President Bush announced former NYC Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik will replace Tom Ridge as chief of Homeland Security.
Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson announced his retirement from the Bush Cabinet today.
Bush's cabinet has 15 members. To date, 8 have resigned.
Update: Thompson included these warnings in his departure announcement:
...he expressed grave concern about the threat of a global flu epidemic and the possibility of a terrorist attack on the nation's food supply. "For the life of me," he said, "I cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do."
Thanks, Mr. Thompson, for letting them know.
