She presided at the swearing-in of Janet Wells, town supervisor of New Castle (which includes Chappaqua) both times Wells was elected to that post. There's the citizenship induction she led as First Lady, the storytime for tots she held the day she picked up her public-library card, the reading from her memoirs. Earlier this year the Chappaqua School Foundation gave Hillary its inaugural "It Takes a Village" award (named after the senator...

I come from this working-class background - went to a state school, first in my family to graduate from college, didn't even stay in a dorm. We didn't have any money, but we're hardworking people. This is America. I think that I am America...
...Teddy Wayne, pledge to remain celibate for the upcoming year, and, given my track record, quite possibly even longer. I vow to uphold this pledge faithfully, unless a situation unexpectedly arises that imperils its execution, such as my friend Janet's birthday party this weekend, which I happen to know Molly Heinecker will attend, and that she just got dumped by her boyfriend and Janet tells me she's looking to rebound and make him jealous, plus the Evite promises an abundance of inhibition-releasing Jell-O shots, so, you know, I'm just saying...
