Dose on the way.

Please wait to post photos till the all clear.

Thanks Gretchen..good to have an early Dose.

Good timing... usually I'm in the hundreds :-)

Thanks.

The new ads are quite good.

They have our President saying that he approved the ads. Different idea. I guess that is to distinquish between others that may slam Kerry late on in the campaign.

Bump.

Hi Gretchen,

Here, here.

Made the mistake of visiting the "Bush Silences Critics" thread about Howard Stern.

Somebody cares more about having Stern on the radio, than our W in the White House. Of course, it is all Bush's fault.

Free Republic is getting vewwwy scawwwwy lately. :0)

Thnaks for The Dose Gretchen!
Wonderful pictures!
Good evening everyone...
Ms.B

I received notice of quite a few changes to the prayer list last night so please be sure to take note of the new people added and offer praise for the safe return home of others.

Psalm 92

¹ It is good to give thanks to the LORD,
        And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
       ²To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning,
        And Your faithfulness every night,
       ³On an instrument of ten strings,
        On the lute,
        And on the harp,
        With harmonious sound.
       ⁴For You, LORD, have made me glad through Your work;
        I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

       ⁵O LORD, how great are Your works!
        Your thoughts are very deep.
       ⁶A senseless man does not know,
        Nor does a fool understand this.
       ⁷When the wicked spring up like grass,
        And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
        It is that they may be destroyed forever.

       ⁸But You, LORD, are on high forevermore.
       ⁹For behold, Your enemies, O LORD,
        For behold, Your enemies shall perish;
        All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

       ¹⁰But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
        I have been anointed with fresh oil.
       ¹¹My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies;
        My ears hear my desire on the wicked
        Who rise up against me.

       ¹²The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
        He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
       ¹³Those who are planted in the house of the LORD
        Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
       ¹⁴They shall still bear fruit in old age;
        They shall be fresh and flourishing,
       ¹⁵To declare that the LORD is upright;
        He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

President Bush is in Los Angeles today...
There were only a few FR-related folks at this event today. :(

Fortunately, we had a little help from some OTHER friends:

Iranian-Americans, USC CRs, L.A. FReepers join forces to greet President Bush at Shrine Auditorium
President Bush to Visit LOS ANGELES - Wednesday (3/3) - 5:45 p.m. at the Shrine Auditorium ^ | March 3, 2004 | RonDog
Posted on 03/03/2004 8:23:18 PM PST by RonDog

I just got back from an AMAZING rally to support President Bush at the Shrine Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles, right across the street from the University of Southern California.
Wow.
I thought that **I** was intense.
It is a good thing that these Iranian-American patriots are on OUR side. :o)
