Heard: Captain Trade to the Rescue?

This happened last summer, but at the time I was unfamiliar with this blog. Last summer we were receiving a lot of calls on cap and trade, as I'm sure many offices were. After fielding several calls from slightly angry constituents, one of our interns approached me with a humorous question:
"I have a question. I'm talking to a lot of people who are mad at Captain Trade. Who is that and what did he do?"

  1. This did not happen last summer. It’s probably just that it took you an entire year to make up something pseudo-witty/funny so you could post it on this blog. Congratulations, you made it! A years’ worth of effort well placed. Can't wait for you to post something that "happened" this summer next year. Holding my breath....

  2. If there's anything better than interns being ridiculous, it's other interns twisting themselves in knots to avenge their brethren who have been ridiculous.

  4. Fellow staffer here of the person that sent this in. People often call in and say that they are against something, usually because some organization has called them and made them afraid of it. They sometimes don't know the details as to why, so they just say, "I'm against cap and trade" for example and that's all they've got. So this is feasible if you have the right person on this end of the phone. I'm a witness that this comment, believe it or not, happened...
