me: word, thanks
Andrew: I've done all I can, I'll casually ask about it if I get the opportunity]
Andrew: they may push back until february - there's a general hiring freeze until then, not sure if this position qualifies
Andrew: not sure yet
me: what's the story with the writing job?
me: right, that's what I'm saying
Andrew: but im sure they will at least contact you if they are at all interested
Andrew: I cant make them hire if they arent allowed to hire, after all

Andrew: and providing much lulz for all
Andrew: and on redstate, there's this article abotu how its a huge scandal that "not only are quesitons being censored", they are being ensored by "private citizens" not associated with the website or the obama transition team

Andrew: they set up this digg-style question and answer forum
Andrew: so, at the obama transition team website
Andrew: lolol

Andrew: we can do the straw man argument all day
Andrew: invade iraq, they said
me: you should go read them
me: yeah, there are some great articles from 1902 about how mechanical flight is impossible, too
Andrew: which is an argument I hadnt seen before
Andrew: but also about how the science behind how they would supposedly work is fundamentally flawed
Andrew: which is old hat
Andrew: about how they are complete science fiction and totally infeasible from an engineering perspective
Andrew: there was a great article about space elevators in scientific american
Andrew: oh, that reminds me
me: now we can have space elevators ftw

Andrew: imagine, a real scientist in charge of science policy
