2 days agoThe Crazy-Making Destruction of the East Wing of the White House
Nora and I got to show up at the gorgeous East Wing entrance, where millions of official guests and ordinary Americans over the decades have gotten a chance to visit "the people's house." I'm not easily awed, but this was awesome. We were greeted by animatronic versions of President Obama's dogs, Bo and Sunny, umpteen gorgeously decorated Christmas trees along the paneled walls of the visitors' lobby, and decorations on the theme of "A Child's Vision of Christmas." Bo and Sunny cookies were served.
