I can't remember the exact wording, but the gist of it was that we should dream big, and "after all, why shouldn't we - we are Americans". If someone can tell me when/where that speech was given I would be greatful."I know in my heart that man is...

I am looking for an acapella version of Mary Did You Know. I do not remember the name of the group which recorded it, but they were a contemporary group that put it on one of their CD's as a "ghost track". The group itself was not acapella, but the song was recorded acapella.

Driving down Military Hwy today in my F150 (fresh from the body shop!) I saw a little Toyota truck with a couple of stickers in the back window. I can't remember the driver side one, but the passenger side sticker said "Fire The Liar", obviously referring to our GW. I have printed out the Kerry-Fonda 2004 graphic I got here the other day, but I want another one to go with it to put in my window.

''Worried well'' may be making themselves sick NORFOLK ­— Doctors at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters tried Wednesday to head off more flu infections by urging parents not to rush children with run-of-the-mill illnesses to emergency rooms, where they are exposed to more serious viruses. The hospital began seeing a surge of patients in its ER early this week, not only flu-sickened children, but also the “worried well” – those with colds and other minor respiratory illnesses.

U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte suggested closing the $1 million-a-year U.N. Information Center (UNIC) at a meeting of the U.N. budget committee Tuesday, one of several proposed cost-cutting measures. U.N. officials were aghast at the suggestion, saying they had been assured that UNIC-Washington was not to be included in a planned consolidation of information...

Nottingham on Thursday stopped the Federal Trade Commission from...
