PRESIDENTIAL NEWS OF THE DAY: With the First Lady involved in events related to the National Book Festival this weekend, the President spent Saturday at Camp David where he enjoys the more challenging mountain bike riding trails. Yesterday, an article by Laura Bush (her preferred way of being addressed) appeared in the Opinion Journal of The Wall Street Journal. In it, the First Lady discusses the books that inspired her to champion literacy. Here's a link to the article, and following is the list of the books that inspired her, in the order she ranks them:

1. "Hop on Pop" by Dr. Seuss (Random House, 1963).

2. The "Little House" Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder (Harper, 1932-43).

3. "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1880).

4. "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott (1868).

5. "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain (1884).

In the meantime, President Bush is set to campaign heavily for Republican candidates between now and election day. Tomorrow he beings a three-day swing through Nevada, California, Arizona and Colorado. White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said GWB will be on the road almost constantly between now and Election Day. "You're going to see a very active travel schedule. He's going to be all over the country campaigning for Republicans," Snow said at a recent breakfast. "There are a lot of candidates saying, 'Please, please, please, come to my district or come to my state.'"

The First Lady and Vice President Cheney have already been on a heavy campaign schedule. Now, with just over a month left in the mid-term campaign, the President will join them on the campaign trail.

Miss Beasley joins the family and, like women the world over, quickly learns to scold the man of the house.

Not only does she nip and nag him, but she steals Barney's soccer balls.

But Beezie doesn't know how to moonwalk like Barney does.

From a letter to the White House addressed to Barney, and Barney's reply:

NAME: Jamie
LOCATION: Goleta, California

Dear Barney
My 2 German Shepherds wanted me to ask you the following:
How do you do all this amazing stuff when you don't have opposable thumbs?
-- Jamie

Dear Jamie

Thumbs are overrated.

Thanks, Wolfstar. Your Barney captions reminded me that we have only two more years of President Bush. WHile I will miss him dreadfully, I hope he enjoys his retirement in Crawford, and Jenna and Barbara hurry up and get married and give him grandchildren.

Great choice of photo, Wolfstar.

Isn't that a great photo. Cicero, I didn't know Woodward was being honored at the moment that photo was taken. Maybe that explains the slightly ironic expression on GWB's face.

Hi MamaB. I'm good. How are you doing? I haven't been around much because September has been an extraordinarily busy month for me. Octobor will be also, as I am moving. But I think about you often.

I also saw the Common Tator thread. Very sad and am praying for his recovery. Thanks for the dose as always.
