It’s that time of year again.

Along with the influx of flip-flop-wearing college kids, the Spotted: DC Summer Interns blog is back and ready to chronicle the mishaps of Hill interns.

The blog made its return Sunday with new posts, the first to appear since the last pack of ‘terns went back to school last September. The latest stories include an intern mixing up Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and long-deceased Sen. Charles Sumner (R-Mass.) and a young lady’s poor treatment of a Starbucks barista.

Let the laughing — and cringing — begin.
