Senator Ends Treasury's Search For Cartoonist

The chairman of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, Byron Dorgan, has put an end to the Treasury Department's search for a cartoonist who had the "ability to create cartoons on the spot about [Bureau of the Public Debt] jobs." The senator became aware of the opening after a link to the job ad was posted on the Drudge Report. The posting indicated that the cartoonist would need to create presentations for the bureau's management meetings and added, "The contractor shall conduct two, 3-hour Humor in the Workplace programs that will discuss the power of humor in the workplace [and] the close relationship between humor and stress."
