The president outlined his strategy for victory in Iraq at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. He met with VFW Commander-in-Chief Jim Mueller and Secretary of Vetrens Affairs Jim Nicholson in the Oval.

Laura Bush gave the media a tour of the holiday decor at the White House.

Welcome to Sanity Island!

Thanks, Gretchen! That was an excellent speech today, and I am sure glad I got to hear it!

Hi GM .. and thanks for the pics from such a great day. I SO wish I could've seen this live .. cubicle bound. Do you know if it will be replayed in its entirety?

Cheneys in the news

They Cheneys arrive for a performance after a dinner to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, in the East Room November 10, 2005. The NEA and NEH support research, education and public programs for the arts and humanities. (I love Lynne's outfit.)

[GretchenM]

All clear.

Feel free to post others you may find.

Thank you so much for the Dose tonight Gretchen! I am sooo ready for Sanity Island.

What wonderful photos you have to work with tonight. I am anxiously awaiting 8:00 to watch our awesome President, the Commander in Chief, address his troops, again!

What terrific job he did today, and does everyday!! God Bless him.

Hi bnelson44, just wanted to draw your attention to the note at post #2. It gets confusing to the person who puts up the thread, otherwise.

Lynn Cheney is on Cspan-2 now at the National Archives, talking about her book, "A Time For Freedom."

[GretchenM]

I am thriving in my new city and home. I've never known such contentment. I do have another sinus infection, however, and will see the doctor tomorrow. Thanks for asking. =)

Hello, Dolly. How is your elbow? My knee seemsto be completely healed and I am riding my bicycle as much as I want to.

I think Condi has a way of emotionally & socially disarming the men/women she meets with. I keep hearing she wants to return to Academia.. after what she has experienced, she will be unfilled & frustrated there. (IMHO)

[DollyCali]

Well, I have a sprained groin.. into 6th week.. It is better but still painful.. At my age there are so many aches & pains. I just pump in the excedrin often during day & plug along! I do have to do mega walks w/dogs daily & have gotten in a few rides wtih them.. Biking doesn't hurt.. walking /standing does.

Glad you are healed already! impressive!

Thank you, Gretchen. These pictures of our President give me goosebumps.

[GretchenM]

I didn't see a link at the WH web site although one may appear later - maybe check C-SPAN online?

[GretchenM]

Justa, what station will replay W's speech at 8 PM (is that Eastern time?)

[DollyCali]

Thread on Gretchen's move... her story is about half way down

I agree 100 percent, and "disarming" is absolutely the right word.

[DollyCali]

is that what you call it?
