Ridgeback....

To Pennsylvania, where he can hole himself up in a house sealed with duct tape and color-code to his heart's content. Thanks for nothing, genius.

(this means that Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge has resigned, in case it sounds inscrutable.)

Maybe he's ducking out to work on this bizarre lawsuit:

LOS ANGELES — A lawsuit filed against the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services alleges the agency discriminated against a Filipino couple when it denied the husband's legal residency because his wife had a sex change operation nearly 24 years ago.

The lawsuit also names as defendants Attorney General John Ashcroft; Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge; William Yates, CIS associate director for operations; and Jane Arellano, director of CIS' Los Angeles district office.
