Mine is a grandchild weekend (and week too), as well. I have one of the 2 1/2 yr. olds all day Saturday, the 13 yr. old here overnight that night, a birthday party for the 4 yr. old Sunday. Then we all head to New Hampshire for most of the week. Hubby and me, my twin daughters' families, including 4/5 grandkids.

But no FR! :(

Batchelor back on Lieberman with Chuck Todd -- Todd predicting the likelihood of Lieberman dropping out of the race in a couple of weeks as main Democratic party coalesces behind Lamont. Right now he is running on anger, will find that funding and support is not going to be as much as hoped for in a month.

(Off topic -- here in SE NM and have been hearing AF jets overhead all evening [since before dark] and yesterday too. Don't know what's going on, never have heard this level before. Training for desert operations, maybe.)

Whew! Glad to hear they will be home with you soon. This may be the safest time to fly anywhere right now but will breathe easier right along with you when they are back in the nest. When is sofalad coming?

That is interesting..

I betcha those phone lines between the Pentagon and Crawford have been going crazy.

Boy, when Tony Snow took that job, I bet he had no clue what "excitement" he would be in for.

Did you read the post ealier re Olmert?
With his background he makes John Kerry look like a conservative.

Oh you did, did you? I better go back and check...I caught some of his show here in the car on 1 hour delay on WBAP.

Just got the FReepmail, thank you. Olmert should be run out of town on a rail.

I have one question for PM Olmert...."What exactly have all the Israeli civilians and soldiers died for?"

The man is a disgrace...

Yeah but supposedly it is frogs going in to disarm the hezzies. Talk about quagmire if they mean it, and if not... well they have retreat down and the IDF has free reign.

I have read Olmert quoted to the effect "good we did this now, instead of two or three years later." Now I feel compelled to dig it up and make sure.

I'm in northeastern upstate NY. One daughter who lives 40 minutes north of me has been reporting a lot of aircraft activity over her for the past week.

I saw that...I feel so sorry for the Israeli people..but, they voted for him.

I have a feeling the Kadima party will NOT be the favorite anymore.

Some, more level-headed posters have cautioned that we don't know what is happening behind the scenes..and Olmert may have reasons for what he is doing/not doing...but as frustrated as we are...

imagine if you lived there...especially in the north..and one minute they are gonna fight to keep you safe...and the next, they are gonna sign an unenforceable resolution..sheesh
