If you were president....

[LarryTheShiveringChipmunk]

And you had to choose a VP and cabinet from the board here, who would you pick?


(Just bc this is Hyde Park doesn't mean we can have Jekyllish fun)

[HappyFatChick]

That would be 16 people, right? I think? The VP plus the heads of 15 executive departments right? I really should research this before I post but I don't want my list to fall out of my head. OK, from memory, here goes:

VP: Judge Dredd

Secretaries of:
Agriculture: Larry the Shiv
Commerce: Toni
*Defense: Paul Fannin
Education: Sandy Sabo-Russo
Energy: Dan
Health/Human services: Fit Chick
*Homeland Security: NYEmtEsq
HUD: Ebony
Interior: Ann Marie
Justice(Atty Gen): Lilly
Labor: Echoes
*State: Conrad
Transportation: Ryan
Treasury: Max
Veterans: Fuzzy

* It was a 5-way tie for VP: Judge,NYE,Conrad,FC, and Paul
These people would be good in a number of positions. I just had to choose. It was hard!

[ScreamingChicken]

VP: Sandie Zitkus
Agriculture:BoBabe
Commerce: Sandie S-R
Defense:Ryan
Education: EbonySSBBW
Enery: Judge Dredd
Health/Human Service:Vickie
Hud:TraciJo
Interior:Wayne Zitkus
Justice: Lilly
Labor:Australian Lord
State: Ann Marie
Transportation:Tina
Treasury:this one's wide open. Just couldn't decide.
Veterans:FitChick

[Miss Vickie]

I think I'd just have an autonomous collective and we'd take turns being in charge. ;)

Yeah, I know. I'm hopeless.

[FitChick]

HFC,

May I be in charge of BOTH Health and Labor? I have some changes I REALLY want to make in thos areas....;)

[HappyFatChick]

LOL! Yes FC, you can have labor too. But you have to talk to Echoes about the switch. I totally forgot about your labor thing. You would be good.
You just had to be health because of your name:)

[Sandie_Zitkus]

Oh - I'm.......so......so......honored and surprised...........I .......I.............had no idea.

*sniffle*

(wipes eyes)

I don't know what to say. (sincere look)

Thank you thank you all so much.

You like me................you really really like me. (bow)

My moto will be - "A chicken in every pot!"

(shit):doh:

[ScreamingChicken]

Et tu, Sandie?:D

I didn't even get the chance to seduce an intern.:(

[HappyFatChick]

Scream- since we are the only 2 who did this, I have some ideas about yours.
You have some people out there who would be good at certain things in yours:
Wayne would be good for vets I think (didn't he say he was a vet? I think)
Aus can't serve. He's a foreigner.
I think JD should be defense.
You forgot homeland security. (On purpose?)
SL could be Interior. She's quirky:) in a good way.
Red should be transportation (with her snowmachines and all)

[Chimpi]

May I be the terrorist!?

[ScreamingChicken]

I meant to put RedHead as head of Homeland Security

[AnnMarie]

Woo-hoo, I have two offers outstanding. I will consider both carefully *whispers to lawyer* - thank you, that is all.

[Sandie_Zitkus]

Wayne would be good for vets I think (didn't he say he was a vet? I think)


LOLOLOL You couldn't be more wrong about Wayne - assuming you are talking about *my* Wayne.

He was classified 1-A during the Vietnam war. He flunked his physical twice and was reclassified 4-F (medically unsuitable for military service). Also when he was in High school he served as a draft counselor, advising young men of their rights under the Selective Service Act.

So no - he's not a Vet. :D

[Sandie_Zitkus]

Et tu, Sandie?:D

I didn't even get the chance to seduce an intern.:(

I'm sorry Chicken. :( I love chicken um ---- chickens!:D

[Chimpi]

LOLOLOL

I like that. :) Laugh Out Loud Out Loud Out Loud. Hehehe

[Sandie_Zitkus]

IS THAT A CHICKEN JOKE???????????????

Thank you, HFC, for your confidence in my ability to keep this country safe. However, in the interests of full disclosure, are you sure that you would want a practicing attorney to be head of DHS? As an occupation, we aren't exactly known for our ability to secure anything (except a couple of bucks when you spill hot coffee all over your crotch).

I'm also flattered that I was in consideration for the VP post. However, before you make a final selection, (and again, in the interests of full disclosure), I must divulge that I, like our current VP, would not be afraid to tell Pat Leahy to go f*ck himself on the Senate floor.

Finally, you forgot to name who would be your Court Jester.

[Sandie_Zitkus]

Yeah ok NYEMT - but are you hung like Dick??? lol

(does anyone else remember that picture) LOL

[HappyFatChick]

Sandie- WOW! When I screw up I REALLY screw up, huh?:D I so thought I read something about him and the service. I'm sure there is someone else out
there who could be Vets then.

Chimpi- NO! NO TERRORISTS ON MY WATCH!! If you want to be a terrorist you have to go VERY, VERY far away from here where there are no people you could hurt. {{{{{{{ Insert group hug......}}}}}}

NYE- There are so many possible candidates for jester, it would be hard to choose. I can think of at least 6 right now...

I was kind of rethinking putting Dan on Energy since it involves nukes. Hmmm... Kind of like putting me at the head of the chocolate store?:)

It was kind of hard and challenging to do this. I wanted to do it as seriously as possible, but with only 3 Republicans (I think), it was a bit (!) difficult to build a whole cabinet.

And with all the references to chicken in this thread I'm surprised no one said
"Yeah, It kind of tastes like chicken."

[RedHead]

I meant to put RedHead as head of Homeland Security

Cool! I actually really do have some ideas of great merit. Not to mention I am a crack shot:D

[FitChick]

LOL! Yes FC, you can have labor too. But you have to talk to Echoes about the switch. I totally forgot about your labor thing. You would be good.

Oh, baby....I want to be head of HEALTH!

Abortion: outlawed!
Smoking: outlawed!

Mandatory 30 mins minimum exercise DAILY for most people!

LABOR...

ALL racism OUTLAWED in hiring, firing and promotions!

[RedHead]

Yeah ok NYEMT - but are you hung like Dick??? lol

(does anyone else remember that picture) LOL

Yep....how could you possibly forget; it burned my retnas

[Boteroesque Babe]

Agriculture? 'Cause I'm so good at growing? Badaboom!

:D Who better than a foodee like yourself to oversee the nation's food supply? The improvement in government cheese alone would make your appointment to the post worth it.

I'm not sure you want me minding the nation's food supply. The nation would say, "hey, feels a little light this time." But okay. Under my reign, gubmunt cheese would be a lovely wire-cut wedge of crusty Taleggio from the Lombardy region, with a garnish of Italian flat leaf parsley.

I see "Chief of Staff" is open......

[ScreamingChicken]

I see "Chief of Staff" is open......
Congragulations, the job is yours.:)

[Tina]

It's quite a challenge, Transportation. To find vehicles that use alternative fuel and are fuel efficient, yet go screamingly fast... We have a test model in the works now, and it is ready for Conrad to comandeer on the quarter-mile track. Thanks for the appointment, SC. :D

[fatlane]

If I were elected president, I would demand an immediate recount.

[Jane]

Is that kinda like, "I wouldn't run any country that would have me for a president?"

[rainyday]

I would like to be in charge of psych-ops for someone (whatever heading that comes under). I'd covertly have the world thinking fat's da bomb in 12 months or less. (Is that a fat backside you can see in those ice cubes. . . ?) ;)

MKUltra of fat....I can see that. I'll be a volunteer for you on weekends.

Why thank you. I hope you have leaflet drop experience and excellent sky-to-earth aim.

[Jane]

Oh, yeah, I have the leaflet drop experience....but that aim thing....hmmm, may need a slingshot.

Will the guys donate speedos we can use as slingshots?

[fatlane]

1. Ban all advertising of weight-loss products.
2. Remove "possible weight gain" from the list of side effects consumers need warning about.
3. Remove the sugar tariffs so we can get some GOOD sweeteners again.
4. Ban all clothing ads with models smaller than a size 30 - don't want the anorexia, now do we?
5. Show videos from Nigeria on MTV. Those women are gorgeous! And you all know what I mean by THAT~!

Time for ice cream...

[HappyFatChick]

So now I have to rewrite/rethink it. I know there are 5 (?) more cabinet-level rank positions,
but I was out of Republicans by the middle of my list.
My chief of staff would have to be AndyF150 since he is the only Republican left.(I think)

I'm considering appointing Red to the EPA. I think she would be good.
I would put Vickie on Drugs (she being a nurse and all) but she is not one of us.:)

So Management/Budget, Drugs, and Trade are still unfilled. I have no one to choose.:(
I may have to resort to Libertarians.:)

[ScreamingChicken]

I may have to resort to Libertarians.:)
And this would be a bad thing?:rolleyes:

[1300 Class]

Labor eh? :sinister eyebrows:

[ScreamingChicken]

Labor eh? :sinister eyebrows:
No sinister intentions, only honorable ones.

[1300 Class]

Yes of course. Massive public works - statues, massive neo classical edifices etc. ;)

[TheSadeianLinguist]

Ha! To quote Wyclef Jean:

"If I was president
I'd be elected on Friday,
Assinated on Saturday,
And buried on Sunday."

[Ryan]

Ha! To quote Wyclef Jean:

Aren't elections on Tuesdays?

[TheSadeianLinguist]

They swear you in on a Friday.

[LarryTheShiveringChipmunk]

Elections on a tuesday, swearing in Jan 20

[TheSadeianLinguist]

Doh. Yeah.

[Zandoz]

If I were president........

I'd probably be assassinated.

Ummm....sorry...I guess that wasn't the question. Never mind.

[HappyFatChick]

After viewing most of the posts of my cabinet, I have to have a shake-up.
I am probably going to remove most of them and import some members from another board. (Rush's 24/7 room?)
This is going to take a while. People who I thought were Bush supporters are not. And some people I believed were conservatives are not. Oh well....:doh:

[JoyJoy]

...swearing in Jan...

They set aside a whole month just for those on the losing side? I guess I've missed this one...

[LarryTheShiveringChipmunk]

Ok now here's my Cabinet:

http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/hotel/8025/PICTURE/emptybeers.jpg

[Wagimawr]

Beer for homeland security. ^_^

[HappyFatChick]

LOL Chippy!!:)
Where's the pie??:eat2:

[Santaclear]

They set aside a whole month just for those on the losing side? I guess I've missed this one...

It's ridiculous that they try to limit the swearing to just one month.
