Kal Penn joins White House staff!

This makes up for the Jon Favreau disappointment

I actually thought the guy from "Swingers" was going to be a White House speech writer. Oops.

Kal Penn is awesome. I love that the star of "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" is a vegetarian! (Michelle better watch out; he's going to be raiding her organic garden for all the freshest fruits & veggies.)

Save the Hawaiian monk seals!

That's exactly what Hawai`i's Congressional delegation is trying to do, as I recently reported:

Earmarks are good for Hawaiian monk seals (and other living things)

This morning's Honolulu Advertiser advances the story:

Congress allocates $5.7 million to help save Hawaiian monk seals; Federal funds will also provide jobs for ocean scientists

Something Tina Fey & Sarah Palin agree on

They both have disdain for vegans.

I was sort of enjoying Tina Fey's movie "Baby Mama" on HBO - until the gratuitous (and unfunny) scene in which she went out of her way to attack vegans.

Click.

Luckily, I switched to CNN right at the time President Obama's speech in Prague began. While he's not a vegan, he doesn't mock vegans, and he and his wife are seeking more progressive food policies.
