Looks like Education Secretary Margaret Spellings has a thing for pop culture -- specifically TV shows. Last fall, she appeared on Jeopardy!, where, in case you don't recall, she lost to one of the guys from Spinal Tap. Now she's slated to appear tonight on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, USA Today reports. And on top of that, Spellings also recently attended a taping of American Idol. Part of the explanation: She has daughters aged 20 and 15.

 

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
