Posted by: BookGirl on: June 22, 2009
It must be tough living in the Governor’s mansion during a recession.

I approve.

The Briz finally had her baby. The little boy, named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, was born on Sunday. He weighed 7 lbs and 4 oz.

– The National Portrait gallery will be exhibiting the paintings of George W. Bush and his wife, Laura. Her image emminates class, his … idiocy. I will always wonder how Laura made that marriage work. To learn more and to see Bush’s portrait, click HERE.
