He has lectured at several universities in the area on government contracts and on the history of foreign aid. For a brief period that ended recently, he performed stand-up comedy in the DC area, achieving a modicum of press attention: A radio station in Wyoming found a clip of him commenting on Wyoming’s outsized political influence by way of the Senate and the Electoral College; the station disagreed with the premise, but observed, “He’s not half bad.”
