Obama girls pick Sidwell Friends

It's decided. The AP reports Sasha and Malia Obama will attend Sidwell Friends School, a private Quaker school in northwest DC. I'm wondering what my Quaker friends would think of this. The two girls wouldn't be the first president's children to attend Sidwell; Chelsea Clinton went there when her father was in the White House. Perhaps the Quaker peace testimony will wear off onto the president. But then again, the school would have to have some sort of security for the girls--armed Secret Service agents even? In any event, one Sidwell board member told the press the Obama girls would "be a great addition to the school." Go Quakers! Go Obamas!

    Hey, Travis. I started posting a response on yr blog, but then realized I had enough to say (far too much, really) that I should just post on my own. So Pizza King Watch has a new post for the first time in months:
