I'm a devotee of The Independent 
Online these days of course http://www.independent.co.uk/
I've just noticed that along the secondary menu bar; in amongst "World", "UK" and "Environment" is a drop-down named "White House".
How 
is that?

Ouch! ... and on the topic of the President Elect and his new (possible) Secretary of State: the Indy reports
>>In negotiations with Mr Obama this week before agreeing to take the job, she demanded and received assurances that she alone should appoint staff to the State Department. She also got assurances that she will have direct access to the President and will not have to go through his foreign policy advisers on the National Security Council, which is where many of her critics in the Obama team are expected to end up.<<
That sort of stuff makes me glad she didn't get the nomination. It means that there's the potential for a Clinton Fiefdom in the making
