QUOTE(s) OF THE DAY

From the President's Radio Address ~~ November 17, 2007

Excerpt:

"Good morning. In a few days, our Nation will celebrate Thanksgiving. Like millions of Americans, members of Congress will travel home for the holiday. Unfortunately, as they get to work carving their turkeys, they're leaving a lot of unfinished work back in Washington, D.C. And unless they complete this work soon, middle-class Americans will pay higher taxes and American troops will not receive the critical funding they need to fight and defeat our enemies.

Many middle-class taxpayers will face higher tax bills unless Congress acts on the Alternative Minimum Tax, or AMT. The AMT was designed to ensure that the wealthy paid their fair share of taxes. But when Congress passed the AMT decades ago, it was not indexed for inflation. As a result, the AMT's higher tax burden is creeping up on more and more middle-class families."

*snip*

On Wednesday, the House passed a bill that once again has Congress directing our military commanders on how to conduct the war in Iraq as a condition for funding our troops.

We do not need members of Congress telling our commanders what to do. We need Congress listening to our military commanders and giving them what they need to win the war against extremists and radicals.

Congress knows I'll veto this bill. During this time of war, our troops deserve the full support of Congress -- and that means giving our troops the funding they need to successfully carry out their mission. I urge Congress to work quickly and send me a clean bill so we can fulfill our obligation to our brave men and women in uniform."

He is so far and above above all the anguished crappola than algore spouts, and besides: he was raised with far more class and nobility than that doofus ... LOL. He can be counted on always to be gracious and do his Mother and US proud.

At some point this weekend, I strongly recommend that you view the following videoclip from the National Adoption Day festivities at the White House — the President and First Lady made comments (the President’s were particularly funny and poignant) and a Country star (his name eludes me, but he did tell a WONDERFUL story about his own adoption) entertained the group!

Looking over the list of nominees, Nan Aron, president of the Alliance for Justice, a liberal legal affairs group in Washington, said that “this is hardly the fresh start that Americans had expected from Michael Mukasey — it has all the signs of the perpetuation of the politicization of the department.”

Mukasey could have nominated King Solomon, and Nan Aron wouldn't have been satisfied.

Good monring (here) STARWISE and thank you for the Dose... the few pix that are available are great & your related posts are jam packed with good information.

I know many of us are very anxious about WHO will be gracing the white house next term. We can probably never expect anyone to match the feelings we have towards POTUS/Laura/girls.. but man, the thought of the leading RATS —— we;; it just makes me ill.

Again thank you for the hard work you do to provide us NOT JUST AN evenings worth of fun but a great archives for the future..
