My colleague just told me Rumsfeld just resigned, 5 minutes ago--we are on top of things here! 
Also a real live filibuster that happened yesterday in our Parliament too over the softwood lumber agreement--my this is an exciting time for us political junkies!
(That's it. I'll try to stay more on topic now).
I agree that it's an exciting time for political junkies.
I just received my Washington Post alert about Rumsfeld an hour ago, but I was on my way out to interpret a meeting so it cracked me up here to find that a Canadian announced it first over here. You really are on top of things. You guys seem to follow our politics far more closely than the way we follow yours for some reason. Why is that?
And here is a lovely Canadian article about Rumsfeld.
I'm quite delighted.
I love how they say he "resigned." Of course he was fired, but they can't call it that publicly because Bush insisted last week that Rumsfeld would be with him until the end. And then he met with Rumsfeld's replacement on Sunday before the election. Very interesting...
