President Bush and the First Lady addressed an estimated 600 faith-based and community practitioners and members of the local community interested in mentoring programs and prisoner re-entry issues during an appearance Friday, April 1, 2005, at Paul Public Charter School in Washington DC. The president was promoting his Helping America's Youth initiative. The President and Mrs. Bush also offered their prayers for the Pope

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "The faith-based program is one that is going to be -- remain a constant part of my administration. Obviously, there's some limitations on the faith program. You can't take federal money to proselytize. You can't take federal money and discriminate against somebody based upon religion. In other words, if you're an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program, you happen to be associated with the Methodist church, you can't say only Methodists who are drunk can come here. You got to say all drunks are able to come here. (Laughter.) In other words, there is some limitations. (Applause.) There are limitations to how this federal money can be used."

ENJOY YOUR VISIT TO SANITY ISLAND!

Good day and thanks for the Dose. These threads truly have been a dose of sanity in an increasingly troubled FR forum lately.
I Wish I could have Seen it! Hopefully, it will be Repeated.
I dunno...I went to c-span.org and looked at their tv schedule and it was only on there for 5:31 pm unless they replay it again at 8 or 9 and it's not listed. It was very sweet and the beginning. when she introduced him he kissed her. I really love her shoes!! lol But they'd kill my feet.
Prayers for the Pope
