>>...The America of today is presented to you by the grandchildren of the World War Two generation. In the worst show of mass rebellion possible, this new generation has become a horror to its parents by believing in the founding ideals of this country and willingly dispersing to the corners of the Earth to bring true freedom to all. These men and women are not willing to be the vicTIMS the 60s generation wants. They are vicTORS...<<

WELL SAID!!

"How about the USS Bubba: "

USS Bubba looks like Gilligan and the Skipper's boat.
SS Minnow.

Wish Clinton had gone on a three hour cruise.

Kristol on Fox: GWB is averaging one regime change every 9 months.

As a midwife, Dubya has delivered Saddam of an entire nation.

Someone might want to let Jesse Jackson know that the female sailor adoring and hugging the president is a, cough cough, woman of color.

Determined to bury Dubya's triumph today, CNN/Aaron Brown is wallowing in Enron arsenic poisoning stuff. They're not happy unless they're profiling victims.

When they ask "Where are the WMD?" Just tell them Hans Blix had five months and we have only had a few weeks. Tell them to come back in four months. How is that? I heard Tommy Franks say this to the media one day.

...that we are just at the start of the true Clinton legacy and it may haunt this Nation for decades to come.

No doubt we will have to deal with the Clintons' legacy...but, now with the right leader we are ready, willing and able to do so.

Fear not....the truth has set us free!



Yes, I don't think we will see another Mogadishu with a US soldier's body being dragged without also knowing severe retribution will soon follow (GWB), rather than tucking tail and running away (Clinton).

The Dose is a doozy tonight!

Yes. Fox said they were issued brown leather bomber jackets

From the post speech feed, I'd say they were wrong. They wore green nomex flight jackets and kaki pants, not all had on the same color shirts though. They did stick to the POTUS mighty close during the handshaking and mingling, which lasted longer than the speech! Longer than the feed (NBC SanDiego) that I was watching.
