Truth is stranger than fiction.

I get to tour Marine One, the President's helicopter, today. A relative of mine is a pilot for Marine One, and has been since Clinton was in office. He and the helicopter are in Minneapolis today, so the family got an invite to have a little looksee.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't stoked about it.

The most amusing part, to me, are the people going: There's me...and well, you know how I am. There's my uncle, who works for the Democrats in the Minnesota legislature. There's his wife, who was born and raised in Iran. My grandmother's pretty liberal as well. We're about the most unlikely group of people to set foot in Dubya's Presidential Transportation. I have a feeling I'm going to be giggling to myself a lot.

Cameras are allowed....so I'll have some pictures later, most likely.
