Diversity in Cabinet Making

Joe Biden will have to choose carefully if he wants his cabinet to be diverse. He has promised it will represent all of us.

A diverse cabinet that reflects all of America will help make Americans feel invested in the government and presidential decisions. It will give us leadership that looks like America. 

Biden could start by appointing several morons. A moron could serve, for example, as secretary of education. But that's not enough. At least a third of American voters are determinedly stupid, and securing their input and trust is central to diversity at the cabinet level.

Hicks have long been underrepresented in the cabinet. Why not have the Dept. of Defense led by an evangelical, opiate-munching white woman from southern Ohio who dropped out of junior high to work as a lap dancer? 

Biden should consider asking the leader of Big Tobacco to serve as secretary of state, in large part because of his experience in providing smokes to third world nations. This man knows foreigners  He could simultaneously serve as secretary of labor, bringing to bear what he has learned from breaking unions.  

Finally,  Biden might want to include in his truly diverse cabinet a representative QANON rapist who argues that Obama is a Communist and a devout Moslem who died in 1984 and was replaced by a body-double trained by George Soros' nurse practitioner.
