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.
President Bush Discusses Advanced Transportation Technology in CaliforniaPresident Congratulates Iraqi Leadership on National Unity Government Agreement
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.
Yes, good job on the diagnosis . . .and you didn't even have to look into her eyes to make it! :-)
ilovew . . . when do exams start for you?
Thanks for the dose, Wolfstar.
I heard on FNC today that a California policeman has collected 20 tons of used equipment and is taking it, along with some other cops, to Iraq to train the Iraqi police how to use the stuff.
Yes, ma'am! :)
Yes, and his is an attitude we all should live by.
Hi Peach. You're welcome. Wow! That is go great of the California cop to do. People can make a difference if they put a little effort into it.
In a while means to us future whilst means past or present - I think I have that right - confusing.
Next week. I have three finals (take home essays) due on Monday. And then I have the test for my online class that has to be taken by Tuesday. And my health exam is on Tuesday. I'm not sure about my other class. Probably also on Tuesday though.
Thanks for the Dose Wolfstar!
Dad has had tons of antibiotics and he has never been told to eat yogurt though he does normally eat quite a bit.
Oh, I do, too. That's why it's co-photo of the day. He looks so kind in that photo.
Try some Tylenol; you can alternate it with Advil and/or Aleve if you want, if the pain is really bad. Rest will help you heal, so do everything you can to make sure you get some. :-)
Are there any Pics of AF-1 at Palm Springs Airport that you saw ???
We used to have a few days off, with no classes, before finals. Of course, I also lived in a dorm with NO air conditioning and no computer hook-ups . . . LOL! Anyway, I hope this is a calm week for you so you can rest and get your work all done.
Thanks, I'm glad it's not just me. I've had antibiotics before and I don't ever remember being told to eat yogurt.
Yes, Mom :) Thanks for the advice.
