About Us
- DC Summer Interns
- This blog is dedicated to those DC residents who eagerly await (or completely dread) Intern Season. Essential to the function of offices in DC, interns are willing to complete tasks that are often considered undesirable. For many interns, this blog will not apply. For those interns to whom it does apply, we hope that you use these anecdotes to change your behavior and, eventually, change the stigma attached to DC interns. *PLEASE NOTE: As with the viral nature of the Internet, many offices are concerned about anonymity and poor reflections upon them - please be assured that no office or individual will ever be singled out. This blog operates under complete anonymity and will never be of a libelous nature; it will never post any identifying information including, but not limited to: place of work or residence, name, or congressional office. We welcome you to submit any absurd intern stories you are bound to acquire. TWITTER EXCEPTION: we assume you give us permission to re-tweet any submissions you send our way via your public Twitter account. To the interns: please use this blog as a learning tool. Godspeed and best of luck this summer. dcsummerinterns@gmail.com

That's pretty good. Props for catching that one.
ReplyDeleteThese days, I'm surprised the interns aren't walking around with Das Kapital.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, we could do with a bit more Wealth of Nations.
There is no Cliff Notes version of the Wealth of Nations.
ReplyDelete@pjlax34 I sympathize with the person who writes this blog - sometimes you just want to gett off something even if you know the correct answer. K. Mangu-Ward might have figured out what the interns were reading: http://reason.com/blog/#133980 and think the interns deserve points for good taste & a sense of humor, if they were reading O'Rourke's primer.
