Does that help?

Well, I was hoping to get names. *g*

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush likes to drop a few words of Spanish in his speeches and act like he's proficient in the language. But he's really not that good, his spokesman said Thursday.

''The president can speak Spanish but not that well,'' White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. ''He's not that good with his Spanish.''

McClellan's comment was noticeable because presidential press secretaries usually boast about a president's ability rather than talk about any shortcomings. McClellan is in the last days of his job, leaving the White House next week.

McClellan made his remark in response to a report that Bush had sung the Star-Spangled Banner in Spanish during the 2000 campaign. Just last week Bush said the national anthem should be sung in English, not Spanish.

''It's absurd,'' McClellan said of the report, suggesting that Bush couldn't have sung it in Spanish even if he had wanted to.

Um...okay. When you get to the point that you have to defend the president by calling him incompetent...

This niece?

That's Donatella's daughter, Gianni's niece.

Anyone else reminded of Peggy Hill on the stand in Mexico?

Okay:

Lost Michael comes back and kills Ana and Libby and then shoots himself.

Alias Sloan accidentally kills Nadia and Faux Sydney kills Renee Rien.

Hmmm, these may not be all that helpful if you haven't watched the current season at all.

If you have to work on an Israeli schedule, does that mean you got to at least have some sort of Independence Day celebrations yesterday? Fireworks in the office? Lots of food? Some more food, because the former "lots" wasn't enough?

Nilly, my school had a heckuva celebration yesterday. Dance! Singing! Free fallafels!

Plei, the people don't know what you mean by spoilers.

Lost

Michael killed Ana Lucia and Libby. Shot 'em in cold blood. Henry had tried to kill A.L. So A.L. tried to get a gun from Sawyer. When he wouldn't listen to reason, she rode him like an angry pony and absconded with the gun, after they were getting dressed. She went to kill Henry, but couldn't. Michael was in the hatch. He said he could do it because the others are animals, yada yada. Then instead of killing Henry, he shot A.L. Libby walked in. He shot her. I think he apologized to both of them before the shootings. He then went into Henry's cell. Henry rose and they exchanged a look. Michael then shot himself. From the angle of the blast, there's a possibility he just shot himself in the arm, or he could have shot himself in the heart.

Fade to black.

Whew.
