Exciting New Job Opportunities!

I know the economy is doing poorly in the U.S. and much of the rest of the world, so as a public service I thought I’d pass along these job positions that have opened up very recently. Maybe someone here can take advantage of one of these unusual opportunities. And if any of you know of other positions opening, perhaps you can post them here.

I have no idea what your post said, I only scanned it. I'm guessing it was intended to be humourous.

In the last week or so, the Clinic has gone all over the place, including 'the full genius', so satire has generally lost all meaning.

I would like to recommend myself for cycling union president. Give me unlimited power, no responsability and a generous salary, and I shall quickly transform into a mad dictator. I am able to generate contradicting statements in a tempo that no sports jounalist can keep up with. My first initiative would be to replace the biological passport system with a giant wheel of fortune made of solid gold. This would be a more fair way of determining who should be banned from cycling, and save money as well. If you want to support my campaign please donate bottles of irish whiskey to the members of the comittee in my name.
