That's good news. Maybe someone will buy her a little place on the border.

Yes, pretty official. She is being named the president of the University of California system.

This comes under the heading, what was the University of California thinking.... Probably as strange a choice as making Dwight Eisenhower a West Point graduate the President of Columbia University.......

"Janet Napolitano, the U.S. secretary of Homeland Security and former governor of Arizona, is being named as the next president of the University of California system, in an unusual choice that brings a national-level politician to a position usually held by an academic, The Times has learned. Her appointment also means the 10-campus system will be headed by a woman for the first time in its 145-year history.

Napolitano’s nomination by a committee of UC regents came after a secretive process that insiders said focused on her early as a high-profile, although untraditional, candidate who has led large public agencies and shown a strong interest in improving education.

UC officials believe that her Cabinet experiences –- which include helping to lead responses to hurricanes and tornadoes and overseeing some anti-terrorism measures -- will help UC administer its federal energy and nuclear weapons labs and aid its federally funded research in medicine and other areas."

Might not be both, but odds are that it'll be a gay woman or a Muslim w/ ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Wait. Big Sis already was the gay woman... next!
