  • Scribble Notes
    Nothing fuels my sense of patriotism quite like watching Marine One fly over Washington, DC, to and fro the White House. I know that the sight of a few huge green helicopters over head would make most anyone stop and stare; but I feel something very particular each time I watch this President, and this group of Marines, fly over the buildings and bridges of our nation’s capital city. What I feel is awe – and pride. I’m pretty sure that every time I spy one of those proud flying contraptions, no matter who is inside, I will always think of Number 43. He is, after all, my President. I was born during Carter’s Presidency, and I remember seeing Reagan when he rallied in my hometown. I was smitten with Barbara Bush and Millie the dog, and I met George H.W. Bush not long after he left the White House. Although I came of (voting) age during Clinton’s presidency, I was displeased with him and cast my first big vote for Dole. But President George W. Bush is my President, and I’m proud of it and proud of him. Still. Clearly, it is a little bit controversial to still love President Bush. I’m not naïve about all of the headlines regarding our President. He had a bold, unifying vision when he began his presidential campaign. Unfortunately, the grandeur of his plan was blurred by tragedy and necessity. When reality set in after he became President, it turned out he would have much more to deal with then he could have ever imagined.

Media obituaries expose political bias September 02, 2008 ¦ Brian Fitzpatrick Photo caption: Former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, who died July 4 at age 86, was a staunch ally and friend of the late Dr. Jerry Falwell throughout the Moral Majority years. In 2004, LU separated its schools of business and government and decided to name the latter the Helms School of Government in honor of the right-wing champion. One fundamental standard of civility in our society is to speak of the dead with a certain degree of respect. The liberal media deny this basic courtesy all too frequently when public figures die, especially those who took strong conservative stands in the culture wars. For example, stalwart conservative Sen. Jesse Helms, who died July 4, was condemned by The New York Times: “[His] courtly manner and mossy drawl barely masked a hard-edged conservatism that opposed civil rights, gay rights, foreign aid and modern art.” The Washington Post attacked his “divisiveness.” NBC called him an “ultra-rightist.” When the Rev. Jerry Falwell, founder of the socially conservative Moral Majority, died last year, the media were far nastier.

  • Press Briefing by Tony Snow White House Conference Center Briefing Room
    For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary October 16, 2006 Press Briefing by Tony Snow White House Conference Center Briefing Room 1:13 P.M. EDT MR. SNOW: Good afternoon. Just a quick opening note, and then I'll be happy to take questions. I think everybody now has gotten word, first -- the North Korean test has been concluded to have been nuclear. The White House is continuing to receive regular updates on the Hawaiian earthquake that struck yesterday morning. Fortunately, no deaths have been reported at this time in Hawaii. While there are reports of structural damage, electrical power has largely been restored on the islands. Hawaii's emergency response teams should be commended for their excellent work. We're going to continue monitoring the situation and keeping in close contact with Hawaiian officials; we'll provide assistance, as needed. And the President continues to have in his thoughts the people of Hawaii as they clean up in the aftermath of the earthquake. Questions. David. Q Why did the President call Maliki? MR. SNOW: Well, because it's one of -- the two leaders believe that it's important to stay in regular touch, and this was a base-touching exercise. And he'll continue to do it. Q Is there more to it than that -- MR. SNOW: No. Q -- the President felt the need to reassure him about the political debate in this country? MR. SNOW: No, actually, it was the Prime Minister who raised questions about it, not the President. Q Can you elaborate on that? MR.

  • PAULA POUNDSTONE Biography
    PAULA POUNDSTONE Biography Appearing on stage with a stool, a microphone, and a can of Diet Pepsi, PAULA POUNDSTONE is famous for her razor-sharp wit and spontaneity. The Boston Globe said, “Poundstone improvises with a crowd like a Jazz musician…swinging in unexpected directions without a plan, without a net.” Paula is so quick and unassuming that audience members at her live shows often leave complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter and debating whether the random people she talked to were “plants”. Paula grew up in Sudbury, Massachusetts and by the time she was nineteen was traveling on a Greyhound bus across the country – stopping in at open mic nights at comedy clubs as she went. She credits her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Bump, with being the first one to spot her comedic talents. Bump wrote in a letter to Paula’s parents: “I have enjoyed many of Paula’s humorous comments about our activities.” In 1979 Paula began nurturing her standup comedy talent as part of the Boston comedy scene, and then moved to San Francisco where she continued to flourish. By 1990 she’d relocated to Los Angeles and had starred in several comedy specials for HBO, as well as appeared on Saturday Night Live when friend and mentor Robin Williams hosted the show. Paula’s first one- hour HBO special, “Cats, Cops, and Stuff.” made her the first woman to ever receive the Cable ACE for best standup comedy special. She also starred in a self-titled talk show series for HBO (for which she won her second Cable ACE Award for Best Program Interviewer, beating out other, more recognized names in that field.) In 1992, Poundstone forsook what she considered the ‘staid’ 5-minute standup set on late night talk-shows for something she thought would be more real with the audience and filed memorable field commentary of the Presidential Election for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
