Apparently, it takes a global health scare (swine flu) to get a health and human services secretary because this evening, the senate confirmed Kathleen Sebelius as the health and human services secretary.
Earlier, on a different note, veteran Pennsylvania senator Arlen Specter switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party… bringing the democrats one step closer to the 60-seat majority (if Al Franken wins the ongoing Minnesota Senate race, we will be at 60).
