In a move that can only be described as a "Power Play" -Mayor McCheese was named Secretary of the Interior.
There is a resemblance to a certain somebody here. Rather than name names, I'll just beat around the 'bush' and say that the resemblence is
uncanny. For convenience sake we will call this Mayor McCheese doppleganger "GH".
Note that GH has stated his intentions for world domination many times. This appointment is only the beginning. (Even if Mayor McCheese isn't GH; it certainly must be one of his agents or even
an appetizer of things to come.)

Bush Nominates Mayor McCheese for Secretary of the Interior
By Eben Weiss and Scott Bassett
WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a surprise move today, George W. Bush nominated Mayor McCheese for the position of Secretary of the Interior, filling the final cabinet vacancy in his abbreviated transition. The Interior Secretary’s duties range from protection of the nation’s natural resources to administration of national parks. McCheese was an early challenger in Republican primaries, but his candidacy crumbled after a crushing defeat in New Hampshire.
The nomination caught Washington insiders off guard. Up until this week, former Colorado Attorney General Gale Norton was the strong favorite for the position.
Sources close to the President-elect say that Mr. Bush was not merely opposed to Norton’s candidacy, he "threw a fit like a spoiled, rotten brat." Multiple sources maintain that Mr. Bush "kicked and screamed on the floor" and even held his breath until Vice President-elect Dick Cheney allowed Bush to have his way.
Other sources at the transition office said that Mr. Bush was heard shouting "I’m tired of you bossing me around, Mister Cheney! I don’t want that stupid jerk girl! I want Mayor McCheese!"
Attorney General Norton could not be reached for comment.
Mayor McCheese has raised the ire of environmental groups over his views on promoting cheese development on federal lands. McCheese advocates making federal lands accessible to lettuce, special sauce and sesame seed bun interests, and he favors cheese exploration in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
"The Nation’s cheese needs are not being fully met. I whole heartedly support the opening of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for cheese exploration," said McCheese at a Tuesday press conference. "I would also like to take this opportunity to announce that I will ask Grimace to join me as the Under Secretary," he added, " and I plan to work closely with the Fry Guys on genetically modified potatoes."
McCheese is the Mayor of McDonaldland, a heartland city of primarily Scotch-Irish descendents. The "lily white" character of the city has caused some trepidations with minorities. Mayor McCheese was also questioned in 1998 by a grand jury in connection with an investigation of the Hamburglar, but was not indicted. He is likely to face tough questions on these issues in his confirmation hearing. He is, however, likely to be confirmed.
