Great Photo of the Day, Kaslin! I hope and pray that Condi
and all the other diplomats can sway Russia from their
hell-bent-for-leather takeover of anything that tries to
stand in their way!
I guess they LIKED the “good-ole bad-ole days”!
Oh my. Did someone at the AP or where ever get a little nuts with the Photoshop? Dr. Rice’s skin is the same tint as French’s Mustard. She looks normal in other pictures taken in the same spot, so it wasn’t the lighting.
Thank you! and THANK YOU FOR THE DOSE, too!
You’re welcome
Condoleezza Rice - Our True North
Yeah it seems like they want to return to that time again
It's another way to have our conservative voices heard and FELT in the pocket book. More will follow if we support them!
David said that he would e-mail relatives with a really good article, citing an article by Charles Krauthammer and his "family members" would say CK is a nut! He said that he thinks that Republicans think Dims are wrong, but that Dims think Republicans are bad...then SH said, no..they think we're evil.
Pretty right on.
Let's support DAVID Zucker's new movie - Oct 3 - American Carol.
Ohhhhh, LOTS of pix of my favorite Secretary of State. Thanks.
Nord.....sounds like youwere you watching Hannity & Colmes...
amazing how Bob Beckel and Colmes tried to shift the discussion when Hannity reported the fact that Obama DID vote against giving medical help to babies born alive after an attempted abortion.
kaslin: Thank you for posting the DOSE tonight — great job per usual!

IS “W” THE SIGNAL FOR “THE DARK KNIGHT”?
. . . more analysis
http://www.floppingaces.net/2008/08/17/is-w-the-signal-for-the-dark-knight/
The President will give a speech at the VFW in Florida and then fly to LA to deliver a speech in New Orleans.
It’s hard to know where this will all end. There is just so
much we can do without causing more harm from them. I just
hope that clearer heads will prevail. Putin has a real
chip on his shoulder...has for years!
Yes I was. That is such the Lib way of communicating, isn’t it?
I'm not such a good person. I'm so tempted to NOT be diplomatic about Putin. He's NOT a nice man. (<--woooo, that's strong language for a Minnesotan, former or not ha ha) I'm just warming up ;-)
It might have been the camera
You’re welcome. No photos of W though :(
I saw that. They were both in such denial, it was pathetic
I wonder if the President will be able to go to Orlando tomorrow because of Fay?
I’ve come to the conclusion that President Bush cannot leave office. Tell Laura that we are not going to let him leave. :(
Good evening thanks for the dose
I took photo of a cake I made today for my boss's 60th birthday tomorrow and I had a similar affect with the flash and non flash photo. See below
Yeah, I’m guessing that the photographer didn’t set their camera correctly for florescent lighting. Regular indoor lighting with no flash gives that sort of orange-ish tint. Florescent lighting gives off a weird green-yellow tint and if the photographer doesn’t meter their light correctly, everyone will look like they have the flu. ;-)
