Dream Dinner Guests

There is always that question that gets asked: If you could have dinner with any person living or dead who would it be? I thought why not just have a dinner party. The typical large dinner party is of twelve, so I will choose 11 people living or dead with whom I wish to dine.

Here they are in no particular order:

Jesus

John of Patmos

Mother Teresa

Pope John Paul II

Alexander the Great

Queen Elizabeth I

Hillary Clinton

Agatha Christie

Henry James

C.S. Lewis

Tom Cuff

Obama Cabinet

I thought it would be interesting to hypothesize the members of a President Obama's Cabinet.

We'll go in order of presidential succession:

Secretary of State - Governor Bill Richardson

Secretary of Treasury - Former Secretary Robert Rubin

Secretary of Defense - Senator Chuck Hagel

Attorney General - Governor Janet Napolitano

Secretary of the Interior - Former Vice-President Al Gore

Secretary of Agriculture - Senator Dick Lugar

Secretary of Commerce - Amy Domini

Secretary of Labor - Former Representative David Bonior

Secretary of Health and Human Services - Governor Bill Ritter

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development - Senator Chris Dodd

Secretary of Transportation - Governor Ed Rendell

Secretary of Energy - Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

Secretary of Education - Wendy Kopp

Secretary of Veteran Affairs - Representative Chet Edwards

Secretary of Homeland Security - Representative Bennie Thompson

Random Selection of Films

Just thought I would share the films I watched this weekend:

Marvin's Room

Interview

Le Samourai

Into the Wild

Rocket Science

Straight Talk

Double Indemnity (1973 TV version)

It's quite a random selection of films, but those of y'all that know me know that my taste in general is random. All were thought-provoking, although not all were enjoyed.
