For Better or Worse, The Whitehouse PR Trumpet Is Going To Start Blogging

That's right. In the odd chance that you were paying attention to what was happening in New Hampshire instead of what the Whitehouse is doing. Get this:
One note. As we leave for the Middle East trip today, we will begin posting periodic updates from the senior staff that's traveling with the President on a website -- on our website, whitehouse.gov. It will be called "Trip Notes from the Middle East." This is new to us. We encourage you to log on and to check back often to read some of the updates that the staff will be posting throughout the trip. So it will be just a little bit of a blog.
Those of us who have been blogging for a long while (dinosaurs I might qualify us as) can see through the veneer of what this really is.

So, for fun, I thought I'd have a little game. Let's call this....drum roll please...

...another venue for the NSA to secretly surveil US citizens without a warrant.
....your turn...
