Fantasy Cabinet

Here's a nifty little thing from Fox News. It lets you pick your own cabinet for Obama, giving you a couple choices for each open spot.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to staff the cabinet with hardcore conservatives like Phil Gramm and Rick Santorum. Too bad--I think the results would've been amusing. It is interesting, though, to read some of the choices offered. I hadn't realized Tom Vilsack was in the running for Secretary of Agriculture.

By the way, does anyone have any idea why there seems to be a law requiring that the Secretary of Agriculture come from a farm state? Does that even matter? It's not like Vilsack is out there hoeing potatoes every day. I guess the idea is that they have experience with "agricultural issues," but seriously now. Somebody from New York could be just as qualified as a guy from Iowa.
