		<description><![CDATA[Yes folks, I&#8217;m not making this up.

Today is National Bundt Day.  The good folks at Nordic Ware, makers of the Bundt Pan, assure us of this and add proof by way of a photo&#8230;of a framed proclamation signed by the Governor of Minnesota:


Of course, this begs the question:  Since when does a Governor have [...]]]></description>

Hehehehehehehe&#8230;.
Stay tuned.

I&#8217;m referring to Alexander Hamilton.
In a desperate attempt to force myself to write a post, I scanned my list of labels for inspiration, and my eye fell on ol&#8217; AH. So, purely for giggles, I checked his name on Google News.

So, as &#8220;Music Managers&#8221; go, I have two. iTunes for my iPod and Rhapsody for my cell phone.
I&#8217;ve discovered that the &#8220;Random Shuffles&#8221; on them are decidedly not random. These things are posessed. Now, I have the SAME music on BOTH of them &#8211; the entire library is identical. Should be random draws, right?
