The Cabinet

Ok, tonight on 60 minutes, Barack confirmed that his cabinet will have some republicans. It took me 10 seconds longer to type that because i had to slow down. If I were speaking it, I would have stuttered. I support and trust Barack, so I hope he doesnt appoint anyone too drastic. He is meeting with McCain tomorrow, which scares the shit out of me, but Lincoln had some of his biggest rivals and enemies in his cabinet. So I am preparing myself. My suggestion for McCain's post: secretary of justice. Why? Because Justice was served when Barack beat him IN A LANDSLIDE. I know, I am petty, I know, I am immature. I know that appointment makes no sense, but I like it. This would be my cabinet if I were president:

Vice President - I think this would be someone I don't really like because I would not see them a lot as they would be in an undisclosed location. Perhaps I will do the whole world a favor and ask Paris Hilton.
Chief of Staff - My dear cousin, Katie O'Neill. No question. The white
wouldn't know what hit it.
* Department of Agriculture - my brother Tommy, he studied plant and soil science
in college and lives in Vermont.
* Department of Commerce - Steve Jobs, he knows how to make people buy things.
* Department of Defense - Wesley Clark. Because I like him, and I can't have ALL
of my cabinet just be people I know...
* Department of Education - Mrs Allen. She taught me how to write my name, tie
my shoes, sing "good morning to you, good morning to you, we're all in our places
with sunshiny faces, this is the way to start a new day" - who better to run the
country's education department!
* Department of Energy - Al Gore. because we need to use less energy, and he is the
man to promote that.
* Department of Health and Human Services - Adrian, my dear friend who is the
person I call at the first sign of any symptom, she would be perfect for this
job as she is no-nonsense.
* Department of Homeland Security - Javier Bardem, in character from No Country
for Old Men -no one would fuck with us if they saw him looming over the country.

eeeek! would YOU fuck with a country if you saw THAT waiting for you!?
* Department of Housing and Urban Development - Ty Pennington. He makes over
all of those houses in a week... that guy knows what he is doing when it comes
to housing and urban development. His assistant would be Bob Vila.
* Department of the Interior- Whoever is in charge of the Grand Canyon.
* Department of Justice - Denis Kucinich, because I like him and would like to
have him in my cabinet.
* Department of Labor - Kimberly Alicea - because she gave me a job when I
desperately needed one, and she, like me, believes everyone deserves to work.
* Department of State - Dumbledore. because I can do wahtever I want, I am the
president. He talks well to all, is well known, and lived to be well in his
100's. And I had to put a Harry Potter character in here... it's MY cabinet!
* Department of Transportation - Whoever would bring back the train as a valid,
economical way of travelling. I hate to fly, and I love taking the train, but
I am so limited for my train travelling! A
* Department of the Treasury - My dad! He does my taxes every year and is the only
person i trust with any of my financial questions.
* Department of Veterans Affairs - I don't know any veterans! So I guess I would
nominate the one veteran I love listening to every day: Randi Rhodes.

Of course, my advisors would be: the rest of my family I did not give a cabinet position to, and all of my other friends - Jess, Liz, etc..
