She could totally poke someone's eye out with that bow
Seems like every day I read something about yet another innocent person fucked over by our embarrassment of a government's indiscriminate trampling of rights in the name of security. I'd like to suggest that Obama, upon taking the oath of office, immediately appoint a Cabinet-level position: Secretary of Fixing Everything That the Previous Administration Completely Fucked Up. That should be a full-time job.

not the point, really, but - Obama? really? eh.
Posted by: Ken/Cazique at September 20, 2007 04:36 PM[incredulously] Everything That the Previous Administration Fucked Up? Everything? That's more than a job, it's a lifetime. NCLB, the environment, the economy...
Maybe two secretaries?
Ken: Well, I went down one of those "where everyone stands on which issues" spreadsheets, and he's the one I agreed with the most -- of the electable candidates, anyway. Kucinich may be a babe magnet, but I don't think he's got a shot at the nomination.
Posted by: Francis at September 20, 2007 04:42 PMYou know, I was talking with a friend of mine the other day, and we agreed that the Dubya presidency has actually made us feel like Bush père wasn't so bad. And I fucking *hated* Dubya's father at the time, so really, I'm astonished by how much *more* I hate his son and what he and his neocon buddies have done to this country.
(Also, I agree with JB above: that cabinet position is a lifetime appointment.)
