In case you have both the interest and time to peruse what is reported to be 11,000 pages of daily schedules- you now can head on over to the William J. Clinton Presidential Library website and read them for yourselves!
I certainly approve of transparency from all candidates, so I am glad that these documents are being released. I just hope that people do not go overboard in the minutia- the fact that the information has been publicly released is actually far more important to me than what is in them (barring major skeletons).
So enjoy the blow by blow of our former First Lady’s schedule!
FYI- January alone is 1,616 pages long!

Kal Penn (actor from The Namesake, Harold and Kumar, 24, House, and much more) stopped by Blue State Coffee yesterday February 28th, 2008 to talk on behalf of Barack Obama. He spoke to a very packed house for about 15 minutes then gave a lengthy Q and A session.
It was great to hear him talk about how he was moved to take action as a citizen, not because he was a celebrity or and actor, but because he really cared about the message that Barack was bringing.
You can check out a 2 minute excerpt from his talk by clicking here.
FYI- President Clinton is giving a talk this afternoon in Providence, and tomorrow Obama will be holding a rally at RIC midday. It is neat to be in the political spotlight here in RI for a few days!
And please vote.
