AMERICA - The Right Way!! (WEEKEND EDITION - Days 686 and 687) [Remember the Trade Center!!]

Various News Sources and FReepers | December 7, 2002 | All of Us

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [President Bush]

Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!

GLOBAL WARNING ACTIVIST ALERT!!

December 7 record low temperature:

Washington Dulles Airport - former record: 18 (set various years)
Washington Dulles Airport - new record: 3 (set in 2002)

Other temperatures around the Washington metro area:

Washington: 21 [not a new record]
Richmond: 21
Petersburg: 18
Patuxent River: 14
Roanoke: 13
Fredericksburg: 12
Charlottesville: 12
Lynchburg: 12
Manassas: 0 [ZERO]

Here, at the cottage: a nice, balmy 9.9

Question for the global warming people: considering that current low temperature records for the day were not simply broken, but crushed, does this fit your "models"? Hmmm?

In the news:

Runoff election day in Louisiana. And what would an election be if it didn't have a Criminal Party vote buying scandal? Landrieu is accused of trying to buy military votes with $10 Thanksgiving food gift certificates. The claim is reported in The Washington Times, and comes from Gen. George Peyton Cole, Jr., retired.

North Carolina has activated the National Guard to help storm victims.

And one of the hottest toys this Christmas shopping season? A talking President Bush doll. The Daily News reports the doll says "17 powerful and patriotic phrases," including:

"Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot shake the foundation of America."

"I will not yield. I will not rest. I will not relent in waging this struggle for freedom and security for the American people."

And what would a President Bush doll be without a mangled phrase? They included: "I will not hold this nation hostile."

Reportedly the manufacturer is also planning dolls for JFK, and President Reagan.

[They are also planning one for UOx42, but it is not clear whether one of the phrases for that doll would be: "I never had sex with that woman."]

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

Reading your post made my mouth water. Now I am going to have to get up and go fix something to eat.

[Guenevere]

Just a quick HI to say I read your posts....

I'm not feeling at all well this AM.....

...might be food poisoning, not sure....

..the cheese tasted funny weird at the wedding reception.....UGH!

Back to bed for me!

[Guenevere]

Hi hon....glad you're safe & well!!

[kayak]

Good morning!

Back later with some details of our adventures of the last few days ...... but it may be late this afternoon. Lots to do around here.

(((((ATRW)))))

[Iowa Granny]

Good Morning. Home alone today, due to another day of deer hunting.

Your roast certainly sounds wonderful. No wonder it disappeared in a flash.

Glad to see kassie back and posting. I spent 10 days without electricity a couple years ago, and understand the primitive methods necessary those unable to find a hotel room are enduring.

More Christmas preps on the agenda here, today. I leave on a business trip on Tuesday so whatever is going to be done for Christmas needs to be done today.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Are you using an old ping list, Molly? I didn't get a ping this morning and had to go back a long ways to find the thread because last night I was on the LA election thread with nothing on the ATRW for hours.

[Guenevere]

#103..OK, so why do you think the White House did this the day before the election, and why do you think it impacted the election?

Also, last night, I was half asleep with the TV on, but I thought the DC Gang....Kondracke, Barnes...etc., were panning Terrell for her campaign ads....

...one in particular had a voice sounding like Clinton (but wasn't)....praising the merits of Landrieu, as he highlighted her liberal policies....

...I guess it backfired, but I couldn't tell from the discussion.

Well, I'll check your answer later......off to rest for me.

[kayak]

Oh, Guennie! I hope it's not food poisoning! Get to feeling better real soon, Sweetie!

A special note to our FL FReepers ~~~ Friday evening we saw a whole fleet of power trucks ..... from Florida! They had come to help get people's lights back on. We sure were glad to see them! Next time you see someone from FPL, thank them for us.

[gulfcoast6]

And when they bring home the meat, all will be worth those getting up early, nothing better than deer meat.

[Guenevere]

Poor hubby......I was suppose to help in church nursery today.....he's going to try to fill-in if they need him.

Here I am home sick, and I sooooo wanted to be in that nursery this AM & grab a baby & a rocking chair, and catch up on cuddle time :(

[kayak]
