Today the President attended an Armed Forces farewell tribute in honor of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Richard B. Myers and Armed Forces Hail in honor of Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Peter Pace at Fort Myer in Va. General Richard B. Myers retired today after 40 years of service to our Nation. After the ceremony the President and First Lady headed for Camp David for the weekend. The President is expected to announce his choice to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on Monday or Tuesday
You will love General Pace, too. I remember when he was named Vice-Chair of the Joint Chiefs. He gave a very moving and grateful speech. I have seen him appear with Rumsfeld and he was just as good as Myers...perhaps a little edgier because he is from New Jersey.
Well, yeah, you're right. 'The witch IS gone' isn't she?....
Thank you so much for linking that article by Larry Kudlow! I would like to nail it to the forehead of every griping pundit and Freeper that I have been reading for the last two weeks!
Keep your shoulder in motion.
People, especially older people, who stop moving their shoulder because it hurts often end up with adhesions (frozen shoulder) and greatly reduced range of motion requiring tedious rehabilitation.
Sanity Island may be my only destination today.
Sick of the Bush abuse everywhere.
But, that doesn't mean there's not anything else that can be done.
If the problem is a significant one that impacts significantly on a person's life, they should see a specialist or search the net for more information.
Constantly amazes me, MamaB. A poster on another thread...I think about the Tom Delay thing...said, I'm gonna wait and see what they say on NPR before I make up my mind.
I was stunned. I looked and saw he'd been a member since 2000.
I told him, don't wait. I can tell you that NPR will have Tom tarred and feathered, drawn and quartered, burned at the stake and then shot.
Sheesh!
It's usually my only destination unless I'm feeling up to harassing the third party types, which isn't very often.
I think the General might have room for ONE MORE medal!
Hope the next guy is as good.
Or half as good.
That was the orthopedist that told me that, after I had tried Cortisone injections and physical therapy. And after he did a CAT scan and couldn't find anything wrong. The only thing I can think of is if I go to another orthopedist but I doubt he'll tell me anything differently. Though I imagine he'd probably be a bit concerned if I told him how much I've been using Aleve.
Mike, I finally got high speed internet! I enjoy it most on the dose. The beautiful pictures pop right up.
(but I miss playing the games I used to play while I waited for them to load)
You should say it out loud. I think they're all adorable :)
CAT scan?
MRI would have been more useful probably.
If your orthopedist isn't helping, then ask around for opinions who is the most knowlegable one in your region.
Do you drink milk?
My dear, when it rains, it pours.
Hang in there. My husband has lupus and whenever a doctor prescribes something and describes the side effects of the drug...they always say "but don't worry about it, we've got drugs for that."
So, I'll just use my standard line..."they've got drugs for that."
Which reminds me, I need to go buy some pharmaceutical stock. ; )
Hang in there.
I refuse to wait. I'm giving him credit right now.
President Bush inherited a country that was (in spite of the Reagan years) firmly entrenched in the Great Society mentality of Lyndon Johnson.
The welfare state had reigned so supreme that, whatever the third rail means -- I never knew -- it was the fourth or fifth rail. It's children were single moms, poverty pimps and increasing racial divide.
Other children were political correctness, feminism, environmental wacko-ism. These children gave us refusals to drill for oil, myriad standards for gasoline, making it fiscally unprofitable to build refineries, abortions by the millions, including partial birth.
This is the society he inherited. You can't change an ingrained mindset like this over night. If you try, you will just lose, as Hillary found out when she tried to force a health care agenda all at once. She could probably have done it incrementally.
Bush has done SO much. He opened up the Social Security discussion that no one before him had dared to touch. He may not get it done, but at least people are thinking about it. This is important--because, left untouched, the social security system would have inevitably led to socialism.
He got tax cuts which the demos fought tooth and nail. He has dealt with a horrible attack on the country and led a war that we won so easily, everyone has decided it wasn't necessary. Under his leadership, we will, with God’s help, turn around a liberal activist court.
He has remained courteous and affable in the face of the most unfair and lying attacks.
And NOW he has to hear this kind of crap from his own people.
Oops, yeah that's what I meant. I've been kinda spacey today. Yep, I drink milk all the time.
Good evening
