2 September 2002 | All of US and various new sources

[Neets]

This Labor Day let us remember those who worked to help build this great country of ours.

Ummmm, Condelesa Rice sure would make a good Sec of State, huh?

[gulfcoast6]

Does this mean Alexander won't run for President? Yea!!!

[Bitwhacker]

Has everyone seen this? It appears that Bob Beckel, the DemoRat attack Dog and former Crossfire host, was caught...ummm...er.....with his pants down, so to speak:

Dem Op Bob Beckel in Court Sex Mess... Pair attempted to extort political analyst

I have only one question: Since they were both in the same profession, how come he didn't get her to comp him out of professional courtesy?

[Mr. Mulliner]

GC, I love it when you meet someone who knows their blessings. You're one of them. I'll pray for you during the next few days that God will remind you of His love for you so you won't miss your wife so much (and that your daughter won't be mad at you).

We took three Sudanese to church with us yesterday. There's a couple that just arrived 2 months ago who came. She doesn't speak English and is very reserved and expressionless. Her husband, though, is very outgoing and smiles a lot. The third guy who came is younger and left during the break without an explanation. His friend said he had to get to work. Anyway, I hope to check up on them often to make sure their adjustment to a very different life is going OK.

Did the A's win AGAIN yesterday??!!!

Can sympathize with you about the Mariners. They seem to have runout of steam.

Thought that probably Alexander won. His opponent was one of the House Managers, Bryant. Hope he can stay in the House???

g6 - YES!! Excellent idea about Rice.

Good morning you 2.

Have to get going. We're headed out to breakfast and then to the farm store to get fresh corn.

[Molly Pitcher]

LOL! What a fine mess Beckel has gotten himself into. ..

Let's see.....am I sympathetic? Do I feel sorry for the poor guy...a victim, no doubt?????

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bitwhacker]

I can just hear it now:

1. It's just about sex...time to move on;
2. This is between him and his family;
3. A person can be professionally great while being personally flawed;
4. While he broke no laws, he used 'questionable judgement' (this is The Torch's defense -- and it's false, they both broke laws, big-time)

Shall I go on???

[Guenevere]

Morning Nita.....Thanks for starting the thread...
...twas very nice of you to let Chairman sleep in :)

Morning ALL :)

John, I was just kidding the other evening.....I really like the chef uniform !!..Really!

[Neets]

Good morning guen...havening a difficult time waking up this morning....

[Mr. Mulliner]

I didn't read that article yesterday, but I did see the headline. That news can't be buried deep enough for our mainstream media, can it?

[The Raven]

Lamar Alexander

[Mr. Mulliner]

I didn't see too many from ATRW last night on that very lively thread, but don't you think we should give them a chance to see what it was all about?

MAINSTREAM REPUBLICANS VS. "HARD" SOCIAL CONSERVATIVES ON FR

[Northern Yankee]

Good Morning all!

Morning Guennie!

Gulf... Blessings to you, my friend. Many of us are in awe of you!

Thanks again, Nita for beginning this thread.

Storms ripped through here overnight, and more are on tap for today. Thankfully, with this next batch of storms it will start to cool down.

My daughter and I enjoyed most of our time at our local parade on Saturday. I did however see some things that were incredibly disturbing by some of my colleagues while at the parade. Let's just say that they were very selfish, and completely intolerant to the community, and to Republican candidates who were at the parade.

I wrote a long lengthy bandwith about it yesterday morning to you all, but decided to delete it. (Descretion is the better part of valor?...) I know that some people have not figured out what's important in life, and I am afraid these include colleagues of mine! Enuff said.

Blessings to you all!

Good morning NY..nice to see you this morning.

MM, yes, that is a thread each should stop by and see, it's up to the 700's already, tho not too surprising.

[lysie]

Good morning Nita and ALL you wonderful people.

The show was great. The opening was spectacular.....lights of red ,white and blue. Short videos of speeches made by FDR, JFK and President Bush were displayed on large screen. On the same screen there were pictures of WTC.... then....our military jets. :-) In the background Brooks was playing the National Anthem on his flag designed quitar....thousands of fans stood as 6 Marines came to the stage to fold the Flag. The applause was deafening.....Poof....red white and blue streamers ALL over the place while they were singing this song.

Sun coming up over New York City.
School bus driver in a traffic jam.
Starin' at the faces in her rearview mirror.
Looking at the promise of the promised land.

One kid dreams of fame and fortune.
One kid helps pay the rent.
One could end up going to prison.
One just might be president.

Only in America,
Dreaming in red, white and blue.
Only in America,
Where we dream as big as we want to.
We all get a chance.
Everybody gets to dance,

Only in America.
Sun going down on an LA. freeway;
Newly-weds in the back of a limousine.
A welder's son and a banker's daughter.
All they want is everything.

She came out here to be an actress.
He was the singer in a band.
They just might go back to Oklahoma,
And talk about the stars they could have been.

Only in America,
Dreaming in red, white and blue.
Only in America,
Where we dream as big as we want to.
Yeah, we all get a chance.
Everybody gets to dance,
Only in America.

Good morning, NY

Your post reminds me....

My daughter and I approached the Pataki's(NYS Republican governor) campaign exhibit for signs and bumper stickers. She has now signed up to recruit young college students at her school. :-)

[LBKQ]

Sounds like the show was awesome. Thanks for the report!

[lysie]

It was...you are welcome.

John Michael Montgomery was there, too.

HOB, the groups had a person sign as they performed. John Michael's signer was a woman. She was so good. Kept in time with the music...truly poetic in he signing.

Well, John must have thought she was good, too. He climbed over a speaker...climbed up a scaffold... just to get on the platform where she was. He gave her a big hig and kiss.

[lysie]

Thanks for the inside links, Molly.

Good Morning, Lysie!

Great to hear! I admire the courage of your daughter, and you.

Hope your day is a blessed one.
