NONE of your five TV stations carried the speech/news conference? WOW! That is sad. ABC, CBS, and NBC all covered it, and our local stations all aired it.

[Billie]

Thanks for the report - would have guessed his surgery to be early this morning instead of late afternoon. Look forward to hearing all went well.

[Billie]

Morning, Aeronaut. Sorry I can't get the thread posted before 5 AM for you to get your 'spot' in line. :)

[Billie]

Sorry I can't get the thread posted before 5 AM for you to get your 'spot' in line

Thanks, and that's OK. I don't get 'hung-up' on that sort of thing.

[Billie]

I think this is so sad when even the flag we'ved waved for 200 years is now "politically incorrect"

First prayer, then the pledge, now the flag itself?!

[DollyCali]

Yes. re colors..

It seems that the libs just need to yell black any time they hear white..

and scream white when they hear black.

Negative, bad, emotes from their ranks

[Billie]

Oh, I know that - just like to tease about the #1 post being yours every day. :)

[Pippin]

These liberals and commies have got to be stopped!

I'm praying hard for a Bush/Cheney victory next November.

Along with Republican victories in ALL states in ALL offices.

[Pippin]

The libbies are EVIL!

[DollyCali]

Yes, it was painful to leave! I returned to Ohio to care for elderly mom for a few months until she relocated in Fla.

She never relocated & after 11 years I am still here as here caregiver.

:(

I was in Houston at Southwest General Hosp.. think it is part of Methodist or Hermann now?

Hi Pippin! Thought I'd drop in and say hello from sunny California this morning. Record heat here today perhaps, but a cool down is coming. I suppose that is good news for some, but not for me! I love the heat!

Prayers for the military, our President, (who just did an awesome press conference) and for my fellow Californians who are battling those horrific fires!

[Pippin]

Hi, (((LIR)))!

Long time, no post!

Prayers out for the Freepers in Southern California!

[Donaeus]

Thank you Pippin, they're much appreciated.

[Pippin]

You're welcome

America For Me

'Tis fine to see the Old World and travel up and down
Among the famous palaces and cities of renown,
To admire the crumblyh castles and the statues and kings
But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things.

So it's home again, and home again, America for me!
My heart is turning home again and there I long to be,
In the land of youth and freedom, beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.

Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air;
And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair;
And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living there is no place like home.

I like the German fir-woods in green battalions drilled;
I like the gardens of Versailles with flashing foutains filled;
But, oh, to take your hand, my dear, and ramble for a day
In the friendly western woodland where Nature has her sway!

I know that Europe's wonderful, yet something seems to lack!
The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.
But the glory of the Present is to make the Future free--
We love our land for what she is and what she is to be.

Oh, it's home again, and home again, America for me!
I want a ship that's westward bound to plough the rolling sea,
To the blessed Land of Room Enough, beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars
