President Bush today begins a stay in McLennan County that will include an economic forum in Waco and a ranch visit from the president of Mexico.

Bush's ranch near Crawford will be his home base for the next month, as it was last August. Hundreds of Washington staffers and reporters will find temporary homes in Waco hotel rooms.

Bush is entitled to his month in Crawford. (It's the visit from Vincente Fox that concerns me.)

Looks like the government has another Waco in store for us.

Why does he pick the hottest, most miserable month to come to the ranch? Is it just to piss off the press? It can't be too enjoyable to be out-of-doors on the ranch this time of year.

Wow - I hadn't heard about the forum at Baylor. I'll be sure to take some pictures. I'm going to Crawford soon with some out of town visitors to take pictures, too.

This is the falls park in Crawford - moonrise a couple of weeks ago

"A CNN/ USA Today /Gallup poll showed that 44 percent of Americans surveyed last week believe four weeks is too much time for Bush to spend at his ranch."

Did CNN/Gallup every ask a poll question like, " Do you think it is appropriate for President Clinton to have an affair with an intern in the Oval Office" or " Is selling US technology and secrets to the Chinese, treason ?". I can't believe that anyone,except the hardcore Democrat intellectually challenged, would believe one word,one syllable, uttered by today's media( FOX News being the glaring exception ). Talk about a lack of gravitas and an abundance of bias.

Dear McLynnan,

President McBush today begins a stay in McLennan County
He'll also host the economic forum [at] ... Baylor's McLane Student Life Center
Hmmmmm.

--- Trying to put on a friendlier face for the press [after they were restricted in their access to the local school], the Crawford Chamber of Commerce will host a "meet the press" barbecue for journalists on Thursday.

Sounds like a pretty savvy Chamber of Commerce. Good for them.

Thannks for posting; and for pinging me.
