Dubious Honor?  
  • White House Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino said Gonzales has the full backing of the president.
    --After Gonzales appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee

  • Nov 1, 2006:
    "Both those men [Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney] are doing fantastic jobs and I strongly support them." -- George Bush
    Nov 8, 2006:
    Bush accepts Rumsfeld's Resignation

  • "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie."
    --Bush to Michael Brown at the height of the post-Katrina response crisis and shortly before he relieved Brown of his duties.

  • October 2005:
    Bush nominates Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court


Is it just me or does The Idiot in Charge's endorsement seem to be code for "Incompetent Crony?" I bet Paul Wolfowitz, currently accused of promoting his lover to a high paying position, hopes that Bush stops touting how much he "has full faith" in him.

Oh, cool! For some reason I thought of you as being over on the Kroger side of Post Oak. Do you know the Willow Pool? My kid used to swim over there in the summers.

Happily, no. Afternoon traffic exiting the freeway is much nicer going to the Randall's side than it is going to the Kroger side. :)

The Willow Pool is on Cliffwood, no? During the summer I drive past a lot of bathingsuit-lad kids. It's a very popular spot in the nabe. Being the sort who wouldn't be caught dead in public wearing tiny scrap of fabric, I've never visited or joined.

There are some great houses over near the pool and schools -- the $400K house is a few blocks from there. We live in the less expensive part of the nabe but even our house has doubled in 10 years. Un-be-liev-able.

Well, shoot. I was hoping there were still some one-room shacks with outhouses available. ;-);-)

I just need to win the lottery. I see someone got my 68 million, so I'll have to settle for the 7 mil.

Darn.

But it might just be enough to buy a house with after taxes.
