We Have A Commissioner!

If you did not live in Chicago during the mayoral transition from the late Harold Washington to Eugene Sawyer, you won't get the hilarity that is the title for this post.

Be that at it may, the Senate has provided both advice and consent on the nomination of Gil Kerlikowske to serve as Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection. According to the official announcement:

Gil Kerlikowske is Director of National Drug Control in the Office of National Drug Control Policy at the White House, a position he has held since 2009.  From 2000 to 2009, he served as Chief of Police in Seattle, Washington.  From 1998 to 2000, he was Deputy Director of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services at the U.S. Department of Justice.  From 1994 to 1999, he was Police Commissioner of Buffalo, New York.  He began his law enforcement career serving in the St. Petersburg, Florida Police Department from 1972 to 1987.  Mr. Kerlikowske served on active duty in the U.S. Army from 1970 to 1972, and in the Army Reserve from 1972 to 1976.  He received a B.A. and an M.A. as well as an D.H.L. from the University of South Florida.
