PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President and Mrs. Bush spent the weekend at the White House where they hosted GWB's parents. The family attended St. John's Episcopal Church this morning before the President went for a mountain bike ride.
Throughout his term, President Bush has sought to break down barriers that have prevented religion-based charities from using government funds. His $15 billion effort to fight AIDS has handed out nearly one-quarter of its grants to religious groups, and officials are aggressively pursuing new church partners that often emphasize disease prevention through abstinence and fidelity over condom use.
Award recipients include a Christian relief organization famous for its televised appeals to feed hungry children, a well-known Catholic charity and a group run by the son of evangelist Billy Graham, according to the State Department.
Secular organizations in Africa are raising concerns that new money to groups without AIDS experience may dilute the impact of Bush's historic three-year-old program.
"We clearly recognize that it is very important to work with faith-based organizations," said Dan Mullins, deputy regional director for southern and western Africa for CARE, one of the best-known humanitarian organizations.

"Beeber" is a made-up word. So is "stuned." Yep :) It's one of those inside jokes floating around FR. Somebody misspelled a word and that word took on a life of its own, like "series" means "seriously", "this is hugh!" means "this is huge!" (I think) and "all your base are belong to us!" means ... uh ... I'm not really sure :)
I saw the "beeber" thread once--I tried to find it just now, but no luck. But, trust me, it was HUGH and SERIES :)

Not 100% sure, but beeber=beeper and stuned=stunned (or tuned).

What is that ^ ? A dustmop?Some idiot sound man couldn't settle for the common mic covers. He had to get one that looks like a duster.
This, on the other hand, is a dustmop. This dustmop would gleefully attack the sound man's hair mic cover.
