The Obama administration has tapped James Cameron (the Director of
Avatar) as a consultant on how to solve the Gulf oil-spill crisis. This is because he has had some experience with submersibles, presumably during the filming of
Titanic. Now this seems to me to be the ultimate in thinking outside the box on the part of the White House. As a consequence, I have the following suggestions for future administration appointments:
- George Lucas (creator and director of
Star Wars fame) to help us plan for NASA’s future after our last space shuttle flight this fall.
- George Lopez (Mexican-American comedian and star of
The George Lopez Show) to opine on how to solve our illegal immigrant problem.
- Homer Simpson (star of
The Simpsons) to help us plan on how to expand the number of our domestic nuclear power plants … and get rid of our nuclear waste.
- Ray Croc (deceased McDonald’s founder) on solving our unemployment problem.
- Suze Orman (financial consultant and host of
The Suze Orman Show) on solving the U.S. national debt crisis.
- Kevin Costner (of
The Untouchables fame) to help us wipe out organized crime.
- George Soros (billionaire monetary speculator and former Nazi collaborator) on unwinding the world’s monetary crises.
- Kiefer Sutherland (of
24 fame) on preventing future domestic terrorist attacks.
- Peter Shin (Korean-American and director of
The Family Guy) on how to pacify North Korea’s nuclear belligerency.
- Christiana Amanpour (Iranian-American, CNN newsreader and future anchor of NBC’s
This Week) on convincing Iran to give up their nuclear ambitions.
- Barbara Streisand (star of
Yentl) to help us solve the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
