Off-Topic: A Career Change You Don't Want

In case you've never heard of it, the Web site Wonkette is a blog covering politics, social shenanigans and other issues of importance in Washington, D.C. Among other things, that makes them more cynical than we are. But they pointed out the kind of job posting you'll never see here, along with wondering just who in DC would go to Careerbuilder for this kind of thing in the first place. Here's the ad, and Wonkette's missive is here.
