Unemployment Goes Down Among Former Attorneys General Named Alberto Gonzales
With all the grim unemployment data that's been floating around, you've probably been asking yourself one question: "How is former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales holding up in this recession?" Remember, he'd been having a dickens of a time finding a new job, for some reason, after getting downsized, for some reason, from his last one.
Well, good news! Ex-AG A.G. has got himself a new gig, at Texas Tech University…
Gonzales will work to recruit minority students for the Lubbock-based college's diversity office and teach a junior-level political science seminar on "Contemporary Issues in the Executive Branch," according to a statement from Texas Tech.
"I am excited that Alberto Gonzales is bringing his experience to Texas Tech," Kent Hance, Texas Tech's chancellor, said in the statement. "His own upbringing in Houston as part of a migrant family with eight children makes him qualified to tell underrepresented Texas students that college is possible."
And, of course, he'll relate especially well to the underrepresented Texas students who dream of growing up to erode privacy, stifle free speech, expand the limits of executive privilege and trample the Geneva Convention.
At least let's hope they're underrepresented.

Texas is cold storage for the Bushies, encased in glass inside a mountain if they're smart.
And the faculty, students and many alumni are incensed about this. Interesting the conversation about the job occurred in April while the spring term was in session, but the hiring occurred during the summer when students and faculty are on vacation.
Those who have called the Chancellor's Office or the Ex-Students Association to protest have been treated rudely.
The responses at web news sources have drawn outrage from everyone.
More national attention needs to be drawn to this stupid decision
