Publius Fellowship Time
The PowerLine crew reminds me it's time to plug the Claremont Institute's Publius Fellowship Program.
Every summer, the institute brings out a select number of students (college, grad) who are interested in political philosophy and writing about politics.
They provide intensive seminars in writing and political philosophy (with particular emphasis on American political thought from a West Coast Straussian/Jaffa-esque perspective), and there will be notable guest lecturers. The orientation is conservative, but I would not call it ideological. Lodging, travel, most meals, and a stipend are provided.
I was fortunate enough to be a Publius Fellow in 1996, and it was a great experience. That year, it was six weeks. This year, it's been cut down to two. I'm sure they'll cram in all the seminars, which means the "fun" time will suffer. Still, for any aspiring conservative writers (including bloggers) with a serious interest in American political thought and political philosophy, I highly recommend applying to the program.
Anyone with questions about the experience should feel free to email me. Applications are due mid-March.

One must be careful not to replicate the fate of Socrates.
