NYT RUSHES OUT REVIEW REDO (Kinder Review Of clinton Book)
June 25, 2004 -- The New York Times, which last Sunday published a scathing front-page review of Bill Clinton's "My Life," has alerted subscribers that another, much kinder and gentler review is coming July 4 in The New York Times Book Review. Entitled "Confessions of a Policy Wonk" and written by the novelist Larry McMurtry, the prominently placed review calls the book "the richest American presidential autobiography," and says that the former president is a better writer than Reagan, Ford, Nixon or Lyndon Johnson.
Unlike Michiko Kakutani, the author of the June 20 review, who called Clinton's book "eye-crossingly dull," McMurtry evokes authors from Dreiser to Fitzgerald to Balzac — if not in comparison to Clinton, at least in reference to him.
Bush Camp Hits Democrats' 'Coalition of Wild-Eyed' Reuters ^ | 06/24/04
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush's re-election campaign lumped together vocal outbursts by Democrats Al Gore, Howard Dean and others on Thursday and called them part of John Kerry's "Coalition of the Wild-Eyed."
The Bush-Cheney campaign released a video on its Web Site that played up some of the more strident statements Democrats have made on the campaign trail and declared: "This is not a time for pessimism and rage."
The implication the Bush campaign appeared to be trying to leave was that some of the main boosters of Kerry's presidential campaign are filled with rage and perhaps a bit kooky.
"Today, our campaign is releasing a web video to 6 million of our supporters to show them what we're up against and what we're up against is John Kerry's 'coalition of the wild-eyed,"' said Bush campaign manager Ken Melhman.
Cheney Tells Sen. Leahy F*** Off NewsMax.com ^ | 6/24/04 | AP
Vice President Cheney cursed at Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy during a confrontation on the Senate floor while members were having their annual group picture taken earlier this week, Leahy and Senate sources said Thursday.
Senate aides with knowledge of the encounter Tuesday said the vice president confronted Leahy about some of the Democrat's criticism about alleged improprieties in Iraq military contracts awarded to Halliburton Co. Cheney, who as vice president is president of the Senate, is a former CEO of Halliburton.
Leahy responded by criticizing the White House for standing by allies who had accused Democrats of being anti-Catholic last year in opposing one of President Bush's judicial nominees, said one Senate aide, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Cheney then responded, "F-- off" or "F-- you," the aide said.
That account was backed by another aide, also speaking on condition of anonymity.
Leahy, D-Vt., confirmed that the confrontation took place but would not provide details.
"I think he was just having a bad day," Leahy said. "I was kind of shocked to hear that kind of language on the floor."
Cheney's office also wouldn't go into detail, but confirmed the two men traded remarks.
"That doesn't sound like language that the vice president would use, but there was a frank exchange of views," said Kevin Kellems, a spokesman for Cheney.
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
You didn't tell me this fantastic girl/child of yours is also a gardener! Is there anything she doesn't do?

One of the two of you need to send one of the other's out to the others to meet and greet.

All of the armed forces bands are fantastic.~!
How are you doing ????
That's Fantastic. You did a heck of a job getting that many people out of their lazy boy's!
I'm taking off for a bit. I'm going to the County Seat to participate in the Relay for Life on behalf of a friend who is battling a brain tumor.
I'm wearing fleece! BBL
Now that sounds VERY VERY interesting!!!!!!!!
It is.
Trill and I may go to Ft. Worth to see the horses (I don't know, there's something fascinating about large quadrapedal equine vermin that suck all of one's life savings down a drain...). And later, Herbert and her new beau may be out to visit and play pool (We will pick a different venue than my work address... probably).
But, I DON'T CARE. I'M NOT COOKING FOR ANYONE TOMORROW!!! STARVE, D@MN YOU, STARVE!!!!
Not that I'm excited about having a few hours off or anything... ;>)

Having had one, it sounds like a BR bite to me, as well. They put my arm in a sling to keep from working the poison (which is a necrotic) into my muscles.
ROTFLMAO
Dont' worry about it.
I made coconut fried shrimp
I gotta work on a dipping sauce tho.
Don't make me get the soap, young lady... You watch your language. That particular dish is what darn near cost me about 1/3 of my little finger 8>)
Oh, the sauce is honey and orange juice (GOOD orange juice). That's it. Nothing more complex.
And if anyone doesn't know, I HATE coconut shrimp from the shelling of the shrimp to the eating part. I'll leave out the dangerous middle part. ;>)
