Can I get the EPA job? On the plus side, I’ve worked in the environmental field and don’t own a car. On the minus side, on cold days like today I think global warming sounds pretty good. Whoops, I may have just disqualified myself…

Shana — Surely there’s an embassy you can see from your new condo. Since that’s a foreign enclave, I think that qualifies as foreign policy experience.

I promise not to get into too much trouble using my law degree, although I am having fun imagining what I could do with my newly-acquired subpoena powers.

Not a cabinet level gig but I’d suggest myself for Chair of the FCC. Bring in EFF as advisers and work to find realistic answers to net neutrality and drastically increase US broadband penetration.

Though I think Obama needs a cabinet level CTO adviser too…

Shana honey, nobody with any sense would put me in charge of ANYTHING they thought would matter. Hmmm, maybe I should take over ONDCP from Hlinko and run it into the ground…

I checked w/ our Martian Rovers and they’re pretty unhappy at the prospect of hosting Stoller for the next four years. How about putting him on one of the moons instead? Phobos or Deimos– doesn’t matter.

Good that you are not selecting me for my (non-existent) foreign affairs expertise. That said, I won’t let you down. Time to show these diplomats how we roll DC netroots style…

So, are you President in this scenario, Colin?
