Steve Clemons’ post about the rumors preceding the naming of the new White House Social Secretary is a great read. It shows just how much speculation and good old-fashioned gossip helps run this fine city of ours.
The news around the appointment was a good chance for some civics refreshers with a few friends who asked me about the position, what is does, why it matters, etc. One of them sent me a primer from WiseGeek that laid out the history with links to some useful background.
For whatever it’s worth, Steve, I am sure plenty of folks already think you have the “Congeniality” title! It’s great to live in a town that values it.
