    What about Shari Lewis for Department of Agriculture, and if she fails with Lambchop, Charlie Horse, and HushPuppy, she can at least torture some Gitmo detainees with "The Song That Doesn't End" instead of waterboarding them?


    Okay, she's dead and torture jokes aren't cool, but that song bugged the crap out of me.

    I've always thought that Stevie Wonder, Bill Cosby, and Willie Nelson belonged in a presidential cabinet. Even if that means creating departments of getting down, wearing sweaters, and smoking dope, respectively.


    But seriously, I think those 3 could save the entire world together with all their good vibes.

    Ah the original Cookie Monster.
    The present day "cookies are a sometimes food" angle is bullcrap.
    COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE STARTS WITH C!!!


    I would also like to nominate the original Letter People for joint Secretaries of Education. Mister H and His Horrible Hair would work perfectly with Mister T and his Tall Teeth and Miss U and her Upsy Daisy Umbrella. They could teach us so much.

    And if Obamer really wanted to please me he'd put Mayor McCheese, Spaghetti Cat, Jerri Blank, the Burger King, Superdude and the mop from the Swiffer commercials in his cabinet. Also, the creepy Orbits lady.

    @RisaPlata: Clearly I can't stop thinking about this.


    Reporter: And here we are, the day after Americans inaugurated our first midget president.

    Seth Green: I'm not a midget you know. I'm just short.

    Reporter: Mister President, how did your first cabinet meeting go?

    Seth Green: Great!

    Cut to: Earlier cabinet meeting

    Seth Green: Captain Planet, as head of the EPA, how are we on Global Warming.

    Captain Planet: Fixed it.

    Seth Green: But, should we sign the Kyoto Treaty?

    Captain Planet: Do whatever you want, but the planet's fixed.

    Seth Green: Okay, then. Ms Frizzle, how is education?

    Ms Frizzle: We're working on magic school buses for every school in the country.

    Seth Green: Even charter schools? How can we afford that?

    Ms Frizzle: We don't need textbooks anymore.


    I need to work in "Go-Go-Gadget Masturbatory Aide!" But it's a start.
