a bright idea!

Governor Schwarzenegger creates a new cabinet position in Cali, Secretary of Volunteering and Service? Um, awesome. The only downside is that now what you see below can no longer really be called "subversive citizen beach-cleaning."

Hillary Clinton was talking about establishing an academy for public service similar to the other military service academies already in place; I said the only bad thing about that idea is that she didn't establish it before I went to college.

that's interesting. i guess my only concern is that when The Man starts to coopt something that's cool, the coolness of it often dwindles.

i'm not saying that i necessarily think that a public service academy would be un-cool. obama has some interesting ideas about "making public service cool again," too. i think that's actually a direct quote.

not meant to be an obama plug (as if i hadn't already made my allegiance to him abundantly clear), but just observing that this seems to be a trend..?
