6. Convince George Lucas to cast her as Evil Yoda in the next Star Wars movie [Mas…]

“I kept out and quashed as many Mexicans as any DHS Secretary could during my tenure, and now that Latinos are overtaking whites in California, I promise to do the same at the UC system,” she said in a statement. [Mas…]
