– Minnesota Recount: Al Franken is the likely winner now.

– Caroline Kennedy Watch: she sees now that not all of New York lives in the five boroughs.

– In the Navy: William White, an openly gay man, is being considered as the next Secretary of the Navy by the Obama transition team. That might take a bit of the sting out of the Rick Warren issue.

– More Cabinetry: Rep. Hilda Solis (D-CA) to be the Labor Secretary, Mary Schapiro to head the SEC, and former Dallas mayor Ron Kirk to be the trade rep.

– Final Jeopardy: Minstrel Hussain Boy made it through his second round of Jeopardy! and got the right answer in the final round, only to lose to Milt by $201. It was still a heck of a run, and that’s going to provide for a lot of truffles and goodness.

– W. Mark Felt, the “Deep Throat” from Watergate, dies at 95.

– Majel Barrett Roddenberry, widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, and Nurse Chapel (TOS*), Lwaxana Troi (TNG*), and the voice of the computer (TNG, DS9*, VOY*), dies at 76.
