I am establishing a shadow government. Or am I? If I really were to establish a shadow government, I certainly wouldn't blog about it. Would I?

There is very little to write, actually. I have Ministers of Finance, Propaganda, Kindness, Psychology, Singing (multiple), Advice-giving (multiple), Medicine (multiple, holistic), The Social Construction of Identity, Education, and Fun. Vacant posts include Ministers of Defense and the Interior, as I have yet to figure out what the Interior Minister would do. If it is decorating public buildings, then I have some candidates. If it's about trees, got that too...anything else, I will have phase one group interviews. Or will I?

Oh yeah, now I know a righteous lawyer who turned his back on one of the top firms in the nation to, like, fight corporations. It would be one thing to just get to meet great people all the time, but with such a varied and tremendous lot, it is clear that I am supposed to create a shadow government operating out of Chicago. When the oil runs out we will have to use magnetic trains to get everywhere Chicago will regain its primacy and Daley will be old and needing an Irish-American to helm this great nation. Which is going to be a lot smaller, incidentally.
