What’s the big deal about needing experience to be president? All one needs to know is how to take a multiple choice test. Presidential advisers give the choices, and the president chooses one according to his or her values or lack thereof. But the rub lies with the advisers and values.

On one side, the president will have a full cabinet available for advice. That is, Departments of Defense, Interior, State, Agriculture, and a bunch more that have served us well.

On the other side, however, the president will have some new Departments. The Department of Demolish Defense, Department of Counterculture, Department of the Inferior, the Department of Decadence, the Office of Race-Biased Initiatives, the Office of Anti-Americanism, the Department of Redistribution of Wealth, the Department of Creative Taxation, the Office of Homeland Insecurity, etc.

This president will also establish a new teacup-sized special interest group titled “First Time Proud of My Country” and a new class-envy education initiative entitled Politics of Personal Destruction. His advisers will also have a special duty to raise a wet finger to the wind to warn when a flip-flop is necessary.

So, who needs experience?
