Below is my application:

Dear President Obama,

I am applying for the position of Justice of the Supreme Court. I am a Jewish woman living in California, way outside my home state of New York. I'm fluent in Yiddish.

My mother is a Democrat, my husband is a Republican, my daughter is an Independent. They can all testify to my excellent persuasive skills in that I've never lost an argument.

As you can imagine, I have over ten years of experience with empathy and understanding, especially in the area of law as it pertains to our family.

Politically, I voted for Nixon, then became a Libertarian in 1980. I joined the Republican party in order to run for City Council, and after losing the election, returned to the LP. Much like Ron Paul, except in reverse.

Willing to re-locate and change my political party affiliation if necessary.

Attached in my resume. I'm available for an interview at your convenience.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Raven West, JD

Raven, LOL! You have surely brightened my day! :)

If Supreme Court Justice were an elected position, I'd vote for you as many times as necessary on a rigged black box machine. :) Although I'm not sure how succesful I might be, since I keep clicking the "Thumbs" icon on this article, but the stupid computer will only register one "Thumb" no matter how often I click it!

The single flaw I could possibly point out in your article is that of referring to "Obama" as "President" - I think the jury is still out on that. Perhaps if you are seated on The Court, you could hold Barry's feet to the fire and make him pony up some legitimate documents to prove that he was born in the USA.

Keep on writing girl, you rock! :)

With admiration,

I got a good chuckle out of that one too.  :-)

My guess is that you're over qualified for the job.
