If I were president and was going to appoint my DU Cronies to the cabinet

[LynneSin]

which cabinet position do you want and what makes you qualified?

[Mutley]

1. Anything that pays really good money.

I'll make up qualifications as needed.

[XemaSab]

2. Ambassador to Brazil

You can trust me to answer any embarassing questions about the ethnic makeup of the country before you ask the president of said country.

And I can count to a Brazilian without taking my shoes off. :D

[Chovexani]

3. I wanna be Secretary of Cowbell!

'Cause I got a fever. :silly:

[tjwmason]

4. Can I be Ambassador to the Court of St. James?

It would only mean moving into London which isn't far from here - plus I look fine in a morning suit.

[Pacifist Patriot]

30. I'm partial to pasty-faced Englishmen. Can I be your assistant?

[tjwmason]

38. Sounds like fun

Can I just say "diplomatic immunity" - parking in London is nigh on impossible, but we get cars with the magic "D" plates. :bounce:

[Patiod]

5. Secretary of the Interior

Because I have a rich Interior Life, plus I'm a big fan of the state of Delaware.

[VelmaD]

"An armed society is a polite society" --Charlton Heston

[LynneSin]

21. Yes, but only one Rocket Launcher with one rocket

once you've used your rocket - you're screwed!

[billyskank]

23. I sense a business opportunity for a man (or woman)

Qualifications? I don't need no stinkin' qualifications!

[WilliamPitt]

But you could have the "Boston Red Sox & Patriots Looser" title if you like!

[JVS]

27. Secretary of drinking cheap beer

[tavalon]

28. Secretaty of Health

Question? Would that give me the right to fire Julie L. Gerberding, Director of the CDC? Just wondering because if so, that would be my first official act.

[Pacifist Patriot]

29. U.S. Department of Education

I homeschool. Obviously I'm qualified. I'm loyal to you, aren't I?

[El Fuego]

31. National Security Adviser

I am qualified because, unlike some people, if I were handed a report entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States" I would, like, know what that meant.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

40. and if someone handed you a real plan on combatting terrorism

you would be able to recognize it too

[Scoots]

32. Secretary of Pabst Blue Ribbon Security

[usedtobesick]

33. cool I take Chief of Staff

[merh]

34. May I be in charge of FEMA or the Red Cross.

I know the Red Cross is a charity, but it is a government sponsored charity so you would have a big say so in me getting the top job.

I would be sure that the folks who need the help get the help. I know that is an odd concept for either agency, but hey, let's think outside of the box! :crazy:

:hug:

[Lady Freedom]

35. Secretary of (That Forbidden topic)Education

[philosophie_en_rose]

[salin]

42. Dept of Education

advanced degree in ed policy at top program and time done as a policy analyst and years of work with urban youth and urban schools as well as some work with rural schools and youth.

[KamaAina]

43. Gulf Coast rebuilding czar

Qualifications: former address ('89-'91) 2103 S. Carrollton Ave., NOLA 70118, ph. [phone]. Pursued a post-baccalaureate certificate in Computer Information Systems through Tulane's Universty College. Briefly played N.O. R&B over WTUL-FM. "Flirted" with a male anti-choicer outside Orleans Women's Clinic causing him to go batshit ballistic as though I'd sprayed him with poisonous acid. Marched through the Lower Ninth Ward in an MLK Day parade; let's just say that, if a group photo had been taken, it would have been extremely easy to spot me...

By the way, I only remember one of my other phone numbers I've had since then, and it started with 777 and ended with 99, so it hardly counts.

edit: Also, much less likely than KKKarl Rove to end up in the federal pen!

[jmowreader]

44. I want to be Secretary of Quality

I'm gonna make "made in America" mean something again. Basically, I'm going to turn the ISO 9000, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and QS 9000 quality management systems into national initiatives.

Some European countries do this--Austria I know has a government-run quality board. There's no reason we can't do the same.
