Chicago Alderperson last night. It was hysterical! I didn't know we were all suffering from "Post-Slavery Traumatic Stress Syndrome". I wonder if I can get ADA benefits for that?

What potential problems with the state should we be aware of?.Any and all correspondence is welcome both to this thread or to my ...
