He’s the New Me

Wednesday, March 24th, 2004

So a while back, I told you I’d be moving on to a policy analyst position here at Cato — just as soon as we found a suitable replacement for my current position as web editor.

Well, we just found one. And it’s none other than co-Agitator and Agitator graphic design department head Brian Kieffer!

Kieffer will be moving to D.C. from Chicago, and will start work at the world’s greatest think tank on April 12.

As I understand it, he’s currently under negotiations to rent the basement apartment in Gene Healy’s house, and will audition for 3rd base on the much-vaunted Cato Running Dogs softball team, coached this year by none other than Brooke Oberwetter.

So yes, Brian has yet to step foot in D.C., and he’s already enmeshed in the incestuous Washington D.C. libertarian social circle.

But Kieffer deserves a hearty congratulations. Cato’s getting a smart and talented guy. Kieffer’s getting a principled and respected employer. And I get to motormouth and have opinions on stuff as my real-life full time job.

Everybody wins!

    Chicago is sorry to lose you Brian. We’ll have to take a return trip to the Lakeview Lounge before you leave. Name the night.

    Oh, but congratulations on the new job. That should not have gone unsaid.

    I’ve always wondered how libertarians can even stand to live in DC.

    He’ll have to fight Margaret for third base.

    Uh oh Brian…now you’ve really gone and done it. Can’t wait for the next blogosphere so I can buy you a drink.

    Good luck and congrats!

    Yeah, what Joe says. I just need a tad over 6 figures, ability to work from home, spend 1/2 my work day surfing web and need time off in the spring and fall for the striper runs. Sound good? See you Monday, well not really, I’ll be working from home on Monday.

    I second Stormy Dragon… how DO you stand living in DC, RadB?
