Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix

Today, I was doing some research on all the positions in President Bush’s present cabinet, though I think I screwed up somewhere along the way. First person to point out all the inaccuracies (without Googling, as always) gets Daft Dave bragging rights for the week!

There isn’t a secretary of the exterior… I think that is the secretary of state’s job… who seems to have been left out… poor state department…

1) no secretary of exterior
2) secretary of housing and urban development, those aren’t individual cabinet posts
3) same thing with health and human services
4) no secretary of transportation

In addition to mri’s comments 1-3:
Education and Welfare should be just Education.
Although, not a Secretary by title, the Attorney General is included as head of the Dept. of Justice
