The President had a very busy day today, leaving this morning for New Orleans, Louisiana, appearing first at a roundtable discussion on faith-based initiatives, then at Union Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church where he spoke to faith based and community leaders, and finally at a fundraising luncheon at the National D Day Museum.

He then traveled to Atlanta, Georgia where, accompanied by Coretta Scott King and King's daughter, Christine King Ferris, he placed a wreath on the tomb of Martin Luther King, Jr. on what would have been his 75th birthday, and this evening is at a fundraiser this evening with Democrat, Zell Miller, who will be campaigning for the President‘s reelection this year (Go, Zell!)

Enjoy this MUCH needed visit to Sanity Island as you revel in your Daily Dose of Dubya!!

Ohio, I'm a bit late, but thanks for the great pics. Glad Mrs. King was gracious to our Pres.
Eric and mystery's Mike remain in my daily prayers.

It was really interesting, not too long at all!
I hope I wasn't out of line, I was just concerned for you.
You can tell me to MMOB if you want...I'll understand.

Sometimes I don't know when to clam up, I guess!

[texasflower]

No!!! You weren't out of line AT ALL. I really and truly appreciate the concern. That's one of the great things about this place right? We're family!

[gwb4t3]

I don't know if you all heard already... but that Carol Mosley Braun character dropped out of the Presidential race!

1 down, 8 more to go!

I agree about todays speech. When he speaks from the heart no notes, he really comes across. This is what the dems and the Euros can't stand because they can't speak from the heart nor no homesty in them.

Your comments remind me of the awesome day when I left the Episcopal Church, which I would still love if they could stick with the Scriptures regarding sin, and visited the tail end of a service at a full gospel church for the first time. I sat transfixed, listening to the preacher. I told him in later years that I had never in my life sat for 20 minutes together and heard nothing but truth come out of a person's (the minister's) mouth. I didn't know it was possible! Needless to say, I stayed in that church, and am forever grateful for finding the way that turned my steps there.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Hey Nebraska..
How's doing?
Went out very briefly today...been messing with frozen pipes all day, got a trickle of water now...
Hanging out in a cold basement did not make my knee happy, and has just done wonders for my usually charming temperment! :-(

Thanks for your concern, I really do appreciate it, it made my day!

Ms.B

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Right!
Me heart was in the right place!

What is WRAMC?

[GretchenEE]

If Dean is willing to tell the world about his panic attacks and related problems, I can only wonder what he isn't disclosing. It's possible he is sandbagging himself as he gets closer to a possible successful run as the dem candidate, having a divided mind as to his ability to carry off not only the presidential run, but (hahahaha) the presidency.

In other words, I think his fears are speaking for him.

[GretchenEE]

Algore would fit right in next to Treebeard, and might learn a thing or two.

[GretchenEE]

Thank you for posting that about MLK's mother and the minister. I must have been way out to lunch when it happened because I don't remember hearing of it. Do you recall the year or the general time frame?

[GretchenEE]

I can't see your pictures -- logged on the day after you posted them. waah

[texasflower]

Hopefully you can see these-I could still view them so I thought I would try to repost them.

[omegatoo]

My server overloaded this morning. I can't upload them from here (I'm at work), but I think I can download them and freepmail them to you. Give me a few minutes.

[omegatoo]

I can't get to freepmail from here, but I have another idea. I have them posted on Yahoo photos, so you should be able to see them.....
Here
Hopefully.
If that doesn't work, you can freepmail me your e-mail, and I'll send them to you when I get home tonight.

Great pics!....What a wonderful experience. I'm just a little envious ;-)

I just discovered the text that I saved for "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" on my hard drive, from that web page that isn't up any more. He interspersed the text with some of our favorite presidential, and other, photos. The dude sounds like a FReeper.

A cowboy's in the White House. [childhood photo of W on a horse]

It used to tick me off when the Muslim detractors in the Middle East, or the socialist detractors in Europe, Hollywood and others called our President a cowboy, but the more I think about it, the more glad I am that he is. [photo of W in blue suit taking off a white cowboy hat, standing at podium with people behind him]

When I was a kid, cowboys were my heroes. [John Wayne photo]

Well, I mean the ones in the white hats, not the black hats, who were usually the bad guys.

There was Tex Ritter, Tom Mix, Buck Jones,

Hopalong Cassidy, the Lone Ranger.....

there was Red Ryder, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers......

then later, there was Marshall Matt Dillon, Hoss & Li'l Joe Cartwright,

the most decorated cowboy hero - Audie Murphy,

Paladin, Maverick and others....

What were common attributes of these legendary cowboys?
Here are a few:

1. They were never looking for trouble.
2. But when trouble came, they faced it with courage.
3. They were always on the side of right.
4. They defended good people against bad people.
5. They had high morals.
6. They had good manners.
7. They were honest.
8. They spoke their minds and they spoke the truth, regardless of what people thought or "political correctness," which no one had ever heard of back then.
9. They were a beacon of integrity in the wild, wild West.
10. They were respected. When they walked into a saloon (where they usually drank only sarsaparilla), the place became quiet, and the bad guys kept their distance.
11. If in a gunfight, they could outdraw anyone. If in a fist fight, they could beat up anyone.
12. They always won. They always got their man. In victory, they rode off into the sunset.

Those were the days when there was such a thing as right and wrong, something blurred in our modern world, and denied by many.

Now, as a senior citizen, I still like cowboys. [photo of Bush in white cowboy hat with Olympic flame burning behind him]

They represent something good -- something pure that America has been missing.

Ronald Reagan was a cowboy. [photo of Reagan with horse] I like Ronald Reagan, who was brave, positive, and who gave us hope. He wore a white hat. To the consternation of his liberal critics, he had the courage to call a spade a spade and call the former Soviet Union what it was -- the evil empire. Liberals hated Ronald Reagan. [photo of Reagan]

They also hate President Bush because he distinguishes between good and evil. [photo of Bush in cowboy hat with Christmas tree behind him] He calls a spade a spade, and after 9-11 called evil "evil," without mincing any words, to the shock of the liberal establishment. That's what cowboys do, you know. [flight deck photo]

He also told the French to "put their cards on the table" (old West talk), which they did, exposing their cowardice and greed. [flight deck photo with pilot]

The radical Muslims are wrong.* [W in truck, wearing cowboy hat]

In the old West, might did not make right. [photo of W at inaugural ball, flashing the presidential seal on his cowboy boot]

Right made might.

Cowboys in white hats were always on the side of right, and that was their might.

I am glad my President is a cowboy. [landing on USS Abraham Lincoln]

He got his man! [two photos of the captured Saddam]

Cowboys do, you know. [God bless America graphic; photo of W at his ranch; W with the troops]

I Support Our President
Freedom Isn't Free
Support Our Troops

I meant to say John Kerry "sad face" would fit in right next to Treebeard and might learn a thing or two.

How did you define your FR search to pull up the posts about Jan that MamaB had put up a while ago?

Thanks for pulling up and posting her information. It does help to see the larger picture.
