Who should fill the other positions?

On facebook people commented:

• “Drop Grayson & replace with Russ Feingold.”
• “Pierre Trudeau has a more diverse cabinet and I think Bernie should too.”
• “Robert Reich is a must have.”
• “Secretary of Labor Robert Reich.”
• “EPA: Erin Brockovich or Robert Kennedy Jr.”
• “Jim Web, Sec. State; Wesley Clark, Department of Defense; Dennis Kucinich, Sec. Commerce; Nassim Taleb, Sec. Treasury; Elizabeth Warren, Sec. Energy; Jesse Ventura, Vice President (because no one in the corporatocracy is going to want to see him as president.)”
• “John Stewart- Press Secretary”
• “Keith Olbermann SEC”
• Where’s the spot for Neil Tyson DeGrasse and Bill Nye?
• Bill Moyers, VP
• I’d maybe swap out Alan Grayson for Secretary of Defense. As much as I love him, he’s a little too pro-Netanyahu for my taste.
• “Rachael Madow press secretary”
• “Rush Holt, Department of Energy; Feingold in there somewhere; Barbara Boxer, Secretary of Interior; Bill Richardson, Secretary of State; Laura Tyson, economic advisor”
• Walter Kloefkorn suggested:
  

  Secretary of State — Barbara Lee, if not VP; Dennis Kucinich (or Elizabeth);
  Secretary of the Treasury —Michael Hudson;
  Secretary of Defense — Winslow Wheeler;
  Attorney General — Keith Ellison (inspired choice Don);
  Secretary of the Interior — Raul Grijalva (the Grand Canyon would be safe);
  Secretary of Agriculture — My heart says Wendell Berry, but I doubt he’d take the job, former Texas Ag Commissioner Jim Hightower or Fred Kirschenmann;
  Secretary of Commerce — Nick Hannauer
  Secretary of Labor — Larry Cohen, former CWA president, or Richard Trumka;
  Secretary of Health and Human Services — Patty Murray (or Veterans Affairs);
  Secretary of Housing and Urban Development — Rev. WIlliam Barber
  Secretary of Transportation — James Howard Kunstler;
  Secretary of Energy — Maria Cantwell;
  Secretary of Education Karen Lewis;
  Secretary of Veterans Affairs — Jim Webb
  Secretary of Homeland Security — Stephen Cohen
  Bonus picks-
  VP — Barbara Lee;
  Surgeon General — Our country needs a psychiatrist, Jim McDermott. He could lead the push for single payer;
  National Security Advisor — Ray McGovern;
  Tom Geoghegan would be worthy of Labor or AG consideration.
  U.S Special Trade Representative — Lori Wallach
