Bush pays brief call on Colombia
Updated 41 mins. agoBOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — President Bush renewed U.S. support to Colombia, a strong but drug and violence-plagued U.S. ally which receives more U.S. aid than any country outside the Middle East and Afghanistan. Bush arrived in the nation's capital on Sunday to meet with President Alvaro Uribe in a show of confidence for Uribe and Colombia's battle against narcoterrorists. But the stop was clouded by a political scandal involving Uribe, and security jitters had Bush staying only about six hours.
Colombia was the third country on the president's five-nation tour of Latin America. He began his journey in Brazil, flew here from Uruguay and was headed later Sunday to Guatemala. Bush last stops in Mexico before returning to Washington Wednesday.
It was Bogota's first visit from a sitting president since Ronald Reagan in 1982. Some 20,000 police and heavily armed troops will virtually shut off downtown Bogota to guard against a possible rebel attack.
PRESIDENTIAL SCHEDULE:
— Mar. 14, President and Mrs. Bush arrive back in Washington from their trip to South America and Mexico.— Mar. 15, House GOP Leader John Boehner (R-OH) chairs the NRCC March Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel, headlined by President Bush.

Slow here too.
I have ordered a white cake with cream cheese frosting for tomorrow which I intend to eat with lime sherbet. :0)
I loved the longer day today --- still have the doors open --- wonderful weather!

I have a Marie Callender peach pie in the freezer, I'm gonna bake that in the late afternoon and have that for dessert tomorrow during dinner. I've already had the cherry pie, which was really, really delicious. :)

Loved it too! Did a few loads of laundry today. It was in the mid 50's today. Sun went down just a little bit ago, so it's still 53 degrees.
I was going to reboot --- now I won't bother...lol.
DrO likes pies --- I love cake and lime sherbet.
Love my pie warmed in the microwave, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
You're fortunate to have good metabolism --- given that you pig out daily! LOL
Hog farmer --- you pig out! LOL-LOL-LOL
Good...hopefully, there will be some good pictures of him on good ole USA soil.
I am sorry about your tummy, again.
Did you go on your shopping spree?
*oink-oink*
I did! I lasted one store but exited with an arm load of purchases. I think I might go shopping again on Tuesday. :0)
Anything worth watching on TV later? I'm not quite ready to play poker at full tilt yet.
I haven't had a chance to check the onscreen guide. I clicked passed Whorealdo earlier, and watched Fr. Corapi while I was having dinner, and I've been on here ever since.
I am glad you got out and at least went to one store.
It is raining here and I just saw on our weather forecast that it is supposed to rain for 3 days.
We NEED the rain ....but, this is spring break week..and I know kaybugs is not going to be happy tomorrow when she comes over and is stuck in the house...sigh
Ugh --- I hope your rain does not come here --- I have been so happy with our weather -- sunny and warm --- almost 80 degrees! Poor little Kaybugs --- but maybe you can fingerpaint with her --- nice and messy. :0)
