In an effort to improve students' knowledge of American history, increase their civic involvement, and deepen their love for our great country, President Bush began the announced this morning new History & Civic education initiatives in public schools. Bush later headed to Nashville, Tennessee to campaign for Lamar Alexander, and to attend the Pledge Across America event at East Literate Magnet School. Also today, the White House released an official response to Iraq's alleged unconditional acceptance of UN inspectors. The White House Response

Meanwhile, First lady Laura Bush, along with Lynn Cheney, hosted a symposium on Women of the West in the East Room of the White House. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

I noticed on George's bio, that he was born in New Haven, CT - the home of one of my favorite fictional people....ANN TAYLOR!!!!

How 'bout that SuziQ!!!

[chnsmok]

For comparison. Didn't mean to spoil your dinner. I left out Albright. What a difference! No smiles in that bunch!

[NordP]

OH NordP is Dubya a Texan or Chowerhead

I think he spent time in Boston OH MY GOD I hope he didn't hang out with Uncle Ted when he was younger

DUBYA Don't get into car

[NordP]

If you even MENTIONED Helen Thomas...I would have had to have hurled...(they all belong together).

Nothing wrong with state pride! Jesse doesn't count.

[NordP]

Don't worry...he didnt' stay there long....kind of like me and Denver--only spent my first 10 months there...then on to the frozen tundra of Minnesota, where, like W and his next state - I formed my roots (or should I say roooooooots <--with MN accent ;-))

Johnny Carson & Tom Brokaw

Jesse would be okay, if he took JUST that little extra time to think before he spoke. Mostly, I like his straight talk though...kinda refreshing from a politician.

When asked why he was selling dolls of himself for raising campaign money, he said, "I'd rather sell a tangible item, than my influence." ---When he says stuff like that...THAT's when I like him, A LOT ;-)

[SevenofNine]

OH so he is not Chowerhead really

Actually when I went up to Alaska people recongize my Cali accent my LA Street slang like da hood

Crib and what upz

QUOTE OF THE DAY: This is more than academic failure. Ignorance of American history and civics weakens our sense of citizenship. To be an American is not just a matter of blood or birth; we are bound by ideals, and our children must know those ideals.

I liked that statement today, too.

[chnsmok]

Did you happen to go see Hugh Hewitt (radio guy) at the MN state fair? Is there really macaroni and cheese on a stick?

[NordP]

It was GREAT to see yet another day's fine pictures of George...and Laura and Lynne, too...rintense, you outdid yourself!

I have had another lone day...and had my haircut. AND....I'm spent! ha ha.

Goodnight all!

Stick to your guns (as I know you will) W!!! YOU DAH MAN! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Laura and Lynne - you both looked stunning today! ...Ladies you do us all proud!!!

Nite all!

In honor of the double posting, yesterday....I give you -

[NordP]

I never remember m & c on a stick...now, a Pronto Pup, yes, and I worked at our church fairstand - in the 4H Bldg, mind you! ha ha

[NordP]

You'd have a blast in Minnesota, too! There'd be some little old lady saying..."OOOOH, Herb....listen to that nice person talkin' kinda funny....must be from out of town...maybe we should invite 'em over tah dinner!

When I was in 10th grade, we went with the 3M Travel Club to Spain..Morroco and Tangers...Picture this...we're in the Casbah, a bunch of Minnesotans in our "PARKAS" watching them kill chickens in the streets...it was hysterical!

My people are (for the most part) so humble, honest, and cute.

Happy to see today's upbeat photos--lookin' good.

President Bush mentioned in his speech about the failings of history knowledge that x-number of students couldn't identify words from the Gettysburg address. I'm sure that was to directly remind us of this quote,
The last time I checked, the Constitution said, "of the people, by the people and for the people. That's what the Declaration of Independence says.
spoken by Rhodes scholar #42.

Good to see dork Gore make a fool of himself again in the news. The man is weird and everyone should notice.

You forgot Johnny Carson, Norfolk, NE.

[SwatTeam]

My son worked in Minnesooooota for a summer and when he got back to Texas he talked funny for a while. LOL Just kidding!

[Jewels1091]

He claims Norfolk as his home town. In fact, he was my High School commencement speaker. Every thing in this town is Johnny Carson track, Carson Cancer center, Museum etc., etc....in fact he is sending our museum his Emmy's and his Kennedy Center medal not just to display but to keep! Even has a street named for him with big bill boards with his picture on them.
