Jonesin' for Jones

I have two pieces of very exciting news.

Firstly, Van Jones was appointed Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation for the Obama administration. For those of you that don’t know of Van Jones, he is a social justice and environmental activist that founded Green For All, a nonprofit dedicated to solving our two biggest problems at once: unemployment & climate change. He’s been lecturing, teaching, and organizing a movement to lift people out of poverty by creating green jobs for inner-city low-income folks. He also wrote a book on the subject “Green Collar Economy” which, I’m ashamed to say, I’ve never actually read. He is also really, really hot. And really, really married. Frownie face

The other piece of exciting news is that I finally put a posting up on my friend, Nick’s, blog: Triple Pundit. It was this good news about Van Jones that inspired me to finally write something. Check out my posting here. It was hard for me to get away from the fact that I have a massive crush on Van Jones. Basically, Nick is lucky I didn’t write the whole post about how hot an Obama-Jones sandwich would be. Yum.
