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.

Actually, yes........it was the first run-through, or, more accurately, stumble-through..........(we're doing "Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"). First time we went from start to finish in sequence. Everything is blocked & staged..........now it just needs to be tweaked. That's next week's work. The following week we start rehearsing with orchestra, then tech rehearsal on the 12th, then 3 dress rehearsals, and we're off & running (10 performances.)

It's a fun show, and I had forgotten how SHORT it is.........only about 2 hours, including intermission.

That's great about Boychild! I know you're counting down the days ... maybe even hours ... at this point.

I think I posted pics of both the Ronald Reagan and the Nancy Reagan roses during the week that President Reagan died.

Others have posted the one named for him. Here is the Nancy Reagan rose ...





There is a Barbara Bush rose, also.

We may leave town again tomorrow ... will decide in the morning.

We had an awful trip home today ... heavy traffic, road construction, a stand-still because of an accident ahead, horrible weather, detours, etc. It took us nearly twice as long as normal to get home. We're both exhausted ... but we may strike off in the other direction and go to Wilmington on Saturday. We really need to get down there and do some things at m-i-l's house. We'll make the decision after we've both been up a while and see if we're up to yet another trip. We're pretty sure we're going back to Wilmington next weekend to meet hubby's sister and some of her kids to finish cleaning out the house but there is much we could do this weekend as far as getting stuff packed up and bringing home some of the smaller items.

If we go, we will probably leave after lunch on Saturday and return home Sunday night.

Prayers continue, Kay. God bless you, and (your recently expanded) yours.

Grandbabies are so cool... As long as a child has to take care of them. ;>)

Kay- I can't imagine your drive in that weather.

An alternative would have been to come here for a great dinner. Mrs Raven has found the perfect spaghetti sauce recipe after a multi-decades search. Goodness is it good!! It has things like Milk and chicken livers in it !!

Quote of the day:

“Even if we give first priority to the destruction of terrorist networks, and even if we succeed, there are still governments that could bring us great harm. And there is a clear case that one of these governments in particular represents a virulent threat in a class by itself: Iraq. As far as I am concerned, a final reckoning with that government should be on the table." - Al Gore, Remarks To The U.S. Council On Foreign Relations, Washington, DC, February 12, 2002.

G'morning. I'm waiting on my coffee to brew. 50 degrees here this morning.

I'm helping with another Parade this morning and then we're attending the wedding of one of Son #3's friends. Sonny Boy is in the wedding.
