What we need is a kind of R?as?nJugend to help the magazine last into the next thousand years.

[Pro Libertate]

Hire Lobster Girl?

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Now that's some Jugend I can get behind!

[Rhywun]

Der Phrasing!

(PS. Jugend means specifically boy.)

[Rhywun]

Strike that last. Carry on. (I was thinking Junge. Need more Kaffee.)

[wef]

Keep them away from writing headlines.

Does SugarFree need a side job?

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

A side boob job.

OT: For Devos, how about we tell the progs "if you like your public school, you can keep your public school"

Which is actually true, unlike the lies Obama had to say to get Obamacare passed.

*nods approvingly*

[The Other Kevin]

It would be even better if you said you heard that from some guy named Gruber.

I'll comb Robbie's hair for a $125/hour.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Brush.

[Citizen X - #6]

Robbie refuses to pay less than $300 an hour for hair work. You don't put $2 Hunt's ketchup on filet mignon, he explains.

Maybe crib from The Spectator:

Looking for interns, DO NOT send CV.

A few paragraphs in a covering letter introducing yourself and detailing any relevant experience*, will be fine.

To enter, we ask that you complete three or more of the following tasks:

Write eight web headlines for articles in any one issue of the magazine.
Suggest three potential subjects for a Coffee House blog.
Prepare a sample 200-word blog offering a new insight on any topic, aimed at The Spectator's Coffee House blog.
Suggest three people to interview, and explain why they'd be interesting to our readers. Suggest potential interviewers too.
Narrate and compile your own three-minute summary of any Prime Minister's Questions (with clips) and send the MP3 file.
And a research task. Prior to George Osborne's 2012 budget, Polly Toynbee suggested that his slogan 'we're all in this together' was disingenuous. 'If he cuts the top 50p rate, with unemployment rising towards three million, surely even he can't speak the words,' she said. His budget, she added, would 'widen the gaps that make Britain one of the most unequal countries in the OECD'. Was she right? Provide figures.

Damn, no ordered lists? WordPress soon, pls!

Reason Summer Journalism Internship

This is your chance to teach 'Reason Staff' how to do journalism.

[Bacon-Magic et tu Reason?]

Crusty Juggler already has a job.

[Bacon-Magic et tu Crusty?]

Testing new name linkage. This is only a test.

[XenoZooValentine]

If this were an actual emergency, we'd all be dead by now.

[Rothbard'sbitch]

$5000?! I hope the intern gets to bunk on Robbie or Nick's couch otherwise they will need to work another job.
