News Item of the Day: The Secret Service does a hell of a job but do they have some jokers among their ranks? Everyone knows about Air Force One and some people are aware that the presidential helicopter is known as Marine One but this was completely new to me.

I was reading a news article in the P-D this morning about President Bush returning home from Pakistan. The end of the news item had this paragraph "By about 8:30 am, Bush was home and changing into his cycling gear. About 20 minutes later, the motorcade rolled to the Secret Service facility where Bush rides Mountain Bike One."

Mountain Bike One??? They must be kidding.
