Copenhagen (BH) – Moments after the International Olympic Committee announced that Chicago had been eliminated as a host site for the 2016 Olympic games, a group of US politicians, celebrities, and media figures held a press conference to protest the decision as “based on racism.” The group, which includes two former US Presidents, distributed a release with the headline: “I.O.C. and K.K.K. are not O.K. with the U.S.A.” President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle, and talk show host Oprah Winfrey - all Chicagoans – had traveled to Denmark in the hope that their popularity would lend some star appeal to...

Okay … I’m laying this out on the table right now – I want one of these things. Talk about cool, what could be better than having your own submersible that looks like a dolphin on steroids. With the Seabreacher you can jump, dive and roll through the water at speeds of up to 40mph, or 20mph underwater. There’s a few different models of this beauty from Innespace Productions who took ten years to develop. For the average person it apparently is no sweat in learning how to drive and maintain a Seabreacher however the sticker price for all...

Awww...you know how it is... Looked around online and got some answers...BUT...for gun porn, the Freep has been the place to go. Freepers have always been the mother lode for gun info... I have several pistols, but just bought a Rock Island Armory 1911, full size, to play around with. Both as a rock-solid, nearly mil-spec .45 and also as something I could customize and build up as I like. I'm looking for some advice on sights. This'n's got the GI blade sights. It'll shoot fine, but I'd rather have some better sights on it. I'll have a gunsmith do...

 Holy frak. Holy frak. HOLYROLLERBLADINGFRAK! Movie producers paid two Sukhoi Su-35 pilots to fly without a canopy at Mach 2.0, and have one of them eject in what probably is one of the most dangerous stunts ever filmed. While on this speed I even managed to pull out my fingers in glove for an inch or two outside - it became heated very fast because of immense friction force plane undergoes with the air. That's what the pilot who remained in the cabin said he did after his crazy comrade ejected, landing safely on the ground. I don't know...

My daughter, Jackie, was married today to a man, John, who she's known for many years. Her mother and I are very happy. John and Jackie knew each other from church for 13 years. They used to really not stand each other when they were in the early teens. Jackie used to come home from youth group steaming, "That John..." It's amazing how the Good Lord has a sense of humor. I had been praying for a Christian husband for her, and one was under my eyes all this time. They work hard, plan to go to college at night,...

What do Reno, Orlando and Las Vegas have in common? To some pockets of the federal government, they just seem like too much fun. Instead, employees at some big agencies, like the U.S. Department of Agriculture, are being encouraged to host meetings in more buttoned-down places such as St. Louis, Milwaukee or Denver. Travel-industry lobbyists say government policies have essentially resulted in a blacklist of some destinations, such as Las Vegas, top, and Orlando, Fla., above, where Walt Disney World is located. ..When a conference planner for MGM Mirage's New York-New York Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas tried to...

Beating up your friends, family, boss, coworkers, celebrities, etc, etc has never been more fun! FaceFighter is one of those games that seems extremely gimmicky, and turns out to be extremely hilarious and fun. Appy, the guys behind AppyNews, are putting their facial integration technology to good use with this game, which lets you fight against anyone who you can find a picture of (online or elsewhere), or take a picture of with your iPhone camera. I’ll start with the best part of FaceFighter… adding faces! The setup is extremely simple, and the game allows you to either take a...

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan, June 16, 2009 – With the background melodies of a sitar, rabab and bongo drums filling the air, a siren-like voice beckoned the crowd to dance to the unique Afghan sounds. And like ancient mariners in Homer’s Odyssey, they responded. Abdul Bahrami, Afghan Night Live event director, entertains the crowd of 350 with a traditional dance. The event, held at Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan, June 13, 2009, exposed servicemembers to Afghan culture. Army photo by Pfc. Derek L.

Anyone have the Master Email list?

The Shia minority in Saudi Arabia has declared independence from the Kingdom, creating a country called the "The Republic of Eastern Arabia". The newly founded nation, which has received little media coverage, is formed in the eastern areas of Qatif and Al-Hasa, a website close to leading Shi'a cleric Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Namr reported. "The decision of the proclamation of the Republic was based on the demands of the people of the region," the website added, denying any foreign links for the decision. Al-Namr, known for his fiery rhetoric, was the source of major turmoil earlier this year when he...

TO:* Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA) FROM:* The White House TelePrompter Senator Harry Speaker Nancy Senator Chris D. You (Your Name)

For months, this newspaper has opposed President Obama's bold, forward-thinking agenda. What a colossal mistake. We realize now that we were merely clinging to the discredited ideas of the past. Holding on to disposable relics like tradition, religion and the Constitution only delays the glorious new world that awaits us all. President Obama has shown America a bright, glimmering future full of widely shared prosperity and national nice-to-each-otherness. Only by universally embracing the President's vision can this nation succeed and prosper. Resistance will bring nothing but social distortion, widespread panic and madness. President Obama has shown us all that to...

Imperialist America… that’s what a lot of media & educator types say. But do they ever stop to wonder what a real imperialistic America would be like? If I was the American Emperor, I would institute the following: 1. Abortion would be declared murder, and abortionists prosecuted as such. 2. Perjury, to convict the innocent would carry the penalty of the crime the innocent was accused of. a. If people conspired to frame someone for murder, and testified that way, even if he was found not-guilty, the accusers would face capital punishment. 3. Corruption of public officials would be a...

Received a note from a few people inside the Louisiana State House. Jindal is in and he's ready for war. This is not a Vanity. This is a tip.

Just thought we could have some fun today. Try to think of creative, college-like class names that you'd see at a university run by the MSM. Come to think of it, I think most of our universities ARE extensions of the DNC and MSM...

So I'm looking to upgrade the old armory a bit. The 12GA pump Mossberg is great, especailly as the area in the US I live is quite urban. Nothing like a good 12GA to serve well in very close quarters. But a pump leaves something lacking... Total firepower before reloading, and a slow reload. So my attention has drifted to the Saiga magazine fed 12 GA shotgun. My local dealer has some in stock - 10 shell clips are available as well. Suddenly, having 10 shells - and being able to reload with another 10 in just 4 seconds -...

Guys this is the BEST NObama song I've heard - maybe I haven't heard them all but this is AWESOME - Pass it on!!

Your Priestly Pugilist is back! Please check out the redisigned blog and let me know what you think.

'Obama Jeopordy' is an educational game I worked on whenever I found new information about Barack Obama and his radical history. There are 50 statements and "question" answers. A few examples of the game here. I'm not sure how I can post a link to it. Maybe someone can help me with that? Or you can email me if you want a copy. 2. Barack Obama said that this Black Liberation Theology preacher has been his "spiritual mentor and father figure" for 20 years. (Who is Trinity United Church of Christ Rev. Jeremiah Wright?) 5. This is to Black Liberation...

When I was told that I would be interviewed on "Larry King Live" as part of my book tour, I was stunned. I'm one of the millions of Americans who grew up watching him host his iconic show on CNN. In person, the vintage microphone, trademark suspenders, and "Lite-Brite" world map appear just as you would expect. I was thankful to have had a full week of doing interviews under my belt before sitting down with Mr. King. Due to CNN rules, we weren't able to take cameras into the studio, but they were nice enough to provide these great...

I was wondering if there's any interest in a get together in downtown Chicago to watch the Bears/rally the group in support of the ticket?

You might not think this is funny. But I laughed.

I haven't been sleeping much lately, my husband is somewhere on the other side of the world and I haven't spoken to him or received an email from him all month! Anyway, I was just doing some surfing and I thought I'd ask my FRiends for some of their favorite web sites (other than FR of course) so that I can get some new surfing ideas. So what are your favorite web sites that you regularly visit or have found recently? My top ten can't miss sites are: 1) FR (of course) 2) Weather.com (Don't know why) 3) ebay.com (what's...

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The candidate is on an outdoor stage, her shoulders bobbing and weaving as two reggaeton performers dance around her. Welcome to Hillary Rodham Clinton's most excellent adventure. She had just given a mercifully short 10 minute speech and would soon wade into the rope line, all smiles, signing T-shirts, taking pictures and otherwise mugging with a crowd that had waited more than four hours to see her. Party leaders are demanding a quick end to the Democratic contest. Yet her legions of loyal backers have no qualms about pressing on. With the end of the...

Judge: Is he drunk? Deputy: He’s dead, sir. Judge: Dead drunk? Deputy: Plain ol’ dead, sir. Judge: Explain yourself. Deputy: He died up there, sittin’ at the bar. People wanted us to take him away. Judge: You imbecile. This is a court of law. How am I to have an inquest? Deputy: Couldn’t say, sir. Judge: Well, the writ of habeas corpus is there for a reason. Bring the accused forward. Deputy: What’s the charge, sir? Judge: Never mind that for now. Did you frisk the man? Deputy: Here and there, sir. Judge: Does he have any money? Deputy: A...

Dreams of My Arugula by JohnHuang2 So, the final returns from West Virginia are in and Hillary has defeated the Prohibitive Favorite, The Runaway Front-runner by a teensy-weensy 41-point margin. Oh, no big deal — for the fall election, Obama’s written off West Virginia and Kentucky despite his vow to campaign in all 57 states. But, as they say, Obama has the nomination math on his side — recently underscored when he bagged another coveted superdelegate, Ahmed Yousef of Hamas. Obama got crushed despite a week of ‘Clinton dismisses calls to drop out’, ‘Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase’, ‘Clinton should...

Left-Brain/Wright-Brain by JohnHuang2 The more I hear Jeremiah Wright speak the more I think Hillary should give him a raise! Jeremiah set out to prove he’s not a total racist nutjob and did a good job of proving he’s a total racist nutjob. First he had to tackle an interview with Bill Moyers, who took the gloves off with questions like, “When did you hear the call to ministry, how did it come?” and “What did you think when you began to see those VERY BRIEF sound bites circulating as they did?” Moyers then went for the kill! “What...
