    Penelope Trunk -- isn't she the one who stalked a guy about some comment he made and posted all about it on her blog? Real class act.

    No, because you read Twitter so that I don't have to. Thanks!

    Am I the only one who feels like this headline is overly sensational? We're talking about something worth less than $300 when he was in college. Gve me a break. He's accomplished so much since then and he's held previous government positions. I would assume the White House knew and chose to proceed with his appointment anyway because he's qualified for the job - and isn't that what should matter? Also, if memory serves correctly, wasn't our last president convicted of a DUI?

    Problem is, while we were all discussing this, he JUST STOLE ALL THE WHITE HOUSE COMPUTERS.

    The third, more obvious, and likely correct scenario is that a PBJ is like an ACD in New York State (hello, Sheila!). If you get an ACD, you can answer "no" to a 'have you ever been convicted of a crime' question and it probably doesn't turn up in standard searches. And vetting forms probably don't ask "Have you ever been arrested?" (it wouldn't ask specifically for an PBJ, since each state probably has a different version).


    Maryland complicates this with the J instead of the D, which would make this seem less breathless.

    In reply to Barack Obama's CIO a Confessed Thief
    Sorry, but, not knowing the details, I'm gonna assume that whatever he did was probably something trifling that most people would not consider a big deal.


    He was only 21 years old at the time, and the crime is petty theft. The item worth "less than $300" could be a garden gnome he swiped off of somebody's lawn after drinking at a college party.


    That's my guess ... this was an act of youthful vandalism, probably with some drinking involved. I'm not saying such behavior is a good thing, but it certainly isn't enough to disqualify someone from U.S. being CIO, in my view.

    Unless I'm getting my math wrong, 22 is pretty old to chalk it up to youthful indiscretion.

    @MisterHippity: Note also that age 21 + month of June = college graduation time for many folks.


    I'm guessing that he'd finished all his classes and was partying with his college chums the night before the graduation ceremony. It would not surprise me if the item stolen was from a rival fraternity house.

    "Lawyers routinely tell their clients who receive a PBJ that they can legally state that they have not been convicted of a crime."


    Also, choosy lawyers tell clients to choose Jif.

    I want Ana Marie Cox's job. Apparently all she does is drink and go to parties and occasionally poop out a paragraph or two of incomprehensible dreck for her editors. Nice work if you can get it and she doesn't have nearly the overhead in hideous pink clothes and Pilates classes that Julia Allison does.
