Career and Residence

[bigscary]

As some of you know, I've had job issues lately, as well as housing issues. After careful deliberation, I have accepted a paid internship at the Reason Foundation. It doesn't pay a lot, but it will cover my expenses, allow me to work on important policy issues (I expect to do a lot of the research for amicus briefs, and I'm told I can anticipate writing one or two, as well as a credited article in Reason Magazine by the end of the year), and with luck lead to a better-paying fellowship either there or at the Cato Institute or Heritage Foundation.

Of course, this will necessitate a move, but I've always wanted to move to beautiful Los Angeles. I'm not sure, but I think I'll be able to afford a car (I'm thinking an Explorer), and something with a nice lawn for a dog to play in. Of course, moving, especially cross-country, can be expensive, but since I'm not obligated to pay taxes to the illegal government of Baquack Hussein ibn-Osama, that's going to be fine.

Talk to you all from the west coast!

It's ok bigscary, we all know you're really moving out to LA to join your former classmate, and former governor hopeful, in "the biz". If you bump into him, tell Ron I say "Hi".

Oh my god, for a second there I held my breath. Very well-written, my friend.

But really, I agree- "the biz" needs someone like you, BSD! You can't let us stop you from following your dreams!

This'll hurt you more than it'll hurt me...

We know it's a joke because:

a) you're blogging
b) the post isn't cryptic enough!

b, mostly. If bigscary were actually moving to LA, we'd get a one-line blurb about smog being ugly at best.

Well I guess Q gets her puppy now!

Since I didn't know the Reason Foundation, you had me until Cato.

you had me for about five seconds, at which point i'd gotten as far as the "reason foundation" link. then my head asploded and the recoil bounced my eyes over to the date....
