I discuss the theoretical implications of the WMAP results, stressing WMAP'sdetection of a correlation between the E-mode polarization and temperatureanisotropies, which provides strong support for the overall inflationaryparadigm. I point out that almost all inflationary models have a ``vanillalimit,'' where their parameters cannot be distinguished from a genuinely deSitter inflationary phase. Because its findings are consistent with vanillainflation, WMAP cannot exclude entire classes of inflationary models. Finally,I summarize hints in the current dataset that the CMB contains relics of newphysics, and the possibility that we can use observational data to reconstructthe inflaton potential.Comment: 10 pages, based on paper delivered at CIPANP 200
