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.)

DIY is a helpful acronym. I wonder it never caught on over here (at least not in my area). Maybe other places in the US use it.

"Pledge of Allegiance" was the only thing I could think of. Now you gals have me really interested. What did you think it meant?

I'm glad for your sake that it doesn't mean you're deaf mute! LOL, nope. But I've been accused of being both :)
I talk only when necessary, and hear only what I want to hear.
(how's that for mysterious, Gretchen? ;)

I think one must be born with the ability NOT to talk.
I often think it must be a nice thing to have.

I'm going to detach myself from this computer chair for a while. If any more photos of the dinner come up, maybe they can be picked up later tonight or on Friday's dose.
You have all been great fun tonight.

Where did you get it? For some reason I am dying to know. You have a hankerin' for three pieces of toast? :)
You'll have to ask Snugs where the toasters come from. (I'm curious too, but I'm afraid to ask :o)

You can't help me, you have hordes of toasters! You are who I envy. I've never gotten a toaster. Does that help, or does misery just love company?

Back in my day, we didn't have none o' your fancy 'lectric toasters. Our toasters were giant coal-burning beasts, like this one--carved from pure American steel!
When it toasted a slice of bread, by gar, it stayed toasted!

I got the e-mail, but no pix. YOu will probably just have to save the pix to your desktop and then send an e-mail with them attached.

I must admit the toaster we have is the first one we ever had.
Before that we used to use the grill on the cooker (broiler) another different name between Britain and the US - :0).
If you want to do toasted cheese you cannot use a toaster !!
