We're constitutionally disinclined from mentioning Clay Aiken twice in a week, much less twice in a single morning, but a reader forwarded this screenshot showing how Aiken's hometown paper's website chose to celebrate the news that the President gave their favorite local boy his first real job, which we are far, far too weak not to share. Try to resist beaming right along with the special little guy as it's explained to him that he's going to go on a field trip to the White House!

i thought the gay weatherman dealing witht the cockroach over on gawker today was my lil' slice of heaven today. but no. this is it.
thank you mark and seth. thank you.
There's so much to appreciate here.
Is it the "for People with Intellectual Disabilities" byline with that thrown-in-the-towel expression on his redneck face? Or might it be, perhaps, the careful addition of lipstick from an unseen assistant, as his hometown paper takes a dig at his closeted sexuality?
You were right in sharing this one. It's lovely.
Whoever chose that photo is not a Claymate. And I love them so so so much more for it.
Clay's excited, because after the whitehouse they're going to go to a baseball game and then to the national zoo!!
When I saw that picture, I knew I'd seen that face before. Barbaro!
