Welcome to Sanity Island, where only adults are allowed.

President Bush Welcomed Prime Minister Clark of New Zealand to the White House and met with her in the Oval Office. The text of their remarks can be found HERE.

Today is the "traditional" FIRST DAY of SRING. In celebration of Spring, two photos from 2006.

Pink Laura Bush tulips bloom in the East Garden. The tulip was named in the First Lady’s honor April 22, 2004.

Miss Beazley and Barney tip toe through the tulips in the East Garden of the White House.

PRESS BRIEFING BY TONY SNOW TODAY. IT'S A MUST READ. Tony is a saint and a very smart one too.

Quote of the Day

MR. SNOW: A couple of things. First, keep in -- this is not a hearing, it's not a trial, it's an interview. The second thing is that there are going to be plenty of members there who are going to be able to listen to what administration official -- White House officials have to say. And there are going to be plenty of different ways for people to cross-reference. The real question is -- and what you've hinted at a little bit here, Bret, is a fundamental decision members of Congress are going to have to make -- do you want to get at the truth, or do you want to create a political spectacle? Those are the options that are laid out.

What we think is possible is that we've come up with what we think is an amicable and respectful way to enable the House and Senate, in their oversight responsibilities, to get access to everything they need to understand fully the process that led to a decision to replace eight U.S. attorneys.

Q This is the final offer? This is it?

MR. SNOW: Yes.

tallulah.

[Miss Marple]

New Zealanders need to take a good look at these pics. Clark looks like a guy next to Condi, plus she has obviously made NO effort to make herself presentable...probably thinking that if you look nice you can't be "serious."

One of the first things I told my very smart, near genius granddaughter is that one can wear nice clothes AND be smart. I hate the idea that if you are really intelligent then you don't have time to mess with looking presentable. Especially for women.

Plus a smart, beautiful woman is like a Stealth Bomber. HA!
