President Bush signed a $70 billion tax-cut package, and honored the 2006 United States Winter Olympic and Paralympics Teams, both events being held on the South Lawn at the White House.

Defense Secretary Rumsfeld testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee. Some details here; note bias in article title.

There are some late photos from last evening's dinner that the president and first lady hosted for Australia's Prime Minister, John Howard, and his wife, Janette.

Tony Snow's press briefing today (transcript and video).

Welcome to Sanity Island!

QUOTE:"Our pro-growth policies stand in stark contrast to those in Washington who believe you grow your economy by raising taxes and centralizing power. They are wrong. Our pro-growth economic policies are working for all Americans."

To the athletes: "Thanks for creating so many lasting memories for the American people. We love our athletes. We follow your successes. We love it when the "Star Spangled Banner" is played. We also understand that not everybody is going to win the Gold, but we appreciate so much the fact that you competed so hard and in such a way that brought honor to our country."
