Calling All Clowns

At least when Obama's through destroying the private sector, there will still be a few government jobs — like this one, from the Treasury Department's FedBizOpps.gov:
The purpose of this announcement is to seek qualified contractors with the capability to provide presentations for The Department of Treasury, Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD), Management Meeting with experience in meeting the objectives as described herein.
The Contractor shall conduct two, 3-hour, Humor in the Workplace programs that will discuss the power of humor in the workplace, the close relationship between humor and stress, and why humor is one of the most important ways that we communicate in business and office life. Participants shall experience demonstrations of cartoons being created on the spot.
They wanted Joe Biden for the position, but he's already got that court jester gig at the White House.
The Treasury Department offers a promising career path for clowns, as Tim the Tax Cheat Geithner has proven. Particularly gifted jokesters may be called upon to draft fiscal policy.
In Washington, clowns will always be in demand (via Photoshop Bandit).
