me: wish me luck in what will no doubt be a disastrous but interesting career in politics me: they've got a lot of open positions, so I just sent off e-mails to the chair and a committee member me: I'm going to out-Buckley William Buckley me: I'm applying for a position with the Libertarian Party of New York Karen: Wow! Wow! Exciting! You need to go get your blazer cleaned for an interview! Karen: Let's see: position papers, white papers, press releases, marketing copy, blogs, opinion columns, speechwriting, not to mention book author of political humor/ pop culture commentary. Karen: Your bio on the texodusmedia site looks good enough for any group. Have you done any speechwriting? I think I would mention that you can do it (even if you haven't officially). Karen: Well, you certainly have the chops for any gig with them. me: potential fficers are voted upon electronically me: they do everything via the internet me: libertarians don't do interviews me: heh me: and now, it looks like I'm about to be appointed to some position or another at GAMPAC, the Godless Americans Political Action Committee. Probably won't be money in this, but I'd say it's a pretty good coup. me: suffice to say that it will be of more benefit than blowing a week writing nonsense at CreateDebate for some phantom position me: yeah, I know, but GAPAC won't take much time Karen: Well, hope you don't waste TOO much time with something that doesn't have much presence. The Libertarian group sounds like a better springboard to success.
