How long did Jim battle the LA Times and Washington Post and now an email has him cowering?

Give it up already. Let Jim and Free Republic save their resources for things that matter. Articles from the Onion don't contribute to the stated mission of the Free Republic website which is to "roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America." So their omission here is no big loss.

Sure, the articles were nice for a humor break now and then. I posted a few here myself. But looking at the big picture, they really aren't that important.

So the H-Dog is out. And Jim Anchower too. Permanently.

Well said Sam.

what I find interesting is that a LOT of aritcles appear on FR within 20 minutes of showing up on fark.com (weird, stupid etc news links)

Me and another FReeper got kicked off of fark for being too conservative... I know there are more FReepers that hang out there though.

I cut and pasted a Jim Anchower article...sent it to the email list for my high school reunion.

I of course changed a couple details to make it fit. one of the guys in my grad. class sent me an email...he took it totally seriously. He talked about how he was addicted to drugs and did rehab and I should contact him... pretty funny, but kinda sad I guess.
