What would it be? Thousands of users of the popular website Reddit got the chance to do just that last week when Mr. Obama visited the site’s prominent “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) section. The President answered only around a dozen questions out of the more than 24,000 comments posted as of this writing over the…
On Sunday afternoon, another government official quietly, regretfully handed in a letter of resignation to his boss. That’s not very big news in itself; after all, stories pop up every now and then of a minor official stepping down because of some embarrassment, slip up, or something else that causes pressure to quit to come…

I'm sure most of you have heard about the gatecrashing at last week's state dinner by now, but now a Congressional committee is looking into it. The Salahis surely think that they'll gain even more attention by not appearing at the hearings, but why won't the social secretary? When will they ever learn...
