Quote of the day:

Bush did not mention Sunday's casualties as he addressed a group of small business owners and community leaders at an Alabama factory. However, he spoke of U.S. casualties and said, "Some of the best have fallen in service to our fellow Americans.

"We mourn every loss," the president said. "We honor every name. We grieve with every family. And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders."

"The enemy in Iraq believes America will run," the president said. "That's why they're willing to kill innocent civilians, relief workers, coalition troops. America will never run."

The photos are lovely, thank you...and I got another picture of President Bush today. He is wearing his ranch jacket. Of course the RNC would like a donation.

Hope everyone read the wonderful piece in the WSJ today by Zell Miller. It is posted on FR under 'George Bush vs the Naive Nine.' Be nice if some Republicans could be as complimentary.

Great job, Newbie Dose-Poster! You handled it like a pro. Thanks!

A Psalm of praise tonight, in honor of Mike and mystery .....

Psalm 97

¹ The LORD reigns;
        Let the earth rejoice;
        Let the multitude of isles be glad!

        ²Clouds and darkness surround Him;
        Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
        ³A fire goes before Him,
        And burns up His enemies round about.
        ⁴His lightnings light the world;
        The earth sees and trembles.
        ⁵The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD,
        At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
        ⁶The heavens declare His righteousness,
        And all the peoples see His glory.

        ⁷Let all be put to shame who serve carved images,
        Who boast of idols.
        Worship Him, all you gods.
        ⁸Zion hears and is glad,
        And the daughters of Judah rejoice
        Because of Your judgments, O LORD.
        ⁹For You, LORD, are most high above all the earth;
        You are exalted far above all gods.

        ¹⁰You who love the LORD, hate evil!
        He preserves the souls of His saints;
        He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
        ¹¹Light is sown for the righteous,
        And gladness for the upright in heart.
        ¹²Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous,
        And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

Truth: Great job posting the DOSE tonight!!!

POLLING UPDATE

ABCNEWS/WASHINGTON POST
GWB approval ratings
10/26-29/03 56% approve 42% disapprove (+14)
10/09-13/03 53% approve 43% disapprove (+10)
[Contrary to the media soundbites and news briefs, this poll notes that the President's OVERALL approval rating is UP -- the President's ratings vis-a-vis subcategories (e.g., economy, Iraq, etc) are transitory and therefore meaningless!]

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac3/ContentServer?pagename=polls&nextstep=chooseQuestion&interactive=n&searchPollId=2003300&pollType=National&questCategoryType=n&newsearch=&questCategory=&keyword=&pollDateRange=&startingRow=1


GWB vs Democrat Wannabees:

GWB 54% Dean 39%
GWB 51% Clark 40%
GWB 53% Lieberman 40%
GWB 50% Kerry 44%
GWB 51% Gebhardt 42%

[Yep, the leftist media ignored the specific match-ups, preferring to highlight the MEANINGLESS President Bush vs the unidentified Democrat data!]

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/daily/graphics/poll_103103.html


WARNING: At this very moment, I'm sure ALL of the polling organizations are furiously surveying anyone who agrees to take their call. WHY? They want to produce the most negative polling results possible for the President post-the Chinook helicopter tragedy. BE PREPARED -- the President's ratings will take a hit for the next few polling cycles. REMEMBER: These polls don't mean anything. Only the polls taken in Sept/Oct of 04 have any relevance (and most of these polls are worthless!)!!

Interesting cufflinks. I enlarged the photo and still couldn't see what they were. Can anybody else?
