one word! DON'T

GIVE US A KING!" or "THE MADNESS OF KING SAUL" Donald Trump's despicable comments about Megyn Kelly are God's mercy toward the U.S. We've been allowed to see the madness of Saul in time to reject him. If anything has ever illustrated our debased view of manhood (as explained in the Intro to my book 7MEN), Donald Trump is it. He is not gentlemanly or chivalrous or heroic. He is a win-at-all-costs Saul who would mesmerize us for a time and lift our hopes, only to destroy us in the end. His viciously nasty comments toward Rosie O'Donnell were not...

The wit of Oscar Wilde is often more clever than insightful, but when he declared that “one’s first duty in life is to assume a pose”, he may have been on to something: clothes don’t just make the man; they can, if unchanging in style and sufficiently de trop, make him look ageless. This, at least, is the impression left by Tom Wolfe as he blazes through the culinary empyrean of Café Boulud on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, trailing dash and élan among the stolidly well-heeled and sourly superannuated diners. The writer who pioneered reporting with the intensity of literature,...

I would like to introduce you to my sister, Alexis the Bengal Kitty. She's a staunch conservative who has lurked ever since I signed up in April, 2001. She finally decided to take the plunge and join today. Please go easy on her since this is her first time on a political board. Oh, did I mention she loves the information she finds on FReeRepublic? The majority of our conversations revolve around things we've read on FR. She's been a bit nervous about signing up and participating because there are so many intelligent, articulate people on FR that she was...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Kid Rock was arrested Wednesday by Nashville police who are investigating a report that he punched a disc jockey at an adult entertainment club. Kid Rock was brought before Night Court Commissioner Howard Taradash early Wednesday morning. He is charged with simple assault, a misdemeanor. Taradash set bond at $3,000 and the rapper remained in custody until bail could be posted. Authorities said Kid Rock was charged after a 3 a.m. altercation at Christie's Cabaret near downtown Nashville. "Inside the establishment there was a squabble concerning, I guess, the selection of music," Nashville police Sgt. James Smith...

The Springsteens support Kerry, the Schillings support Bush. Bruce Springsteen held a free concert for Kerry with 80,000 people in attendance. Schilling helped the Boston Red Sox win the World Series for the first time in 84 years. While being interviewed by Good Morning America, Schilling threw in a last minute political comment. "just tell everyone to vote...and vote for Bush". The look on Charles Gibson's face was worth the price of admission. Both "celebrities" symbolize their perspective candidates values. Springsteen, a rich, famous musician who spends most of his time ensconced in his own world. Schilling is a rich...

It was Bush supporter, John Smith! This pic was taken by a Mansfield News Journal (lib rag) photographer, but SOMEHOW didn't make it into the paper. Kerry tried to shake John's hand, but he declined as he pointed his thumb down at his sign.

I heard Charlie Gibson mention that Clinton's head heart-thorax surgeon gave $2000 to GW Bush! LMAO

Tompkinsville artist Scott LoBaido is rolling out the welcome mat for next week's Republican National Convention, with a patriotic art show entitled "Hail to the Chief," opening tomorrow at a Manhattan gallery. And the unapologetically Republican LoBaido has a message for GOP convention delegates, who will spend four days in Democratic New York City beginning on Monday.

Last Friday night I had a chance to head into the big city (Atlanta) for a little culture. I have three young children at home and it was a rare opportunity for me to venture out of Suburbia.....

Corporate Lawyer in New Jersey Is Chosen as Federal Prosecutor By LAURA MANSNERUS EWARK, Dec. 7 — President Bush said today that he would nominate Christopher J. Christie, a lawyer who served as counsel to the president's 2000 campaign in New Jersey, as the next United States attorney for the state. Mr. Christie's nomination, expected for months, had drawn criticism from some lawyers because he lacks experience in criminal law. In addition, Mr. Christie would be the first United States attorney chosen for New Jersey who has not worked in the office. But Mr. Christie enjoyed widespread support from ...

War talk from Kid Rock Kid Rock won't be joining the music industry's anti-war movement. "Why is everybody trying to stop the war? George Bush ain't been saying, 'You all, make s-y records.' Politicians and music don't mix. It's like whisky and wine. [Musicians] ought to stay out of it." But it doesn't take much nudging to hear the Kid's policy analysis. "We got to kill that mother-[bleeper] Saddam," he says. "Slit his throat. Kill him and the guy in North Korea." Are some women and children going to die? "Yeah. But is doing the right thing. You got money,...

Walking west from Sutton Place, we were prevented from crossing First Avenue and going about our usual Saturday business by the hordes of people demonstrating in the name of peace. Looking over the crowds, and putting aside the unworthy thought that there was not a handful of them that we would even want on our side if we were in the Army, it occurred to us that these were the same sort of historically myopic people that in 1939, 1940 and 1941 demonstrated against this country entering war against Hitler and Imperial Japan. It is estimated that 40 million people...

'Celebs' Use Stardom to Promote Army Army News Service, February 11, 2003 WASHINGTON -- Actor Sean Astin and wrestler Bradshaw are among celebrities who are using their stardom to increase troop morale and keep the military fresh in the minds of Americans. Astin, who is known for his roles in "Rudy" and the "Lord of the Rings," visited the Pentagon Jan. 30 to record public service announcements thanking troops for their service and re-emphasizing America's trust in its military. He also narrated an announcement to promote the Criminal Investigation Command, commonly known as CID, and asked interested soldiers to apply...

Hollywood war stance hypocritical By J.C. Phillips Dustin Hoffman is the latest Hollywood celebrity to weigh in on the Bush administration's Iraq policy. While in London, Hoffman accused the president of dishonesty and of exploiting the nation's grief over 9-11. "I may be wrong," Hoffman said. "I am no expert. This war is about what most wars are about: hegemony, money, power and oil." Well, Mr. Hoffman you are partially correct. You are no expert and, yes, you are wrong. Not that it would have made any difference, but perhaps, while en route to London, you missed Secretary of State...

Phil Craig marched against cruise missiles, but now believes that Bush will be vindicated We were there for peace. We were there to confront the American cowboy warmonger. We were there to watch Emma Thompson on a lorry. Actually, of the day I marched against cruise and Pershing missiles what I remember best is the bemused look on the faces of a group of NUM men as Emma performed her mobile political cabaret. Anyone remember cruise and Pershing? Or Greenham Common? How about Frankie Goes to Hollywood? You only catch them on television archive shows now, but back in the...
