Photographers line the path. Cameras roll. Flashbulbs pop. The guest of honor arrives. Photographers crowd around to get the perfect shot.
In Hollywood, you would see Angelina Jolie next. In D.C., you see a palette of boxes containing the president's budget. Wow, I think this says something about us.
FishBowl DC posted this astute description of the arrival of the president's budget on Monday.
And this C-SPAN video of, yes, BOXES ROLLING DOWN A HALLWAY. It gets a little long, but I recommend checking out the last minute or so in which the boxes are opened (*flash, flash, flash*) and a copy of the budget is pulled out and placed on a table (*flash flash, flash, flash*). You can't find this sort of excitement about paper just anywhere.

I was riveted! Absolutely riveted! Such drama, such emotion. As exciting as the presentation on the annual Diocese of Belleville financial report...except that doesn't use an electric pallet mover. Now I know what to suggest to our diocesan CFO to make his presentation more exciting; BOXES on moving equipment!
