Today, President Bush met with Vietnamese Prime Minister, Phan Van Khai in the Oval Office. Khai is visiting Washington to talk with the President about helping Vietnam join the World Trade Organization. It is the first such visit of a Vietnamese leader since the end of the war. He then addressed the Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting via satellite (the text of which is given here ).
The President also met with Republican leaders in the White House at a luncheon, accepting a compromise on Social Security, and refusing to back down on the nomination of John Bolton, urging Bill Frist to continue pushing for an up or down vote for Bolton.
This afternoon, the President attended the swearing in ceremony of Dr. Ben S. Bernanke as new Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Building in the White House complex.
Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island and the Daily Dose!!
LOL! Now THAT's funny!
The troops on the plane were heading out for Iraq, and the President came aboard to thank them before they took off.
There are a number of pictures from that occasion, but I can't seem to recall where or when it was.....
You have FREEPMAIL! :o)
Plus, she's going to a Christian college (a REAL one, not in name only), so she'll have some fellow conservatives there too.
Besides which, she's got an iron will and a belief system a mile deep. She wouldn't be prey for a liberal, even in CA. ;)

Me too!! 8^)
Right! Maine! You triggered my memory. Thanks!
The fellow was VERY confused, Cyber. VERY.
No I have never heard of a Reticule and it is not listed in my Oxford dictionary
Hmm...that's interesting, snugs. The on-line Oxford English dictionary lists reticule as follows:
• noun chiefly historical a woman’s small drawstring handbag.
— ORIGIN French, from Latin reticulum ‘little net
By the way, there's an UK/USA version of that dictionary at:

Thought you might find it fun to look at.
Found it I was using the wrong spelling LOL. Yes it says it is a woman's netted or other bag especially with a drawstring carried or worn to serve the purpose of a pocket
Thank you so much for providing this link. I did not know that W. had done this last September. Great, just simply great.
That's okay .. maybe out statements helped to UN-confuse him.
