    Hubert wants to tax financial transactions to shutdown day trading? Why? Sure, day trading sounds crazy to me, and I wouldn't do it, but day trading had nothing to do with the current crisis, and as far as I know, every study shows that the only people hurt by day trading are day traders. It's another case of someone who thinks that "icky" should be illegal.

    The cover letter excerpts are hilarious. I'm no fan of judging people by their writing or speaking abilities—those are learned skills, not indicators of innate intelligence—but when you're applying for an advertising job, you really should know how the language works.
