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.)
I'm not an outsider
boo hoo hoo...
You remember that episode of The Simpsons--they drove a 100 miles out into the desert to some outlet store and all the appliances were called "Kenless" and "Maybe-tag" :)
Well, I'm headed out of here for the evening.
I hope you all have a wonderful night!
good night....
Oh thanks for 'splainin'!
LMAO!! You know I do! "Zony"
That dance show :)
It's even worse than before. They've "Paula-ized" that Mary Murphy chick--they could be twins.
LOL! I don't think the NO Walmarts have re-stocked their toaster shelves yet :)
They have, but I hear the police force got there and none were left after they left. :( Shocking!
I thought you won a toaster a few weeks ago ...
I did, got a President Bush and Taylor Hicks one. :) However, now that you have so many, I am developing a condition known as "toaster envy." Who could I go to help me with this psychological problem?
Sorry I left there for a while. I am not at my home computer which has dsl connection, but am at one that is powered by the dinosaur method. When I tried to do homework and freep at the same time, he had to freeze up and knock me off-line for a while.!!
(Jonny's a spy, a double agent, so he's limited as to what he can reveal in the open forum. It also explains why he needs his Nyquil so often.)
bye for now.
AWWW. How cute is that little one? She looks stuffed. Is she a rascal?
Oh that's just wrong.
I haven't watched it all season, but I've seen the commerical and it looks like they gave her a better haircut. She doesn't have the Elaine "Wall of Hair" anymore.
I'm quiet in real life. I hardly ever say anything unless I'm with friends.
And "quiet_jonny" just doesn't have the same ring to it as "silent_jonny" :)
"toaster envy." Who could I go to help me with this psychological problem?
Come to me.......I'll help you....
Oh my it is stuffed!!! I can't make out much on this screen. :) LOL
I was hoping the flash would obscure her stuffiness. Alas, y'all have seen through the flash and gotten to the truth.
A friend gave me my new puppy last night. There's a story about it but I won't go into it ... it's too sad (I didn't recently lose a dog, though). But the gift puppy is a happy thing.
Oh I get it now X 2!
Thanks!
& I thought you meant outsider here.
Thanks for letting me in on what you meant!
HUGS...
It makes all kinds of sense now!
No boo hoo hoo's!
:)
I loved that show too. My favorites were the "Eunice" sketches.
"Rabbit killer!!!"
MY explanation http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1658005/posts?page=269#269 was much more exciting than yours.
