<title>Michelle, My Belle, How Does Your Garden Grow?</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2420687/posts</link>
<description>January 4, 2010 Michelle, My Belle, How Does Your Garden Grow? Posted by Laura Ingraham Garden-gate? On the Iron Chef reality show Sunday night, FLOTUS Michelle Obama, in a cameo appearance, bragged about the sweet potatoes she had grown in her White House miracle garden. Many of you have emailed in, questioning the veracity of her claim. Inquiring minds want to know...check out the First Lady&#x26;#x27;s on-line &#x26;#x22;planting plan&#x26;#x22;--no sweet potatoes listed! If, indeed, sweet potatoes were never grown in the garden, how did FLOTUS and the competing chefs pull sweet potatoes out of the ground at the White House?...</description>

<title>[Bitpig] 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2419849/posts</link>
<description>Charles Darwin once famously wrote of his gradual loss of ability to enjoy music or any of the other simple joys of life, post-Theory; and I must say that at times I understand what he meant. For entirely different reasons (chemical, not spiritual), I, too, often feel incapable of discerning the bright joys of quotidian life as I used to. Yet even though the smell of life&#x26;#x27;s roses goes sometimes undetected by my nose, I have faith that roses still smell sweet &#x26;#x97; and that faith is enough. So it was in 2009. Though in many ways a cherry pit...</description>

<title>The New And Improved Iron Curtain</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2419840/posts</link>
<description>The New And Improved Iron Curtain by Burt Prelutsky Back in 1946, Winston Churchill, in a speech delivered at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, referred to an Iron Curtain that had descended across the Continent, behind which all the capitols of the ancient states, from Berlin to Belgrade, from Budapest to Sofia, were under the boot of the Soviet Union. Today, freedom-loving people are faced with a second such curtain. It doesn&#x26;#x92;t exist in Eastern Europe this time, but along the Potomac. On one side, there are despots like Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, Sunstein, Emanuel, Axelrod, Specter and Conyers. On...</description>

<title>FILING DEADLINES IN PRIMARIES</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2419634/posts</link>
<description>OK my friends. It&#x26;#x27;s 2010 and it&#x26;#x27;s time to see who has it in them. The filing deadline for Arizona is May 26. Will Hayworth run against McCain? The similar deadline for the state of Utah is March 19. Will the Atty. General run against Mr Bennett(or is it Mr. Hatch)? These are the RINO&#x26;#x27;S and deal makers that got us into this trouble. Plus they ain&#x26;#x27;t getting any younger. What&#x26;#x27;s worse are those who CHOOSE not to run for winnable or competitive Senate seats. The primary deadline for North Dakota is April 19. Are you aware Mr. Hoaven? I...</description>

<title>Starting the Year off Right</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2419139/posts</link>
<description>It is New Years Day. I just returned home from a great workout at the gym. Squats, leg press and 30 minutes on the Stair Master. Last year at this time, I was losing weight despite eating like a horse. Diagnosis, Diabetes. I have learned my blood sugar numbers are better when I reduce calories and exercise. Despite this knowledge, I have been lazy and not exercising. I had a revelation today. &#x26;#x93;You can exercise for an hour 3 or 4 times a week or you could probably have to attend kidney dialysis 4 or 5 times a week for...</description>

<description>In Maine&#x26;#x27;s Lakes Region, I ponder the waiting season. It is the waiting on winter-into-spring. There are the snow mounds and then the glimpses of what-is-next-to-be. Naturally, in this annual exercise there are the delights and the dilemmas. We are all players in this drama.</description>

<title>Moon Bats Mourn News about Rush Limbaugh</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2418702/posts</link>
<description>Satire For the briefest of moments this morning, left wing nut balls all across America got a head start on the celebrations and hell-raising slated to ring in the New Year at midnight. Liberal spirits were boosted by news from that on-line leftist rag, Wikipedia, which excitedly reported the demise of Rush Limbaugh on the island of Oahu, where, incidentally, Barack Obama was NOT born. Champagne bottles were prematurely uncorked, noise makers and confetti went free for the taking at DNC branches, and Harry Reid declared that Rush&#x26;#x92;s passing was about 50 years too late. Not a dry eye was...</description>

<description>December 30, 2009 Heckuva Job, Barry [Greg Pollowitz] Did Obama spread a little disinformation when he addressed the public on Monday? Emphasis mine: First, I directed that we take immediate steps to ensure the safety of the traveling public. We made sure that all flights still in the air were secure and could land safely. We immediately enhanced screening and security procedures for all flights, domestic and international. We added federal air marshals to flights entering and leaving the United States. And we&#x26;#x27;re working closely in this country, federal, state and local law enforcement, with our international partners. &#x26;#x22;All flights?&#x26;#x22;...</description>
