The president went to Nashville, Tennessee, today, to give a speech on his 2006 agenda.

He signed a proclamation in honor of American Heart Month.

There are pick up photos from last night of Associate Justice Alito's ceremonial swearing in, and from the president's State of the Union speech.

Welcome to Sanity Island!!!!!

QUOTES: (Today) "Our state of the union is strong. I say that because America is working hard to protect ourselves; we're spreading freedom; our economy is vigorous and strong, as well. ... Last night in my speech, I talked about a couple of themes, and one of the themes was that we must never lose sight of our capacity to lead this world toward peace, ... and we must never fear competition."

"A Supreme Court justice must meet the highest standard of legal excellence, while serving with humility and fidelity to our founding promise of equal justice under the law. These are qualities Americans want in a Supreme Court justice. These are qualities Americans see in Sam Alito. He will make a superb justice of the Supreme Court, and I know this son of New Jersey will make all Americans proud."

(Tuesday) "Mrs. King was a remarkable and courageous woman, and a great civil rights leader. She carried on the legacy of her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., including through her extraordinary work at the King Center. Mrs. King's lasting contributions to freedom and equality have made America a better and more compassionate nation."

I defy anyone to come up with one single picture for first place today! This next one could have also been atop the thread. But that would have made four in the top slot LOL.

These two men make one another's job a lot easier -- imagine if the dems had the Senate majority.
