Oh. My. God.

They're bringing back Reason24/7!!!

[AlmightyJB]

Trump 24/7? It's about time.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

Serious question. Has a commenter ever been hired by Reason and would the person admit it?

[AlmightyJB]

I would like to go ahead and give my recommendation for this position to Agile Cyborg.

[Rufus The Monocled]

I can spell.

NO CANADIANS

[The Late P Brooks]

Will there be meetings?

[Rich]

The editor will be responsible for commissioning freelance articles ... and helping to chart the direction, tone, and growth of the site.

I believe Debbie Wasserman Schultz may be available.

[creech]

Cocktail party invites if editor tows the lion?

[simple man]

Yep. That's one of the French benefits.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

I ain't messing with no lion.

[Brochettaward]

...have a strong affinity with our highly engaged reader community.

Meaning they better be able to handle the verbal abuse from Reason's idiot peanut gallery.

[Citizen X]

Ugh. I was gonna apply, but never mind.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

No, you are a straight shooter with a proven record of getting snark done. We need you in the comments section.

[Zero Sum Game]

That's a little unfair. The verbal abuse isn't often coming from the dumbest of the readership. 😀

The dumbest of the readers are too busy being eaten alive by the other commentators and usually can't tell. That's half of what makes the comments section so entertaining.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Your face is the dumbest of the readers.

[Zero Sum Game]

Stop. My penis can only get so erect.

[Chipper Morning Wood]

Peyronie's disease?

[commodore sees your every move]

News Editor? You mean links bitch?

[Free Society]

Obviously ENB and Robby aren't cut out for that kind of grueling work.

[Agammamon]

The ideal candidate will share Reason's "Free Minds and Free Markets" perspective, have a strong affinity with our highly engaged reader community, and a track record of building online presence and impact. He or she will a news junkie with wide-ranging interests and a voracious appetite for all sorts of new and old media.

Ability to proofread is not required.

[C. Anacreon]

That just shows they need an editor really soon. Clever subtle advertising!

[Fist of Etiquette]

He or she will what a news junkie? WILL WHAT A NEWS JUNKIE? Is this going to be another Saw situation at Reason?

[Rhywun]

all sorts of new and old media

Way to dogwhistle for a millenial.

[Free Society]

What they don't tell you is that the position is actually that of a glorified shampoo boy for The Hair.

[The Fusionist]

"a track record of building online presence and impact."

It's like they had me specifically in mind.

Sure, I'd love to improve your news coverage.

You're going to love my suggestions.

NO CATHOLICS
