I was too shy too ask you directly for a rebuttal to Mr. Baker, so it is a treat to see that you found this mention of you online and were willing to go out on a limb for me. We haven't communicated in months, and I hope all is well with the talented Foer Family. I see you have been very busy at <a href="http://www.antitrustinstitute.org/" rel="nofollow">AAI</a> advising DOJ and now President-elect Obama. Keep up the good work, and I hope they listen. I promise not to tell anyone that you actually hired me three times back at the FTC at the Bureau of Competition. I hadn't discovered haiku back in those days. And, neither had you. thanks again.

To be honest, I wouldn't want to have a life, a wife, or a child that wouldn't have done something to occasionally embarrass an Administration. I have faith in the Obama Crew to overlook a lot of potential headaches and blushes in order to employ the best women and men to help in the cause.

How many good and fertile minds will be lost by this questionaire? I know of one for sure. I expect there will be more.
