Opening for a masochist

The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, is looking for a staff attorney on the employment site Green Dream Jobs. (Note to readers in southern Utah: You're probably more familiar with SUWA through the popular bumper sticker that depicts Calvin whizzing on "SUWA.")

SUWA sees its mission as the management of public lands in their natural state, i.e. not dotted with oil derricks and coal mines or criss-crossed with tire tracks.

It's a great job. You'll get to meet state Rep. Mike Noel, R-Kanab, and the Utah Association of Counties, who delight in leftie litigators who "focus on energy development, off-road vehicles, and BLM land use planning." You'll be based in Salt Lake City — about as far as possible from the wilderness you'll protect and, more to the point, Mike Noel.

All you have to do is pass the Utah bar, demonstrate your love of wilderness and commit for two years of being dispised by every off-road vehicle driver and enduring the evil thoughts of Kane County Commissioner Mark Habbeshaw.

SUWA offers competitive salary and a health plan (you may need it).

As a SUWA staffer in southern Utah, I think this post is pretty darned funny! I find I get along well with many in the community if we meet on the level of individuals and leave all the freight of anger and sterotyping behind. Ironically, Mike Noel probably spends most of his time in SLC trying to get Utah taxpayers to bail out Kane County's quixotic and mostly losing legal wrangles trying to undermine Grand Staircase.
