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.
Good morning IG, rain has moved out here for a spell and it feels good.
You told me once before but need that information again, I need a good eating corn to plant, that stuff I planted this year is small, real small. You told me what to put in the soil to help it grow but I need that one seed that gives me a golden, sweet corn. Freep me by private reply if you would. Toby
Did ya see Monica's response to Bill Clinton and what he had to say about her in his book? She jumped him good.
Good morning.

Good morning! Coffee has already gone down gullet.
HA!!!! I have barely had half of my first cup.
It's raining here.
The headline reads: Bush Boosters Bash Movie
No bias there...none at all.
Of course not.
G'mornin Toby. You need lots of nitrogen to grow good corn. Plenty of nitrogen and regular watering will make up for less than perfect soil.
We like the "Peaches & Cream" vaiety of sweetcorn. It is a mixture of white & yellow kernels so you have to watch it carefully, it can be almost mature before you realize it.
I'm sure you know this, but I'll say it anyway. To check for maturity, you slip the silks back gently and stick your thumb nail into a plump round kernel. If milk flies from the kernel when you pop it, the corn is ready to eat.
Here is a google link to the page of info & suppliers:

If only we could get the liberals of America to take this threat to our existance seroiusly.
Thanks, sweetie, but still not getting pic of Lennie.
Did you try copying & pasting the "Properties"? That's what I had to do to get the pic.
Thanks, again. I put this in my 'to do garden book'.
The corn I am getting is very good to eat and yep, know how to see is it is ready, it is just small ears, very small.
Oh how I wish.
I have no problem with an eye for an eye in these situations.
How does one do that?
