The president met with the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, in the Oval Office.
He gave a speech in Washington, DC, on his national strategy to combat terrorism.
Bush nominated Mary Peters, a former Federal Highway administrator, to replace Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta.
Our intrepid Secretary of Defense faced the surgeon's knife today, having successful arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff (left shoulder). Eric Ruff, the Pentagon press secretary, said Rumsfeld's cuff tear was caused by "an old athletic injury." Rumsfeld wrestled in college and is an avid squash player.
ohioWfan and I exchanged days to post the Dose.
OMG...I love Bisquick dumplings...especially with chicken....yummy!

You beat me to it by seconds LOL - that is cool we are watching the same TV program yet 1000s of miles apart :0)
Oh, ohio...I am just sick...I don't know if I can make it this time....
And I'm thinking that Rummy could beat the pants off of flabby Bob, even the day after surgery.
I can't stand RATS!!

You know something? I'm absolutely astonished that I've been listening to news reports off and on all day and only because of your post, I've just found out that Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah visited our President in the White House! Unfrigginbelievable!
Thank you...you don't know how much I appreciate the prayers.

MUST READS . . .
I'm soooooooooooooooooooo sick of hearing pundits and politicians alike declare that Republican candidates should distance themselves from President Bush in order to win in November . . . Idiots! . . . Perhaps they should take a closer look at the polls they all live and die by:
CNN POLL
8/30/06-9/2/06
Other than the AP, Pew and Newsweek polls, you can't get more Democrat-leaning than a CNN poll, yet CNN still reported the following:
Job Approval Ratings:
41%/55 (-14) President Bush
35%/57 (-22) Democrats in Congress
31%/64 (-33) Republicans in Congress

Methinks the President should be avoiding the Congressmen/women not the other way around!!
ANOTHER TERM FOR BUSH
Not too long ago I stepped out to lunch and happened to see a car with a bumper sticker that said in big letter 1.20.09. Not sure what that meant, I got closer to it and saw the smaller text beneath it, which said "Bush's Last Day." Quite pathetic if you ask me, but it got me thinking.
Towards the end of Bill Clinton's presidency, and on occasion after Bush took office, the occasional discussion over the two-term limit was discussed by a number of people. Liberals salivated at the idea of President Clinton doing nothing about terrorism, ruining our military, and for another four years. I can only have nightmares about what would have happened to our economy if Clinton presided over the recession that he caused.
President Bush, on the other hand, is fighting terrorism... he cares about the military... he fixed the economy. Another term for Bush would be a lot better than another term for Clinton.
No, I'm not advocating a change in the two-term limit. I think term limits are important, and two terms has been the tradition and the law and it ought to stay that way. Still, if there's any president who deserves a third term, it is President George W. Bush.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ON 9/11/06?
The Anchoress:
"I’m going to pray all the hours of the Divine Office, including the Office for the Dead, and I’m going to go to mass and pray for the living, particularly for the leadership of this country and our allies. I am going to watch a videotape of President Bush’s remarkable speech to the joint sessions of congress - a speech I have no doubt CSpan and CNN will not be replaying, but which more and more I am convinced we all need to see again - and I’m going to pray for our enemies…both foreign and domestic.
I don’t especially need to “remember” 9/11. I remember it, exceedingly well, indeed and in much detail. But I’m going to remember the days and weeks after 9/11 and wonder exactly how it is that some people can willfully forget or misunderstand so much. More on that insanity here.

I too plan to watch the President's brilliant 9/21/01 speech . . . I also plan to watch my video of the first anniversary of 9/11! . . . AND I plan to watch the President visit all three sites in real time -- I hope it inspires more Americans to REMEMBER the harm done to us and RECONNECT with our War on Terror (including the battle in Iraq)!!!
Oh yea, THE PRESIDENT WAS AWESOME TODAY!!
Thank you for this day's Dose!
