Former FBI official W. Mark Felt, aka "Deep Throat," the Watergate scandal's key informant died at the age of 95. He's an interesting figure in and of himself. Not only was he key in bringing Nixon down, he was convicted himself of authorizing illegal means of pursuit of the Weather Underground. And anyone who lives 95 years has necessarily seen a lot of history. Perhaps he needs a movie of his own.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama announced his pick for Labor secretary yesterday. Hilda Solis, currently a House Representative from California will take the daunting job. Solis was rumored to have been in line to take the gavel from Nancy Pelosi someday, and puzzled colleagues when she agreed to leave the House for the new Executive administration. Hey, she's the daughter of a teamster. What else is a girl to do? We wish her well.
