In what can be called a massive restructuring and combining of government agencies, President Bush addressed the country this evening and outlined his proposal for elevating the Department of Homeland Security to a cabinet position. In this new cabinet position, the following agencies will be consolidated into one mission, homeland security: the Coast Guard, the Border Patrol, the Customs Service, Immigration officials, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In addition to sharing information among all of these different agencies, the Department of Homeland Defense will be charged with four tasks:
1. To control our borders and prevent terrorists and explosives from entering our country.
2. To work with state and local authorities to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies.
3. To bring together our best scientists to develop technologies that detect biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons, and to discover the drugs and treatments to best protect our citizens.
4. To review intelligence and law enforcement information from all agencies of government, and produce a single daily picture of threats against our homeland. Analysts will be responsible for imagining the worst, and planning to counter it.
The President urged Americans to call their representatives and encourage them to support the plan. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!
Thanks so much rintense! You are very much appreciated by all Bush Bots near and far!
OK, we camp, so we have sleeping bags and those itty bitty roll out pads that you can put on the basement floor. There's lots of room down there, and it stays really cool in the summer. I figure you can be here in 3 hours, so leave by 10:00. :o)
Mystery, it's an easy 6 hours for you, so you'll have to get started a little earlier.
You can both stay for the clean-up, but the perk is that you get to eat any leftover meatballs, which there may not be many of if everyone on the Dose shows up.
I'll be ready for you guys! Come on and PARTYYY!!!!
(Sorry....the punch will not be spiked.....but it's a tasty mix of Hawaiian Punch, 7up and rainbow sherbet!)
It's a fitness program that combines aerobic circuit and weight resistance training. It takes about 40 minutes, and they recommend a minimum of three times a week. I've been trying to go five time a week.
It's hard for me to explain the concept: there are about 18 "stations", and you only spend 35-45 seconds on each station, and you do three "laps" or "circuits", then have a cool-down, stretching process. You start out on a jogging pad where you warm up, then proceed alternately with jogging pads to various resistance machines geared to different parts of your body. Most of the resistance machines are great: one of them has helped me tremendously with neck and shoulder pain. THere are a couple of resistance machines, however, that I think could have been used during the Inquisition ;-)
They have a website: www.curvesforwomen.com which will tell you where the locations are. They don't advertise on TV - only in newspapers. They'll give you a freebie trial if you're interested. What I like is that it's only women, and most of the women in the one I go to are not 20 year-old hardbodies, they are real women, all ages (one lady is in her 70's), shapes, and sizes.
Amen to this! Without Rintense and the Dose I wouldn't have a clue what W is up to. I seldom watch TV anymore and I hate having to read through all the 1,000 post threads of late. Oh yeah, I don't listen to Talk Radio either, except for little snippets here and there before I turn them off. The Dose is wonderful. Thank you Rintense.
Rintese thanks for the Photo's
And Mark Levin is on Alen Keys show NOW!!!
Looks like George W. Bush snuck up on em again. They keep on playing checkers while he's playing chess. But this time he has their queen and it's checkmate.
This will rule the news and the talking heads will be talking about this for quite a while. It will be all good for Dubya and the elections this fall will be centered around wheather the Democrats fall in line, NO ISSUES for RATS to run on..... I love it.
When president Bush called on we the people to call our represenatives I could hear the cold blooded screams from the left side of the isle already. Diane FienSwine look like she was on death row when she said "We should of been consulted" I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my chair... Sure FinesWine, The President should always consult his enemies before he makes his important decisions, and he should trust you not to undermine him. Yeah right, President Bush was shot in the leg not in the head. FACE IT YOU LOST ANOTHER ONE FIENSWINE
happy fingers, I guess.
I actually like this picture very much from tonight:
Talk about Gravitas. It is there in spades!
