Another physicist in Congress
Thanks to a special election to fill the IL-14 seat of former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, there is another physicist in Congress, Bill Foster. Good for him. We need more civic scientists.

Sadly, I think that the first criterion is to become independently wealthy.
Well, any person is more than his CV, but I have to say: Rush Holt has done well by us so far. So yes, more physicists in Congress!
I dream of a day when this great Nation of our might even elect a physicist to the Presidency...
