Daily Update 05/09/2007
Hello and welcome to my page
Well it has been a very interesting month. The month of April brought me a Kidney stone and an appendectomy. Goodtimes! I'm feeling much better now so I'll start my updates again.
I am planning on posting daily things that I find interesting on the internet. I hope you enjoy these items as much as I do.Most topics posted on this page will be completely random. Just various stories and news tidbits I have discovered today.
My Favorite Featured Story
Brought to you by Yahoo
The queen had the last laugh. Dispensing with protocol briefly at the formal dinner she hosted for President Bush, QueenElizabeth said, "I wonder whether I should start this toast by saying, 'When I was here in 1776.'
The joke was at the expense of the president - the same president whose wife said he had to be talked into putting on themost formal dinner a White House can host - a white-tie affair.
Bush took it in stride, though, starting his toast by saying, "Your Majesty, I can't top that one."
Tuesday night's royal teasing contrasted sharply with the tightlipped, high-protocol, much-orchestrated style thatcharacterized the British monarch's six-day U.S. tour. It was in reaction to Bush's faux pas Monday after he formallygreeted the queen with trumpets, a 21-gun salute and a march by the Old Guard Fife & Drum Corp.
At one point in the South Lawn ceremony, Bush noted that the queen had dined with 10 U.S. presidents and had helped theUnited States "celebrate its bicentennial in 17 ... ." Bush caught himself and corrected the date to 1976." This broughtloud laughter from many in the invited audience of thousands.
A chagrined Bush deadpanned that the queen just "gave me a look that only a mother could give a child."
When asked Tuesday what she had told him, Bush deferred, perhaps deciding to keep it to himself. "Nah, she didn't sayanything," he told reporters.
The year 1776 cannot be a favorite year for the queen. It is the year when the monarch at the time of the American Revolution,George III, lost his richest colony.
At the Tuesday night dinner, the 81-year-old queen went on to toast her country's close relationship to the United States.
The queen concluded a rigorous schedule of events marked by frequent changes in dress and a series of colorful hats.
In Virginia, she visited Jamestown, America's first permanent English settlement, returning to a spot that she had seen asqueen in 1957, when Bush was not yet a teenager.
In Kentucky, she attended for the first time America's most famous derby, after countless scores of equestrian events athome in Britain.
In Maryland, she watched as astronauts told by video-link of their work aboard the International Space Station while shevisited NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
In Washington, she honored American soldiers at the National World War II Memorial, visited sick children at a hospital andstood graciously as the president started to suggest she had lived in the 18th century.
Viewpoint - The funny thing is that she was there in 1776.

TMZ has learned that Paris Hilton has switched attorneys in a desperate attempt to save her ass.
Hilton has jumped from famed criminal defense lawyer Howard Weitzman to famed DUI defense lawyer Richard Hutton. TMZspotted Hilton bawling as she drove away Hutton's office Tuesday afternoon, with mom Kathy driving -- and consoling --her daughter.
Hilton is in a true pickle and it seems she's throwing a Hail Mary by hiring Hutton, hoping she can convince the courts sheshouldn't serve 45 days in the pokey. This could be the most expensive DUI case ever.
Viewpoint - Poor Paris.
