What hell is this?

Why, it's the Career page at the Heritage Foundation!

The Heritage Foundation Job Bank assists conservatives in finding employment with conservative Congressional Offices, faith-based organizations, other public policy organizations, lobbying groups and trade associations.

The Heritage Foundation Internship Program

Our paid interns have real jobs, acquire policy expertise, build marketable skills, enhance their resumes, attend events where they can meet and talk with the nation's leading policy-makers, and make friends with their conservative peers.

What was I doing there? I got into an argument while watching The NewsHour this evening. They had two people discussing unemployment benefits extensions, and one of them was from Heritage. I maintained that he was almost assuredly a paid staff member (and with a title like Director, Center for Data Analysis, probably a highly-compensated one). Mom thought he might be an associate of the Foundation, not an employee. I decided I'd go look him up.

It's pretty honest of Heritage to clearly state it's only looking for conservative people to place in conservative Congressional offices, faith-based organizations, etcetera. Wingnut welfare indeed.

I hate -- hate -- how "religious" has morphed into the uglier euphemism "faith-based". Ack.

Blame that adviser of Bush's, the same guy who thought up "compassionate conservative."
