Hi, snugs .. thanks for Dose! I'm loving Condi's new hairstyle .. very much more becoming on her. Her suits must number in the dozens .. she really is quite a fashion plate. But where's Laura?

I didn't hear what Delay's plans are for dealing with our "activist judiciary?" Anyone hear?

Found this, and just love it .. HAPPY DOSING and

I saw Condi interviewed on Fox, and she says she loves to shop. She definitely has a sense of style in her clothing.

I really like her hair, too!

Laura was with GWB he acknowledged her in his speech but there were no photos of her.

***THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. Thanks a lot. Please be seated. Thanks for the warm welcome. It's a pleasure for Laura and me to join you here at the Smithsonian, where America's heritage is kept and where the achievements of all cultures are celebrated.

I am watching UK TV can you give a brief summary thanks

[Theresawithanh]

I like you, you're funny! :-)

[STARWISE]

YAY!! They had a presser .. Delay, Cornyn, Sensebrenner .. proposing a bill that would withhold govt. (taxpayer paid) monies to those municipalities who take private property for commercial uses and not the typical definition of public good via eminent domain.(just paraphrasing here).

Take that, unconstitutional thieves and judges!

[My2Cents]

They should "condemn" the Supreme Court building, and convert the property to a "higher use."

[STARWISE]

[snugs]

But I do look at these pics and appreciate our posters.

Congress Working on Bills to Blunt High Court's 'Kelo' Ruling

Excerpt: 06-30-2005 Lawmakers are trying to blunt a Supreme Court decision that says local governments can seize people's homes to make way for shopping malls and other private development.

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said Thursday the high court had made "a horrible decision" and he hoped it would cause a backlash.

"The only silver lining to this decision is the possibility that this time the Court has finally gone too far and that the American people are ready to reassert their constitutional authority," said DeLay, R-Texas, a critic of recent court decisions.

In a 5-4 ruling last week, the Supreme Court said municipalities have broad power to bulldoze people's homes and put up shopping malls or other private development to generate tax revenue. The decision drew a scathing dissent from Justice Sandra Day O'Connor as favoring rich corporations. DeLay agreed.

"Someone could knock on your door, and tell you that the city council has voted to give your house to someone else because they have nicer plans for the property," DeLay said.

Legislation in the works would ban the use of federal funds for any project getting the go-ahead using the Kelo v. City of New London decision. "They're going to have to find their own money, instead of coming to Washington," said Rep. James Sensenbrenner, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., mentioned community development block grants as one type of money source that would be banned for projects advancing as a result of the Kelo decision.

I get the impression she does and certainly Lynne has hinted that one her daughters might run for something and I would think she was dropping a hint regarding Liz.
