The deadline for application is this Thursday, March 26. To apply, send your résumé, up to five writing samples (preferably published clips), and a cover letter to:

Summer internships begin in June, though exact dates are flexible.

You shall know a 1,000 years of terror as you toil in The Jacket's deadly word mines!

[Pro Libertate]

Why do they call them internment camps, anyway?

[Almanian!]

What an awesome idea!

I make up to $90 an hour working from my home. My story is that I quit working at Walmart to work online and with a little effort I easily bring in around $40h to $86h? Someone was good to me by sharing this link with me, so now i am hoping i could help someone else out there by sharing this link... Try it, you won't regret it!......

[Almanian!]

[John Galt]

"Proofreading" I coold do that!

[Tonio]

"proofreading" LOL.

Mr Gillespie, Mr. Gillespie, one of the commenters just found another error in an article. Should we give him a hat-tip?

LOLOLOLOL....

To apply, send your r?sum?, a blue dress, up to five writing samples (preferably published clips), and a cover letter...

[Fist of Etiquette]

Why does the internship have to be gay? Why does everything have to have a sociosexual component these days? Why can't you choose someone without having to meet a progressive quota?

[straffinrun]

Gray is the new gay? Or Burton is the new gay?

[Dark Lord of the Cis]

They have to get at least 2/3 of the Cosmo trifecta in any candidate. Applicants are assumed to be stoned, but few Mexicans could pass the writing test.

[Swiss Servator... Switzy!]

Paging OldMexican...OldMexican to intern courtesy phone, please.

[Tonio]

Did they really make that typo?

[Fist of Etiquette]

No, but I made that joke before.

[Slammer]

You will NOT be tasked with implementing an edit buttton.

[Swiss Servator... Switzy!]

Sad, but true.

By "published" do you mean that they've been tweeted or posted on an unread blog?

[Cdr Lytton]

Sure, and the writing samples don't have to be yours either. Besides, the real qualification is reposting old stories all weekend long. Deleting the old comments before reposting gets a callback for next summer.

[Almanian!]

1) I read that as "send up to five urine samples"

Seems legit...FOR A MAGAZINE CALLED "REASON"!!!

2) I'd apply myself, BUT THINGS WERE SO MUCH BETTER THERE WHEN POSTREL WAS AROUND.

I'm drinking, I'm drinking.
