PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: The President and First Lady, accompanied by the Secretary of State, returned from Camp David earlier today. It will be a momentous week in Washington as the Supreme Court hears oral arguments on a military commissions case, and the Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on Sen. Russ Feingold's call to censure the President over the wiretap controversy. In this mix of venality and stupidity, there is some happier news:

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Reds announced Friday that President George W. Bush will throw out the first pitch prior to the Reds' opening game against the Chicago Cubs on Monday April 3, at 2:10 p.m. (et) at Great American Ball Park.

President Bush's father, George Herbert Walker Bush, threw out the first pitch at the inaugural regular-season game at Great American Ball Park in 2003.

George W. Bush will be the first sitting president ever to throw out an opening day first pitch in the city of Cincinnati and just the second sitting president to attend a baseball game in the Queen City, William Howard Taft being the other in 1912.

Seized by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Osama bin Laden's former chauffeur is now seeking victory over President Bush in a new arena: the Supreme Court.

In oral arguments Tuesday, an attorney for Salim Ahmed Hamdan will ask the justices to declare unconstitutional the U.S. military commission that plans to try him for conspiring with his former boss to carry out terrorist attacks.

This story is great! Vice President Cheney took on the Democrats for their attacks on the President over the wiretap matter.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney blasted Democrats for opposing provisions of the Patriot Act and criticizing President Bush's approval of secret wiretaps for domestic surveillance at a fundraising lunch Friday.

Two days after Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid called Bush “dangerously incompetent,” Cheney said if Democrats were capable of handling the war on terror, “Then I ought to be singing on American Idol.”

“The president and I welcome the debate, because every voter in America needs to know how the leaders of the Democratic party view the war on terror,” he said at the event for U.S. Rep. Ric Keller, R-Orlando.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Not much news available today about next week's presidential schedule. I was only able to find this: President Bush will welcome President Olusegun Obasanjo of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the White House March 29.

Feingold knows full well, IMO. He just refuses to model that behavior.

Another thing I have noticed that a lot of Americans tend to call small dogs puppies even when full grown.

I just love these cultural differences it is what makes our world rich and interesting.

"The light pink looks fantastic on the first lady. Very feminine, very spring-time. Lovely."

Did you see her on Larry King? She walked all over him - with grace and a light step, but all over him just the same. My favorite was when he asked if she would want her one of her daughters to marry a politician and she said "why didn't you ask if one wanted to BE a politician?". She was perfect, as always!

"Imagine what the dems will be brazen enough to do if they ever regain congressional power. It's scary."
