PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President Bush will spend much of his day with Marines and sailors, attending church and joining them for lunch at the base in Twentynine Palms, CA.
Last night in Indian Wells, near Palm Springs, GWB helped pull in nearly $2 million for the RNC at the Toscana Country Club. Tomorrow, after a speech on immigration in Orange County, the President heads for Las Vegas and a fundraiser for Nevada Congressman Jon Porter. From the podium, the President mentioned dignitaries in attendance such as Dug Sundheim, California Republican Party chairman; Bruce McPherson, Secretary of State; Sen. Chuck Poochigan, R-Fresno, a candidate running unopposed in the June Republican Primary for Attorney General; Steve Poizner, running unopposed for the Republican nomination for Insurance Commissioner and U.S. Reps. Connie Mack, R-FL, and Mary Bono, R-Palm Springs, who happen to be dating but were seated at different tables. In his remarks, the President highlighted the War on Terror and how students need to be prepared for the future.
After his lunch and visit with the Twentynine Palms base Marines and sailors, GWB is expected to spend the rest of the weekend at an undisclosed location in Rancho Mirage.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: Over the past couple of days, the President spoke publicly on a number of issues -- too many to single out one quote. So I've linked to three important transcripts on the White House website. With these links at your disposal, you can read the transcripts at your convenience.

Folks who have been following this presidency closely from the beginning know that President Bush has been trying to get Congress to pass a comprehensive energy bill ever since 2001. Here is a link to the President's Letter to the American People about his Advanced Energy Initiative, and a summary of the initiative. For those interested, the linked WhiteHouse.gov page also contains a link to download a .PDF copy of the complete Advanced Energy Initiative document. Other than cutting back on our driving and other uses of gasoline, we can't do much about the soaring costs of fuel in the short term. However, we can help the President ensure a more energy-secure future for us and our children and grandchildren. I urge all Dosers (active and lurking) to familarize themselves with the President's proposals, and to pressure your congressional representatives and senators to pass either the entire initiative or those portions of the proposals with which you agree.
I'm back...and I only like Dark chocolate....that looks pretty milk to me. ha ha ha
I'll try that. Thanks :)
Is whilst not often used in the States then.
Mmmm hmmmmmm!
I can see that Third Order has great taste in colors...or is that snugs providing nothing but the BEST of everything to everyone, again???
Really weak salt water...or it'll dry it out. (via that Sunday Dr. on FOX)
Dick and Lynne Cheney celebrate 42 years this August.
Oh, thanks for telling me that. I woulda just dumped salt in the water.
It has to be pretty weak salt water or it would make you gag and that doesn't help! But I have found that a little salty water helps me when I have a sore throat.
There are also some pretty good throat sprays out there (Cloraseptic, Cepastat). They should numb the pain enough for you to get to sleep.
We just say "while."
Do you still have to eat yogurt when you take penicillin?
Oh yes. I agree. That doctor they have on Sundays on FOX was telling people that, and I never knew it should be really weak...I always thought it should be like a teaspoon in a glass of water....it should be about a tenth of that according to him. I was surprized.
I hope so. I've had trouble sleeping the last few nights.
That's what I've always heard about antibiotics, because they kill the good with the bad germs, and the live lactobacillius acidophilus (sp?) that most yogurt has in it, is good LIVE bacteria that helps the "flora" (general chemistry) in your stomach, and it helps out with the loss.
I wasn't told to eat anything with it. Just to take it three times a day.
If you can't stand the taste of Cloraseptic....which is VILE tasting to me (like liquid ether), then you could do what I do...get the Cherry flavored, and drab a Q-tip into the Cloraseptic and paint the back of your throat with it.
Years ago I took some type of antibiotic and developed a yeast infection. I was told that I should eat yogurt with the live bacteria in it when I was on antibiotics so I still do. But I love yogurt anyway and eat it all the time whether I'm on meds or not.That is when I started eating it regularly.
