President & Mrs. Bush arrived at their home in Crawford, Texas today after spending Christmas at Camp David. Traveling with the First Couple were daughters Jenna and Barbara, and Laura Bush’s mother Jenna Welch.

During the flight to Texas, President Bush signed the budget bill that will fund our troops serving in Iraq.

This law provides a down payment for the resources our troops need, without arbitrary timelines for withdrawal. The Congress should quickly take action next year to provide the remainder of the funding needed by our troops. (Transcript)

And in a new Gallup Poll, President Bush was named The Most Admired Man of 2007.

According to the chart below, the president received a far higher percentage of votes than any other man this year.

John Gibson, FOX News: President Bush is the most admired man of 2007. Gallup must not do any polling in homes that watch NBC. Everybody on the left knows that George Bush is the devil. —Hugo Chavez said so. So how did this happen? Oops! Maybe the mood of the country isn't as the far left would wish it. (Transcript)

President & Mrs. Bush will return to Washington on New Years Day.

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island

Quote of the Day:

President Bush: Today, I signed into law H.R. 2764, legislation that will fund the Federal Government within the reasonable and responsible spending levels I proposed -- without raising taxes and without the most objectionable policy changes considered by the Congress. This law provides a down payment for the resources our troops need, without arbitrary timelines for withdrawal. The Congress should quickly take action next year to provide the remainder of the funding needed by our troops.

I am disappointed in the way the Congress compiled this legislation, including abandoning the goal I set early this year to reduce the number and cost of earmarks by half. Instead, the Congress dropped into the bill nearly 9,800 earmarks that total more than $10 billion. These projects are not funded through a merit-based process and provide a vehicle for wasteful Government spending.

… I look forward to working with the Congress in the coming year to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.

JONNY! Thank you for the beautiful Christmas greeting. Spot was THRILLED! He's hanging the picture up over his most precious memory, the crayons you left for him to gnaw on. I would have sent you a Christmas picture, but Photobucket and I are not getting along too well. I can access Photobucket, but it refuses to put my pix on FR. Later this evening, I will, with the advice of some good Freepers, attempt to: ***On Mac OS X: Type lookupd -flushcache in your terminal to flush the DNS resolver cache. (ex: bash-2.05a$ lookupd -flushcache) Once you run the command your DNS cache (in Mac OS X) will flush. Once the above suggestions have been tried, please try logging into and using your Photobucket account again. If the problems persist, please click the contact us link below and provide a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing. Please be sure to include details for any steps you have already attempted to resolve the problem.*** If all goes well, I'll send you a picture. If you never hear from me again after I follow the instructions, I hope you have a nice life.
