Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our

Military, our Allies and their families.

Thank you, Ms. Feather, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities.

I'm sorry I'm late (again), but when I got to work this morning our network was down. Couldn't do much besides drink coffee until it came back up. And, of course, now it's acting temperamental and so if I seem to disappear you'll know that my computer and I are having a "moment."

Now a word to our military personnel

I think you military people are doing a fantastic job. I know you can't see me in the crowd, but I'm giving you a standing ovation.

Now, if you all will excuse me while I step out of my normally composed self, I need to send a message to Nancy Pelosi....so Nancy if you are snooping lurking, this is for you

Yeah, I know it's not lady-like, but, hey, I never claimed to be a lady.

Now, that I feel better, I need to move along through the Canteen.....before it acts silly again. I have to work quick in the Canteen today.

Now, for all you newbies and lurkers

(p.s. hey, tomkow, lookie at this sparkly thing)

But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while. There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

Good morning canteeners cubies newbies & troops! Another lovely day in the DC area; unfortunately for liberals, they see only global warming and devastation! Enjoy the day and please remember our troops and Katrina's victims in your prayers. You might also do a victory dance over Jihad Jane's decision to cancel her Vegetable Oil Tour!
