Presidential Succession

Reference has been made in past posts that if the POTUS and VPOTUS should meet their untimely demise Queen Pelosi would then be the top bow-wow. I figure that if she does assume the position we're all in heap big trouble so why worry. She'll be five miles underground telling some 19 year old kid to stock up on the botox. Secondarily, she might trying firing some weapons unless Obama had them put in cold storage. Here's hoping she has the correct coordinates. Thermonuclear warheads with the boomerang effect can be murder. As for us schlebs up top, we'll be vaporized. That would be one heck of a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere. The wackos would be wackier. Which brings us to this scenario: no more Al Gore gabbing about global warming. Can you picture him as he listens to the thirty minute warning to seek shelter? He's got a fork in each hand. One is holding a Jimmy Dean pure pork sausage and the other is shoveling in flapjacks; "Tipper, six more and hurry". Maybe he'll be down at the IHOP. What a way to go.
Another advantage; very few liberals. Granted, it's a steep price to pay but death does have its positives.
The reason for this post is I thought you'd like to see the list for our current presidential succession that was implemented in 1947. So, here goes nuthin.
VP-Joe 'loose lips' Biden; Speaker of the House-Nancy 'I can't shut my eyes' Pelosi; president pro-tem of the Senate-Robert 'dead man walking' Byrd; Sec. of Treasury-Tim 'I'm a tax cheat' Geithner; Sec. of Defense-Robert Gates(holdover from Bush Admin-drives liberals nuts); Attorney General- Eric 'pardons for cash' Holder; Sec. of Interior-Ken Salazer; Sec. of Agriculture-Tom 'never been on a farm' Vilsack; Sec. of Commerce-Who knows; Sec. of Labor-Hilda 'I'm a socialist and we haven't paid our taxes,either' Solis; Health and Human Services-Tom 'oops, tax cheat and gone' Daschle
I only did the top ten. We'd have to get to number fifteen to name General Eric Shinseki.
Forget about nuclear war. Let's pretend we have an influenza pandemic. That's more than possible. We lost 20 million souls in 1918 due to it; some in my own family. So, Barry and Joe bite the dust and Pelosi takes over. The possibilities are endless. After awhile when things settle down, Conan O'Brien and Letterman would have a field day with the lady who, not once, but twice told us that 500 million Americans a month were losing their jobs. Nuff said!
