Also on Tuesday, the Vice President will deliver the keynote address at the Oklahoma City National Memorial ceremony to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building there.
Wednesday, the President makes remarks to the 2005 National and State Teachers of the Year in the Rose Garden. And then he'll make remarks at the U.S.-Hispanic Chambers of Commerce Legislative Conference. Those remarks will be on energy, as I mentioned.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: From the Presidential Radio Address, 4/16/05:
American families and small businesses across the country are feeling the pinch from rising gas prices. If you're trying to meet a family budget or a payroll, even a small change at the pump can have a big impact.
America's prosperity depends on reliable, affordable and secure sources of energy. And today our energy needs are growing faster than our domestic sources are able to provide. Demand for electricity has grown more than 17 percent in the past decade, while our transmission ability lags behind. And we continue to import more than one-half of our domestic oil supply.
Every source of power that we use today started with the power of human invention, and those sources have served us well for decades. Now it's time to apply our knowledge and technology to keep the American Dream alive in this new century. There is nothing America cannot achieve when we put our mind to it. And I urge Congress to work out its differences and pass an energy bill that will help make America safer and more prosperous for the years to come.
***I thought that for years the filing deadline was MARCH 15th?***
You thought right!
I suspect, but can't prove, that it was extended to allow more time for the complexity of gathering the information needed to file a return.
But that's kind of an unflattering pic of Ann (typical of Slime--er, I mean Time). Check out those pointy shoes--looks like they're trying to portray her as "The Wicked Witch" from The Wizard of Oz. All that's missing are striped stockings.
Here are 2 much better ones for you
Hi dmd25, I will add you now.
So, Beezie will turn 6 months old on the 28th and it looks like the President has made his move to take over the puppy. He carried her off Marine One today on their return to the WH.
