I found myself dashing back into the dining room to get a menu for him to sign.

Great Story

[sonserae]

So excellent.
He's definitely got his priorities straight.
Not interested in power but just doing his job.

If you walk into a bar or restaurant and ask for a "beer," 9.9 times out of 10 you're going to be handed a beverage containing alcohol.

No, 100 times out of 100 the bar tender will ask you what kind of beer you want, if you are not a 'regular.' Trust me, I am a professional at this. ;~)) Now if it's a regular haunt where I'm know, they they don't bother asking --- they already know. They have my beer waiting before I even sit down.

Since by definition, the POUTS is a regular where ever he goes. They will have his brand properly chilled with a nice frosty mug and ready to go, and his brand appears to be that sissy NA crap from Budweiser. (I Guess it can't be any worse than the other crap they sell.)

As to the pin heads at DU, who cares? If W suddenly walked on water, they would call it proof that he is incapable of flying.

I thought the story was well written and very wonderful. Thanks for posting this. It made my night. I never read articles twice here..but this one I will. I'm also on my way to Salon.com to thank them for printing it.

[GUIDO]

Thank you so much for posting this. So many of us here never even think to log on to salon.com for good reason. So this is really appreciated. It brought tears to my eyes. These people will vote for him in 2004 no doubt about it because they saw that PRESIDENT BUSH is real, down to earth, a christian and gave them the time of day. This guy probably didn't even vote for him but this small simple gesture showed him the real GEORGE W BUSH. What a blessed nation we are to have him as our leader. I find that I can't thank God enough for him. again thanks.

Salon? Salon. Salon? Ok, thanks Salon for printing this. Greeat read.

I think he was trying to send an underhanded warning to the Liberals that people really like this man, and that they had better come up with a new plan.

Well, should they not come up with a new plan? Obviously, the DemocRat party needs to re-evaluate itself. Right now, they're off the deep end, but one by one, maybe some will realize the error of their ways.

OK, so one can dream, can't one?

"What's your name?" he asked, looking me in the eyes. "C-u-l-l-e-n." "Cullen! That's a good Texas name. Thank you for your hard work."

Cullen is, to be certain, a "good Texas name". Like, say, Grady.

But, as you may recall, the most famous single "Cullen" in Texas history is doubtless Cullen Davis. That would be of the Foat Wuth Davises, y'know.

And just what is Cullen Davis famous for?, non-Texans might ask. Why it was one of the most famous Texas murder cases of all times.

Sometime in the seventies, Cullen Davis allegedly attempted to waste his floozy wife, Priscilla, when she arrived at their mansion, home from a date (Cullen and Priscilla were separated at the time, with Priscilla awarded the family home). In the confusion, Priscilla's daughter ends up getting killed instead (she was double-dating with mom...whole 'nuther story). Priscilla and her boyfriend were only injured in the shootout.

The police came for Cullen, who was, by most all accounts, the guilty party. Enter even more famous Texas criminal attorney, Earl "Racehorse" Haynes. The trial was moved from Foat Wuth to Amarillo on a change of venue, whereupon weeks of jury selection (manipulation) occurred.

Eventually, in a major upset, Cullen Davis was acquitted. But not until Racehorse had separated him from the bulk of the family fortune (which was more than a little substantial).

"Cullen" is, indeed, a real Texas name. And it has a real Texas story behind it...

[Mr. K]

Gread read! Thanks for posting that- I needed it...

[ohioWfan]

An unflinching confidence and the requisite swagger, a sWell in a literal sense as he walked in looking ready and robust in a blue suit. The air was immediately supercharged; the prez was in the house.

Hey, lawgirl, I wondered if you noticed that the room actually sWelled when our robust President swaggered in! Are we surprised??........... I think not.

[mlo]

A great story.

[headsonpikes]

Great Post Bump!

[Silly]

I happened to read this at the Salon site the other day -- Lucianne recommended it, as I remember. A nice story.

[mlo]

It even had cheese in it.

[Silly]

Would you shut up about the gosh darn cheese?!

Oops, sorry if I jumped down your throat.

You bastard.

[the]

Wow!

Salon finally prints something worthwhile just before they go out of business.

Thank you for posting this jewel. It renews my faith in a great man, and in the Creator.
