Wow, it really is some job market out there. Alberto Gonzales resigned his post as U.S. attorney general not quite two years ago under less than rosy circumstances. Gonzales has now found a new gig, teaching political science at Texas Tech.

Chancellor Kent Hance says Gonzales got a one-year deal to teach a course on contemporary issues in the executive branch. From the Houston Chronicle:

"We're excited," Hance said. "Any time you can get a former Cabinet member ... it is great."

I don't know about you, but I can't help thinking of all the times I've lately heard people with a job to offer. They keep saying they can hire any superstar they want.
