ok y'all asked for it! If PiP people replaced government officials tomorrow, job by job, which PiP folks would be a good match for each job? Pres Veep Supreme Court Sec Def Treasury White House Chief of Staff etc. (Note: now, everybody has to pre-agree not to take offense at any notions expressed herewith.) There are also no correct answers to this question. |

If I were President, my friends, I'lltell you what I'd do. I'd look hard at this land of ours And make a change or two. I'd make the congress tell me where My hard-earned money went That I should get at 65 If I were President. If I were leader of this land Car salesmen couldn't lie. You'ld get to see the honest price And then decide to buy. Fine print would be in simple words That folks could understand And contracts would be handshakes if I were to rule this land. If I could be the man on top The juries would all go. We'd simply use truth serum to Learn all we need to know. "No contest" pleas would be outlawed... You're guilty or you're not And lawyers wouldn't rob you blind If I were in top spot. If I were Mister Number One Insurances would pay Amounts that they agreed to when You signed your life away. Mechanics wouldn't charge you for The work they hadn't done And guarantees would be upheld If I were Number One. If I were sitting in that chair All crooks would be interred And have to pay the victims for The damages incurred. Congressmen would have to live by Laws that they passed there And pay for their own limousines If I were in that chair. If I were top dog in the pound There wouldn't be parole And prisoners who broke the rules Would wind up in the "hole". Doctors who screwed up their patients Wouldn't be around But would be held responsible If this dog ruled the pound. If I were President...Vienna Sausages would rule And golf would be the only subject Taught in any school. All birds would have to chirp in rhyme And papers only print The news that makes one feel good If I were President. |

Pres- Mike seems to have this one all sewn up Veep- Nan- She is always working behind the scenes, and gets things done without too much fanfare,and (usually) without anyone realizing it was done. Definitely, Ron's right hand... uh... hmmm.... well, you get the idea. Chief Justice- Karilea- Who else works as hard in the Mod Forum to keep all of the judges in line and to ensure that the laws of the land are fair and followed? Sec Def- Bob K (you can pick you jaw up off the floor, Bob)- He is, many times, the main voice of reason in the Alley when tempers are starting to flare, yet he has been known to kick a keester when he feels it is time to get people's attention. Sec Treasure- Banished Fairy- She is an accountant who- after studying the federal budget- made the statement that every politician in Washington was a moron and suggested that they be given remedial math courses to learn how to add and subtract, and another course in owning and maintaining a bank account for fun and profit. Chief of Staff- Ron- He does all the real work anyhow. No one knows what he does, how he does it, or when he is doing it, yet if he were not keeping this conglomeration together, it would surely be all out anarchy Press Secretary- Karen (Serenity Blaze). Anyone who has seen her express her opinion, and is tired of the current and past holders of this office shoot the malarkey, would never question this. The press briefings would never be PC, but who cares? Senior Advisors- Denise and myself... to keep him from feeling alone amongst all those from across the isle. And others as they come to mind. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "WHAT A RIDE |

still laughing and nodding here, Ringo! Great job on this! Tip o' da hat to ya, Jeff p.s. Think there's a job on the Staff as Speech Writer, somewhere, for me? or Propaganda Czar heck, I'd even settle for Lost Sock Czar. Now there's a problem everyone has. |
