Quiet class!

So we're neatly moved into our new digs at the White House Conference Center across the street from the White House. The booths and furniture are squeaky clean -- give it a week or so though - the space is a millimeter or so larger than our previous home, but there are some problems.

The briefing room where Press Secretary Tony Snow does his daily session with reporters is slightly bigger, but acoustically it's noisier. So today -- twice during his Q&A -- Snow abruptly stopped in mid-sentence, gazed to the back of the room toward the area where camera crews are positioned, and above the banter asked, "Guys, can you hold it down?"

Nothing was said about points off for lack of class participation.
