    Found these quotes from some of the soldiers with Bush at dinner, posted in the Guardian article on his visit


    ----
    Wearing an exercise jacket with a 1st Armored Division patch, Bush stood in a chow line and dished out sweet potatoes and corn for Thanksgiving dinner and posed with a platter of a fresh-baked turkey.

    Soldiers at the dinner spoke enthusiastically about Bush.

    ``He's got to win in '04. No one else can prosecute this war like he can,'' said Army Capt. John Morrison from Butler County, Pa. Said PFC1 Kyle Crittenden of Humboldt County, Calif.: ``I'm proud to serve in his Army.''

    -------

    BTW, keep the pics coming for those of us who do not have cable. And have you contributed to Bush's re-election campaign today?? Let's put our $$$ where our internet posts are, so to speak.

    Good Idea - but she will ignore you. She ignored the people of the district she ran in.

    I worked for her opponent, Tim Escobar, a fine first-time Republican candidate. Tim belongs to the National Guard, is a Gulf war vet (hellicopter pilot), and a small business man. They were both running in a a new, gerry-mandered distict, just made for a Hispanic. It is shaped like a big U and contains parts of 6 diffierent cities. It has a Dem to GOP registration ratio of about 3 to 1, so while Tim did well, he couldn't overcome the Dem registration advantage and the backing that Linda got from the unions. (She listed her profession on the ballot as "union activist"). Tim was endorsed by several prominent Dems, as they dislike Linda too. He was also hurt by the lackluster performance of Simon at the top of the ticket, of course, and Linda got a bunch of PAC money.

    Oh well - maybe next time??
  • Would Any Music Lovers Recommend CD Cataloging Software??

    Try

    MusicMatch 7.0 from www.musicmatch.com

    They have a free download but the full version is only $19.95 or so.....
    it will connect to the CDDB data base and will manage multiple libraries (if you want).

    It is orientated towards converting the CDs into mp3 (compressed files) and
    enabling you to assemble your own custom CDs (e.g., "mlmr's Best of Sting" and write those onto blank CDRs,
    but I am sure that you can use it for the purpose you want. It is a pretty well thought out piece of software.

    Good Luck
