Oh, well. Even before he was gone, I was talking to the wind. That's assuming the air was moving inside his empty skull.

[RinaseaofDs]

Yup.

New Ensigns carry silver dollars in their pockets and toss them to the first people that salute them.

All the little kids come running out of the stands, which is the best part. They salute anything in a uniform with their hands outstretched.

Semper Paratus Bump!

I was hoping for a conversion, but I know some are only happy when they're disrupting. How do we KNOW he was in the jungle.....we only have his word for it, don't we?

Geez, I can't stand Libs!!! My daughter's high school gov teacher is a lib and she stood her ground with him. Got into some vocal debates. She was afraid for a while it might make a difference on her grade, but she decided the point she wanted to make would be worth it. She got a couple points lower than she thought she should.

[Jewels1091]

Well, that explains it...he must have gotten some big bug bite that went straight to his brain!

[Carolinamom]

Good for your daughter! (Good parenting, no doubt about it!)

"America has a spiritual energy." I like that phrase.

I'm going to double the size of the Peace Corps." He just took away Kerry's campaign!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jewels1091]

He made them defend her stand against gay marriage!!! She did! He made her defend her stand to support Bush! Thanks to lots of reading she compared what Bush has done in 2 years to what clintoon DID NOT do in 8, I think he was impressed with her knowledge, even if he didn't agree with her.

Yes, a lot of interesting things said on Africa. I'll be interested in reading it, myself.

When my son was commissioned in the Army he gave his Dad a silver dollar to commemorate the commissioning.

[Carolinamom]

Has your daughter signed up at FR yet? She sounds like a student I would have loved having in my classes (when I was a HS teacher).

[Miss Marple]

LOL! Thanks for the picture. Obviously, the flight suit drives them mad! HAR!

I am telling you, we should make posters of those pictures mounted on sticks and wave them at the democrats!

They would proobably foam at the mouth while their eye rolled back in their heads. Sort of an "Exorcist" effect. LOL!

[dixiechick2000]

"That's assuming the air was moving inside his empty skull."

LOL! That's a huge assumption...and you know what they say about the word "assume".;o)

[dixiechick2000]

Good for your daughter! Be proud...you have raised her right!;o)

[Jewels1091]

Maybe we should take up a collection and make that picture a campaign poster!!!!!!!

[McLynnan]

If the RNC had any sense they'd make a campaign poster out of that picture! I had to reinstall RealPlayer for the CBS link and wouldn't you know by the time I got everything set up the President was uttering his last sentence, lol? He and Ridge look like they're enjoying themselves.

[Howlin]

Oh shoot....I missed it!

[Howlin]

LOL!
