Common, Amos, the Ranch has more communications than the rest of the county it's in combined. Haven't you seen the conference room with the three sets of teleconferencing equipment? Don't you know about the politicians and foreign dignitaries who are brought to the ranch for imformal arm twisting? There's someone there all the time.

Have you forgotten that everyone in DC takes August off? Except the President who only changes where he works. Ever hear of Camp David? Eisenhower spent a huge proportion of his presidency running the country from there. There's no difference.
