QUOTE OF THE DAY:
President Bush on Thursday said, "...I've come to herald the success of a good piece of legislation. I have come to talk to our citizens about the results that this reform has yielded. And I call upon those who can determine the fate of No Child Left Behind in the future to stay strong in the face of criticism, to not weaken the law -- because in weakening the law, you weaken the chance for a child to succeed in America -- but to strengthen the law for the sake of every child."

...and we are glad you are here and you are first and you win the toaster.
Hopefully, history will be the judge of No Child Left Behind, not the MSM.
Not necessarily but the details are still being worked on. If you are on the Dose ping list, not to worry, you will be kept apprised.
Hi Dolly...you are second tonight...

LOL...yeah that would have knocked the silly grin off of her face.
I am sorry you have a cold, I imagine your resistance was down. Glad you are taking some time off.
DONE!!
This bears repeating:

It’s wonderful that Poppy was able to visit his namesake aircraft carrier!
Bela Pelosi looked like she was trying to smile after sucking on lemons. Whatta hag!
He introduced legislation in 2003 AND 2005, and was voted down both times by the Democrats.
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that you have a cold snugs. I will offer up a little prayer for a fast recovery. I have feared that you did not get my “thank you” for the Christmas candy that you sent. It was such a “sweet” surprise. Again, thank you.
Sorry Nan I did not come back to you sooner but yes I did get your thank you and was planning to answer you but then came down with this cold.
Wonderful Father, Son and Family ... God bless them both.
THANK YOU for the heads up — my VCR will be busy this weekend with both this interview on Sunday and the HW Bush ship christening/commissioning on Saturday!
