This is the state of Washington journalism these days? Seriously, I thought journalists were moaning about closing their DC bureaus and stuff? From Time magazine:

The Obama Team’s Drink of Choice? Coke, Not Pepsi

Is Pepsi actually the choice of the Obama Administration? My reporting at the White House suggests the answer is a resounding no. Several senior Administration officials are committed cola drinkers, and without fail they spend their days sipping from a can of Diet Coke, a product of Pepsi’s chief competitor, Coca-Cola.

That’s just Part One of the in-depth investigative reporting on display here. From peering into recycling bins, to checking the availability at Andrews Air Force Base, Time reporter Michael Scherer’s perseverance knows no bounds.

That said, I’m a Coke man from way back. Good choice, Mr. President.

    Oh good. Although, to be honest, I was kind of halfway hoping it’d be RC or maybe Compliments Cola.
