Delsman Rumsfeld? 

I have a question: Why are millions of people Googling "Delsman" and "Rumsfeld" in various sequences and formations? Would one of you who is hitting my site with this strange query please leave a comment explaining your interest?

UPDATE (from Dublin, 7-29-04, 11:05 pm Dublin time): Thanks to an anonymous commenter, I now know why forty people a day have been hitting my site with the Google search "Delsman Rumsfeld" and variations on that theme. It seems that the Onion is running a "story" about Donald Rumsfeld springing to the defense of his "fat girlfriend," one Mavis Delsman. Heh.

But why, pray tell, are these searches hitting TigerHawk (and pretty much only TigerHawk -- there are only two other hits coming up on Google)? Because on January 26 I put up this post, which discusses an entirely different Onion story involving another fictional "Delsman."

It seems, therefore, that there is somebody at the Onion with a good friend, or terrible enemy, who rejoices in the name of "Delsman."
