US President George Bush is attending the G8 Summit at Gleneagles, Scotland, which unfortunately was disturbed today due to the terrorist attack in London. British PM Tony Blair left Gleneagles to return to London briefly to assess the situation though returned to the summit later in the evening.
The summit will continue tomorrow but it is expected to end probably a little earlier than originally intended to allow Tony Blair to return to London tomorrow afternoon
Vice President Dick Cheney will undergo a routine exam Friday to check the condition of a high-tech pacemaker that was placed in his chest in June 2001.
Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said the tests at George Washington University Medical Center would include a physical exam, an electrocardiogram, an echocardiogram and a stress test. The vice president planned to be back at work later in the day, she said.
"It's a routine physical," she said. She said the vice president also would have a colonoscopy later this month.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice signed the book of condolences at the British Embassy in Washington she also met with the British Ambassador to the U.S. David Manning
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
That is my understanding too
My prayers are with you and all your fellow citizens Snugs. May you all find some peace in dealing with this horrific tragedy. Hopefully some day soon, these evil people will run out of bodies who want to kill themselves and everyone near them.
Amen to that but I fear it will not be in our lifetime
Although this doesn't seem like much of a day for levity, I just have to throw in one item. Thank heavens the leaders didn't decide to go all Scots and put on kilts for this pic below. Check out TB.
Now that is a sarcastic and cruel reference to our President and Commander In Chief.
Thanks for posting the dose snugs. I immediately worried about you this morning and am so glad to hear you are OK. My condolenses to families of the lost and injured in this morning's terrorist attack. We have no better friends and allies than the Brits and snugs, you are at the top of the list.
Thank you for your support and kind words.
…… The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
…… He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
……...he leadeth me beside the still waters
…… He restoreth my soul:
……...he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
…… Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
……...I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.
…… Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
……...thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
…… Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
……...and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Hi snugs! Glad you're ok and hope all your loved ones are too. Very nice Dose today, great job as usual.
When we were in London we made a point to ride on every kind of transport we could-- taxi, underground (went to Tower of London that way), and of course a double-decker bus. Also we did a lot courtesy of our feet!
Only to one who is ignorant of the sport of cycling, eskimo.
Real athletes fall off bikes. You know any?
Condi looks so great with her new hairdo.
Okay .. did anybody let her know it was Egypt ..??
Immediately I saw that photo I knew that was a must for the dose.
Amen, Patty! Perfect Scripture for today!
Thank you!
My prayers are with you and your fellow countrymen . . . I now have the Union Jack proudly displayed in my office alongside the Stars & Stripes!
My first thought when I heard the news this morning:
THANK GOD GEORGE W BUSH IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
My second thought:
THANK GOD TONY BLAIR IS STILL THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER!!!
Wonder what his arms look like. Worse than that?
