the purple girls

That's what I think my little friend on the right is saying. The girls were very excited that they were all wearing a shade of purple. They gladly posed for the photo.

It was several years ago that I realized that while I was at my full time office job, there were people in my neighborhood and community hanging out all day with kids, spending a good chunk of time playing and just looking at the world. As strange as it seems, it was a revelation to me. I started to rethink why I wanted to spend my whole day in the office working.

Fishing for other things today and came across this. White House press briefing of October 17, 2005:

Q I'm wondering about your response to charges that you, Scott McClellan, were, in fact, spinning the media -- and as a result, the American public -- when you consistently said in the Valerie Plame case that Scooter Libby and Karl Rove had nothing to do with it, and continue to say that.

MR. McCLELLAN: I've already actually addressed this question. This is relating to an ongoing investigation.

Britain's Princess Diana dances with actor John Travolta at a White House dinner on November 9, 1985 (from WhiteHouse.gov photo gallery).

I found this picture today on the White House website, a favorite of mine. If you aren't familiar with its content, I suggest a visit. Always entertaining are Scott McClellan's press briefings.

Or perhaps Miller's Crassing....
