A day in the life of President Bush (8/15/05): old photos

OMG that's so true! Prince Charles - whodathunkit.

They do!!.....and really, it's not okay for a guy, either! That's why only Camilla could love him--they look like twins!

Screw Barney toaster I want real thing BARNEY THE DOG LOL!

Thanks DrDeb, Great links :-)

Hi snugs. Thanks for tonight's Dose. Pics of babies and children are always welcome here.

You're welcome!

Time for bed . . .

GNite DrDeb

only in America can someone so "sorry" get so much attention, press "face time", and notoriety. If she were in certain countries, she would disappear in the night.

Having worked with grieving people I do know there is the gamut of possibility in the various stages of grief. I feel it is truly sad that she has gone from the edge of grief to activism that dishonors the person she is grieving.

Wonder what she was like pre-Casey death... I have really not read the threads to know, but a curiosity.

At the VP debate in Cleveland Ohio

That would have been the evening when the Vice President wrung out Johnny Edwards's sweaty T-shirt with his bare hands.

Thanks for these, snugs. Great job. Very enjoyable.

Thanks for links Deb. Tuesday & Wed will be a two part/two day thread at Finest on the Ohio & WV FReepers gretting the california FREeper visitors. Mama_bear (lori) will be posting. I will ping you.

A couple of new/update photos on Yahoo today:

Phil Mickelson takes a congratulatory phone call from President Bush after winning the 2005 PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey, this morning. Mickelson clinched his second major title with a one-shot victory in the weather-delayed PGA Championship.

Late today, Yahoo posted this close-cropped photo of GWB taken last Thursday at the ranch after he met with his national security team. Gen. Meyers was to the President's left and, of course, the Vice President is standing a little behind the President in this photo.

Biking on the terrain is rough enough but in the heat it is really tough. I give him a lot of credit & glad he took others on the circuit to understand he is not just a casual cyclist. Of course it is doubtful the MSM will have any respect for him, just question that he is doing anything fun on his vacation(and few would consider his biking "fun", would they?)

Proverbs 8

       ³⁴ Blessed is the man who listens to me,
      Watching daily at my gates,
      Waiting at the posts of my doors.
       ³⁵ For whoever finds me finds life,
      And obtains favor from the LORD;
       ³⁶ But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;
      All those who hate me love death.

An amazing new story from Newsweek.
God Bless President Bush.

sungs, thanks for a delightful Dose.

I was wondering if you have ever seen, or happen to have, the picture of the President and a wheelchair bound T-Ball player. It was during the first year of T-Ball, and I thought it was the most poignant picture I had ever seen on the Dose or anywhere.

Dolly--I don't even wonder anymore. She has sullied her son's memory and that's what she will go down for! It negates anything she did before his death, IMO! It might help if she would apologise to our President for all the vile things she's accused him of, but I'd have to think long and hard about it then. All I can do is pray that her heart will soften.

Great closeup!!! Snagged! :o)

Thanks DrDeb. I appreciate the links...especially the Biking bit and the Hitchens piece.

Ahhh. The last one...of his granddaughter all snuggled up in his big strong arms is terrific.

Thanks for another terrific dose. I hope all is well.

It IS amazing that Newsweek actually said something good about our President. It was a pleasure to read.
