The appearance before reporters marked the eighth time since taking office that Bush has fielded questions at a formal news conference, and the first time since American and British forces invaded Iraq last March.
By comparison, Bill Clinton had held 33 formal news conferences at a comparable point in his administration; Bush’s father, former President George H.W. Bush, had 61.
Just came across this less-than-flattering review of King’s X - Black Like Sunday. While I still enjoy spinning the album quite a bit I can’t help but agree with the reviewer’s dis on the quality of the band’s recent CD offerings. There simply hasn’t been a “classic” King’s X song since Earcandy. You’d think they might have noticed by now.
So I went to the new Tampa Guitar Center’s grand opening music extravaganzer and all I got was this lousy T-shirt (seen wadded up in my left hand).
I jest, of course: it’s a great little toystore to romp around in and the Hawaiian Tropic girls were really good sports about having their picture taken even after they’d been on their feet catering to us nerds all evening. Bring it on!
It has to be said: sports are eminently photogenic: The thrill of victory! the agony of defeat! Few people have done more to convince me of this than my obscenely talented friend Wendy. Have a look at her incredible ice hockey photography.
