Vice President-Elect Joe Biden, interviewed in today's New York Times.I've been a little concerned that our new executive team might be feeling a surge of unseemly hubris. So I was encouraged to receive this message from the Obama/Biden transition team yesterday:

We wanted to tell you about a new feature on Change.gov which lets you bring your ideas directly to the President. It's called the Citizen's Briefing Book, and it's an online forum where you can share your ideas, and rate or offer comments on the ideas of others.
...after the Inauguration, we'll print them out and gather them into a binder like the ones the President receives every day from experts and advisors....your idea could be included in the Citizen's Briefing Book to be delivered to President Obama.

Ah, note the memo doesn't say what the Citizens Briefing Book will be used for. My guess is that the President and his team will whip it out at Thursday happy hours. Then they'll laugh uncontrollably at the citizen-buffoons.
At least that's what I'll do when I become Presidentress.
(Incidentally, my word verification word is "diumbra", which I think must mean "two shadows.")
