News Item: Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to resign
Longtime readers may remember my starting a pool, in the spring of '07, over who would be gone first: Olmert, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, or Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. Wolfowitz was whacked a month later (the day before my wedding, in fact); Mr. I Don't Recall departed three months later, Olmert lasted until today, and Charlie is of course still plugging away as Phils skipper.
