Thanks for posting Prime Minister Koizumi's speech. I just got here and worked backwards to the beginning. I've enjoyed reading all of your repartee , but a lot of it is over my head because I haven't kept up with the popular culture. I am either too old or too young or was out of the country at the time to have known Elvis Presley. And there are a lot of celebrity names mentioned on this thread that I have never heard of. But I think it is wonderful that you people have this thread to meet on.
LOL - yes HE was! Elvis ain't baaaad.
Now look what you've done. Be nice to Dubya.
That said, I love the Al Pacino-esque pic.
The left hates George W. Bush while the rest of the world is recognizing his steadfast leadership on the very core of our beliefs... and they are that NO HUMAN BEING should be denied Liberty, and that we are the defenders of the Liberty we prize.
Eastern Europe, East Africa, and some parts of the Middle East are facing some very trying times, but that doesn't mean they should ignore their enemies, I would suggest that is's about time the gloves come off
Besides, I don't think my favorite boss was the butt of the joke...
;-D
U 2 kwack me up!!!!
hehe
I am betting that with the collection of pix we all have of our favorite first family, we could make something super wonderful for him.
I am gonna have to think on it and see what I can do.
He wuvs you back. But no more asking hubby for permission. A gal does have a patriotic duty you know. George W. Bush is a national treasure.
Japan will never forget that it was also the generous support provided by the United States after the war that contributed heavily to Japan's remarkable post-war development.Now, imagine how much more so this is possible with Afghanistan and Iraq, where the history is not quite so filled with animus.During the war, people in Japan were taught to fear and hate the Americans, as if they were monsters. But the Americans were right in front of us -- in fact, came with warm and generous hearts. The Japanese people are still impressed with, they are grateful for the generosity of the United States and the American people. I believe it was this American spirit that lifted the hearts of Japan's people, made Japan's reconstruction possible and built a foundation for the solid friendship between our two nations.
It is such an impressive thing that our two nations, who once fought against each other now share common values and together, as close friends and allies, are tackling of a wide variety of challenges around the world.
The United States is not alone when facing the evils that exist today. The United States is always with its eyes on friends, and Japan stands by the United States of America.
Thanks for the pictures Gretchen.
Can't figure out why some thoughts "went" there either.
I am a Christian; Lady; Republican; consevitive mega pro Bush. I thought all that was clear as tropical water LOL!
My meaning makes sense given those facts.
Who knows how & why the other thought process kicked in.
Oh well, it all worked out in the wash/explanations.
Whew!
:)
Hi Mike .. you're absolutely right: W inspires great alliances and friendships by the sheer depth and breadth of his decency, integrity and 'misunderestimated' savvy. And, some gloves are definitely coming off in the Middle East. God bless Israel, her leaders, military and people. Hamas needs banished from the face of the earth.
"...You have all been great fun tonight."
You to Gretchen!
:)
*See* ya later.
Yes .. we pray.
Gosh, even his handwriting is statemanlike.
Your # 380 is a hoot!
HAhaha!
I have a nice little collection from him, so I keep 'em all together.
