Hillary Clinton will be going to the White House, after all.

At least for today. She's there to watch the current President sign into law a worthy bill she sponsored with Olympia Snowe and Bill Nelson to make sure 911 calls work better over new forms of phone line, like voice over the Internet.

And it seems that Clinton really has jumped back into her day job.

Today alone she announce $124,000 for the Wave Hill cultural center in The Bronx; she called on Budweiser buyer InBev to make sure it keeps running a beer can plant that employs 200 New Yorkers; she pushed for a renewable energy project in Delaware County, praised a higher education help group, and pushed the FDA to do a better job protecting us all from killer jalopenas.

Welcome back, Senator. We can occasionally be snarky over here, but you could never say Clinton doesn't work hard for New York.
