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
