You shouldn't have to endure looking at Alito's ass! :scared:

[Maddy McCall]

42. I second this.

[Rowdyboy]

84. Has he been retired from the military for 10 years yet?

If so, he's the perfect choice. If not, we can always make him Secretary of Veterans Affairs until he has his 20 years.

[CottonBear]

101. Oops. I don't think so. Is there a 10 year rule for Sec Def?

Secretary of Veterans Affairs would be perfect too!

[Rowdyboy]

104. Yeah, ex-military must have been out of the service for at least 10 years

Surprised the hell out of me when it was first mentioned a few years ago. I questioned whether it was fact and the original poster linked to a section of the US code. Hell, I'd think having retired military in that spot would be ideal.

CaliforniaPeggy gets a diplomatic posting to any country of her choice.

Crazy Guggenheim as secretary of popcorn.

That is awesome!

I choose France, since I speak a little French, and I love the place...

Mais oui!:thumbsup:

[CottonBear]

45. I'd like to be in charge of National Parks and Historic sites.

I'm a land planner and a tree hugger! :)

[babylonsister]

46. Do you realize this thread degenerated into a Lounge

topic? :evilgrin: Imagine that! :spray: :party:

[GreenPartyVoter]

110. Yeah, go figger! *lol*

[Oeditpus Rex]

51. I'm gonna be seriously upset

if I don't get a nomination for Minister of Silly Walks.

[RevCheesehead]

61. There is no better candidate on the face of the internets than you.

Unless John Cleese suddenly becomes a DU member... :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

62. Some people think

a Ministry of Silly Walks isn't necessary.

Can you iMAGine??

[RevCheesehead]

63. It's probably the word "Ministry" that turns them off.

Around here, we make them "Departments."

In college, I worked the Summer Session (continuing education), and we had "ministries" for all our positions. I was the Minister of Finance (bookkeeping), and my sweetie was the Minister of Transportation (he went to the airport and picked up the teachers).

Perhaps we should create Ministerial positions?
I want to be Minister of Snark! :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

64. 'Snark' doesn't sound sufficiently British

How about the Ministry of Witty Repartee?

[RevCheesehead]

65. That's cool.

And it's snooty enough even for Rabrrrrrr! :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

68. We oughta change all gummint offices

to British-sounding names.

Like the Ministry for Running Up the Stairs Two At a Time, Flinging Open the Door and saying "Ha Ha, Caught You, Mildred."

[RevCheesehead]

77. Sure - but what would you do with FEMA?

[madrchsod]

54. i nominate myself for---

director of white house fashion and good taste

[KitchenWitch]

55. I want a position

but I do not know which one...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

57. You can have any position you want, my dear KitchenWitch!

You are so smart that you'd be great anywhere.....:thumbsup:

:loveya: :hug:

[ZombieNixon]

58. I wanna be in charge of inane silliness!

Either that or feminine health. :evilgrin:

[auntAgonist]

59. Could I be a

queen? I always wanted to be a queen, wear a crown, sit on a throne (other than the toilet), wave my scepter, and make proclamations.

[tjwmason]

60. billyskank as Ambassador to the Court of St. James

and me as the Charge d'Affairs of the same embassy.

That way we get cushy jobs, don't have to move, can park where we like in London, and get to be rude to Poodle-Boy and his merry men.

[billyskank]

70. I'm up for it

:bounce:

[tjwmason]

72. Can we rebuild the Embassy?

That building in Grosvenor Square is pretty damn ugly.

Also, given that you'd be my boss - can I have permission to access D.U. at work? ;)

[billyskank]

79. Accessing DU at work would be mandatory

Rebuilding the embassy might be okay, but would we have to work in a portacabin while it was being done?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

73. What can I be?

Keep in mind, I sleep late and hate to work hard.

[SoCalDem]

74. You simply MUST be in charge of coffee.. I'll take desserts

:)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

76. I can do that.

:)

[GalleryGod]

78. And???

J.A.F.P.C.

southlandshari for V.P. and/or Speaker of the House.

[Redstone]

103. Thank you, BI. My first official action would be this: Quit so she could

be President.

Redstone

[In_The_Wind]

114. Hello Mr. Redstone.

www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4819356&mesg_id=4819385






:loveya:

[Redstone]

118. OK, I'll bow out; you can have the job. Just make me ambassador to Tahiti,

would you please?

Redstone

[In_The_Wind]

119. Consider it done.

You're going to do a wonderful job !

[hyphenate]

83. I think I would adequately fill

the position of whoever is in charge of NASA. I'd make certain we had plans for more space trips. Either that or Health and Human Services. I'd make certain that money for taking care of our own people was there, and no illegal war companies like Halliburton would line their pockets in war profits.

[lizziegrace]

85. UN Ambassador - California Peggy

She can wow them with her charm, diplomacy and grace. But she can always drop the F-Bomb when it's required.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

88. My dear lizziegrace!

Awwwwww...you are too sweet! If called upon, I will serve!

We'll have to find someone else to be Ambassador to France......

Since I already threw my hat in the ring for that one...but I love the UN!

:toast:

[lizziegrace]

112. My daughter's fluent in French

We can send her. ;)

I'd like to be in charge of the National Endowment for the Arts or PBS.

[GreenPartyVoter]

[AllegroRondo]

86. I'll head the Ministry of Silly Walks

[hippiechick]

:hi:

[NoPasaran]

89. Voat fer mee fer Cheif uv tha Speling Poleece, Okey?

[Hugin]

90. I'd like to request a post...

You name it, except for Dog Catcher. Save that for a show
of bipartisanship.

[Benfea]

92. I nominate myself for Supreme Dictator For Life

We will have Conservative Head Explodings on every alternating Thursday until such time as we run low on conservatives.

[GreenPartyVoter]

93. Who is going to clean up all that mess?

[Benfea]

95. The surviving conservatives. Duh. -NT

[GreenPartyVoter]

97. Aha! But the last one to blow up won't be able to clean up after himself

[Benfea]

99. We'll just blow him up someplace really remote...

…and let the local fauna deal with the mess.

Honestly, you're making this far more complicated than it needs to be! ;)

[MissMillie]

94. Can I be the White House Social Secretary?

I could put on a pretty good party!

[GreenPartyVoter]

98. Sure, and we'll make the corporations pay for everything, but they

don't get any sweetheart deals in return.

[miss_american_pie]

100. What -- no poet laureate?

;)

[SeattleGirl]

120. How about RetroLounge?

Yes, he posts other people's poetry, but lots of us look forward to reading it every day, so I think he would be a great pick!

[CottonBear]

102. Who's gonna be the president's press secretary?

They'll get to call on Helen Thomas at every conference!

[ProfessorGAC]

105. Can I Be Secretary Of The Treasury?

It might be refreshing to have someone in that job who actually understand economics and finance! Doncha think?
The Professor

[DS1]

106. What a stunningly boring country

:yoiks:

[GreenPartyVoter]

111. *kick in the pantseat* Fine, you don't get to be the liason to the Playboy

Mansion.

[ScreamingMeemie]

107. Rabrrrrrr: Director of Protocol.

:thumbsup:

[Rabrrrrrr]

109. I think that's a lot safer than making me secretary of state.

:7

[RedCloud]

108. Dibs on the BIA!

then I'll get after the CIA!

[Wetzelbill]

126. I beat ya to it!

:)

Although, I just might eliminate the BIA. :) So then I'd be out of a job too.

[LSK]

113. i nominate myself to the Office of Truthiness

Any elected official or media member who tells a lie is immediately deported to Iraq.

I'm qualified, I swear.

[Wetzelbill]

127. I just want all the DU women to be on my staff

that way at least my photo-ops will look good. :)

And, since I'll delegate my work off to them, well, I'll look smart too. Can you say "Empty Suit"? :)

[XemaSab]

128. That sounds SO WRONG!!!!!

:rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

129. it sounds wrong, but it's a smart move

:)

[XemaSab]

130. Not if your wife finds out!

"I just want all the DU women to be on my staff"

That's what Clinton said...

:rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

131. thank Bukowski I'm single

Yes, you need to watch out for Dems named Bill. :evilgrin:

You know, behind every great man is the work and brains of a woman. :)
