I am going to be at the White House Correspondents dinner this Saturday. If I can catch up with Tony, I'll offer my personal congratulations from all of us at that time.
Assuming, of course, that the CNN reports are accurate.
If you want on, or off, the Tony Snow ping list, please FReepMail dinasour.
Golly, are you a big shot too? I had no idea..Is the dinner going to be on C-Spin?
Good morning, Snowflakes!

Life Is Real

In the comic strip Peanuts, Lucy had just broken the news to Linus that children cannot live at home forever. Eventually they grow up and move away. Then she said that when he left she would get his room. But Linus quickly reminded her that at some time she too would have to leave home. When this realization hit Lucy, she was shocked, but she quickly came up with a solution. She turned the TV up loud, crawled into her beanbag chair with a bowl of ice cream, and refused to think about it.
Avoiding unpleasant circumstances is not as easy as Lucy thinks. Life's realities cannot be avoided. We may try to run and hide, but struggles and trials have a way of dogging our footsteps and eventually catching up with us.
Instead, we should face up to our problems. The psalmist David did this when beset by persistent foes and false friends. He didn't try to minimize his danger; he acknowledged the storm that was raging around him and looked to the Lord. He wrote, "In God I have put my trust" (Psalm 56:4).
Let's follow David's example—not Lucy's. Facing up to life's difficulties may be a frightening experience. But when we trust God and draw close to Him, we'll experience real deliverance. —Paul Van Gorder
When troubles call on you, call on God.
Good morning :) This is wonderful/awful!
I'm thrilled for you Tony- you will be superb. Thank you for your service.
Good morning all and thanks for the thread dinosaur.
My computer was being worked on last night when the thread came up about Tony's acceptance of the WH position. I won't take the time to read the 800+ post but came here instead to offer my support and congrats to Tony.
Tony, don't forget your snowflake-freeper friends. We are at your disposal for research, feedback or encouragement. Frankly I put FReeper research up as some of the best on the internet.
We'll miss you here Tony. **sniff!**
Now, give 'em hell! :^P
I hear there are going to be lots of Boris and Natacha disguises amongst the FReepers.
I'm not really in the mood for Trent today
No Tony today. I think that about gives us our answer.
Thanks, for the ping, dinasour.
Tony, don't let the flakes melt...stay in touch. Hope you'll still have time to talk college basketball next season.
FNC just said the President will speak in about 20 minutes regarding gas prices.
I hope there's an announcement about Tony this morning.
