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.

Well, I doubt if he does any gardening!!!!

I don't see either of the scenic pictures you posted, just see little red x's. Is it just me?

[GretchenEE]

Do you get a red X? It should appear as a photo - if you have a red X, can you right-click it and hit Show Picture?

[GretchenEE]

I'm ignorant of whom Bernard Kerik is -- please enlighten me!

[GretchenEE]

I'm going to upload them on freeyellow.com and see if they appear.

I hit right click and show picture, and still don't see it, Gretchen.

[mtngrl@vrwc]

...if you have a red X, can you right-click it and hit Show Picture?

Nope, doesn't work. I get a message that says I am not authorized to view this page.

**Am I (gasp) first? **

Actually I was. I was in line at the grocery store and thought of the Dose...before it was posted...so you see, I'm first. :o)

Hey, Gretchen, I did my usual right click, copy properties and paste it on the address at the top, click on Go, and it says I'm "Not Authorized to view the picture" from Kodak.

I want you SEE your pictures!

Your Seattle waterfront picture comes up on my monitor as a small, torn sheet of paper with someone's collection of pills on it. I'm told that means a "broken link." I don't even get an interesting red X. But then, I'm about to take an axe to my monitor anyway. Thanks for the effort. I'm fascinated by Seattle.

An early 'Dose" :-)

I heard Ari's remarks today.... It was great

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Well...since there aren't many pictures tonight, here's an oldie from shortly after the inauguration:

[homeschool mama]

You are here.

[homeschool mama]

hi mtnchickee. won't be at the chat this evening...dinner out. :o)

[mystery-ak]

Of course I remember....just teasing(are you buying this)....but it would be great if it is true.

Prime Minister Koizumi looks like that "Iron Chef" guy.

You mean Kaga?

[homeschool mama]

Ari's remarks.

DO post!

[kitkat]

Yeah! I would love to see that too, Howlin. After Daschle's Senate refused to go ahead with the presciption bill today, he was on radio saying that the Republicans just refused to do anything to help the elderly with their prescriptions. THE GALL!
