Edit: But to provide you with a serious answer, the Department of Commerce and Labor was created to monitor the inter-state activities between corporations. It was only later that this role expanded as a department bent on stimulating economic growth in various sectors. Despite living a fairly humble life, no car, maybe 3 suits to his name, and a little DC apartment, Nader is in fact a millionare in stock value. He's a shrewd investor, a responsible investor, and understands market trends well enough to make millions in investments. Secondly, you'd be hard pressed to find a man who knows more about the behavior of corporations and corporate law (this was, after all, his initial trade in life). The man has dedicated his life to consumer protection, to expanding the buying power of the average American. He is truly the most civic-minded person I know of. |

I'll make no apologies for being a bit cynical here and I'd also add that a few names will be associated with the band Marillion Vice President: Me, I can't be president as I'm not american so the president will be Ian Mosley who has or had US citizenship I think. Department of Agriculture: Farmer Giles Department of Commerce: Lucy Jordache, (Marillion manager) Department of Defense: Reverend Jesse Jackson Department of Education: Miss Ballbreaker from Porkies Department of Energy: Superman, he has lots of it Department of Health & Human Services: Diana Ross, should be good for the anti-drink lobby Department of Homeland Security: The little pig that built his house from bricks unlike the other 2 Department of HUD: Paul Newman??? What's HUD? Department of the Interior: Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen (interior designer from the UK) Department of Justice: Judge Jim Garrison Department of Labor: Madonna Department of State: Phileas Fogg Department of Transportation: Burt Reynolds, (in Smokey and the bandit role) Department of the Treasury: Wile Y Coyote. I just admire how he affords all those devices to catch the roadrunner without seeming to do any work to pay for them. Department of Veteran Affairs: Errol Flynn EPA: ??? Office of Management and Budget: Erik Nielsen, (the commerce king of Marilion) Office of National Drug Control Policy: Pablo Escobar U.S. Trade Rep.: Eddie Murphy, he could talk anyone into anything. Chief of Staff: Barbara Tripp Sub-cabinet: Natl. Security Advisor: Oliver North Press Secretary: Monica Lewinsky CIA Director: Jack Ryan FBI Director: Robert de Niro, (should be good for sorting out the mafia) Senior Advisor: Richard Nixon Federal Reserve Board: |

Well I can hit some of these now..... Vice President: Rep. Harold Ford (D-TN) - He's the head of the Blue Dog contingent in the House, he's young and popular on both sides. He'd disagree with me on policy, but that's why I'd have him be my VP hood ornament. He'd secure me some southern votes, too. Department of Commerce: Ralph Nader Department of Defense: John McCain Department of Agriculture: Jim Hightower Department of Justice: Eliot Spitzer Department of Labor: Dick Gephardt Department of State: Carol Moseley-Braun Department of Veteran Affairs: Max Cleland EPA: Jason West (G- NY) Office of Management and Budget: Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) Office of National Drug Control Policy: Gary Johnson (R- NM) - http://www.motherjones.com/news/spec...nvestment.html Here is why Johnson would be perfect for this. He's a Republican who is true to the original values of his party. He's tough on drug dealers and sympathetic towards drug addicts. He recognizes that this is a social problem, not a criminal one. U.S. Trade Rep.: Joseph Stiglitz Chief of Staff: Dan Johnson-Weinberger Sub-cabinet: Natl. Security Advisor: Ret. Gen. Wesley Clarke Press Secretary: Aaron McGruder - Yes, the guy who does the Boondocks comic strip. I've seen him speak a few times. He is intelligent, a good speaker when it comes to Q&A reaction, and has charisma. He'd be a great mouthpiece for an administration. CIA Director: Scott Ritter Senior Advisor: Joe Trippi |

Rudy as Attorney General. That's HILARIOUS!!!  EDIT: Okay, since most of you are playing funny to cover up the fact that you wouldn't know who to put in any of these positions, then pick FIVE serious ones, and then return to being brain dead I-Mockers.... |

And now, who wants to live in my country? |
