5. I think it is a wonderful idea and I know what you mean about wanting to
be able to return to a life not dominated by this vigil we keep over the fascism we've come to expect.

6. You know he has no formal education in law.
I would rather have someone that had a long legal career, or taught, and was well grounded in Constitutional law.

have a law degree? Just thinking out loud here.

13. Dennis would be better off in charge of health care.
We need an attorney general who will prosecute the Bush Crime Family and take on the whore media. Not that Dennis wouldn't, but I don't believe he's an attorney.

I was thinking John Edwards for AG until he dug himself into a hole with his private life. Now that seems unlikely.

Maybe RFK Jr would like to have his dad's old job?

14. Either Labor or Health and Human Services
We need an actual attorney as Attorney General.

And definitely, Earl Blumenauer (Oregon) for Secretary of Transportation.

16. Actually the best AG would be Russ Feingold.
He is a brilliant and passionate lawyer and he would put things in order, but I would hate to lose him as our Senator.

19. I would be proud to share him with the country.
I don't think Obama will take Senators for posts like that unless we have a hefty Democratic majority that we are sure to maintain though.

18. Dennis has no political clout within the Democratic Party or the Obama organization
Therefore no posts will ever come his way.

20. That is the fact of the matter.
Dennis has a propensity to sometimes alienate political allies, never looking to the future. He does it here back home, and it doesn't help things.

Sometimes you have to work with people that you find politically distasteful; that's the part of politics the 'ideologically pure' have trouble with.

21. Mine is that Obama sets up a little room for the lil guy, stuffs it full of ham radio equipment and
antennas, and lets Moonbeam McCrazypants talk to all of the aliens he wants to.

25. And fuck them too!
He said he had seen an unidentified object not green nonexistent figments of your imagination. Exploit appearances much? You know, and if you don't I'm telling you, nothing is ever as it appears. :eyes:

31. Of course *I* know it's bullshit. The problem is that Moonbeam McCrazypants DOESN'T....
http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2007/10/kucinich_had_a_ufo_encounter_according_to_friend_shirley_maclaine.php

And just his general craziness:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/2/23/113236/176



He's a wonderfully intentioned, passionate, sweet guy who suffers from the singular flaw of being batshit looney toons.

36. Eh . . . no
I might like some of things Boy Wonder says, but that doesn't mean I want him to have that much power.
