President Bush spent the day in
North Carolina
Traveling with the president were Press Secretary Tony Snow and Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings
After arriving in Greensboro, NC, the president enjoyed a barbeque lunch at Stamey’s Restaurant, then visited nearby Waldo C. Falkener Elementary School where he spoke about the No Child Left Behind initiative.
Later, President Bush traveled a few miles further south to visit The Victory Junction Gang Camp in Randleman, NC, then on to speak at a private GOP fundraiser.
Enjoy your Wednesday visit to Sanity Island 
so glad you ditched that "substitute" in front of your fancy "Dose Ping"!!!
I got tired of carrying that word everywhere I went--like the Scarlett Letter :) By now everybody knows I'm a sub anyway, so to keep advertising the fact seemed pointless.
I'm glad to ditch it :)
It was a contender :)
*Drool* :)
Thought you'd like that :) I tried to find a photo of Michelle Gilmore, but no luck.
Thanks! I'm still a sub, just got tired of the word :-D
Cheap trick Bill.
*******
Definitely a power trip by BOR. He is a giant! He made president Bush talk while looking up. And the optical value of video was that the camera did close-ups of the President looking up while answering questions. A view that we would not see in a natural circumstance, but only by the aid of a lens.
I bet he would not do the same to a really short politician, or even to John McCain.
Bill Orielly may be taller than GWB, but in my eyes W was still taller! IMHO
Thanks for the ping and for the DOSE.
Adam was young. Just a kid, really. He had a warm, sunny personality and a hugely infectious smile. He was also a very genuine talent behind the wheel of a racecar. The work his family is doing with kids in his name and honor is wonderful.

Better yet was what happened when I mentioned the President's visit. Waitresses, in yet still high excitement, brought Barbara Bare over to my table for a visit. She personally served the President BBQ. Here's what she had to say about him:
"Up until that moment, I had thought his eyes were brown (given TV), but he has the bluest blue eyes. He couldn't have been more approachable, friendly, polite, intelligent, appreciative. He's a fine looking, physically fit, vital, down-home, healthy man who doesn't look his age. And since the President's visit, the place has been hoppin' with massive amounts of diners."
"There's nothing fake about him." and
"We were all very comfortable with him. He has that way."
Barbara will never ever forget her time with President Bush, she was honored to serve him.
Oh, thank you, Alia for pinging me and relaying this information. AND I'm glad that you got to eat some of that delicious Stamey BBQ!
Made my day, and the BBQ was excellent.
