PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: President Bush will spend much of his day with Marines and sailors, attending church and joining them for lunch at the base in Twentynine Palms, CA.
Last night in Indian Wells, near Palm Springs, GWB helped pull in nearly $2 million for the RNC at the Toscana Country Club. Tomorrow, after a speech on immigration in Orange County, the President heads for Las Vegas and a fundraiser for Nevada Congressman Jon Porter. From the podium, the President mentioned dignitaries in attendance such as Dug Sundheim, California Republican Party chairman; Bruce McPherson, Secretary of State; Sen. Chuck Poochigan, R-Fresno, a candidate running unopposed in the June Republican Primary for Attorney General; Steve Poizner, running unopposed for the Republican nomination for Insurance Commissioner and U.S. Reps. Connie Mack, R-FL, and Mary Bono, R-Palm Springs, who happen to be dating but were seated at different tables. In his remarks, the President highlighted the War on Terror and how students need to be prepared for the future.
After his lunch and visit with the Twentynine Palms base Marines and sailors, GWB is expected to spend the rest of the weekend at an undisclosed location in Rancho Mirage.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: Over the past couple of days, the President spoke publicly on a number of issues -- too many to single out one quote. So I've linked to three important transcripts on the White House website. With these links at your disposal, you can read the transcripts at your convenience.

Folks who have been following this presidency closely from the beginning know that President Bush has been trying to get Congress to pass a comprehensive energy bill ever since 2001. Here is a link to the President's Letter to the American People about his Advanced Energy Initiative, and a summary of the initiative. For those interested, the linked WhiteHouse.gov page also contains a link to download a .PDF copy of the complete Advanced Energy Initiative document. Other than cutting back on our driving and other uses of gasoline, we can't do much about the soaring costs of fuel in the short term. However, we can help the President ensure a more energy-secure future for us and our children and grandchildren. I urge all Dosers (active and lurking) to familarize themselves with the President's proposals, and to pressure your congressional representatives and senators to pass either the entire initiative or those portions of the proposals with which you agree.
Hi Meg. You're welcome.
And she doesn't sing you pretty lullabies to you either. ;)
Well done sorry about the throat but at least you know what it is.
Hi Seven. I would too. Toss them in prison and throw away the key.
God has blessed US with these young men (and women), Texagirl.
THEY are the reason we are still FREE.
I wish he had swung by near where I live so I could go see him. Sigh.
Very true. I miss my lullabies :(
Well at least you will have a clear head because you will not be able to drink :0)
This morning, I fantacised about seeing a herd of black Suburbans coming up our road, because we live a hundred yards from a well known local trailhead....didn't happen, though!
snow geese............. fantastic
Evening, Snugs :) Hope all is well with you and your dad.
Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight
With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight
Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
Guten Abend, gute Nacht, Mit Rosen bedacht,
Mit Naeglein besteckt, schlupf unter die Deck'
Morgen frueh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt
Morgen frueh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt
Guten Abend, gute Nacht, Von Englein bewacht
Die zeigen im Traum, dir Christkindleins Baum
Schlaf nun selig und suess, Schau im Traum's Paradies
Schlaf nun selig und suess, Schau im Traum's Paradies
(I want you to note that my German pronunciation is particularly good. ;)
Hope you feel better now (fluffing up your pillow.....)
It was so damned windy from about 6pm on, that I doubt he stuck his head outside...we sure as heck didn't. We've got downed palm fronds all over the streets this afternoon.
I know. Talk about a baby face. And yes, God BLESS those boys.
Hi snugs. You're welcome. I haven't caught up with yesterdays pings or your FReemail yet. :)
So glad to hear you went to the doc.
Sorry it's strep.
Glad there's a cure!
Yep. They sure are -- and they were called the Chocolate Mountains before Ray Nagin was even a gleam in his pappy's eye.
Great dose today, Wolfie. I especially love the ones with the service members.
Hi OWF. Thanks. High praise because it comes from you. :)
