Everything in this video is utterly true and totally a spoiler for season two of Leverage. Really. Especially the zombie alien babies and Eliot fighting a bear. *nods*
Usage has set apart certain days when the ladies of the households of receiving officials are "at home." The designation of certain days for certain classes of officials, was adopted as a matter of convenience to the public, and to give the lady of the house time to attend to her own social duties on other days, without interruption or disappointment to her friends. The Rule for days "at home" now in vogue is:
Mondays: ladies of the families of the Justices of the Supreme Court & "Capitol Hill" Tuesdays: ladies of the families of The Speaker, Representatives and General of the Army Wednesdays: ladies of the families of the Members of the Cabinet Thursdays: ladies of the families of the Vice-President and Senators Fridays: ladies of the "West End" or fashionable quarter of the city in and out of official life Saturdays: the Drawing Rooms of the Presiding Lady of the Executive Mansion

I spent the rest of the flight sleeping and watching TV (The Rachel Maddow Show, Burn Notice, Law & Order: Criminal Intent).
