Ok, One More...

Also from James Taranto's column today:

You want credentials? Joseph Pflanz has credentials. Ideas, too. Innovative, cutting-edge ideas. About the only thing Joseph Pflanz doesn't have is a job. Thank goodness for the rest of us, because that means Joseph Pflanz has plenty of time on his hands to write letters to the editor. And the editors of the Tallahassee (Fla.) Democrat have seen fit to publish a letter of his, putting forward an innovative, cutting-edge idea on how to get someone like Joseph Pflanz a job:

Unemployment is about to go through the roof, just when we need people to be productive and increase consumer spending to aid the economy.
My suggestion is for all employers to put a moratorium on hiring already employed people. Only hire the unemployed.
Rather than moving a "hole" around by just making another opening to be filled, and never getting to full staff, get the position filled and help the economy.
If you are mentoring or grooming an individual, then go ahead and promote that person first, and then post that person's old position as open. If you have a job, give the rest of us a break, and let us compete for openings.
I have three college degrees, 25 years of experience, and I cannot get a job in Tallahassee.

Betcha none of those degrees are in economics.

(From BNF: Betcha all three of those degrees say "FSU" on them too!)
