No more Rum(sfeld)

After six crappy, demoralizing and devastating years at the Pentagon, "President" Bush has just announced that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has resigned and that he is nominating former CIA head Robert Gates to replace Rumsfeld.

Gates, by the way, has had more than his share of troubled nominations, such as his first time around when he couldn't get confirmed as CIA Director because of a myriad of questions about his role in the Iran-Contra Affair.

Ya know... I've been thinking that Christmas was starting early this year... and now I'm sure!
