Duers are contemplating suicide now.

That's what it looked like. They were all trying to figure out how to do the "lemming" thing. But then realized that by doing so, they might harm a tree on the way down and decided to drink green tea until they overdosed.

How wonderful to get an 'insider' report about this great event from your own child! I didn't realize you had family that was currently in the military.

Thanks to you and your daughter for her service.

4th....

That's what I thought it looked like, but somebody else posted that it was the 3 wire.

President was only supposed to be shaking hands for 4 -5 minutes....but that he knew better, lol!

The handshaking went on longer than the speech, or so it seemed to me.

If Gore had prevailed, we would be cowering in our homes while Gore placated the terrorists,

A sobering thought, and most likely right on the mark. Glad we didn't have to find out.

Yes, it is "Morning in America". Again.

the Toon reaps what he sows.

Let's hope not, considering what he sows and where he might tend to sow it. One offspring is enough, if that's all there really is...so far.

Now we take out the euro currency
a dominant United States Dollar IS our national security.

The looks on those sailors faces as they meet GWB and his, right back at them, was priceless and something I and my family will never forget. It reminded me of Bushs visit to ground zero as the clean up was starting.

Bush and "his boys and girls" have changed the world and they did it with class, skill, and compassion. Thank God we won the Election.

I'm too lazy to scroll through 2000 posts. Does anyone know what prompted the CinC to turn and blow a kiss during his hand shaking session after the speech? It was precious!

[Squantos]

Awesome display indeed........Bless him and protect him !

Sure , everyone focused on Florida, but if albore had won his "home" state of Tennessee it would have been moot. Florida is just one of many places that deserve credit for us not having a national nightmare on our hands right now. Give us vols some credit too
