I know where the office is in Manhattan I walk past it practically every Monday thru Friday.
I was once a Mass Communications major at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. I have an MBA from a prestigious institution in New Hampshire.
I have previous media experience including General Manager of commericial broadcast stations.
I am a glutton for punishment and love to take abuse.
I have absolutely no qualifications or experience for this position. So I have no skills to unlearn.
I can push a button marked "Editor's Pick" quite easily. As long as it's clearly marked.
I play no favorites, since I have no real friends.
I'm sure I meet all requirements. I'm over 50 s0 if you don't hire me I can sue you for age discrimination.
Salary requirements: There needs to be a salary. Snark added at no extra charge.
I am a team player, if I own the team.

Go sheepdog!
1. I have edited two literary magazines and two newsletters, without earning a cent for any of it. It's time for me to get some moolah for my Editorial brilliance.
2. I live in Manhattan and have my very own Metro Card.
3. I will give EPs to people who don't get them every week.
4. If I'm feeling stuck or uninspired, I can get the little girls I care for after school to take over. Wouldn't you like to see which posts a 6 year old and an 8 year old would choose?
5. I can write even when I'm feeling stupid and tired. I'm a hack and proud of it.
My, oh my, oh my. Everyone wants to be editor. :) This is going to fun to sit back and watch everything play out here. :)
I will now respond further via FM.
Hope
I do believe you'd be perfect!
You just became a front runner.
So are mine!!! WOOOO!!!
I'm not applying. I'm more of a "Asshole Renegade on the Edge that nobody really pays attention to until they're on CNN!!"
;)
Damn it, it'd be cool to have a sheep dog on as Editor. ~nodding~ ;)
Do you use FrontLine so that ticks and fleas will never be a problem?
ps: if chosen can you make the note that tells me to change my password go away it's really irritating!
John -- I could've played the nepostism card, but I'm not related to anyone at OS.
Nikki -- I guess they'll be fighting like cats and dogs.
Walk away -- Yeah...right.
SW -- I am well trained.
FTE -- No hair chewing
Eva T. -- Based on Vaudeville, it would be split 60-40. You get the laughs and as straight man I'd get the 60%.

Trig -- Thanks. Maybe we can be co-editors.
Chuck -- I don't think I'm in their budget range.
Tia -- thanks.
Trilogy -- Nowhere for me to go but up!
Zuma -- they're certifiable if they pick me.
Ardee -- Is that sincerity or snark.
John -- Didn't Woody Allen once say that 70% of success is just showing up. I know where to show up.
Nelly -- I have to have some ammo for the interview panel.
Tom -- I had a mentor who worked in government service after WWII into the 1970s. He told me about this career incompetent who kept getting promoted. This guy's list of references were all dead. Go figure.
Tink -- see above comment.
tai -- now that you said it, "Make it so Mr. Data."
cymraeg -- That's only because you're six hours ahead of us.
o/e -- Is Frank G. also known as Vinnie the Clam?
traveller1 -- I think their are more qualified people than me. I hope they don't apply.

o/e -- ok just checking
Lea -- If a black man can be elected POTUS, then anything is possible.
