Who ever thought a nuclear submarine would be named after Mr. Peanut? I shudder to think that a military vessel of any shape or size could carry Clinton's name. (I hope not--he was impeached, after all.)

PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: With the President, First Lady and the dogs relaxing at the ranch this weekend, there are no new photos to post. So I've selected a theme -- GWB and our Armed Forces -- and found many photos to let us enjoy a walk down memory lane. The theme photos are all from early in his presidency. They show GWB's closeness with our military both before and after 9/11/01.
THE WEEK AHEAD:
Monday, the President travels to Albuquerque, New Mexico. He will be touring the Sandia Laboratory there, and then will be making remarks after signing the comprehensive energy legislation that passed recently.
Tuesday, the President is going to have his economic advisors to the ranch. He will participate in a briefing with them on the state of our economy. Afterwards, GWB will make some remarks and participate in a press availability.
Wednesday, President Bush will traveling to Aurora, Illinois, where he will sign the transportation legislation. Aurora is the largest town in the north-central Illinois congressional district of House Speaker Dennis Hastert.
Saturday, tentative, but the President usually participates in an RNC event in August at the ranch. As of yesterday, the President's schedule was not firmed up beyond Wednesday.
QUOTE OF THE DAY Excerpt from the presidential radio address, Saturday, August 6, 2005:
As families across the country enjoy the summer, Americans can be optimistic about our economic future. In the past four years, our economy has been through a lot: we faced a stock market decline, a recession, corporate scandals, an attack on our homeland, and the demands of an ongoing war on terror.
To grow the economy and help American families, we acted by passing the largest tax relief in a generation. And today, thanks to the tax relief and the efforts of America's workers and entrepreneurs, our economy is strong and growing stronger.
This past week, we learned that America added over 200,000 new jobs in July. Since May of 2003, we've added nearly 4 million new jobs. The unemployment rate is down to 5 percent, below the average of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. And more Americans are working today than ever before in our nation's history.
We need to make the tax relief permanent, end the death tax forever, and make our tax code simpler, fairer and more pro-growth.
You're so very welcome.
G'day, Jonny. I LOVE the graphic you posted, LOL! The last thing our Marxist, peacnik former president needs is to have anything military named after him. Sometimes I wish we could vote on these names, sigh.
LMAO.....just a quick sneak on the thread..Brandon is in his room watching Lady and the Tramp for the zillionth time..!
Bravo, Wolfstar! That was great.

If all America could see the Dose daily - especially selections like these - more of the 30% or whatever percent of those who oppose him on every turn - would see the truth of the hardworking, always Presidential, George W. Bush, and would be so proud (as we are) that this man leads our country and the world.
Hey, Buddy! There's a John Wayne marathon on TCM--all your favorites :)
A great subject makes it easy. :-)
Yikes...Im missing the Duke?....I don't get TCM...it's a premium channel here and I didn't take it...my cable bill is high enough now with broadband....shudder..
ROTFLOL!! I love your answer the most!!!
Only reason Carter has a sub named for him, I think, is because he was in the Navy. But he IS a national embarrassment. As for x42, let's hope the powers that be who make such decisions never reach the bottom of the barrel when it comes to names.
Oh, if only Scott McClellan were free to speak to the media like that. They sure don't deserve the respect accorded them.
Really? It's a basic channel on Direct TV and Dish Network. It's all Duke, all day :) But I'm sure you have 'em all already.
BTW, "Island In The Sky" and "The High And The Mighty" are out on special edition double-disk DVD, both loaded with extras.
Yep, Google turned up a pic of Carter in his Navy whites--don't worry, I won't post it ;)
I hope whoever is in charge of naming ships/boats/dinghies will remember Clinton's "I loathe the military" letter that he wrote in his college days--that alone should disqualify him.
Hmmmm...I'll have to buy them for my collection....I had most of Wayne's films on VHS, Im slowly replacing them on DVD when they are released...
LOL! If x42 ever gets a boat named after him, I hope it's a leaky, rusted old one.
ROFLMAO!!! How about the S.S. Minnow.
They also have TONS of Wayne DVDs for $5.50--his real movies, not those B-movies he made before he became really famous. I want to get "Big Jake" next--it's one of his best movies, IMO, but also one of his most overlooked.
I watched "Island in the Sky" recently. Don't like it much. My favorite Duke movie is "The Quiet Man." His most poignant movie was, of course, his last, "The Shootist." My favorite movie star ever is the great James Stewart, and the Duke is my #2 favorite. The best movie they made together was "Who Shot Liberty Valence."
