Personal Penguin! Argh!!!

I saw the “Personal Penguin” song mentioned on Paul Jones’s blog today but resisted the urge to click on it. Later I read the N&O blog and fell into the trap when David Menconi mentioned it. Now I’m hooked. I found myself walking around the office with the song stuck in my head!

Please, whatever you do, don’t go to Sandra Boynton’s website and click on the MP3 link. You’ll find yourself wanting to be a personal penguin before you know it.

(Sandra writes some of the best childrens’ books out there, by the way.)

A Post-Election Bonus: Rumsfeld Leaving!

Heckuva job, Rummy!

What’s ironic is that after the attacks of September 11th, I actually sent him an email telling him how happy I was that he was SecDef during this troubled time. Boy how quickly my opinion changed.

Now the question is who will take his place?

[Update]: Bush is nominating former CIA chief Robert Gates. Looks like a winner to me.

I’m glad Bush waited until after the election to fire …er, accept the resignation of Rummy. I don’t think the Democratic victory would have been nearly as decisive if Bush had made the move a week or two ago.
