And Donald Rumsfeld "steps down" as SecDef.  Goodbye to the cult of personality that the Commander-in-Chimp has relied on since he was installed in 2001.

Virginia's Senate race is still undecided.  The Dem challenger has 7000 more votes than the Repug incumbent;  I don't think there's really any significant difference in the two, but I'll take one more Dem in the Senate any day.

I don't think I've shared this week's crazy work-related saga.  A woman's cat died, after at least 18 years of companionship.  She ran an ad in our Celebrations section - you know, where normal people announce engagements, weddings, anniversaries.  In addition, she bought 2 or 3 ads in this week's run - color ads, no less.  Something like $2500 in ads to memorialize Patches the cat.  Plus, she had a graveside service at her home for the cat.  Complete with a big tombstone.  Today, the craziness thickened - we find out that she tried to place an actual obituary for the cat, and spoke to either Kerr Brothers or Milward about conducting a full-on funeral.  She was turned down on both occasions, and apparently crushed to the point of sobbing and pleading.  The picture she provided to us for the ads shows the cat wearing a leash.  As it was 18 years old, one of my co-workers voiced the opinion that the cat just suicided, as it couldn't take it any more.
