I'm curious - how do the First Daughters get to school? Does the Secret Service take them? Is there a whole motorcade, or just one Chevy Suburban?

In the videos clips of their first day of school, it looked like a three-car motorcade, I think -- the girls and their mother in a van, with a car in front and behind. (This is just what I remember from the bits that I saw, though, and it could be different when it's not the first day.)

Yeah, I'm a little skeptical of anyone welcoming HRC with more than open arms there--not just open armed but on the ground crying the way they make it sound??...I mean, even if Condi wasn't the world's best boss, Hil as Savior takes a bit of mind twisting, I'm thinking.

Has Hilary always been like this, or is she channeling Obamna?

I suspect that among his skills we're going to find "bringing out the best in those around him".

All a reporter needs is one person to say X, Y, or Z. The reporter takes the quote and claims the whole organization feels the same way.

I just can't imagine four years without e-mail. I'm not a particularly high-tech sort, and it occurs to me that e-mail sent to and from an isolated server and moved elsewhere for archiving would be of minimal risk, and I'm sure some of y'all have better ideas.

Can't Cheney erase computers just by walking by them? I can see him saying "Are you sure there was a memo about that?" and then there'd be a flash and a whiff of sulphur

Lisa and Bob are so cute.

I’m gonna be asking a lot of you, I want you to think outside the proverbial box.

Dear NASA: Please send that damn box to Mars. Thank you.

Thanks Tom and Trudy. I had read the article in NYT, which was what prompted me to write. I guess I was just surprised at the weirdness of how quickly things went from published rumor to out-on-her-ass.
