Oh, One More Cabinet Position
I don't know as he'd be interested in the position, but it might be nice to see someone like Al Gore in charge of the EPA.
Depending on global warming being the huge ecological catastrophy some have said (and not the latest "chicken little" issue) one could argue that solving our ecological crisis is our single most pressing problem right now.
After all, if we're slowly transforming the planet into an uninhabitable rock in space, perhaps "little things" like our financial crisis and our war on terror may not matter so much.
(Yes, I'm being facetious when I refer to those things as "little things", but the truth (in the words of psychologist Abraham Maslow's "Hierarchy of Need") is that when you're on fire, that's generally the thing you worry about most, and it's not until the flames are extinguished that you consider the fact that you're also ravenously hungry and utterly broke.)

"Prepotent" as Maslow would say, or "foreground." Same as the saying (I think it might have been Maslow's): "When one is hungry, God comes in the form of bread." It all depends in the end on the size of the organism. (And the fact that any idiot knows the old hot-foot prank means that we should view the CEO's as the schlemiels they are, just like the fellows who mentor young people to blow their brains out onto other people to make a point. You don't blow your nose on someone else in a polite society, etc.).
