I tried to get Langdon Winner to throw his hat in the ring for the Secretary of Technology post Obama promised to create. He seemed to think he had no chance, but really, who knows more about the interplay of science and politics than Langdon?

Haha, no. Somehow I doubt this is a full-time position in the slightest. Shirley Ann's on like ten other boards - this is nothing new.

Does this mean we'll find out if Shirley has any tax problems, delinquent taxes, or the like?

=P

That's probably a qualification for the job. :P

Great...more things more important than RPI for Jackson to pay attention to. Faugh.

zrealm April 28 2009, 02:05:15 UTC

Are you sure it isn't better off this way? Jackson is actually pretty good, except when she tries to meddle in internals...

contradictacat April 28 2009, 02:57:26 UTC

Ooh, good point. Ok then. Fly, Jackson, fly!
