Edward Tufte Presidential Appointment →

Edward Tufte, on being appointed to the panel that tracks and explains $787 billion in recovery stimulus funds:

I’m doing this because I like accountability and transparency, and I believe in public service. And it is the complete opposite of everything else I do. Maybe I’ll learn something.

I attended an E.T. seminar a two years ago. I’m very sure everyone else is going to learn a lot more.
