Chain saw alley

They call it "chain saw alley," a White House hallway devoted to pictures of President Bush working at his Crawford, Texas, ranch. And we're not talking about those staged pictures splashed in newspapers. One shows him perched on a treacherous overhang, saw in hand, at the end of a human chain of two Secret Service agents. We're told that Bush really digs manual labor in the hot sun. In fact, he's the charter member of what he calls the "100-degree club." What's more, when coupled with his fruit diet, he lost 10 pounds on vacation.

That's the ticket

About that mango and coconut ice cream with red chili pepper sauce served at the Bushes' first state dinner–for Mexico–last week. We asked pastry chef Roland Mesnier if the two mixed well. Turning away from first lady Laura Bush, he winked and said, "Yes" with a doubting smirk.

US News shouldn't be so dismissive about the chili pepper sauce over ice cream. It sounds awful, but is surprisingly quite good. And I want to see those pictures of President Bush chainsawing off the overhang.

I'll wager Clinton has never had a callous on his body resulting from any type of physical labor (if he knows the meaning of the phrase), although with two vetos of a ban on partial birth abortion to his credit, he has proven he has a callous heart.

Physical labor is great for the soul, Clinton should try it.

>he lost 10 pounds on vacation

He looked like he lost some weight. Unfortunately, when seen with Fox his suit looked just awful! Hung like a sack. Needs to get the tailor busy and tighten it up.

We all know the only place Clinton could have a callous, and it isn't his hands

[EODGUY]

You're right. One can only imagine what else is attached to that area. On second thought, I don't care to know.

Yup, and Monica Lewinsky didn't get those round lips from eating square meals either!! :-)
