A day in the life of President Bush (4/23/06): photos/news; Marines/sailors
WhiteHouse.gov & Yahoo News Photos ^ | 4/23/06

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 California

President 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.

Thanks, that's really the issue....that and "Anchor Babies." Then, if the jobs dry up, the issue will heal itself pretty quickly.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm pleased to announce the death of the tie for formal and informal fashion. Let's be honest here, folks. What purpose does the tie serve? To warm your blouse buttons? The way I see, it's a potential choke hazard and must be removed from our daily workplace and any formal festivities.

Not all may understand the annoyances of having a tie choking your neck. Ladies, just think of it as being as useless as a belly button ring or lower back tattoo. You just don't put a bumper sticker on a Rolls Royce, so why does you buttocks need a permanent ink stain? I'm sure all the real men would agree that the back end of your caboose is perfect the way God made it. And why anyone want to pierce their navel is beyond me.

Standing here as your President, I lead the way to undo one of our greatest fashion faux pas. I invite you to follow me. Take off your ties, and meet me outside to burn them all (unless they're an anniversary gift or have other such sentimental value)."

NOTE: I made this up. The President did NOT say the above words...but you could probably image it.

The second of these pictures is taken from our website www.homeofourfathers.org/lisbeth/index.html. While you are VERY welcome to use the picture, as long as you credit us and upload it to your own server, we do not appreciate you hotlinking to it, and stealing our bandwith... If you don't have your own server there are several sites out there offering free image hosting (try imageshack.us or photobucket.com.)

Property rights and all that stuff... you know.

Sincerely,

Lisbeth
