PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President and Mrs. Bush and their long-time friends, former Commerce Secretary Don Evans and his wife, are spending Memorial Day weekend together at Camp David. There is speculation in the media that the President may ask Mr. Evans to become the next Treasury Secretary.
Today, the President traveled to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, to give the commencement address to the Corps of Cadets.
SCHEDULE UPDATE: NOTE -- so far, new Press Secretary Tony Snow has not been annoucing the Week Ahead in his press briefings. Scott McClellan has stopped doing it regularly some time ago, and I can't help but wonder if it isn't due to security concerns.

Now, you know men need someone to keep them up to snuff!
Would never hate you, snugs. :) Let's face it, that's a funny/sad photo. The next one in that series is very nice, too. GWB scooped Barney up and kissed him.
G'evening. Thanks for the link. cBS gives me heartburn.
All the little girls in the 'Barney Drop' picture look so stricken.
:)
Its funny because we know Barney is OK but those children were horrified at the time :0)
LOL and Barney could accomadate that wish! Years ago, when macrame was the hot thing, we used to make Scotty dogs. Wish I would have kept a couple - they looked just like Barney.
Me too. Plus, depending on its size, I'd either have it made into a pendant or mounted in a lucite paperweight to carry with me everywhere. I'd be proud of it.
*sniff*
I love that photo.
I know. I cringe every time I see it. :)
For me, it'd be at the TOP (alone too) of my coin display case. And then I'd make a rule of "no touching!" hehehe
For some strange reason, they don't like military graduates to be classified as "cute". haha.
It must be an ego thing. Then again, how many people normally refer to the commander-in-chief as "cute?" (I have a feeling President Bush is an exception.)
I'd say almost every graduating class, be it high school or college does the same thing. It's the end, hard work over and it's a tradition. I have no idea where it started or why, but a graduation ceremony isn't done until the caps fly.
Wow, last year was my first year on my job. I got NO holidays off had to work every one, except Christmas, the mall was closed and Thanksgiving, same reason..or vacation time, or sick time. This year I get the holidays and one week vacation and 3 sick days...no insurance, and I'm manager of a clothing store, the company has 25 stores...thank goodness my husband has health insurance with his work.
