Indoensia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono met with the president after the US Senate confirmed Judge Priscilla Owen, 56-43, for the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals (New Orleans). President Bush visited the first integrated gasoline/hydrogen in North America, located in DC.

Condi Rice had a lunch meeting with Bono, of U2, at the State Department.

I understand that Laura is home but I didn't see any photos of her return.

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island.

QUOTE: "We [President Yudhoyono and Bush] had a very good conversation today. We talked about a variety of subjects, all aimed about making our countries more peaceful and more prosperous, and the world more peaceful. Indonesia will play a large role, and a significant role, in helping us understand that great religions should co-exist in a peaceful way."

"This is a time to celebrate the achievement of millions of Americans of Asian Pacific ancestry. Today, Asian Pacific Americans are making their mark in all walks of life, including business and politics, and education and community service, and the arts and science."

The U.S. Senate confirmed Texan Priscilla Owen for the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. Texas Judge Priscilla Owen in the Oval Office of the White House, July 16, 2002.

Even considering the source, I found this interesting. Washington Post's take on Bush's USSC Nomination Scenarios. Excerpt: "Among those most often mentioned by insiders are Judges J. Michael Luttig and J. Harvie Wilkinson III of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit; John G. Roberts of the D.C. Circuit; Michael W. McConnell of the 10th Circuit; Emilio M. Garza of the 5th Circuit; former solicitor general Theodore B. Olsen [whom, the article mentions later, Bush may consider too old, at 64, as the president would want someone who could sit on the bench for 25 years]; and former deputy attorney general Larry D. Thompson. Although Bush has praised Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, White House advisers doubt he would elevate either to chief justice."

President Bush takes hold of the fuel nozzle from Rick Scott, Operation Safety Coordinator, during his visit to a Hydrogen Fueling Shell Service Station in Washington.

A convoy of Danish military vehicles drive past an Iraqi boy during a military security operation near Iraq's second largest city of Basra, February 26, 2005. President Bush will travel to Denmark, a staunch ally in the war in Iraq, to meet Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen on July 6, the Danish leader's office said in a statement on May 25 2005. Denmark has more than 500 troops stationed in the south of Iraq, which was one subject of talks between Bush and Rasmussen in their meeting in Washington last week.

On this day in
1787:
U.S. Constitutional Convention opened in Philadelphia

Stimulated by severe economic troubles, which produced radical political movements such as Shays's Rebellion, and urged on by a demand for a stronger central government, a convention of delegates from the states met in the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia beginning this day, ostensibly to amend the Articles of Confederation. All the states except Rhode Island responded to an invitation issued by the Annapolis Convention of 1786 to send delegates. The delegates included such leading figures of the period as George Washington, who was elected to preside, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, James Wilson, John Rutledge, Charles Pinckney, Oliver Ellsworth, and Gouverneur Morris.
