The Situation Room in the bowels of the White House is a place short on levity when the best diplomatic and military minds meet there to monitor or respond to threats throughout the world. Tuesday (11/27) the atmosphere got a whole lot looser and more enjoyable when Jimmy Buffett spent some time in the inner sanctum during a low-key visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. In DC for the ground breaking of a new educational center at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Buffett got an invite to drop in on the Joint Chiefs of Staff and get some hang time with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and a couple of dozen White House staffers. True to form and to everyone's amusement, Jimmy managed to point out the clock in the room proving it was indeed 5 O'clock somewhere at the time of his visit.
