Today President Bush met with Tom Bock, the national commander of the American Legion in the Oval Office, as well as John Sommer, executive director of the American Legion's Washington office and Jim Nicholson, Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

He also met in the Oval Office with Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt to discuss key elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

First Lady, Laura and daughter Barbara were in Ghana today, where Mrs. Bush addressed an audience at the Accra Teacher Training College in Accra, Ghana, to launch the African Education Initiative Textbooks Program. They also visited with patients at the Korle-Bu Treatment Center, and with Peace Corps volunteers, marking its 45th anniversary this year.

Former President George H.W. Bush was in Pakistan today visiting survivors of the 2005 earthquake.

Enjoy your trip to Sanity Island and the Daily Dose!

They're public in that they don't require tuition, and I guess you would say 'private' because they're not the regular large public schools.

I think the key difference is that the teachers want results. There aren't a whole lot of public schools where that's true.

Fortunately, there are SOME...........and my kids went to one of them.

Good articles! I strongly recommend the one by Dennis Prager. He really spells out what the Left stand for in terms that we can use when talking to folks who are newly interested in politics.

Of course, since equality in everything is impossible, Dems are forever excusing poor outcomes of their policies and initiatives by saying that their motives and vision were 'good.'

Oh WOW! That's FANTASTIC!!

Can I come and visit some time?? :)

Would you say then similar to our grammar or technical schools which you have to pass an entrance exam for and really are based at the top 5 - 10% academically then?

There's a possibility in the future that elder son and wife will move to DC.

I'll be coming to visit as often as I can, so maybe we can arrange a visit with you!

I don't think there are supposed to be academic requirements to get into a charter school.........so in that regard, they would be different.

They are quite new, and hard to pin down with a definition.......at least for me.

I have taught in private schools and public schools, as well as at the University level, but never in a charter school.

We should ask Jenna. :)

Hi OWF, thanks for the Dose tonight. Barbara sure looks cute in several of the photos.

That Guy is weird looking...looks like the class nerd.

Guess you've never spent time overseas in a business climate. What do you expect? Some fat, unwashed, tattooed, pierced, dope smoking unshaven biker from LA?

Maybe you'd be happier if he weighed 300 pounds, had a McDonald's Big Mac box full of the creme sauce dripping his pant leg.

I've worked with dozens of European Managing Directors for Texaco, Seagrams, Wyeth-Ayerst, Glaxo Smith-Kline Beecham. They were all gracious and NOT FAT.

Further, most spoke more than four languages, including English.

Every worked in Lucerne Switzerland?

American people who have never traveled have no clue as to how we look like myopic, moronic idiots.

Great group of photos tonight. Thanks again. I enjoyed seeing the old man in Pakistan. He's remarkable.

Last pic, notice the three pics I just posted on my Monitor :-)

[ohioWfan]

I think some of these are the nicest pictures I've seen of Barbara.

She looks lovely!

Notice the Coins on the monitor on the left in post #138? Those are the ones your Hubby gave me :-)
