President Bush, while meeting with his cabinet, denounced the attack against Israel that killed seven and injured 80 people at the Hebrew University cafeteria. He issued a statement on America's current economic growth -- not as strong as he would like, but showing strong signs within the new Department of Commerce report (echoed by some private forecasters) that there will be growth of three to five percent, rather than the 1.1 percent for the spring quarter just past.

Bush met privately with Rudy Guliani, who was in the DC area to give a speech.

Ari Fleischer noted at his press briefing that 60 presidential nominees are awaiting confirmation in the Senate, among them: the Deputy Secretary of Energy; FEMA's Deputy Director; NASA's Deputy Administrator; the Office of Management and Budget Deputy Director; 29 foreign policy nominees (some for critical functions); and of course, judicial nominees. He noted that yesterday Daschle "made a commitment" (undefined by Ari) to the President about the nominations on hold and that some Senate members now are objecting to the commitment.

We're a little light on photos today.

Let me think about this. If you get the big bed, I get the computer, okay?

****THE GALL!****

Daschle = Gallblabber

[McLynnan]

We think alike. Earlier today I thought Saddam might be lulled into thinking he's bought some time since the President is about to begin his vacation. What better time to surprise him?

Does anyone know why the President met with Rudy????

[looney tune]

Rudy says they talked about baseball??!!

[Kath]

Personally I am hoping for triple digit heat the entire time the President is at his ranch with absolutely no rain. It won't bother the President and I want to see the liberal press baked until they are completely miserable like they make the rest of us with their liberal lying.

I agree Rudy would be good at homeland security but Tom Ridge has not been there long and I am not sure it would be fair just to tell him to get lost after giving up the Governor's job in Pennsylvania. And Dubya is very loyal to his people. I don't see him just dumping Ridge.

That was a great article, Dr.Deb. Thanks for posting it. We need such reassurance in view of the liberal media. I mean, WE know it's true, but it's good to know some writers also know it.

"Let me think about this. If you get the big bed, I get the computer, okay?"

Er...sheesh, I forgot who I was tangling with. (Smile) Oh, okay, I'll get a laptop. But I get to row the boat.

[justshe]

Incredible picture....I can never tire of it. (sniff, sniff)

X42 clinton recently made the following statement. Does anyone believe him? I don't.


"Should the Iraqis ever cross over the Israeli border for aggression, "I would personally get in a ditch, grab a rifle, and fight and die."

[Kath]

How can Bush select him for Homeland Security when the Senate doesn't seem to want one created for a cabinet position. Besides, Tom Ridge has only been there a short period of time. How can one justify just kicking him out when he has not even had the advantage of it being a cabinet position.

[Nea Wood]

Actually, I'm in LA, but I haven't seen water that blue since I visited Lake Tahoe. lol

[ohioWfan]

You think Laura gazes into his eyes? Whatever would make you think that, Kath? ;o)
