In the spirit of tomorrow's Move Your Money Day, I'm happy to bring a story that shows off just how admirable and community-oriented credit unions can be. You see, a friend of my wife posted a pretty interesting picture today:

Okay, the picture's a little fuzzy, so I'll explain. Our friend Will is a student, activist, and an officer in the Queer Advocacy Network at the University of Wyoming. The background of the picture is a laminated newspaper clipping, I think from the Laramie Boomerang, showing Will walking in a DADT repeal march that QAN organized earlier this year. In front of the clipping is a note from its sender, UniWyo Federal Credit Union. It reads:

Will,
Thanks for all you do in our community. Keep up the good work!

Your Friends at UniWyo FCU

I have admittedly been experiencing some cognitive dissonance regarding the recent rash of the right-wing crazies threatening Democratic politicians who supported the HCR bill. I do not believe that the threat of violence against anybody has any place within political discourse, but I also am extremely uncomfortable with how acts of vandalism against Democratic congresspeople are so freely labeled as "terrorism" in this community.

Follow me past the fold for further musings.

I guess everybody has heard now that Texas Tech University is hiring Alberto Gonzales for a year term as a political science professor, teaching a course in "contemporary issues in the executive branch." As a TTU alum, I took it upon myself to write a letter to the president and the chancellor and let them know my thoughts. A copy of the letter is below.
