Free Republic

Michael Moore doesn't want to admit it, but he thinks Republicans are very good at what they do. "They're up at the crack of dawn trying to figure out what minority group they want to prevent from getting married today," he said. "On our side, we never see the crack of dawn, because we've been up all night." Moore spoke to a sold-out Carrier Dome crowd last night as a part of the 2004 Syracuse Symposium: Humor. The audience of 10,000, however, wasn't only expecting a good laugh. "He's more than just funny," said Eric Holtzwarth, assistant dean of The...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - As the founder of the groundbreaking rap group Public Enemy, Chuck D blended music and politics in hits like the 1989 anthem "Fight the Power." Now he's "rapping" about politics on Air America Radio, a new and unabashedly liberal radio network. His show "Unfiltered," which began this month in five markets, teams the rapper with comedian Lizz Winstead and radio veteran Rachel Maddow in a three-hour format that promises to examine the state of U.S. politics and culture. The 43-year-old musician is promising to put his unique stamp on the show, using it to revitalize black...

NEW YORK — Three black SUVs roar up to the corner of 125th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard, in the heart of Harlem. People walking by stop and look. The car doors fly open, and men in suits jump out. Something is happening, but no one is sure what. Then Bill Clinton pops out of the lead Suburban and walks into Starbucks. And everyone starts shrieking. "Mr. Clinton's on 125th Street!" "God bless you, sir. I'm glad to see you here." "He lost some weight." "You're the best president I ever had!" "I voted for you twice!" Clinton turns back....

Congrats to K. State, Big 12 Champs. They spanked the pompous overrated Sooners 35-7 tonight in the Big 12 Championship game. Meanwhile USC and LSU continued to roll with big wins(52-28 and 34-13(with 3 minutes left, respectively.) No way should OU be chosen by the BCS to play in the Sugar Bowl, the pollsters and computers should drop them hard to at least #3(Michigan is probably better, but they do have 2 losses.) What a fraud the BCS is, can anyone reasonable prove that OU is better than LSU and USC, both of who have dominated late in the season?...

Got their butts kicked by Virginia Tech(themselves recently exposed as overrated) 31-7. That should shut up for a few days the orange blowhard bandwagoning fullofthemselves thugimage rapcrap pullyourpantsup snoopyappiyap loudmouth elements of the Cane fans. OBTW, nice sore loser cheap shots by the Miami bench late in the game after the interception. Spare me the baloney about how this is the "new" "cleaned up" Miami. They sure looked like the heavily penalized, trash talking, thuggish, gang bums of old, mixing it up after practically every play in the final 4 minutes. Think I'm piling on? Watch media favorite Miami hardly...

Every one with the truth is banned at this waste of internet. HAH! Bunch of Republican butt kissers. Do you think that is where the truth is. I am proud to know what is right and to say it, not just kiss up to to Jim and the GOP. Your arrogance will be your downfall, just like Soddom and Gomorrha. I am outa here but good.

Title says it all. This is no surprise, just par for his defense in a big game. The offense can't and shouldn't have to do it all on a national championship-caliber team. Auburn could shut down Arkansas's offense, in AR, but UT couldn't at home. Yeah, yeah, big win(barely) for us against K-State(in Austin), which OSU just replicated. Wow, we are as good as OSU, bring on the Sears Trophy. Once again, the vaunted Carl Reese defense is being shredded. Rename them 'Reeses Pieces', because there is nothing solid about them. At least Mack Brown adjusted (so far) and brought...

Eagles 27, Skins 25 PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Philadelphia Eagles wouldn't let the Washington Redskins pull out another close victory. Patrick Ramsey overthrew Laveranues Coles on a 2-point conversion with 13 seconds left, and the Eagles beat the Redskins 27-25 on Sunday. Ramsey rallied Washington from an 11-point deficit in the final 3:10, connecting with Darnerien McCants on a 32-yard touchdown pass in the final seconds. But under pressure from Brandon Whiting, Ramsey hurried his throw to Coles in the corner of the end zone and the ball sailed over Coles' head. After John Hall's fourth field goal, a 53-yarder,...

CBS Says McNabb Tops 'Overrated' List CBS Says McNabb Tops 'Overrated' List Will the thought police force CBS off the air along with Rush Limbaugh? They'll try if they have any consistency at all, which, of course, they don't. An alert reader today sent us a most fascinating column written by CBS SportsLine.com senior writer Pete Prisco back on Sept. 18. McNabb was the choice as the most overrated player before his Stink at the Linc on Sunday. McNabb was awful in the Eagles' 31-10 loss to the Patriots, which dropped the Eagles to a surprising 0-2 heading into their...

That's it. I don't give a flying fig if Texas comes back(its 28-14 right now.) Fire the fickle folding fraud that is Mack Brown. Once again, he's couldn't prepare his team for the big game. Once again outcoached. Once again overhyped. Once again his team can't run. Once again his defense is shredded. Once again he ignored an offseason opportunity to replace his coaches who have used smoke and mirrors and early high rankings to fool the media into thinking his team would finally be better than what they are. Same ol' sham. Arkansas first truly exposed the fraud that...

The payment was mentioned on forms made public by the commission last week. The forms do...

<p>Let me explain. Sure, I understand Elvis' historical significance. He came along at a time when popular music meant Patti Page and Perry Como, and his (then) new-fangled fusion of country and R&B effectively introduced what would become known as rock & roll to mainstream America. A lot of his early records are still exciting (thanks largely to the great sidemen he had playing with him). Props are due.</p>
