A weblog that catalogs what's shaping the thinking at the DSB Policy Institute.

A clip from today's NYT's article entitled White House Letter: It's 10 O'Clock. Do You Know Where Your President Is? In Bed: "To break it down further, the president is generally awake by 5 a.m., when he has coffee and reads the newspapers in bed with his wife. By 7 a.m. he is in the Oval Office, where he makes calls, often to leaders overseas or his parents, before his national security briefing at 8. For the rest of the day, Mr. Bush is in more meetings - with the National Security Council, his campaign staff, his domestic policy staff, his speechwriters. He often eats a lunch of salad alone while he channel-surfs in a small dining room off the Oval Office. He exercises in the White House gym, usually in the late morning or early evening. Either way, he's back at the residence around 6 for dinner at 7. The teetotaling president retires around 9 p.m., even when he has guests, and takes to bed a giant briefing book to read as preparation for the following day. Lights are out at 10."

....And then Clinton sneaks in the backdoor and gets the kegerator going.
