It would be preposterous to suggest that President Barack Obama or any of his minions monitor the Maryland Politics blog.
So we'll simply chalk it up to coincidence that Obama, in line with a suggestion made here, has given Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland a coveted seat on Air Force One for the flight to the Polish president's funeral this weekend.
An official announcement is expected soon from the crew at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., which has never charged extra for checked luggage or carry-on bags.
