About This Site

The purpose of this site is for me to comment on news, and other topics from the perspective of federal employee in the Washington, DC area for 34 years.

At first glance (and last glance), one might think that there is no relationship to the first two items in the site's title (politics and policy) and the last (the mind). The mind, or more accurately thinking, really doesn't seem at all related to politics and policy to me.

Politicians, more often than not, expouse goals and propose policy that is not substantiated by the legislation they vote for or against. Voters, on the other hand, complain about their legislators but send them back to office over and over, then wonder why nothing changes. Voters send politicians back to office who have committed acts that if committed by any other man-on-the-street would demand prosecution. Case-in-point, Senator Edward Kennedy, MA.

Non-voters (of which there are too many) have absolutely nothing to complain about.

More to come . . .
