It's that time that comes around whenever an incumbant president wins re-election: Political Silly Season! Who's going? Who's staying? Who's going to take over that open position? Personally, I shy away from the political season, but I do have one prediction now that Tom Ridge has resigned. Tommy Thompson will declare that he is not interested in becoming Tom Ridge's replacement. Then he will do everything in his power to get the position. He may even hint to the media that he's interested. Then he'll say he's thinking about coming back home to Wisconsin to run for Governor. Then he'll again say he was never interested in the position of Homeland Security Secretary when it is apparent he didn't won't get it. Then he'll stay on at the Department of Human Health and Services. Then he'll resign in a year to run for Governor of Wisconsin. Then the bird flu will break out shortly after Tommy leaves the Federal Gub'mint. And Tommy will kick back and drink a beer.
