Joehemian RhapsodyBohemian Rhapsody – Words and music by Freddie Mercury Parody and Copyright by LonePalm Is this a real race? Is this Democracy? Caught in a landslide, No escape to reality. Open your eyes, Look up at the polls and see, I'm just a rich schlub, I get no sympathy, Because I'm easily led, awfully slow, Cannot think, do not know, Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me. Comma, just killed the plan, Saw Corn Pop behind the shed, Pulled my leg hairs, now it's dead. Comma, strife had just begun, But now I've gone...

I joined FR on 8 October 2000. On the 14th I made my first contribution and coined the phrase, "Broken Glass Republican" at the same time. (See the link above)(A thank you to the Wayback Machine for archiving the post. JimRob says the FR database has been corrupted.) The term was picked up by Byron York who got it from his sister, a FReeper, over dinner and published in National Review. Peggy Noonan then used it in her article The Meaning of the Vote Democracy is a blessing--especially for "Broken Glass Republicans". It was also used repeatedly by Rush on...

I request your prayers for my wife, Agnes, who had a minor heart attack this afternoon caused by a blocked coronary artery. She underwent a cardiac catherization and is fine. She was awake and talking with the EMTs and doctors all the way though. She is tired but says she feels much better. She will be in the hospital at least until Thursday evening.

Bonjour Mes Amis les Deplorables. Today is what you Americans would call Fish Metal Day. Yes, you guessed it. It is Bastille Day.

I don't have the glitzy stuff so this will have to do.

SURIGAO, Philippines – A powerful nighttime earthquake in the southern Philippines killed at least six people and injured more than 120, with officials combing through cracked buildings and nearby towns Saturday to check on the damage and other possible casualties. The magnitude 6.7 quake roused residents from their sleep late Friday in Surigao del Norte province, forcing hundreds of people to flee their homes. The quake was centered about 16 kilometers (8 miles) northwest of the provincial capital of Surigao at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles), said Renato Solidum of the Philippine Institute of Seismology and...

Tucker Carlson just called out the guy behind the ads for paid protestors. Evidently it was a complete hoax.

The water conditions were perfect — “beautiful, clear, green” — when Sean Smyrichinsky went diving last month off the north coast of British Columbia. The 45-year-old Canadian had joined two friends for a three-week fishing expedition. Setting off on his own one day, Smyrichinsky went searching for sea cucumbers that their small crew could harvest the following day. Using a DPV, or a diver propulsion vehicle, Smyrichinsky plunged 25 to 30 feet down into the bay. Ahead of him, a mysterious object emerged. “And I thought, what a cool rock formation,” he said. “It’s perfectly round.” As he approached the...

Nos priéres à Dieu augmentent pour Révérend Père Jacques Hamal et sa congrègation. (Our Prayers to God increase for the Reverend Father Jacques Hamal and his congregation.) Notre Père qui es aux cieux, Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne, Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel. Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour. Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensès. Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal. Car c'est à Toi qu'appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles...

Despite Bernie Sanders’ endorsement of Hillary Clinton, the party faces fears of civil war: ‘It’s important for progressives not to be taken for granted’ Following Bernie Sanders’ departure from the presidential race, some are raising the prospect of civil war within the Democratic party. Photograph: Zuma Wire/Rex/Shutterstock No sooner had the question been posed of where angry young activists would go after the Bernie Sanders campaign than a group of angry young activists provided the answer: to the streets. The surprise walk-out of protesters from a conference of US progressives in St Louis this weekend forced the cancellation of its...

“Follow the money.” That telling phrase, which has come to summarize the Watergate scandal, has been a part of the lexicon since 1976. It’s shorthand for political corruption: At what point do “contributions” become bribes, “constituent services” turn into quid pro quos and “charities” become slush funds?
