Politics

I posted this as a comment at the Musings of The GeekWithA.45. It bears repeating here, so as not to get lost to the vagaries of Haloscan.

What people don't understand is Washington (and perhaps all politics) is about allowing the greatest number of people to take victory for something while actually accomplishing the fewest number of things (and therefore creating even more opportunity to claim credit for nothing - but something - in the future).

Sorry if its a bit cynical.
