President Bush and Japan's Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi held a press conference (text and video here) at the White House to discuss the war on terror, defending freedom and democracy, promoting regional security and prosperity in Asia (including North Korea), and enhancing closer cooperation on global economic issues (including Japan now agreeing to open its markets to US beef). This is Koizumi's farewell visit, as he steps down from his position as Prime Minister in September.
President and Mrs. Bush will host an official dinner tonight for the Prime Minister.
Secretary of State Rice continues her G8 Foreign Minister Summit visit in Moscow, before a July 15-17 summit of G8 leaders, to be held in St. Petersburg and hosted for the first time by Russian President Putin.
The US Supreme Court issued its ruling on the use of Guantanamo Bay. Bush told reporters Thursday that he would like to work with Congress to determine whether passing legislation setting up military tribunals is a valid option. Bush said, "The American people need to know this ruling, as I understand it, won't cause killers to be put out on the street. I was told this was not going to be the case
one thing I'm not going to do is jeopardize the safety of the American people."
Twins' News WaPo gossip column: Jenna Bush is reportedly going to take a teaching job in Latin America, potentially leaving around the end of summer. (Barbara recently moved to Manhattan, where she has a job in education programming at Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.)

Remember the Enjoli commercial?

That was a very tactful way to explain the other way to read the acronym.

LOL.
It took me a minute to think it through. Kind of like playing charades.

3 slice toaster is when 2 slices isn't enough and 4 is too many.....or you are making club sandwiches.....

Another gorgeous shot of the glamor gown. The whole photo is beautifully composed, especially the way it picks up colors from the portrait.

Yup I remember that one too!
:)
To: silent_jonny
Seriously? Where did you get it? What brand is it? Is it like an "off brand"? Like the name is one letter off from a known brand? Like a Black and Docker or a Toastmonster?
I need to know more about the unholy toaster.

I think this must be the best "Cinderella" photo of Laura Bush yet (humble lady who didn't strive for greatness, but was elevated to the highest place in the land).

Yeah, that's everyone's reaction to that picture. LOL!! Everytime I see it I wonder what that guy was thinking. Didn't he look at himself in the mirror? Didn't he see what everyone else sees!?
Uh-oh ...
