My 15.5 year old daughter just received notice that she has been selected to attend the Republican National Convention as part of the Junior Statesmen Program through Northwestern University. She's going to have private meetings with key Senators, Cabinet members, Congressmen and staffers. Maybe even a photo op with Condi, Laura or Jenna. What a blast for a great kid.
She just completed an intensive program in American Government at Northwestern, where they take 100 high school kids and have them spend 6 weeks in the dorms at Northwestern attending classes 5 days a week and meeting with Congressional staffers and actual congresscritters on Saturdays. She received notice today.
At the Program at Northwestern, the mix was about 65% Libs, 35% Conservatives and she slammed every debate she had to participate in. She wore her "Fox and Friends" T-shirt to class and got the nickname of "Foxy."
Can you tell that I'm so proud?
MeGa PiNg!
AWESOME!!!
You must be one PROUD DAD! :0)
BTTT!!!!!!
Proud Dad. You raised her right! Hmmmm, you think she may be one of our next generation GOPs?
"She wore her "Fox and Friends" T-shirt to class and got the nickname of "Foxy."

and I'd like Jenna Bush's phone number.
I'm a dirty old man by I'm ok with that. :-)
Congratulations!
Awesome!
As you should be, Congratulations to you both!
Although I'm a blonde lover, too. I think Barbara is the hottest of the Bush twins.
And Yes, I'm a dirty old man, too.
About 20 years ago I dated a phenomenal woman whose first name was Barbara. She went by her middle name of Lynn but I called her Babs. She told me, "Only you and my Dad call me 'Babs'" I replied, "Who's your daddy, Babs?"
She later dumped me for a woman. Go figure.
Thanks, Mayor. I certainly enjoy the morning coffee at the Foxhole.
I enjoy posting the Coffee with the Bread everyday.
Glad you like it.
You got a special girl there my friend.
God Bless
You tell that young lady that not only is her pappa proud but so are two Vets!! :o)
Tell "Foxy" we said "Go get em"! What an honor, and she should be very excited and proud. That is so cool! Meeting Dr. Rice would be a real highlight! We HAVE to have a complete update. You better start a PING list now.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, y'all. I'll provide updates when they become available.
Congratulations! What an awesome achievement and honor for a young girl who obviously deserves it! Your happiness and pride are understood and contagious! Please, tell your daughter I am also happy and proud of her!
