Not Even Zen Humor: The Muppets Challenge

Some silliness my wife asked for ... the 'challenge' is to replace five USA presidential administration posts with five Muppets.

Here's my list:

5. For Surgeon General - Dr. Teeth. We would get a song with each new surgeon general recommendation, so that is a Schoolhouse Rock type of bonus. Plus, he's got an appropriate degree, apparently.

4. For head of HHS - Scooter. Just for the level head and the power of getting things done. Plus, he listens. It's a good position for listening before deciding.

3. For head of DOD - Miss Piggy. I know it's a dangerous appointment but underlying all the aggression is a core of calculated sanity. Plus she listens to Kermit, sometimes. And appropriately doesn't listen at times, too, because some bad person has revealed who they are. Hiiiya! (Karate chop.)

2. For VP - Statler and Waldorf. Hey, they're listed together as one Muppet on the membership lists. They are old enough to talk the language of the U.S. Congress, which has ancient leadership. Plus they would worry everyone that we need Kermit to stay healthy.

1. For President of the USA - Kermit. It's hard to pick anyone else. 

Extras:

Press Secretary - Fozzie Bear
National Science Foundation - Dr. Bunsen Honeydew
Agriculture - Janice
Interior - Sam Eagle
Education - Rowlf the Dog
FEMA - Rosita
NOAA - Elmo
Deputy Press Secretary - Animal (if Fozzie starts bombing, Animal rushes out to scatter the reporters)
