Mansion Family
Original Airdate on FOX: 23-Jan-2000
% The city of Springfield celebrates excellence within its ranks with
% the Springfield Pride Awards. The event has drawn most of the town
% to the Civic Arena. Tonight's emcees are local news anchor Kent
% Brockman, and pop singer Britney Spears. Judging by audience
% applause, Britney's the one who has captured the crowd's enthusiasm.
%
% Homer is confident that this is his year. Marge is more doubtful,
% recalling the pre-award buzz about Lenny.
Kent: Our first Springfield Pride Award goes to a local legend. A man who brings laughter and joy to the children of Springfield.
Homer: [gasps in anticipation]
Britney: With his big red nose and his baggy pants ... [Homer stands up]
Kent: ... Krusty the Clown!
Krusty: [gets up, blocking our view of Homer] Hey, hey!
Homer: What?! [tries to sit back down, but a young man in a tuxedo already occupies his seat] Who are you?
Man: Seat filler. [dejected, Homer sits down in the aisle. The seat filler puts his arm around Marge]
-- "The Mansion Family"
% As the night wears on, everyone in the auditorium has collected an
% award. That is, everyone except Homer.
Homer: Everyone gets an award but me.
Marge: I can't help it if I donated the most blood. Ohh, but I'm feeling kind of woozy. [passes out. Homer reaches for her award, but she rouses herself in time to slap away his hand]
Homer: Oh, why won't anyone give me an award?
Lisa: You won a Grammy.
Homer: I mean an award that's worth winning. ["award show"-style music plays while a disclaimer scrolls by on the screen, reading, "LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Mr. Simpson's opinions does not reflect those of the producers, who don't consider the Grammy an award at all."]
-- With that attitude, you'll never win one, "The Mansion Family"
% The awards continue.
Britney: You know, Kent, in today's youth-obsessed culture, we sometimes forget that older people are still alive. [cut to Abe, who is arguing with the seat-filler]
Abe: I told ya!
Man: [not too apologetic] Well, Sor-ry! [leaves] [back to Britney and Kent]
Kent: And that's why our final award honors a man who's lived in Springfield for 108 years -- our oldest resident, Cornelius Chapman. [applause. A film showing highlights of Mr. Chapman's life begins to play]
Britney: Cornelius Chapman built the first log cabin in Springfield, and introduced the toothbrush to our fair city. [the film shows residents of the town pondering this new invention, and then using it. They smile widely]
Kent: For years, he was Springfield's only basketball player, but he still managed to entertain the crowd. [Chapman dribbles the ball, and tries a pass, but there's no one there to catch it]
Britney: In the market crash of 1929, he helped people jump out of windows to avoid disgrace. [the film shows Chapman doing just that]
Chapman: [on film] You're doing the right thing. Oh, oh, out you go! [a heavyset man appears at the window] My, you're a big one. No, no, no ... no turning back now. [the heavyset man jumps]

Bush makes campaign official / Texas governor takes `compassionate conservatism' to key state of Iowa
CLAY ROBISON, JOHN C. HENRY Staff
SUN 06/13/1999
Houston Chronicle
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Dropping all pretenses about his White House ambitions, Texas Gov. George W. Bush said Saturday that he is running for president - "there's no turning back" - and that he intends to win.
A seemingly relaxed Bush, wearing black boots and a Texas-style belt buckle with his business suit, hit the ground in full stride on his first visit to this key caucus state.
He announced his intentions first to a crowd at the Cedar Rapids airport, only moments after stepping off his chartered airliner from Austin to rousing movie theme songs and rock music, and then to a luncheon audience in nearby Amana.
Although Bush has been considered the front-runner for the Republican nomination for months and was widely believed to be running, he officially was still only at the exploratory stage when he left home early Saturday on the plane he has dubbed "Great Expectations" for his first campaign swing outside Texas.
"I'm running for president. There's no turning back, and I intend to be the next president of the United States," he told about a thousand people

Address to the Nation on Iraq
March 19, 2003
My fellow citizens, at this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from grave danger.
On my orders, coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein's ability to wage war. These are opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign.
Note: The President spoke at 10:16 p.m. from the Oval Office at the White House.

Kay McFadden / Times staff columnist
The media got it fast, got it right
It may not have been the "shock-and-awe" show promised by United States forces poised to invade Iraq.
But to anyone watching television, the swiftness with which yesterday's airstrike in Baghdad was executed, disseminated and explained was a heck of a dress rehearsal.
The White House and news organizations worked in well-oiled tandem. The time elapsed from when the bombing run took place to when anchors were correctly summarizing it — barely a half-hour — gave new meaning to the concept of a fast news cycle.
News that air-raid sirens were sounding over Baghdad broke at 6:37 p.m. Pacific Standard Time and 5:37 a.m. in Iraq.
By 6:41 p.m., CNN's senior Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntyre had determined that it probably was not. Almost simultaneously, the White House said spokesman Ari Fleischer would make a brief statement.
One minute later — that's five minutes after explosions sounded over Baghdad — Fleischer appeared on camera to announce, "The opening stages of the disarmament of the Iraqi regime have begun" and that the president would speak at 10:15 p.m. (7:15 PST).
