- Me—you’re god damned right me! It’s my list, and I want to have some power. Plus, I took some science classes in school, and am generally considered to be intelligent. You can trust me…..I promise ;)
- Wilfred Brimley—this old bastard is on my television all of the time talking up the old people. I would trust that he would do the right thing. Who else would know better about pulling the plug on someone than a guy who has to make this decision on himself every week or so?
- Alan Alda—he’s not a doctor, although he has played one on TV. I feel strongly that we need someone from the medical profession on this thing. He has all the credentials I need.
- Sarah Palin—we need a “maverick” on this panel. Plus she could give us a personal opinion on how to handle the clinically insane.
- Simon Cowell—he sounds smart because of that British accent, plus we can use someone with a no nonsense attitude that will tell it like it is.
I think this is one hell of a group, and perfectly capable of making the right decisions. I’m not saying we won’t pull the plug on the wrong people from time to time, I mean nobody is perfect. But it’s hard to put together the first ever death panel.
If any of you have better candidates or ideas, I’d like to hear them. Until then, I’m going to brush up on my Biology 101.
I think, in our entertainment obsessed culture, that we need a few superstars on the panel to encourage youths to get involved in politics.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, I suggest either Britney, Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, the cast of High School Musical or that bloke who played the vampire in Twilight.
Or perhaps, just the above and cut out anyone else. And then televise the live final. Oh I wish I lived in America, you guys have all the fun.
