Bush in Yurp.

The following is a statement from the Press Secretary of the United States:

The President and Mrs. Bush will travel to Europe from June 9 to June 16, 2008, to strengthen the trans-Atlantic partnership and to celebrate the enduring friendship between our nations based on shared democratic values. The President and Mrs. Bush's visit will also commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Marshall Plan and the Berlin Airlift, underscoring the historic and continuing U.S. role in supporting a Europe increasingly whole, free, and at peace. The President will begin his trip by participating in the annual U.S.-European Union (EU) Summit in Slovenia. Following the Summit, the President and Mrs. Bush will visit Germany, Italy, the Holy See, France, and the United Kingdom.

What it does not say is that my sister is going with! She'll be accompanying the advance team to Germany. The last time she did this, in Africa, she got to fly home on Air Force One, and even call her brother from the air. I answered the phone and Secret Service asked if I would hold for Lauren Seely. Cool.

By the way, I like President Bush as a dude. So, I am not condoning his portrayal as a shoe-less missing link, as he is portrayed here in The Gaurdian (UK), but I love listening to him talk and I do condone the U.S. president having a light sabre.

The quotable Carson.

In honor of Carson Smith getting married to Sarah Earley this weekend, I would like to present some of my favorite Carson sayings from the time I've known him. Please, feel free to submit your own in the comments section.

The profound:
You can lead a horse to water but don't look him in the mouth; it's a gift.
Eloquence equals elephant, and I am no elephant.

The absurd:
Hey, "Vanilla Obstruction" is a cool name for a band. Admit it!
My mind and soul are sizzling with mysterious delight!
Bring on the voluptious vixens because I'm smelling spicy!

The personal:
Seels, you still wear Mossimo.

And finally, my favorite...
If this is living, I don't want to be right!
