Full disclosure - I now work for Richardson

Posted June 1, 2007 - 5:11pm by Expat Teacher

This will surprise exactly no one, but I thought I should put this out there. I'm going from volunteering for Governor Richardson's presidential campaign to working as a DC-based intern for his campaign this summer.

I don't know the GWH rule on posting for a candidate I now have a vested interest in, but I'm going to keep highlighting Governor Richardson's qualifications for the presidency until I'm told to stop.

In case you've missed it, here is another reason - An Energy Revolution!

  • Cut Oil Demand: 50% by 2020
  • Create New Efficiencies And Energy Sources in the Electrical Sector: 50% by 2040
  • Dramatically Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions: 90% by 2050
  • Lead By Example and Restore America as the World's Leader
  • Get It All Done Without Breaking the Bank
  • Invite the Oil Companies to Become Energy Companies

This is awesome

On so many levels!

A Dutch TV contest which purported to show a dying woman choose a patient to receive her kidneys was a hoax...The three knew that The Big Donor Show, which aired on Friday, was not real. The producers say it was made to highlight the shortage of Dutch donors.

First, what a fabulous way to get people's attention for a real problem. Bring the issue of lack of organ donors home to people as both a game show and with 3 personal stories.

Second, I know several American friends that have written off the Dutch as immoral bastards with no sense of right and wrong because they have legalized prostitution and marijuana. I know one that was telling me how this was another example of how the entire country was truly of Satan. I look forward to watching him eat a little crow.
