President Bush had some strong words to Syria to get out of Lebanon, noted here.
He and Vice President Cheney welcomed and congratulated the World Series Cham-peens, the Boston Red Sox, who ended a drought of Biblical proportions with their first World Series win in 86 years. With Speaker Hastert and Senator Stevens, he presented the Congressional Gold Medal to Jackie Robinson's widow, Rachel Robinson, in the name of her husband.
In Arnold, Maryland, the president participated in a job training and education dialogue, linked here.
Secretary of State Condi Rice attended a one-day London meeting, info here, to discuss Iran's nuclear life, the Palestinians, etc. She put off a planned trip to Canada next month, a move seen as a rebuff over Canada's rebuff of the North American missile shield.
Senator Kerry positioned himself obscenely close to the president at Bush's remarks honoring Jackie Robinson.
Other than that crude interruption, enjoy today's visit to Sanity Island.
What do you mean lately? Hasn't he always looked like a loser? :)
Thank you
Those are great pictures! Thank you :)
If that truly is your problem, then in some ways you're lucky, because there are effective medications that can help a LOT in controlling the mood swings. In other ways, it's not lucky, because that's a serious problem and would likely be something you have to deal with all your life. You'll have to learn to understand yourself in ways that most people never have to. It's a lot of work, but it can be a growing experience too.
In the end, if this is the problem, it will come down to your having the fortitude and maturity to seek out the help you need, then to stick with both the therapy and medication and see it through.
Sometimes it helps just to have the determination day after day to say, "I'm going to show the world I can deal with this, and come out on top." (That's true regardless of what obstacle we're facing, and everybody faces obstacles and challenges in their life.)
I can't emphasize enough that you need to work very hard to let your psychologist know exactly what you're experiencing during these mood swings. Any competent psychologist can recognize bipolar disorder. But a psychologist is not equipped to deal with a bipolar patient alone, because they are not an M.D. and they can't prescribe medication.
Prayer helps in all things, and we will pray for you and with you. Keep us posted on your progress.
Condi Vs. Hillary? It's possible
She's been secretary of state for less than a month, but Condi Rice has so wowed Washington and the world during her two foreign trips that there's new buzz she's blazing a trail to the presidency. The talk started inside Bush circles when Siena College in New York State issued a poll showing big support for a 2008 White House run by Rice.
It caught fire last week when insiders revived an old rumor that Vice President Cheney would retire for "health reasons" and be replaced by Rice. "She's the leading Republican woman in the race," brags a friend, "and her numbers are high with men and women. That's unheard of." Well, almost. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's popularity among men and women polled by the Siena Research Institute was even higher. Still, a black conservative woman with rich government experience? "That's the dream resume," says a GOP strategist. "Very formidable," adds another. And she's fun, be it hosting a party on her jet to watch a tape of the Super Bowl or trying out new fashions. "She is," cheers one pal, "the supermodel secretary of state."
The 2008 Five
Five Democrats have begun informal staff interviews for 2008 presidential runs, according to a few who've been interviewed. So far, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is dubbed "the most aggressive" in seeking out aides, followed by Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack . The others are Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards , and 2004 candidate Sen. John Kerry .

Go, Condi, go!!!!
Thanks for those pictures, anonymoussierra. I especially like the ones of Laura Bush.
**Any competent psychologist can recognize bipolar disorder. But a psychologist is not equipped to deal with a bipolar patient alone, because they are not an M.D. and they can't prescribe medication.**
Yeah, my psychologist kept telling me that it would be a lot easier for her to help me once I'm on medication. I just thought of something though. Now I'll probably never be able to join the Air Force because I'll always be on medication. :( Of course, it probably wasn't going to work out anyway because I'm going back to college this fall and after that, it wasn't likely to fit into my plan very well but I think now it's pretty much been decided for me.
Yayyyy!!! If Condi runs, that automatically eliminates me supporting anyone else. Interestingly enough, though, it seems as though it's everyone else who wants Condi to run. She's never said anything about it, as far as I know. Which makes her a bit of an oddity among presidential contenders, I think. (Not in a bad way. I think it shows she's not as egotistical as a lot of people in politics.)
Thank you
Ooooooo! Loved that close-up of Barney and Beezie! I hadn't seen that one before. They are so cute together. Wonder how well they get along.
Ahhhhh! Much better! Don't need the Sore Loser messing up the landscape!
I couldn't help but comment! It was hilarious how she was trying so hard to insert herself into this historic occasion! I can only imagine what W was thinking, but you know how his face gives him away!;^)
Wellllll--I seem to be talking to myself, so I think it is time to say good night! Gotta go to work in the morning anyhow. See y'all tomorrow! Loved all the pics!
You are very correct! LOL!
" Here is a photo from the 2000 campaign I posted on yesterday's dose earlier today which received rave reviews so for those who have not seen it here it is. The fan follows because of earlier comments LOL"
Is there any way to get a more close up of GW in that picture?
Of course I am. I'm always right :) Or at least, that's what I tell my mother all the time.
We'll be expecting a good report!!
