President Bush honored the 2006 NHL Stanley Cup (hockey) Championship Carolina Hurricanes at the White House. [I lost the b key on my keyboard with the Great Water Mishap earlier this week so if I type a b that doesn't show up, and forget to copy and paste it in, please insert it mentally into the text. In my replies I might start typing a v in place of b.]
Secretary of State Rice hosted a meeting of "the Quartet" to discuss events in the Middle East.
Defense Secretary Gates and General Pace held a news conference at the Pentagon. Text here.
National Security Adviser Hadley conducted the press briefing today, discussing the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), text and video here. The NIE is "an effort to bring together all the elements of the intelligence community and come out with a consolidated set of judgments about the situation in Iraq." It is a new document, provided to the president to develop a new strategy or new approach to Iraq.
Laura Bush promoted heart health awareness by attending the Red Dress Heart Truth fashion show in New York.
I have Emailed the yahoos at Yahoo and asked the same questions as you raise. Of course they don't condescend to write back but at least they know I am not impressed with their flagrant bashing of this First Lady.
I marvel with you!
Psst, Wolfpat: I had to look up "Cackalacky".
Cacalacy (or Cackalacka, Cackalack) is a slang or nickname form of Carolina, used in reference to North Carolina or South Carolina (e.g. North Cackalacky, South Cackalack), found in the Southern United States. Commonly used by long-haul truckers, military, rappers and tourists, this nickname is considered derogatory by some natives.
Cackalackie derives from cack·le Pronunciation: 'ka-k&l Function: intransitive verb Inflected Form(s): cack·led; cack·ling /-k(&-)li[ng]/ Etymology: Middle English cakelen, of imitative origin 1 : to make the sharp broken noise or cry characteristic of a hen especially after laying 2 : to laugh especially in a harsh or sharp manner 3 : CHATTER
Cackalackie developed as a nickname because natives of the region tend to be very talkative and engage in idle talk for long periods of time. It is seen as derogatory because the base term cackle has negative connotations.***
John Edwards is a Cackalackie.
One of my guilty pleasures is getting in the longest line at the SuperMarket and sneaking a peek at the tabs while I wait.
Well three weeks ago, the GLOBE said Laura was leaving W because the War has made him seek solace in drink; last week they said W was kicking Laura out because she was too needy (after her cancer scare) and that he does not have time for her whining (I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP) and today I was so disgusted I did not even read the article but the headline said that they have agreed to a trial separation!!!
How can they get away with this; one only has to look at a photo of W and his Laura, any photo at all, to see the love in their eyes.
They get *away* with it because the president and first lady are too classy to sue their sorry behinds off.
I got the feeling the Pentagon briefing room was fairly large, but it looks pretty small.
Sec. Gates has clearly decided to change the dynamic that our beloved Rummy used ....
Just for old times ..
Go
!!!!
(But, if Tony Dungy/Colts win, I won't be sad. He's such a wonderful man who's worked so hard for the big win ;)
Anyone in their right mind looking at these photos can tell they are a close couple who are very much in love.
Hi STAR(bright), I don't have a horse (or a bear) in this race so I will be rooting for whichever team storms out of the locker rooms and starts showing command of the field first.
To some unhappy souls, those photos would be chalked up to Academy Award-level acting. !!
Thank you for looking that up and posting it -- I wondered avout it myself.
My son had a cellphone that was dunked. He thought it was gone. But he kept it around. Six months later he tried it again and it was all right. I don't know how long it took to dry out, he didn't check it regularly.
Hope you get the one you're trying to get.
Yeah, but it's okay if I use it because I was born here. John Edwards is not really from here. He's from South Cackalacky, where they think you should put mustard on BBQ (shudder).
You're velcome! Thank YOU for posting today's Island of Sanity.
No wonder he never asks "y" about anything. He just rants and raves! You just know he'll force by law the dropping of the "y" and tax us for it, if he gets into office...
Euwww.
That is an extremely egregious abridgment of barbecue etiquette.
I do, too, vecause even though it is used, it is the only one I have veen avle to find that is like the one that got wet. (Good price, too.) The touchpad on this one is under the arrow keys, and almost all the newer ones have it under the space var, which seems silly to me vecause of the way you have to move your arm. I mean, I have to move my arm to use the touchpad under the arrow keys, vut it's a right-swing motion and more natural.
There are two other vids on it. I hope they're not watching so they won't pounce and up the vid when I put mine in, shortly vefore vidding closes.
