Over at New York, Noreen Malone provides us with "A Brief History of Teenage First Daughters." Why not teenage first sons? Well, oddly enough, there haven't been enough in recent years to bother with. Here's a list of all the teenagers to inhabit the White House in the postwar era:

• Malia Obama (Sasha will join the ranks if Dad gets reelected)
• Barbara and Jenna Bush (barely!)
• Chelsea Clinton
• Amy Carter
• Susan and Steven Ford
• Luci and Lynda Bird Johnson

Weird. Steven Ford is the only male child on the list. You have to go back to FDR to find a couple more. I blame humorless feminists for this indefensibly one-sided state of affairs.
