President Bush met with Saudi Arabian Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan at the Bush Ranch in Crawford, Texas today to discuss the Mideast, including Iraq. Bin Sultan still asserted the official Saudi opposition to any action against Iraq. Bush also pushed the Ambassador to do more for children- American citizens- who are being held in Saudi Arabia because their father's are living there. Bush specifically raised the case of Amjad Radwam, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen who was not allowed to leave Saudi Arabia with her mother, Monica Stowers, in 1985. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

How true. My only internet war was against Wash U in St. Louis when they tried to deny young people who were joining the military the same benefits as the rest of the students. I did a serious Grrrrr. We won, BTW. You would have liked that fight. Freeping can be fun, and effective.

A man was sent to Hell for his sins. As he was being taken to his place of eternal torment, he passed a room where Bill Clinton was having an intimate conversation with a beautiful young woman. "What a ripoff," the man muttered. "I have to roast for all eternity, and that Democrat gets to spend it with a beautiful woman." Jabbing the man with his pitchfork, the escorting demon snarled, "Who are you to question that woman's punishment?"

Is it? I honestly have no idea. Looks like the prince is a laid back kind of guy, though.

Poor you with an only child left. Now we are alike with that big empty nest looming. It seems like we once discussed our girls and they are about the same age -- hormonal. Your dinner sounds lovely and elegant.

The old man was critically ill. Feeling that death was near, he called his lawyer. "I want to become a Democrat. Get me a change of registration form." "You can do it", the lawyer said, "But why? You'll be dead soon, why do you want to become a Democrat?" "That's my business! Get me the form!"

Four days later, the old man got his registration changed. His lawyer was at his bedside making sure his bill would be paid. Suddenly the old man was racked with fits of coughing, and it was clear that this would be the end. Still curious, the lawyer leaned over and said, "Please, before it's too late, tell me why you wanted to become a Democrat so badly before you died?" In a faint whisper, as he breathed his last, the old man said: "One less Democrat".

Thank you so much for posting The Bucket of Cold Water. Much of his opinion reflected my own thinking on the whys and hows of our relationship with Saudi Arabia. His explanation of their "divided oligarchy" sorted some things out in a crystal clear fashion in my head. I'm embarrassed to admit my prior ignorance of the balancing act performed at the top echelons of the House of Saud, but this article explained it very well.

Q: When did Clinton realize Paula Jones wasn't a Democrat?
A: When she didn't swallow everything he presented.
