On that Heritage article in the Times, the good folks at The Corner note,

KIDS TODAY [John J. Miller]
There’s a good article in the NYT today on the 64 paid interns who are working at the Heritage Foundation this summer. They even have a dorm complex for these kids. I wonder if they’ve split into conservative and libertarian factions yet. That’s what always happened when I was in college — the Burke and Kirk club vs. the von Mises and Hayek types. Likely late-night conversation topic: Is President Bush a traitor to conservatism? Playing in the background: the new Coldplay album.

John is right on point - for a moment I thought he was describing Pat (the von Mises-Hayek-Rand type) and I (the Burke-Kirk-Religious Right type) discussing matters in the car on the way down to DC for CPAC. I do recall Coldplay in the background, as well.

I’m such a nerd.

PS - I won’t be purchasing Coldplay’s new album here in Budapest. The only thing getting burn in my CD player (yes, I am old school) these days is John Coltrane.

Anything you cand do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you (shoot me for this later).

I have a new goal now…in addition to applying for a White House internship next summer, I am definitely applying for the Heritage Foundation internship program.

Given the alphabet soup of internships I have had to date (TCB, FPA, CFR, HHC, IIE - Europe) the Heritage or White House spot would be the crown jewel (although the Council was fun, as is interning in another continent) of my internship career.

Alas, those apps aren’t due for some time now. Back to the law school apps.
