ODD WHITE HOUSE FURNISHINGS
A Copy of TV Guide on the Nightstand?

I've begun reading The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, by Barack Obama, and so far it's quite good: Sen. Obama is obviously a very thoughtful man and he writes with a great deal of civility, which no doubt will impress the punditocracy.

I haven't encountered any revelations or much about him I didn't already know. In fact, the most surprising thing I've learned so far is that there's a widescreen television set in the Lincoln Bedroom. You know, the famous one in the White House. He says so right there on page 44. Isn't that strange? Sen. Obama thinks it's weird too.
