Gonzales Gets a Job
By Kate Klonick - June 6, 2008, 5:42PM
Since leaving the Department of Justice in the fall-out over the U.S attorney scandal, former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has had a little trouble finding work.


From Bloomberg:

Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who was forced from his job amid a controversy over the firings of federal prosecutors, has been hired to provide assistance to a special master on a patent case.
Gonzales will help former U.S. District Judge Layn R. Phillips oversee settlement talks in the case of a Texas company which claims banks such as Wells Fargo & Co., Citigroup Inc.'s Citibank and Bank of America Corp. are violating its patents for taking and transmitting digital images of checks.

1. It is an affront to all creation...

That this new job's description did not contain the phrase "Deep Fat Fryer".

[But....]

6. ....

:wow: :rofl:

[w13rd0]

2. Lol!

No, I'm not trying to patent scanning and transmission of images, just the scanning and transmission of images of checks.

You know, I think I'm going to patent the scanning and transmission of images of checks where the check number ends with a 0.

I'll follow that up with a patent on the scanning and transmission of images of checks done on a plain or patterened background, but not floral or other artsy prints.

5. really - how absurd

3. We have permanent work in mind for Gonzales

It's in the license plate manufacturing industry. He'll work on the assembly line.

7. First he has to mop floors

and scrub the skid marks out of the crappers.

4. Not exactly on the up and up, I'd say. nt
