I have no idea what the captioned phrase means. Pleae help me.
Good Tuesday morning from Washington, where, a day after returning from Group of 7 meetings in Germany, President Obama will move his attention to defending his health care law, and where a senator clears time for blueberry muffins. And Jeb Bush begins his own Europe trip as he switches some job titles on his team.

Well, I had to find the article to see what the blueberry muffin teaser was all about. (That means the little mention of blueberry muffins to "tease" you into looking at the article to see what it meant.) If you search for "blueberry" in that article, you will find at the very bottom a big discussion of Senator Susan Collins and her love of cooking and food. Apparently she likes to make blueberry muffins.
"Clears time for" means "makes time available for" in case that was a problem. |
