Ok. Just saw Hillary has the cover of Newsweek with the "finding her voice" line. What struck me about this is the exact same line comes from Carl Bernstein's "A Woman in Charge". There is the section after the dems lose the house where she goes into a depression and she turns to new age guru's and Eleanor Roosevelt in order to....you guessed it, find her own voice. The end result was the publication of "It takes a village". I can't believe she is reusing shtick from a decade and a half ago and people are buying it again.

NEW YORK - Five weeks out from the midterm elections, MSNBC/McClatchy polls, conducted by Mason-Dixon in eight states, show Democrats are in striking distance of taking control of the Senate. The Democrats are very likely to gain several Senate seats with some races still rated as toss-ups. In the Senate, Democrats need to gain six seats to regain control of the chamber. Our polls show that this is certainly possible as five races are toss-ups, one now narrowly shows a gain for Democrats -- Pennsylvania -- and the party maintains control of Sen. Maria Cantwell’s Senate seat in Washington. In...

Sorry for the wierd post, but I went to check my hotmail and Firefox came up with a "Certificate warning" box. While it looked like i was going to hotmail via "secure.footprint", The certificate was actually linked to "gendarme.info." I looked at the detail and the organization which issued the cert showed "Gendarme Nationale"... So.. Have the frogs taken over hotmail security? Are cheese eating surrender monkeys hacking me? Or is this just your general web-based wierdness?

I'm sitting here watching kids run rampant in the streets, demanding open borders, while our "conservative" President is singing "Don't Fear the Illegal" Meanwhile, My hometown has been inundated with people of questionable citizenship, we have beuiolt four new schools, two new jails, and the infrastructure of my old home town is on the verge of collapse. Wages are depressed, taxes are increasing, and my so-called "conservative" Republican party keeps telling me to bend over and enjoy it... When is enough enough? I'm at wits end with this issue, and I can only conclude that the Republicans and the Democrats...

A quick question for legal minded fellow freepers. It seems I'm being sued in small claims court. It stems from an incident 6 months ago, I was looking to move and spoke with a realtor. I never signed a contract. I did fill out a "credit application". He advised me that the apt wouldn't be available for at least a month. The real estate guy told me he needed to "hold" a check for the first months rent. He advised he would not cash it until he received the contents of my credit check and a signed contract. He advised...

Sorry for the vanity, but I need to know what to do when someone has falsely accused me of attempted assault....I know it sounds wierd but it just happened about 2 hours ago! I was studying for finals today in the library of my campus and some ditzy gal comes in and sits across the room and starts talking on her cell phone... no big deal, but after a nearly a half hour it became really distracting, so I went over and asked her to "cut the talking, I'm actually trying to study here." ok, maybe not polite but it's...

Iraqi Blogs are moving into great new realms, many have areas where you can actually post with iraqi's. Didn't know how many went to these sites, just figured i'd give a heads up so fellow freepers could check them out.

Okay, I know this is just a silly vanity but I was reading about the scheduled "protest" of the World Bank, etc. I just got to thinking how funny it would be if some freepers in the area showed up and "infiltrated" the smellys. Dress up like the biggest tree huggin fool, pony tail wig, and granny glasses. Carry some easily read signs that say stuff like "President Daschle will end all War!" " Vote Democratic...End the Evil Capitalist War machine!", just some really over the top lefty $#!*. If at all possible seek out interviews with reporters, speak in...
