8. Welcome to DU!
Can you tell us more about the feeling in D.C. without endangering your job? (I say that because some people who have made it possible for their jobs to be identified have been fired for comments they made here. So I would never encourage anyone to say anything here that could allow somebody to figure out where they work or live.)

I travel to D.C. on business every few months, and I have noticed an amazing phenomenon among bureaucrats in the department where I consult. As you probably know, bureaucrats generally stay out of politics. They ride the waves of the administrations that come and go, and they never, ever say anything disloyal about whoever is in charge. Not any more!

The ones I know have been retiring in droves and making open statements of contempt and outrage about the current administration. As far as I can tell, if the federal employees in D.C. could vote tomorrow and determine the election, the only ones voting for shrub would be the recent appointess, ideological morons all.
