Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, whose name
became synonymous with color-coded terror alerts
and tutorials to the public about how to prepare for
possible attack, is resigning, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
Ridge submitted his resignation in writing to President
Bush on Tuesday morning, said officials who
confirmed the departure only on grounds of anonymity.
In an e-mail circulated to Homeland Security
officials, Ridge praised the department as "an extraordinary
organization that each day contributes to keeping America
safe and free."
He also said he was privileged to work with the
department's 180,000 employees "who go to
work every day dedicated to making our
country better and more secure."

Who's gonna be his replacement?
Curly Joe or Wimpy Joe?

I bet his stock in the duct tape cartel went through the roof,
allowing his early retirement!
