Good morning, Caps! As the last day of a holiday week in Washington, it's what we like to call a "Slow News Day." But there's still just enough to keep the curious Capitolist busy. Here's what's happening...

All Day: The Virginia GOP holds its state convention, featuring *Mitt Romney*.

10:00 a.m.: Secretary of Education Arne Duncan speaks at the National Press Club about education reform.

11:00 a.m.: President Obama speaks about "securing our nation's infrastructure." We're not sure of that means keeping bridges safe from terrorists, or keeping bridges safe to drive across, but we'll watch and let you know.

UPDATE: Now we know -- it's the nation's "cyber infrastructure."

2:00 p.m.: First Lady Michelle Obama visits Bancroft Elementary School in D.C., where students run their own garden. It's also the school that's helping FLOTUS with the new White House Vegetable Garden.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
