Ridge Out...Giuliani In Has Other Plans
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
Just a reminder that I correctly predicted that Rudy Giuliani would not replace John Ashcroft as Attorney General, but that he might agree to replace Tom Ridge as Director of Homeland Security.

Well, Ridge is resigning. So now we'll have to see whether I'm right again.

And remember my other pending prediction: If Chief Justice Rehnquist is the first on the Supreme Court to resign, President Bush will not nominate a current Associate Justice, since that would mean two confirmation battles rather than one.

UPDATE: Oh well, scratch that one --
Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who made headlines in the 1980s prosecuting Wall Street financiers, now plans to join the club and build an investment advisory practice. Giuliani's consulting firm on Wednesday said it purchased accounting firm Ernst & Young's investment banking practice for an undisclosed price. The new investment bank, Giuliani Capital Advisors LLC, will advise companies on deals such as acquisitions and restructurings.

Okay, so Ken Jennings I'm not...but I did know the correct question was "What is H&R Block?"!
