OMG! Where did SHE come from? Are you ok, Toto?
I've been watching this same phenom happen for 5 years now, on this website. And what amazes me is the people who don't understand that my allegiance to President Bush is just as strong as your loyalty to .....Tom Clancey?
Carmel, Indiana?
There's a Carmel, California as well.
I don't think the two could ever be confused.

A majority of Americans have their doubts about President Bush's handling of Iraq, according to polls released Monday as Bush tries to bolster his public support on the issue.
The proportion of Americans who approve of the way the president is handling Iraq is about one-third or slightly more, depending on the poll.
-A CBS News poll found 34 percent approve, while 61 percent disapprove. An ABC-Washington Post poll found that 40 percent approve, while 58 percent disapprove. Independents disapprove of Bush's handling of Iraq by a 2-1 margin.
-About six in 10 of Americans in both polls and the National Annenberg Election Survey said the Bush administration lacks a clear plan for Iraq.
-Six in 10 in both polls say they think the prisoner abuse in Iraq was done by a few individuals, rather than being widespread behavior. But half in the Annenberg poll said they thought the soldiers involved were following orders.
-A majority, 57 percent, disapprove of the way Bush is handling the Iraqi prisoner abuse situation. That's up from 35 percent who disapproved early this month, the ABC-Post poll found.
-About six in 10 in the CBS poll say they do not think the June 30 handover of power in Iraq will happen, but almost that many said it should happen at that time.
-A majority in the ABC-Post poll, 58 percent, said U.S. troops should stay in Iraq until civil order is restored.
The ABC-Post poll of 1,005 adults and the CBS News poll of 1,113 adults were taken May 20-23. Each has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The Annenberg poll of 1,997 adults was taken May 17-23 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

If I was sitting on my fat ass all day eating ho ho's, twinkies and drinking diet soda while watching Couric, Sawyer, Lauer, Gibson and Winfrey, I'd be as clueless as my cat, too.
I do wonder if clancy has to be "on the reservation" in order keep getting his books onto the big screen.
excellent picture bump
ATTENTION ALL FREEPERS: GET THE WORD OUT ON TALK RADIO TOMORROW!!
DON'T LET SEMINAR CALLERS SKEW THE TRUTH!!
When did he have a bike fall? Didn't hear about that one... LOL but it's better than a pretzel attack ;) BTW I thought he did fine.
I thought the speech was a good one. Even my middle of the roader friend liked it. I thought the ending was fantastic......
"The failure of freedom would only mark the beginning of peril and violence. But, my fellow Americans, we will not fail. We will persevere and defeat the enemy and hold this hard won ground for the realm of liberty."
That last sentence is a keeper.
It seems the DNC fax machines worked overtime to distribute the democrat party talking points. Nothing new, more of the same, so what, bla bla bla.
It begs for a Rush limbaugh montage.
"Graduated in 1977, so I'd guess 48. I don't think she looks that old at all. I'd have guessed low forties."
I graduated in '73 and I'M 48. You think she looks low forties, because she IS low 40's. 44 (or 45 depending what month she was born.)
Speech repeating on Fox News Channel now.
Not done ( and saved to disk ).
He is the same man that helped with setting up the government in Afghanistan from the UN.
I have read about local towns and their getting to pick their own leaders right now. When people have been allowed to vote, the theocratic rule supporters are in the minoriry on a city council (Iraqi blog).
Sadr is not a leader in the majority of Shiites...He is causing too much suffering....He is popular in some segments of society...but so were OJ Simpson and John Gotti, so were Bonnie and Clyde.
Much better than this one:
I think he did't push this to be on the big 3 because if only on cable he gets the political types he was addressing without having to provide equal time to Kerry.
Kerry gets it for sure if it was on public airwaves.
