LONDON — The world's most famous baby prince met the world today, when Prince William and Duchess Kate left St. Mary's Hospital here with their infant, about 24 hours after he was born amid national celebrations and a media frenzy.
It was the first glimpse of the little prince, wrapped in a blanket, and his first pictures of what is likely to be innumerable pictures to come throughout his life.
The couple and the newborn emerged from the door of the hospital Lindo Wing, where the media mob has been waiting since July 1, to overwhelming flashes of light from the cameras, shouts from reporters and cheers from a throng of onlookers who have been waiting for them all day.
"He has a good pair of lungs on him," William told the gathered crowd.
"It was very emotional, it is such a special time," Kate said.
William noted that they are "still working on a name."
Earlier today, the both sets of grandparents visited, Carole and Michael Middleton first, followed by Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall.
"He's absolutely beautiful," Carole Middleton said. "Marvelous!" said Charles.
Royal heirs — this one will be third-in-line to the throne and a future king — typically have at least three names and often four. He will be known as HRH Prince (name) of Cambridge, for his parents' titles, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Leaving the hospital so soon came as a bit of a surprise. When William was born in the same hospital in June 1982, his name was not announced for nearly a week.
But he and his parents, Prince Charles and his then-wife Princess Diana left the hospital the day after his birth and posed on the steps of the hospital door with William in arms.
Kate's quick recovery and exit suggests she had the natural birth she had planned. Details about the birth have not been released, but if she started labor around 7 a.m., then her labor took a little over 10 hours.
William, 31, who is not a fan of the media and has long sought as much privacy as possible for his family, spoke a few words to the army of journalists assembled outside the hospital, some of them since July 1, during a heatwave.
On Monday after the birth, the British media quoted him as saying in a statement, "We could not be happier." Today, the couple issued another statement
About four hours elapsed between the birth and when the palace announced it via a series of tweets and electronic press releases. The couple apparently used that time to spend some time alone with the baby, British media reported, and the news did not leak out of the hospital.
The palace did immediately say where the couple and the baby would go next. The options include returning to their small apartment at Kensington Palace, which lacks air-conditioning, or returning to the air-conditioned estate of Kate's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, in rural Bucklebury about 50 miles outside London.
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom got ready to celebrate with its characteristic pomp and pageantry today. Fountains ran with blue water; the lights atop iconic buildings blazed blue at night. A 62-gun salute from the Tower of London was planned today, along with a 41-gun salute from Green Park near Buckingham Palace.
Palace officials are expected today to announce more planned events, but street parties around the country and the Commonwealth are sure to be included.

Gary Coleman finds love, Oilers play the Sharks in celebration
February 14 2008 09:21AM
One day after being linked to a mega-star Mark Messier, Gary Coleman has shocked the world by "marrying" a "lady" 22 years his junior, named Shannon Price. Believe it or not, this is the first marriage for the diminutive "actor," who heretofore had been considered completely asexual, like a banana.
Coleman could not be reached for comment, so in his absence the OilersNation has calculated the most probable statement he would have made on the OilersNation Celebrity Interview Simulator™. Remember, this isn't what Gary Coleman actually told anyone, just what he would have said were he not on his honeymoon at a Best Western in Tijuana.
OilersNation: So Gary, why are you getting married? Are you finally calling your one-sided stalk-love with Mark Messier quits? Gary Coleman: When I saw what you had written about me, about us, I knew it was time to dispel rumours and tie the knot. OilersNation: It's rumoured that you've only known your wife Shannon for five months, and that this is a lame attempt at launching your own reality show. Is this correct? Gary Coleman: No comment. OilersNation: Will you be dissolving the detective agency you and Messier formed in the 1980s as a result of your marriage? Gary Coleman: What you talkin' 'bout, Nation?
So there you have it. Gary Coleman is involved in a celebrity hot-couples story for the first time in his life, and he ruins it by going and getting married. Don't let this sway your voting Nation; plenty of couples that haven't been able to make it are on the list.
In other news, the Oilers play the Sharks tonight. Whether or not Gary Coleman will be at the game is unclear, but an imminent victory is very clear. Mathieu Roy has been called up for the game, but how his tendency to receive facial injuries may impact the outcome of the game remains to be seen.
February 14 2008, 10:04AM
You have failed us for the last time Gary
Way to go Gary. On scoring Mark Messier. But clearly you've effed that up entirely. So GO OIL!

Customer Reviews
Comments: Save your money and buy the Lindner DVD's if you really want to learn something and get specific tips. The 'Exposed' videos spend most of the time with close ups of the Pro jabbering about what happened yesterday and what they aren looking for but you seldom get to see it. Lots of video of the bow of the boats speeding around the lakes. Not many fish caught and very few details of the poles, reels, lures and setups. They talk about what they might fish with but few specifics and tips you can use. The Pro's are all nice guys and good fisherman but very poor communicators. Ish Monroe is the exception. He was the only one that I got anything specific from. This must have been the first job for whoever produced these.

Comments: Let's say that I am hopeful season two has more to offer....

Average gasoline prices in Rochester have risen 1.5 cents a gallon in the past week, a weekly survey by GasBuddy shows.
Average prices were at $3.65 a gallon Monday, the survey of 319 gas outlets in Rochester shows.
This compares with the national average that has increased 2.2 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.23, GasBuddy research shows.
Including the change in gas prices in Rochester during the past week, prices Monday were unchanged compared with the same day a year ago, and are 6.8 cents a gallon higher than a month ago.
The national average has decreased 2.4 cents a gallon during the last month and stands 0.9 cents a gallon lower than this day a year ago.
"Motorists hitting the road for Christmas travel are cringing as gasoline prices have picked up with the best now behind us," GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan said. "While prices will advance, I don't expect it to last too long—January and February generally also feature relatively low gasoline prices."
The firm predicts Americans will be able to spend less on a yearly basis for gas in 2014 than they did this year, DeHaan added.
GasBuddy operates more than 250 websites tracking gas prices at more than 140,000 stations nationwide, including RochesterGasPrices.com.

The Budweiser Red Light
Kent Wilson
February 25 2013 06:31PM
By now most of have heard of this new Budweiser red light thing. For those of you living under a rock (or who PVR every game and zip through commercials), Bud has come up with a replica goal light which you can sync with your favorite team, install in your house, and have it go off every time your club scores. IT'S LIKE ACTUALLY BEING AT THE GAME. Especially if you like to have belligerent drunk friends over to watch the match with (err, drunk ON BUDWEISER of course. Enjoy responsibly and all that).
Anyhoo, the Bud people tracked us down here at the Nations and asked us to talk about the light to all our readers since obviously you are all incredibly cool hardcore hockey people. We hummed and hawed for awhile but then relented because, frankly, it's actually a pretty cool idea. Also Wanye became pretty adamant we do it. I suspect they bribed him with a free light to grease the wheels a bit.
So check out the video above for more details and/or click it to see how you can get your hands on one. Or, if you've already bought one, you can find out how to install it there too.
Definitely getting one, but may only turn it on for stretch drive and playoffs (and weekend games... and when my buddies are over... and when I'm watching with my boys).
Why no post on this at OilersNation?
GTA only, so this should be limited to the Leafs Nation
This is great, except that i usually PVR the games and pause them for various reasons when i do watch it live. So i would mostly be behind when the goal light goes off. Not a 100% great idea, but i would still get it for those times when i do watch it live.
Oh goodness, only $150? Where do I sign?
its one thing to shill for a bit of money, but this article got moved from under to over the jensen one? come on.
No mention of Luongo's tweet today?
It said something to the effect of "Just wanted to apologize to anyone who already had to replace the bulb in their budweiser red light after yesterday's game".
This is not the type of content that I visit this site to read, which is usually of good quality. Couldn't this be banished to a sidebar ad?
Where is this Wayne guy? Get out the pitch forks ...
February 26 2013, 12:38PM
Only $150 and will lose all functionality at some point? Better get 2.
"In purchasing this device, I am aware that the Budweiser Red Light data feed may only be supported for a limited period of time..."
Wait, if I'm lucky I'll get it in June? Awesome!
"I acknowledge that I have Pre-Ordered a Budweiser Red LIght for shipment week of June 10, 2013. Subject to delivery timelines by location and unanticipated delays."

As many of you know November is National Adoption Awareness Month, but for anyone familiar with the process of adoption you are aware of it�year-round.
Actually, it is more of a struggle than awareness, every day filled with anticipation that the next time the phone rings it will be "the call," saying you have been chosen by a birth mother. Every night filled with worries of "What if no one likes our profile?" "What if we never get the chance to raise children?"
For my wife and me, our awareness of adoption came after four years of marriage and no children of our own. After studying the different ways adoption could be conducted we chose LDS Family Services as our means of searching for the missing piece in our family. Every hope filled couple, and every expectant family will have a different story, here is ours:
In March of 2006 my wife and I met with LDS Family Services and began the process of applying for adoption. It took months to fill out all of the required paperwork. We filled out forms about ourselves and our immediate families, interests, hobbies, education and personal background. We created a profile to be kept at all their agencies, with pictures of us, our families and our hobbies.
We answered questions about our abilities and willingness to care for a child who may possibly suffer from mental and or physical abuse or disease. After filling out forms about our own medical history we both underwent a physical examination by our doctor and submitted that as well, along with our permission for the agency to conduct a criminal background check. By the time this process was over I knew more about my wife than I had learned through almost a year of dating and four years of marriage, and I noticed things about myself I hadn't realized after 26 years of, well�being me.
Then we were approved for adoption by the agency and the waiting game began. Although we had regular contact with our agency, none of the regular "Hi, how are you doing" calls were ever as exciting as the times he would call to say that a child was being put up for adoption and we fit the needs of the birth mother.
But then weeks would go by without any news and we would slowly start to realize it wasn't meant to be. We would tell ourselves, perhaps the mother had simply chosen to keep her child, it was easier for us to believe that, than to think it was our profile that had discouraged the mother from choosing us.
Soon though, we would get another call and we would forget about our disappointment with our previous experience. This cycle would repeat itself for a little over a year before everything changed.
Father's Day 2007 was especially difficult for me and every commercial on TV stung a little when I thought that no one was every going to buy me a hideously ugly tie and I would love it anyway. That all changed the next day when we got a phone call from our case worker saying our profile had been pulled by a couple in Salt Lake City and they had chosen us to raise their unborn baby boy and wanted to meet us face-to-face in a couple of weeks. Our world was spinning; time sped up and slowed down all at the same time, we rejoiced and agonized over the next two weeks, until we met them.
We were led into a little room at the branch of LDS Family Services where we met them, at once all preconceived notions, about a mom who would be willing to give up her child, were shattered. Across from us sat a beautiful, articulate 20 year old girl and her handsome 25 year old boyfriend. We soon learned that each of them had a child of their own, from previous relationships, whom they loved very much and worked hard to provide for. Both of them held full time jobs and desperately wanted to get back in school to finish up their degree so they could better theirs and their children's lives. Both of them wanted to get into nursing programs and go on to bigger and better things. Although they both loved this unborn child they knew that they were not in a position to love him as much as someone else could.
Although they both loved each other, they were not married, and the thought of breaking up and leaving a child bouncing back and forth between two homes was not what they wanted for him. They wanted him to grow up in a stable home where he could love and be loved, and in a home where they could still know how he was doing.
They were already looking at another couple's profile when they saw ours, then they read further and learned my wife is Samoan and I am Caucasian. Our baby's father is Hawaiian and the mother is Caucasian, and at first glance the match seemed to fit well, as they read on in our profile they found more similarities than differences between us, and they chose to meet us.
I can honestly say I will never forget the day we met them, it falls third on my list of happiest days, after only my wedding and the eventual birth of my son. Over the next few months we kept in touch with phone calls and even text messages. One Sunday we drove up to Salt Lake for the mother's birthday party and got to meet her son and his son. We stayed for hours and got to know them better and would meet up again for lunches or dinners whenever we were in Salt Lake.
On Aug. 28, the dad called us to let us know they were at the hospital, and we went right up. Our son was born at 8:17 p.m. and over the next three days we met five generations of the mother's family and three generations of the father's family. Although a little awkward at first I think we have all become Ohana, the Hawaiian word for family.
Since his birth we have shared more meals with them and our son has been welcomed in by even more members of his father's family. We continue to send them pictures and letters and they continue to be a part of his life.
We chose a name for our son to help him always remember his parents and the path he traveled to get to us, he took his last name from me, his adoptive father, a Samoan name from my wife, his adoptive mother, and a traditional Hawaiian name to honor his biological parents and his place in our hearts. We introduce to the world, Sai'Peti E'po'mai'kai'ke'kua'o'kalani'ke'ia'ohana'aliif Merrell. Which translated means; "This blessing from God and heaven, given to our family from royal blood."

Skip to comments.Mason Dixon calling FL for Mitt Romney
Posted on 10/29/2012 10:38:17 PM PDT by Arthurio
By Tiffany Griffith
Florida "Mitt Romney has pretty much nailed down Florida," Mason Dixon Polling told The Tampa Bay Times.
Brad Coker with Mason Dixon Polling says the evidence is in the latest polling, where Mitt Romney is carrying the highly coveted I-4 corridor - an area Obama carried in the 2008 race.
"And there we found Mitt Romney leading with 51%. Obama drawing 45%," says Coker.
President Obama is also losing support in counties where he's heavily favored. With a week until the election, that may not change, says Pollster Brad Coker.
"Barring any major kind of event that's kind of beyond the control of the campaigns, I'm pretty sure Romney is going to carry Florida," Coker added.
these are times to test men's souls in every way...
Poll ping.
make no mistake that God's hand is in this. all glory to the Lord.
All the while Obama is hunkered down upstairs at the WH, getting the crap kicked out of him by Mooch and her mother. hahahhahahaha.
Virginia seems to be an absolute dead head. Iowa I feel good about with the trend in our direction. Nevada seems intractible. Too many hispanics. People have the idea that there's a huge LDS population there, but it's only about 6% which is high compared to most states but not enough to counteract Clark County unions and the big Hispanic block.
Romney's best shots are Iowa, Colorado, Wisconsin, Ohio...if he gets those nothing else matters - and he's got a great shot at winning all 4.
Harry Reid is LDS is good standing
A lot of Freepers prayed to God in 2008 that this POS kenyan won't be elected...guess what happened.
I thought all the deadheads were her in San Francisco.
I yield to no one in my detestation of Obama and my enthusiasm over his defeat. But this is just wrong. This is no different from the news media calling Florida for John Kerry in 2004, before the polls in the Florida panhandle were closed. It influences later voting. People give up and don't go to vote because they think it's over and there is no point, so we don't get a fair representation of the sense of the people.
We absolutely should not permit all this early voting and nobody should be calling a state based on polling data. If we're going to do that, why vote at all? Why not just turn the election over to the pollsters to decide?
Well most of the coal country union members seem to have figured out that Mr. You Can't Go To Las Vegas is not for them. Maybe some of the Las Vegas union members can figure out he has harmed them explicitly too.
Its over but work like we are down by 10
How much coal and steel biz is there in Ohio? And as compared to union auto workers. I never saw Ohio as autoville but the media sure has painted it that way.
Insiders are hard to please. I bet plenty of folks aren't happy about the gov taking gm from the stock and bond holders. Hell, if you are a bondholder of gm, how was Obama any different than Chavez and nationalization?
I saw someone over the weekend claim that Ohio is more of a supplier state for auto assembly. Thus they liked the bailout compared to say even Michigan.
Is her mother worse than Mooch?;)
Marion, I think her name is. Zero yells at her, and she stands with hands on hips a stares back at him as if saying SHUT UP you punk. I think the word PUNK was used.
Romney/Ryan will carry the entire South, including Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, etc. Romney/Ryan will also carry New Hampshire, Maine, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Illinois,, etc. I could go on, but.....Obama/Biden will only carry between eight and twelve states!!! Final totals will be: Romney/Ryan, 57%, Obama/Biden, 40%, Others, 3%. Both the Senate and House will be controlled by the Republicans, with the GOP adding at least twenty seats in the House, an historic first!!!
You said what I was thinking when I read that too.
Now that's funny!
Just because God doesn't say 'yes' to all our prayers, it doesn't mean He doesn't say 'yes' to some of them.
It wasn't God who voted him into office. Nor was it God who stayed home as a hard-core conservative who did not think McCain was any better than Obama.
People make bad choices all the time, God help us.
I once asked my parents to take me to Disneyland and they said no...which I take as evidence that my parents don't exist...as for how I got here...hmmmm.
I still remember the hurt of that night on FR when everyone vented in 2008...and most Freepers, if not all prayed. Praying can only get you so far. God wants us to do more and quit relying on Him for a change.
I see it all the time here on FR "pray for the nation"..well, I think God is saying "yes, I get it..what are YOU doing in the meantime?"
God works in mysterious ways.
In a state with 8 million voters, there are about 25,000 auto assembly workers, but only 13,000 of them are in the corporations affected by the restructured bankruptcy, GM & Ford. The bulk of the remainder are Honda (non-union) and Ford (non-bailout and proud of it.)
There are also a number of auto parts manufacturers, in the neighborhood of 90,000, I believe, but again, not all of those are related to GM/Chrysler, and there are a number of small and mid businesses (non-union) that sell items to the manufacturers or in the after-market. That means a good number of them really shouldn't be considered in the "auto industry" in the same way that a corporation transmission plant should be.
What is that old saying - pray like it all depends on God, but work like it all depends on you? I think that is the difference between Obama supporters and Romney supporters. Even though a state appears safely in hand, Romney's supporters will still take the time to go to the polls while Obama supporters will not since many of them are those who expect everything to be done for them. They will go to the polls if someone comes and picks them up and takes them there. Romney supporters will move heaven and earth to get there!
If that was the Kevin DuJan article, I do believe the phrase was *punkazz*.
There you go, explains his peril. Couldn't happen to a
"worser" guy. (I know its not a word). Well maybe O's word, he uses words like that ya know?
Thanks, I think that was the author of that article, very funny one. Don't know exactly how much is know fact, but funny nevertheless.
""""People make bad choices all the time, God help us.""".....
_________________________________________________________ Very well SAID. The Hard-Core conservatives are with us today and do not have a right to post on FR and complain about anything. They make me sick.
Not that their vote would have made a difference in 2008 with all the idiots who were charmed by the Wizard, but still. They CAN make a difference this time.
Those people when posting here, should be SHUNNED & ignored, do not talk to them. Me thinks that perhaps they are really Democrats sent to discourge us and stir up trouble. They are not worth the energy it takes to type a note back to them. JMO
I think Garth Brooks has a song called "Unanswered Prayers" find it, and listen....

If you have ever fished a pond or strip mine covered in moss you know how hard it is to find open water to work your lures. But you also know that these waters can be very productive. I can understand why he likes these places. They are generally isolated, in most cases you may be the only one there, and they are productive.
With moss covered mines or ponds you have to look for open water or breaks in the moss. You normally do not have a lot of room to work your lures and very rarely can you work them deep especially if you're fishing from the bank.
If the water is almost entirely covered by moss I will try shiners in whatever open water I can find. It is kind of like dropping the bait into a hole. I will begin fishing about three feet deep and gradually increase the depth until I get a hit or my bait is on top of the moss. I have had some very productive days using this approach.

By KEN LARSONEmery County Progress publisher
I am not sure if anyone really knows how collections are started. There are probably as many collections as there are people. Books, coins and stamps often lead the lists. Although I am by nature quite a pack rat my only salvation is that I have moved a lot and am not one to carry a lot of unnecessary stuff around. For that reason many of my would-be collections were short-lived and ended up in rummage sales or salvation armies around the Northwest. Except for one.
I am not sure when I started but the first post card I remember hanging on- to was a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman I was sent from a grandmother when I was about 10. Then when I was 16 I traveled with my classmates to Montreal to attend Expo '67 and came home with a large envelope of postcards from around the world. About that time I left Canada and finished high school in Montana living with my grandparents. They lived near Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park and from the time I was a young teenager I remember buying postcards showing the beautiful scenery in Western Montana. This was long before I took and interest in photography.
But the hobby of collecting postcards didn't really start there, but like a lot of things, ended up in boxes along with letters, cards and memorabilia from events and activities.
It wasn't until years later that I realized I had hundreds of post cards and in one of our early moves I organized them into a shoe box. From the time we were first married we loved to travel, often to local resorts, mountain areas or recreational spots in southern Canada or Montana. Each visit, without really thinking about it I would pick up a handful of post cards and bring them home.
That all began 30 years ago and now my one little shoe box has turned into a large post card rack that I picked up at a drug store that was going out of business along with several shoe boxes. I estimate that I have over 30,000 cards from all corners of the world.
As I sat down on the floor Sunday night surrounded by stacks and stacks of post cards I thought I could glance through a few hundred and get enough thoughts or material to write a few paragraphs. What I soon realized is that in those stacks of postcards was enough material for a book (or several books).
Most of the post cards are not from places I have been, because as friends discovered my love for the cards they began bringing me stacks and stacks every time they took a trip. This past year I received cards from New Zealand, Germany, England and Scotland.
By the way, very few of the cards are written on and unless they have a post mark there is no way you can tell which year it was published. However, following my grandparents' and mother's deaths I went through boxes and boxes of old letters and pictures and found post cards sent from England and Canada dating back to the mid-1920s. It appears that families often had their photos made into post cards back in the teens, as I found several family pictures and scenes from the early ranches and farms on the prairies made into post cards. Most of these were dated.
I have written in columns that my sons and I climb a different mountain every summer and ski at a different resort every Christmas. You guessed it. I pick up a couple dozen cards from every destination.
But some of my favorites are from friends who send me cards as they travel. Once while living in Pendleton, Ore. I rented out extra bedrooms to rodeo fans who couldn't find hotel rooms for the famous Pendleton Round-up. One of these renters was an engineer from Austria, who had a fascination for the American west and cowboy way of life. That was back in 1988 and at least four times a year he sends me a post card from some remote part of South American, Australia, or the Middle East, locations he is building his latest bridge or building.
And of course, many of the older cards have come from antique stores where I pick up a stack of cards presumed dated in the 1920s or 1930s for a few dollars.
To the best of my recollection I have cards from 34 states and 110 foreign countries. I have post cards from seven world expos and 22 national parks or recreational areas.
The collection contains hundreds of animals from various corners of the world, faces of interesting natives from many foreign countries, large collections of art works and historic buildings you often see in history books.
And one of my favorites is "Castle Gate" before the current road system was in. There is no date on the card, but it reads, "Railroads and all-weather highways enable travelers to reach the remotest places in this beautiful state. Mother Nature has been generous here in her gifts of huge rock formations, tumbling waterfalls and towering forested mountains."
I have had this card for many years and always wanted to visit this part of the world. Little did I realize that someday I would be living here.
So what does one do with that many cards? It could drive me nuts trying to keep them organized so I don't even try, although at different points in my life I divided up the states and countries. I guess the best answer is that I just keep gathering them.
I intend on traveling to five more national parks this year and that means about 100 more cards.
I did mention this to my sons and my oldest son had a great comeback when I asked him what he was going to do with the collection when I am gone. His response, "Thank God for E-Bay!"

By Floyd Ingram/Chickasaw Journal
CALHOUN COUNTY – A Slate Springs man was allegedly stabbed and run over by a vehicle at a rural cemetery Wednesday afternoon, prompting the arrest of two people on aggravated assault charges.
Calhoun County Sheriff Greg Pollan said the incident began after the husband confronted his wife and another man at Moreland Cemetery near Slate Springs about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
"The victim called 911 and told us he had been stabbed and run over by a vehicle," said Pollan. "We responded and found Mike Rutherford had been stabbed once in the left side and he had injuries to his legs after being run over."
Pollan said Rutherford, of Slate Springs, was transported to Baptist Memorial Hospital – North Mississippi and was listed in stable condition Thursday.
Calhoun County deputies, along with Chickasaw County deputies and Okolona police, arrested Christina Rutherford, 35, of Okolona, and Phillip Earnest, 44, of CR 173 in Okolona early Wednesday night.
Both Christina Rutherford and Earnest are charged with aggravated assault and are in the Calhoun County Jail under no bond and awaiting arraignment.
"At this point in our investigation, it appears Mr. Rutherford confronted Mrs. Rutherford and Earnest got involved," said Pollan. "We believe Earnest stabbed Mike Rutherford and Christina Rutherford then backed over Rutherford with a 2006 Nissan Altima and left the scene."
Pollan said authorities are looking for the knife involved in the incident and "believe it to be similar to a pocketknife."
Pollan said Calhoun County judges were in Philadelphia this week for training. He said Christina Rutherford and Earnest will probably be arraigned and bond set Friday.

Skip to comments.Reverend Fred Phelps: 'God Hates Lady Gaga'
Posted on 12/23/2009 7:53:44 PM PST by tlb
Fred Phelps, the hate-happy pastor of Wesboro Baptist Church, has, rather belatedly, discovered Lady Gaga- and now is calling for a boycott of the hussy's "pretentious prancing." If this weren't so crazy, it would be a masterpiece of absurdist prose:
I think we can do no better than to quote the Reverend's press release in its entirety:
"Thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed...Will He reserve His anger forever? Will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest." Jer 3:3,5
"Art" and "fashion" are the euphemisms, the guise under which proud whore Lady Gaga teaches rebellion against God (incidentally, her claim to the title of "lady" is sound only if she tacks on "of the night," thereby alluding to another euphemism of what she is.) As much as she'd like to pretend otherwise, there's nothing new or different about this particular hussy's pretentious prancing. Does the simple slut truly think that she can change God's standards by seducing a generation of rebels into joining her in fist-raised, stiff-necked, hard-hearted rebellion against Him? Get real!
Even as she gives lip-service to "liberating" her young fans, Lady Gaga brings them into slavery to their own corruption, teaching them to glory in their shame. She hates you! "For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness...While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption!" 2 Pet. 2:18-19
I guess the "Dead US soldiers are going to hell" schtick is losing it's shock appeal, so they are searching for something new. Keep looking.
I ain't no fan of Lady Gaga, but even less a fan of self righteous Bible Thumpin' men!
What is a Lady Gaga?
Lady Gaga?
I do not understand why this guy gets any press at all. Westboro Baptist Church is CINO (Church in name only) and I know why he gets press because the MSM tries to paint us all with the Fred Phelps brush so that we can all be hate filled whack jobs...oh well.
I had to google Lady Gaga to even know who or what she was. She's bascially a Madonna clone from years ago.
Phelps needs help.
I truly wish he would stop calling himself a Baptist, he's not. And while I can't stand listening to Lady Gaga, at least she's not harassing people at funerals.Is he still pals with Gore?
Guess the old Fart has never seen a bleached blond hooker in his life. Maybe that should be seen one with the lights on.
Oh, one is so tempted to agree! Pop culture doesn't come any stupider than Lady Gaga.
But, reason prevails ... just shoot yourself, Fred Phelps, and put us all out of your misery.
Is this Phelps guy even a seminary trained ordained minister? I have my doubts.
"Jersey Shore" is a close second.
He's not a minister in any normal sense of the word. More like a cult leader, a white Reverend Wright. He's a disbarred liberal lawyer and Al Gore supporter.
God Hates Lady Gaga? Good. My pop-culture-attuned coworker sez she's been muscling in on Britney's territory, but is neither young nor pretty enough to be worthy of even unlatching Britney's sandal strap.
The Phelps Folks are great at Satire.
I've missed that, except in Real Life, my mom's family all spent summers on the Jersey Shore, at Ocean City.
Is ANYONE considered a serious minister in this day and age proclaiming that dancing will send you to hell? I thought we settled that argument after the controversy over Elvis swinging his hips.
Phelps needs a seriously large cup of STFU.
Fred Phelps is going to hell too.
Although I still think there is one too many "a"s in her last name.
No, it is a family cult of about 80, many of them lawyers and Phelps is a democrat politician.
God hates Lady Gaga?
Can't be cuz the man say "everybody like gaga, you dont believe me ask yo baby fada"
He's a lawyer, I think. I believe they're a family of lawyers. Good friends of the Gores from way back when Al was running for POTUS the first time.
This is schtick they're doing. Anti-Christian theater... a real life Dana Carvey's "Church Lady".
And people buy into it.
It would be nice if the inbred Phelps family would drastically reduce their carbon footprint.
Truth bump.
There is nothing "reverend" about Fred Phelps. There is essentially NOTHING Christian about Fred Phelps. Fred is an attention-whore.
That being said - Every single translation of the Bible I have read (and I have read SEVERAL - from the 1611 King James through the newer modern translations and paraphrases like the NLT and The Message (hard to call them Bibles...but that is another issue) - ALL of them paint a picture of a GOD who loves His creation - period.
God loves Lady Gaga, God loved Hitler, God loves Obama, God loves you and me. But that doesn't mean our behavior doesn't disgust Him. That doesn't mean he does not HATE the sin. But John 3:16 clearly states the base of this - For God so loved the WORLD, that He gave His only begotten Son, that Whosoever would believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It doesn't say God love the perfect people, because the same Bible says that "For ALL have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God". Also: "There are none righteous, no not one". "We ALL as sheep have gone astray, each one going his own way...".
Phelps is a SELF-righteous snake who is a stumbling block for many people. He causes people to turn AWAY from God and His Son, Christ Jesus.
Lady Gaga may very well be a tramp who is going to Hell - but that is not for Phelps to judge. If he feels called to share the wonderful truth of the Gospel, that Jesus came to set her free from her sinful life, to pay the sin debt she could not pay, and rose again making a way to a restored relationship with God, and an eternity in His presence... then that would be completely appropriate. But to just say that God hates her is not only inappropriate, but is completely wrong - and a total abomination in teaching.
I didn't know either, so I used Google images.
Lady Gaga:
There was a time when Fred was at least funny though. I remember when he paid a guy to fly all around and over a gay pride parade with a big banner that said "AIDS - God's cure for homos."
Somebody that obsessed with fags has got to be suppressing something.
My cousin is a soft core white chick rapper in LA. I told her I heard Lady Gaga and I thought it was a crime that gaga had a contract and she didn't. For a good laugh see how she rapped her wedding vows at the link. Mom is a former nun, dad is a former priest, hubby's family is straight up Muslim. Best wedding I have been to in awhile!
Yeah, he's hiding the fact that he's a friend of Algore and a Democrat, spending his life trying to make conservatives look bad by pretending to be an insane "conservative".
Oh, and he and his whole family are lawyers.
"You go to Hell and you Die!"
Hey Rev.........BITE ME!!
I heard Phelps went to the same divinity school as Al Gore. Gore got flunked out for peeking into Phelps' soul and Phelps eventually graduated. < / sarcasm >
God loves every human being and wants us to come to Him. God even loves Fred Phelps.
Which is why He is God and I'm not, btw.
The last time I checked,G-d loves all of His children,even when we tick Him off. I'm sure He even loves Madoff,even though he hurt so many people.It's shameful that a fellow Jew would do something so terrible.He gives a bad name to our people.
Very interesting a semi nude female in stockings singing a song.

French player uses all sorts of unorthodox shots in quick victory over Australian qualifier Greg Jones.
With his leaping volleys, behind-the-back blocks and through-the-legs swats, Gael Monfils has the full bag of tricks.
The Frenchman clearly likes to entertain on court - but he likes winning more.
"It is hard, this question," he says, when asked about his penchant for playing up to a Heineken Open crowd that has now swelled to encouraging proportions.
"Honestly, I want to win the point. I try the shot because I think it is the best shot I can do. Yes, sometimes it is freaky, between the legs or a jump. But if you can jump to reach the ball you will jump. It is called a show, and that is nice, but I jump first to catch the ball and win the point."
The trick shots may have produced a mixed bag of results, but so far in Auckland this week Monfils has had little trouble winning points.
Yesterday, he cruised into the quarter-finals with a routine 6-4, 6-3 66-minute victory over Australian qualifier Greg Jones.
Monfils will face the equally impressive third seed Tommy Haas, who demolished Dutchman Igor Sijsling 6-3, 6-4 in just 56 minutes.
Top seed and defending champion David Ferrer had significantly more difficulty progressing to his eighth Auckland quarter-final, with Taiwanese battler Yen-Hsun Lu pushing the Spaniard to three sets. Ferrer was shaky on serve throughout but managed to negotiate the tricky Lu 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 in just under two hours.
Ferrer now faces Slovakian Lukas Lacko in today's quarter-finals.
Ranked just 378, Jones was the giant killer of round one when he knocked out sixth seed Jurgen Melzer. But the rangy Aussie couldn't repeat the feat against the classy Monfils. The Frenchman's serve was pretty much impenetrable despite his first serve percentage dipping to just 51, and his ace count dropping from 19 in his opening match to just three yesterday.
If anything, those underwhelming numbers indicated the former No 7 was in cruise mode. The frequency with which the trick shots came out of the bag also suggested it was hardly life-or-death stuff for the highly entertaining but erratic Frenchman.
"Everything was good but it wasn't a great game," Monfils said. "I was too shy with my shots. I can go for more with my forehand, be closer to the baseline and reach the net more. I'm happy because I ran well and put the ball in play but I am not happy that that is the way I should play."
He's been the victim of some terrible line calls in his two matches so far, however Monfils says his remonstrations with the officials are just part of his on-court shtick.
"I love to talk with the umpire. People say I lose my concentration [because] you are talking but no matter what, you want to win and you stay focused. I just love to talk. It is part of the show."
After an injury-plagued 2012, Monfils needed a wildcard to get into Auckland. He's still concerned about his fitness, but otherwise the game that carried him inside the top 10 as recently as mid-2011 appears to be coming back nicely.
"In my head I never dropped," he said. "Yeah, I am ranked 99 but I keep practising the same. If I can keep going I'll be better soon. I hope so."
Today's match against Haas, another former top 10 regular, shapes as a classic. "He very talented, he's got every shot, so it will be interesting."

The Board of Commissioners approved an agreement between the Fire Department of Mt. Juliet and WEMA Monday.
The agreement has been on the floor a few times before, but several changes were demanded. There are still changes to be made, but Vice Mayor James Maness said it was best to get the process rolling so that the agreement can be finalized.
"This is the time to get something done," said Maness. "The window we have to get this thing resolved is closing on us."
Assistant Chief Jamie Luffman said he needed to meet with county officials, and the changes would be brought back to the board on second reading.
In other business, the board accepted $11,100 from Modern Woodmen of America for development of the Jones Family Park near the intersection of N. Mt. Juliet Road and Old Lebanon Dirt Road. A sand volleyball court is there now.
Also, the board approved to apply and pay a matching portion of a grant that would go to the construction of a Belinda Parkway pederstrian connector from the new Chuck E. Cheese to Mundy Park, and a sidwalk connector from Stone Hollow to Mt. Juliet High School.

To box or not to box?
Jean Lefebvre

Much breath has been wasted debating the merits of pugilism in hockey. And when we say wasted, we mean that both the Let 'Em Go crowd and the Won't Somebody Think of the Children faction have dug in their heels pretty deeply on the matter and no amount of Don Cherry knuckle-dragging propaganda nor holier-than-thou tsk-tsking will change a single mind on the subject.
But within that largely silent segment of the population that can take it or leave it when it comes to knuckle-chucking, the discussion can be very worthwhile because it avoids the debate-killing mindets of pure blood-lust and absolute pacifism. Wednesday night's scrap between Calgary's Curtis Glencross and Atlanta's Colby Armstrong, for instance, will tend to sway the uncommitted group towards the pro-fisticuffs camp. There was a certain purpose to the scrap, even if that purpose was as basic as Glencross wanting to permanently wipe the smirk off Armstrong's face.
Visits by the Atlanta Thrashers to the Saddledome are almost as rare as visits by the Atlanta Braves, so a goodly portion of the Flames fanbase may not be aware that ex-Red Deer Rebel Armstrong is one of those guys who makes enemies quickly and easily. He hits to hurt and doesn't always put on the brakes after two steamboats have passed since the intended target of a check has ride himself of the puck. Sure enough, he wasted little time getting on Flames players' nerves on Wednesday and Glencross in particular was looking for 454 grams of flesh.
So when the gloves finally came off, there was a fury -- almost a joy -- in Glencross' punching that spoke volumes about his feelings for Armstrong. One is tempted to add that the linesmen's slow reaction to enter the scene when Armstrong got into sweater-over-the-head trouble is testament that the Thrasher winger's unpopularity goes beyon the opposition, but perhaps this was only a coincidence. In any event, Glencross was very pleased with himself when he was finished throwing haymakers and he even spastically dusted his hands on his way to the penalty box. No doubt there were also many smiles on the Flames bench and, for that matter, in the living rooms of NHLers across the continent.
Will Glencross' decisive win deter Armstrong from future head-hunting and annoying? Not bloody likely, but this particular example of frontier justice still seems to be an infinitely better vindication for the tolerance for fighting than the orchestrated and highly predictable tussles between the four-minute-game dancing bears most teams keep on their rosters for mostly dubious reasons.
"was looking for 454 grams of flesh."
Absolutely priceless.
December 11 2009, 10:39AM
Holy crap, I can't believe I missed watching this game. Glencross MAN-HANDLED Armstrong. Maybe he should change his name to Armweak.
OK, I'm sorry. That was a joke my dad would have made.
Seriously, that was a decisive fight. Nice to see Armstrong get the "business" for being such a sh1t disturber.
