What should Hillary Clinton do next?
-

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is set to leave her post, giving way to US Senator John Kerry. What’s next for the woman who has held the title of first lady, US senator, and secretary of state? There’s plenty of serious debate going around on the topic (we will not mention 2016) — but not here. Rather, we decided to speculate on some of the more fun things Clinton could do in the coming weeks, months, and years.

Exact revenge on Amy Poehler

Burlington-born comic actress and former “Saturday Night Live’’ cast member Amy Poehler regularly impersonated Hillary Clinton on SNL. In fact once, Clinton showed up on the long-running late-night show to match wits with Poehler. That gave us an idea.

Replace Poehler on ‘Parks and Recreation’

Let’s face it. Clinton has more than enough real-world leadership experience to pull-off the role of Leslie Knope, a department head in a fictional Indiana town. Then again, maybe Hillary would prefer the Big Screen, in which case…
-
Star in ‘Baby Mama 2’

Clinton and Fey in a major motion picture? Actually, on second thought…
-
They should never, ever make ‘Baby Mama 2’

So really, just forget about that idea. It’s an awful idea, actually. All you movie producers out there, just don’t even consider making a sequel to “Baby Mama,’’ OK? Not with Hillary Clinton, Hillary Duff, Hilary Swank, nor anyone else. Just don’t. Moving on.

Take over the internet

“Texts from Hillary’’ was a short-lived Tumblr page that took the web by storm. Inspired by a photo of a serious-looking Clinton checking her phone, the site juxtaposed that photo with others and added clever captions. If a fake “Texts from Hillary’’ could be so successful, imagine what a real one would do to the Internet.

Kick Donald Trump’s _ _ _

The Donald would never allow it, but seriously… can you imagine Hillary Clinton as a contestant on “The Apprentice’’? It wouldn’t even be fair. She’d make Trump and everyone else forget all about Omarosa… which, really… wouldn’t be a bad thing.
-
Dancing with the Stars

Probably not as much fun as “The Apprentice,’’ but really, how hard could it be? She shouted down a congressional committee a couple of weeks ago — do you think she’d have any trouble with Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, or Bruno Tonioli?
-
Be the next Oprah

This picture is from a 1996 appearance by Clinton on the Oprah Winfrey Show. With the daytime talk field wide open these days, maybe Hillary wants a couch of her own.
-
Do a dance on ‘Yo Gabba Gabba’

Parents of young children are with us here — Hillary could join notables like Elijah Wood (pictured) and Mya who have appeared on the popular show and made up a dance.
-
Go back to Wellesley

Clinton is a graduate of the local women’s college, and could return in some capacity — resident, perhaps? (D’oh, we weren’t going to mention the p-word in this gallery).
-
Or, just come back for the marathon

Imagine if Hillary joined the Wellesley students who line the Boston Marathon parade route offering encouragement (and kisses) to the runners….
-
‘Good Wife’?

Back to television for a moment. Could Mrs. Clinton parlay her law degree — and reputation as a wife who stood by her man during difficult times — into a role on the CBS legal drama?
-
A return to a former address?

Lastly she could, well — you know.
