I almost wish I lived in DC. ;)
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:09 pmSo, given the photo you used, you’re saying that the fringe benefits of the job are (with apologies to Matt) a receding hairline and an expanding gut?
Hmm. I will have to think about that.
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:11 pmI wish I was made to be a productive blogger, but I’m afraid I would not last very long in such a dog-eats-dog profession. I’m too poetic in my words and too retrospective in my work. After all, I like to explore all sides for arguments, and I could never see myself forcing myself to completely adopt one mindset.
In other words, I’m too flexible to be a blogger. I find myself to be much more suitable in my current position as a U.S. citizen. Too bad the job doesn’t pay well by itself.
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:13 pmIs there any possibility of telecommuting?
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:16 pmHey! Who installed the camera in my office?!
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:17 pmYou beat me to that one, RUC! I was going to ask, what do you mean “this could be you?”
OK, my hair’s thicker and grayer, and I only wear reading glasses, but almost everything else fits…
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:19 pmThis is the most honest job description ever.
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:19 pmBut who is going to take my order at the Wendy’s drive thru now?
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:20 pmTell me more about the blogger in the next cubicle over…
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:21 pmI must say that I’d LOVE for O’Reilly’s goons to stalk me.
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:22 pmHas missmolly signed up yet?
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pmI suspect Zooey’s been practicing her swift kick to the stalker nutz maneuver for just such an occaision.
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pmProud
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pmDRxJ, I think all of us would write recommendation letters for MissMolly. She’s the greatest.
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:27 pmGreat job description – LOL

You know me too well…
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:37 pmGlad to see some industries are expanding lately.
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:38 pmYou have no idea how tempting this is…
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:41 pmI don’t want to look like that! (with apologies to whomever that is)
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:47 pm…any openings for a recluse shut-in in these modern days of the Internet?
April 23rd, 2009 at 2:55 pm‘One day we’ll all be able to work from home’ When, when?

April 23rd, 2009 at 2:59 pmSeconded.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:04 pmYou would do well, toasterhead…
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:08 pmWorking is bad for your health – Thanks but, no thanks on the job offer.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:13 pmTempting. VERY VERY tempting.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:40 pmI’d love to, but I can’t rock the suit jacket ‘n jeans look like that guy does.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:44 pmLive in DC? You’re joking, right?
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:47 pmYou really are left-handed sado-masochists. I thought it was just a rumor.
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:50 pmCaption Contest: [thought bubble] I feel like I am being watched..dont scratch..dont pick…must look busy..put hand on cheek and index finger on temple.wait..thats been done..think thinking..stare into space..philosophical like..good good..lean back..hands on hips..looks authoritarian..yes…bagged another paycheck..
April 23rd, 2009 at 3:51 pmI would love this job. But why the need to be based in D.C.? In the 21st Century, we should be able to do work like this based anywhere in the world!!

How far do you expect Jesse Watters to drive in order to stalk you? Gas ain’t free, you know…
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:23 pmOh man, if TP had been around 23 years ago, I would have jumped at the chance…that’s when I left DC….I still have great contacts, and if I can ever be of help to anyone here let me know.
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:34 pmYou really are left-handed sado-masochists. I thought it was just a rumor.
If that made any sense, you might have a point…
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pmIf I got hired on at TP, would I have to give up my piecemeal work for CPAC?
: 1
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:55 pmThis could be me? God I hope not. This guy looks like his chest slipped. And although I fit the qualifications, I cannot find an agent to get published. I am a brainy non published loser. If you want me, take your best shot and make me an offer.
April 23rd, 2009 at 6:49 pmHey now, nobody looks good photographed in that position. I’m sure he’s a perfectly attractive individual in real life.
I’d like to point out here that twice in the last day I’ve scooped TP by about 12 hours – first with the Shep f-bomb and later with the Boehner t-bomb.
But living in D.C? Heyallz no.
April 23rd, 2009 at 7:03 pmNO!
I have to keep DemoRats in line too!
I would be picking a side!!!
NO WAY! I choose DEMOCRACY FIRST!!!
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:27 pmVery tempting… I was editor of my junior high school newspaper, “The Skipper’s Log”, which means my journalistic credentials far exceed anyone at NewsCorp.
PEACE
April 23rd, 2009 at 10:00 pmActually let me know if you need to hire a stunt man to stand in for the BillO stalking.
Available shortly after retiring from present job which is any time now.
April 24th, 2009 at 4:35 amJob description should also include: strong ability to ignore reality, propensity to deceive and lie, minimal IQ, knowledge of at least five simple names to call conservatives, and a generally amoral view on life.
April 24th, 2009 at 10:04 am10hourday, those are the qualifications for “Little Green Footballs,” only substitute “liberals” for “conservatives”.
