21. here's a link to the article & some snips
WaPo on Laura Bush's campaign tour:

~snip~

" . . . there's still Iowa left to go before Mrs. Bush wraps up her two-day tour of scripted sweetness and devotion to George W. Bush -- in other words, her "I'm Not Teresa Tour.""

~snip~

"'Back four years ago, I always got the question, "Are you going to be like Hillary Clinton or Barbara Bush?"' Mrs. Bush says, waving out the window to a group of supporters holding signs that read 'W stands for Women.'"

~snip~

"'I prefer Laura to someone who can say "shove it" in five different languages,' says Patricia Ott, of Southampton, Pa. She is holding a homemade 'Laura Is a Lady' sign Monday outside the Sheraton in Langhorne, Pa., where Mrs. Bush just accepted the endorsement of the Pennsylvania Medical Society's political action committee on behalf of her husband."

~snip~

"In Langhorne, Mrs. Bush comes as close as she ever will to making political waves. On the three-year anniversary of her husband's decision to ban federal funding for research on new lines of stem cells, Mrs. Bush says that opponents of the president's policy are giving 'false hope' to people whose loved ones are suffering from diseases that could conceivably be cured with help from studying such cells. She is interrupted several times by applause from the crowd of 300 medical professionals, several of whom wear white lab coats even though they're in a Sheraton function room."

~snip~

On the one hand, Laura Bush has the right idea: in a presidential campaign, a first lady ought merely to represent her husband the president.

On the other hand, the fact that this woman is lending what could be a fine mind to pushing faith over science and other abhorrent aspects of the Bush Administration is incomprehensible.

Mrs. Bush, you're no Eleanor Roosevelt.

22. I like cabbage
In all different manner of serving it: slaw, sauerkraut, kapusta (sp?), boiled dinner....

I think it has a very mild flavor.

Watch out for the gas.

17. I have a roommate
I like her, but we'd be better friends again if we weren't roommates. I can't afford to have my own place in NYC though. Even the rent for studios is too high for my salary. :(
