CHICAGO -- Today, President-elect Barack Obama officially nominated The Great Gazoo as Secretary of Health and Human Services and named him the Director of a new White House Office on Health Care Reform. "The Great Gazoo's wisdom, insight and discretion has been vital to me and this transition team as we have sought a path towards bipartisanism and change. He's been invaluable. As we seek to repair this country's failing health care system, I can think of no one greater than Gazoo to helm this department as we face this challenge. Also, Gazoo oversaw similar reform on his home planet of Zatox until, of course, he accidentally created a doomsday machine. At this time, I will take a few questions. Wow... lot of hands...."
I like to think of this as Gazoo's second chance, after being passed over by Bernanke for Federal Reserve Chair. One wonders how much better off we'd be today if only they'd have listened to Mr. Greenspan's choice then.
