President and Mrs. Bush visited the National Archives to view some of our nation's founding documents.
In spite of some Senators Behaving Badly (particularly John Kerry and Barbara Boxer), the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted Wednesday to confirm Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state; the nomination now goes to the full Senate for a vote.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island: one day to go till W2!
The President speaking to the Black Tie and Boots ball is replaying right now on Fox News.
Hello snugs. You still up? FNC is replaying scenes from the Ball. Nice to see it twice.
I am still here must think of turning in soon have a busy day tomorrow at work and want to leave about 2.00pm so that I do not miss anything.
You lived there in an unusual year. DC is just far enough south that the temps get above freezing during the day, so most years there is an ice coating on top of whatever.
Most years, we spend months driving on ice coated snow, or black ice, or the like. A climate cold enough to keep snow instead of turning the top layer into ice is much easier to deal with.
That too bad my dial up was but I have now switched to broadband and I can now watch Cspan.
Back at the ball again
Dropping in to say hi. I've been working lots lately so I haven't gotten to talk to y'all much. I have tomorrow off though and I plan on watching the festivities ALL day (much to the dismay of my mother).
Enjoy yourself tomorrow you have had it tough the last few mnths so enjoy tomorrow the same as I intend to.
Hi all! What fun it's been flipping through the channels to find our guy! I just wish the networks had aired more :( I got to see Ruben Studdard sing a gorgeous version of the Anthem, but missed the fireworks. I missed the Gatlin Brothers... what channel aired him? I got to see all of what CNN carried, they're doing a better job than FNC! MSNBC's also been covering more than FNC form what I've seen. Can't wait til tomorrow!!
Hune on Fox at present at the ball
Cant spell or keys got stuck of course it shoul read Thune.
Thanks :) I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I've got lots of junk food for watching TV and I don't intend to leave my room all day. Again, much to the dismay of my mother. But it's either that or I gloat to her face and I don't think she'd like that any better.
New Senator Thune from S. Dakota. He defeated Senator Daschle, the obstructionist Democrat Leader.
Is he smoking in that picture if so what a bad example
What a great thing to do before his second Inauguration! Visiting our historic documents.
Last week, I was honored to be invited to have lunch with Michael Graham (EMAL 630 AM, on for 3 hours before Rush here in the DC area) and a bunch of his invited guests. Sitting across the table from me was a young lady who works at National Archives and I had a neat time asking her all kinds of questions when Michael had to leave for a taping of "Crossfire".
One thing I'll never forget. She said that THE picture of the Iwa Jima statue, hangs in her office. Wowser.
I am so jealous - being around all that old paper. I love our historic documents and would probably pay someone to let me work there!
I did follow his campaign on the net and I believe the VP campaigned on his behalf and then after the election he went on a pheasant hunt with the VP.
When you get to a live thread, will you ping me? I seem to finally find them when they are over 500 posts, and can never catch up and "get with it".
Thanks.
