Time to dust off the whoopee cushions and hand buzzers. April Fools' Day is here and there's no better place for wisecracks and shenanigans than at work. In its annual April Fools' Day survey, CareerBuilder.com found 33 percent of workers have played a practical joke on a co-worker and 17 percent are planning office tricks for this year's holiday. Although it might be thrilling to finally one-up the office funnyman, pranks also help beat something that's no laughing matter: workplace stress. More than half of workers reported working under stress in another CareerBuilder.com survey. Stress and worry on the job...

On the flight home this morning, I was unfortunate enough to have a bleeder sit next to me. By bleeder, I mean he was invading my space because he was large and his body was spilling over into my seat. I've seen worse cases than what I had today but let's hear your experiences.

No Extradition No Aid, Congress Urges Thursday July 28, 2005 11:01 PM By JEFFREY McMURRAY Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States would deny foreign aid to countries that block extradition of criminal suspects under a measure approved by both houses of Congress despite objections from the State Department. The provision, which must survive final negotiations between the House and Senate before it goes to President Bush, was partly inspired by the case of Josiah Ray Fulton of Hampton, Ga., a Marine, assigned to White House security, who was murdered outside a Washington night club in 2002. Fulton's...

I did it!!! For years I have been tying to post an article during normal freeping hours that nobody would comment on for over an hour. It is quite a challenge really. FR has a wide range of interests, and if an article is too weird, then people will comment on its weirdness. Anyway, every few weeks I have been trying to find an article just so totally boring that there would be no reason for anyone to comment on it, and at the same time not be too weird as to merit a comment based on its weirdness. I...

I sat outside of my classroom Tuesday waiting for it to open. I was there early, and the class currently occupying the room would not be out for another 30 plus minutes. So I sat and worked on my crossword puzzle and talked to a few of my fellow classmates who had also arrived early. A few girls were also waiting. We were not the only ones waiting. There were other students waiting for their classrooms to open. They were sitting outside of their own classrooms. I noticed two guys waiting for their classroom to open. They began to get...

F*** the South. F*** 'em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they'd stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep. And now what do we get? We're the f****** Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really? Cause we f****** founded this country, a*******s. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that b******t about what...

CHENEY BLURTS "F" WORD By Henry Yang David Sanger of the New York Times reports that Vice President Dick Cheney excoriates Saddam Hussein using a vulgar expletive during a heated verbal exchange. Mr. Cheney, under a shroud of secrecy, leaves his undisclosed location to interrogate Mr. Hussein in his undisclosed location. In compliance with demands of the U. N. Human Rights Commission (chaired by a delegate from Cuba), an M. P. from Provincetown, R. I. leads the naked, leashed Mr. Cheney into a polished marble foyer, while Mr. Hussein finishes his late morning tea. To compensate for prior prisoner abuse...

Bob Kerrey said Fox News could quote him. So they did.

John F. Kennedy Quotes Seen displayed in HUGE, BOLD letters at this year's RAT convention in Boston - "Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans - born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace. Some others - A child miseducated is a child lost. A man does what he must-in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures-and that is the basis of all human morality. A man may die,...

VP's language 'not an issue' with Bush 02:30 PM CDT on Saturday, June 26, 2004Associated Press ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE - Vice President Dick Cheney's curse in an exchange on the Senate floor is not a concern to President Bush, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Saturday. "These things happen from time to time," McClellan said. "It's not an issue with the president." McClellan and the president were on Air Force One on the way to Turkey for a NATO summit. Cheney used an obscenity beginning with "F" in an exchange Tuesday with Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., on the Senate...

GREEN BAY, Wis., May 28 - Senator John Kerry promised an occasionally tearful gathering of soldiers, veterans and their families here on Friday that as president he would bring the troops home from Iraq "as fast as possible." He also attacked the Bush administration as insensitive to the human toll of the war. Noting that Paul D. Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary, was unable to tell a recent Congressional hearing how many American soldiers had died in Iraq, Mr. Kerry declared, "You'd think that every day they'd be conscious of exactly what the cost is." Advertisement Mr. Kerry's comments came...

DEAD DIPLOMACY 2 hours, 41 minutes ago By William F. Buckley Jr. Tuesday morning we learned that the king of Jordan snubbed the president of the United States. He was angered, the press reports, by Mr. Bush's sudden moves last week on the Israel question. What Mr. Bush did was (1) back Ariel Sharon on his proposed removal of all Israeli military from the Gaza Strip, (2) reject the Palestinian contention that there was a "right of return" for descendants of the 1948 dispossessed, and (3) advise that the United States would have no objection to Israel's retaining several large...

Heads up. Turn your radios on.

Democrats and the Kennedys are once again proving to be hypocrite fools suffering from the famous case of liberal amnesia. The controversy this time stems from John F. Kennedy in advertisements that support President Bush's new tax cut plan. Senator Ted Kennedy is fuming over JFK's name and image being used to support tax cuts, something he vehemently opposes. These ads in question compare the massive tax cuts of JFK to those of Reagan and Bush, and rightfully so. This ordeal is only a small part of the larger problem; that modern day Democrats and socialists have hijacked the good...

Since I am approaching my one year anniversary of being a "freeper" and since I have never contributed a dime to FR, jim or the republican party, I am going to beat the powers to be at FR and voluntarily leave, rather than have them come up with one of the cock and bull stories to ban me. Been fun,Bye

Show me a honest politician and I will show you someone who has never won an election.
