The President spent part of the weekend at his ranch in Crawford returning to Washingotn on Sunday to met with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal prior to Secretary Rice visit to the middle east.
Today the President attended a naturalization ceremony at Walter Reed Medical Center.
He also signed H.R. 42, Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005.
Vice President Dick Cheney attended a fundraising luncheon for Arkansas Republican gubernatorial candidate Asa Hutchinson in Springdale, Ark
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visted Lebanon and Israel today.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
I'm so mad, I want that picture too. Darn it! Oh well, I keep staring at it. lol They're so cute!
I think if we had any doubts that Condi's visit is based on neutrality, her grey suits reminds us.
Freep mail to you
33,000 non-citizen troups in the military! That is an astounding # ... and what a brave and honorable way to become a US citizen.
Freepmail to you shortly.
alrighty - i'll be checking
Thank you dear snugs for a delightful array of pix of our govt leaders! Love the toaster. same color as drapes (almost) in the oval office.. & that gown of Luara's.. wow, looks great on her!
I know Private First Class, Eduardo Leal-Cardenas. He was excited at the opportunity to become a US citizen.
Thanks for the Dose, Snugs. I was looking forward to these pictures from Walter Reed as I had heard about the ceremony today. Am off to look at the rest of the photos.
How are you?

thank you all outstanding photographs.
Hi snugs, thanks for this Dose.
I was curious what HR 42 said, and found this on the web.
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h109-42
109th U.S. Congress (2005-2006)
H.R. 42: Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005
Overview
Official Title: To ensure that the right of an individual to display the flag of the United States on residential property not be abridged.
Status: Enacted
This bill has become law.
Introduced: Jan 4, 2005
Last Action: Jul 24, 2006: Became Public Law No: 109-243.
Sponsor: Rep. Roscoe Bartlett [R-MD]
I am VERY happy to see this because of all the nonsense about people facing legal penalties, being told they have to move from certain areas, etc., if they fly the flag outside their homes.
"Pfc. Eduardo Leal-Cardenas, 21, from Los Angeles, uses President Bush's podium to sign his name on his naturalization document to legally become a U.S. citizen following ceremonies at Walter Reed Army Medical Center."
God bless ALL of our military and their families.
They have all the seasoned travelers's tricks down pat, such as what to eat before traveling, what to eat while traveling, how to adjust their sleep schedules, plus folks such as W, Laura, and Condi exercise regularly.
I did some research (not memorized) on the types of food (to eat and to avoid) and times of day to eat before overseas flights and have talked with seasoned travelers. Eating the right food and knowing when to eat it, plus staying up (forcing yourself to stay up) when flying east, really do make a big difference.
Nevertheless, I have to say, they are AMAZING in their stamina.
Thank Cong. Bartlett for me if you have the opportunity. This legislation was very badly needed.
The sad and stupid part is that we even had to make it legal to fly the flag at home.
That is one SNAZZY toaster, snugs!
DrDeb! Thank you for the photo links to the Newsweek site. WOWowowowow.
