Laura, Babs, Poppy attending George W. Bush childhood home ceremonies
:puke:

The White House confirmed Friday that first lady Laura Bush will join former President George H.W. and Barbara Bush in Midland Tuesday for the dedication of the George W. Bush Childhood Home. The dedication is set for 2 p.m. Tuesday at 1412 W. Ohio Ave.

Although the former Lee High School graduate has returned to visit her mother, this will mark Laura Bush's first public appearance in Midland as first lady since the community gave the first couple a send-off before the 2001 inauguration.

"I'm delighted she was able to come," Canon said. "I know that this is an important event for their family. We'll roll out the red carpet. I hope she has a good time and good visit with her mother and enjoys the event which will be a great event for our community."

Canon said it doesn't surprise him the family is returning. "After all, George H.W. and Mrs. Bush lived there! They spent significant portion of their lives (and raised several children) right there in that house so I know they would have wanted to be here. I'm glad they have an opportunity to be here. I know this was something they wanted to do," Canon said.

1. Right alongside Vorstadt 219, Branau am Inn, Austria...
another monument to what can go wrong in the human psyche.

Unreal.

8. Yet more irony.
Is it just me or is it just a wee bit ironic that his "boyhood home" was at 1412 W. Ohio Ave.? I wonder if he ever lived at 666 Florida St.?

13. Time for some numerologist's input?
1412 Ohio Ave
14 + 12 = 26, 2 + 6 = 8
1+4+1+2 = 8

Dedication date 4/11 at 2 p.m.
4+11+ 2 = 17, 1+7= 8

Maybe it's not 666, but 888?
:smoke:

10. What FUN!
They can all relive old times and stand around watching Bush BLOW UP TOADS with M-80s, and pull the wings off of flies..

Then he can try to ride a Segwey again and land on his FACE ONE MORE TIME..

They need to DEDICATE HIS ASS over to Iraq and let him strap on a gun and play 'tough guy' in front of REAL MEN..

Loser, murderer.. IF anything they should have a big pile of SKULLS there in a pyramid like Attila the Hun would leave once he sacked a village...

12. I'd thought Childhood Home meant home for needy children.
I'm glad it doesn't, However badly off a child is, it would be worse off in a home with the Bush name on it.

Just look at how the people we know of who grew up in Bush homes have turned out.

16. You aren't going to believe what these idiots want to spend on this
project:
http://www.bushchildhoodhome.org/the_project.html

Fundraising Success
George W. Bush Childhood Home, Inc., the nonprofit entity that owns and will manage the Bush Childhood Home, passed the $1,000,000 mark in fundraising in June! This milestone is an exciting accomplishment for the organization and for the preservation of the Home. The goal is to raise $6,000,000 over the next three years to reach the Project goal of $7,000,000.


This is for a house restoration and a visitors' center, etc. I bet they get alot of people coming by to piss on it.

17. Why should Pickles need to leave the WH for that? The man never grew up.
Edited on Sun Apr-09-06 05:38 PM by Fridays Child
He's the same coked-up, frog-exploding, preppy fratboy sociopath that he was back in Midland.
