I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
That kid needs to write, write, write!
Does the man have any scruples, or would he like to work for us?
We'll pay him in cash, no W2 or 1099!
Atrios, I'm unemployed too, and I mention this because I have no shame whatsoever.
Good luck, Jesse.
On behalf of the >100 million employed Americans, I say: Jesse's welcome as soon as he learns to produce something the market wants.
Why does he want to work for someone else? Why can't such a talented individual forge an entrepreneurial path to success? He's so smart, he can be his own boss!
Jesse, we're looking for someone who can accentuate the negative, eliminate the positive. We don't give a rat's ass about your own political persuasion; as long as you're a team player, we need your gift of gab, your ability to build a talking point.
Look, we know the economy is improving, and will probably continue improving through the 04 election. So we need to attack Bush everywhere else except the economy. Can you draft five-to-eight talking points for our next Democratic candidate? Lean hard on Bush, and keep hammering on the US troop casualties! Those numbers are great for us!
Did you notice how Bush looks like a monkey? You can use that! He's so autocratic and uncompromising, he's just like a little Hitler! He's a tooted-up, dry(?)drunk, service-dodging, silver-spoon-in-mouth, lying, greedy, super-connected little louse.
We keep pressing that line, we've got 04 in the bag! Jesse, will you help us?
Oh! Ouch! Jesse hurt me by smashing me! Ow! Stop smashing me, Jesse!
what was that line from hollywood shuffle -- "there's always a good job waiting down at the post office"?
pandagon should stop screwing around with this writing business and go into the international arms trade. based on last sunday's NYTMag article, it seems to be an unsinkable business in any economy...
Jesse, Atrios says you're highly intelligent. Please post your GRE/GMAT scores.
Can I get Atrios to write me a "get this boy hired" rant, too? Sheeit. What about the rest of us poor, underemployed, overly opinionated asswipes? OK, maybe that just narrowed it down to me.
He certainly has demonstrated a terrific ability to follow the daily talking points memo out of the DNC. He has done so with verve, energy and a near total lack of concern for the truth. His embellishments to the DNC's often turgid prose style should make Jesse a good candidate for substitute blogger next time atrios goes on vacation from his substitute gym teacher "position." On reflection, maybe Jesse could fill on for the latter job, since it is apparently located in Philadelphia, near where he already lives.

Ugh, please. Self employment is for those either to stupid to understand the odds against them or incapable of getting [keeping] a real job - though I understand it allows you the freedom to pick which 14 hours a day you want to work. (I speak from experience - lots of experience)
Two words: Law school

And we'll pay you 3x, no, 4x what the Dems will.

So far, I've only taken the practice GRE. I got a 1560 on that. I'm taking the real deal in November.
Cue troll.
You cheated/are lying/are a stupid affirmative action case. You're stupid and I hate you and I hope you die.
Exeunt troll.
Why doesn't Jesse join with Oliver Willis to form a single blog. They could call it, in honor of their relative sizes, "Thick & Thin."
Andrew, I have never seen you condemn China's one child policy. Therefore, you must support the genocide of female babies.
In fact, I don't recall you ever condemning anything.

I swear by my life and my love of it that Kaffir is a fucking idiot.
Love and kisses is underused as a business salutation.
Pandagon is a great read and I recommend it. But IIRC Jesse already has a job, he just wants a better one.
I wonder why one would pair jesse and Oliver. Oh, yes, it's because they're both Negroes.
Jobs in India or Burger King.
No need to hold out.
Exeunt troll.
That should be "Exit troll." "Exeunt" is third person plural, used when more than one character exits the scene; "exit" is third person singular. For a single troll, it's still "Exit troll."
And boy howdy, these Latin skills are even more hotly sought after than writing skills or left-wing credentials on today's job market.
Jesse seems to be flypaper for trolls. Say what you will, prejudice against Swarthmore has not yet entirely disappeared.
What Thumb said.
The self-employed Libertarians I know are a minority, and often they're checking out the bankruptcy laws.
If it's any help, Jesse, I regularly find myself volunteering to rewrite stuff by people considerably over my payscale (such as Human Resource Managers **ptoeey**) simply because I can't stand the horribly clotted and constricted prose they produce.
The moral of the story is those who can, write, and those who can't get bits of paper saying how educated they are and get those who can to do all the hard work.
Second thing we do, we kill all the human resource departments.
If it weren't for campaign finance reform...

ahh yes, once again the (capital I) Internet proves that giving 100 million monkeys 100 million keyboards will not, in fact, produce works comprable to those of Shakespeare.
Good luck with the job hunt, jesse.
