That would be my guess. Dr. Suess for Sec of Health and Human Services.

Do you think the head of the CIA should be a spy or ex-spy?

Absolutely. Without a doubt. The system is to specialized. This is not a Fortune 500 company and it should not be run like one. Government is not business. We have been down that road before. I think Obama really screwed this up.

I think the rationale was that an outsider would be more likely to clean up the disgraced CIA. (failed intelligence leading to Iraq war, waterboarding, etc.) But I think it's just as likely that the career CIA folks will bristle under the scrutiny of an outsider and he will have a difficult time leading the agency.
