If Palin/McCain "wins". I am applying for a job |
|
I love animals and fear none.. I have also grown a few gardens in my time. I cook quite well, and am a whiz at grocery shopping, so I think I have an inside track to be Sec of Agriculture..
I was also born in Kansas, so that should give me an edge..
What job will YOU be applying for.. please state your qualifications :)

I've been a lawyer for 10 years so I could be Attorney General. Or maybe SCOTUS.

4. I'll be applying for Sec. Health and Human Services/Sec Ed |
|
Edited on Tue Sep-16-08 11:54 AM by Naturyl
We'll consolidate the positions (just like * consolidated executive branch) and I will immediately install a minimum income for all, single payer health care, and free education at all levels.
Sound crazy? No crazier than repealing Roe and teaching creationism in schools, I bet...

5. My qualifications are numerous |
|
I live next to a black man and am married to a hispanic man, so I could be an expert on race relations.
I have a couple of kids, one in college and one in highschool, was a member of the PTA and a few towns over there's a failing district that I'm glad my kids don't go to, so I'm surely qualified to fix the education system.
I watched my dad die in a VA hospital back in 2001, as he was reliant on his VA benefits because he had no other insurance. I'm uniquely qualified to be an advocate for vets benefits AND healthcare reform.
I've voted in every election since I was 18, so put me in charge of election reform!
OH! And I lived through Hurricane Gloria in the 80's, so put me in charge of FEMA!
However, points against me for not wearing lipstick.

12. While in the military, I was stationed on Adak Island for a year - |
|
in the Aleutian islands up in Alaska. Right under Russia. That should qualify me for VP, but since that position will be taken, I will have to settle for Ambassador to Russia. But I have to be honest, I couldn't really see Russia from there, at least not with the naked eye. That could hurt my chances.

I only live two hours from the border so naturally I'm qualified with foreign policy experience. Plus I'm a fan of Rush so I feel I know their culture well.

Stepped on two today in fact...I want to be the People's Executioner for War Crimes and I'll need staffing. The position doesn't exist yet but maybe we can get Conyers and Pelosi to run it through the House.

I told Stephanie Miller today about how qualified I was for Sec. of Veteran's Affairs (I lived across the street from a retirement home with a lot of old veterans), Ambassador to Greece (down the street from three Greek restaurants), Director of Homeland Security (The local offices were around the corner) and Head of the NEA (I'm an art school drop-out).
Anyone who might have been listening, I was "Will from Madison" :D
