Jack Lew, President Obamas reported pick to replace outgoing Treasury secretary Tim Geithner, is known as a no-nonsense backroom negotiator with wonkish tendencies, who is admired on the left and grumbled about on the right.
A lesser-known but extremely pertinent fact about Lew is that he has the worlds worst signature. And pretty soon, that signature could be on every single one of your dollar bills.
I kind of like it...

I cannot imagine caring what the man's signature looks like.

In June 2006, Lew was named chief operating officer of Citigroup's Alternative Investments unit, a proprietary trading group. The unit he oversaw invested in a hedge fund "that bet on the housing market to collapse."[21]

I kinda prefer people who see things clearly and get it right to run the Treasury.

He showed that Geithner's signature was equally bad, but for the currency he cleaned it up into a neat, legible, and totally different signature. Lew will do the same, I'm sure.

I'll bet he will do what his predecessor did, and come up with a legible signature.

Hostess cupcakes are just terrible for your health.
Yet, somehow, I feel hungry.
