write your congressman, tell him he sucks

Spring is in the air, finally. And this is always the time of year when a young man’s fancy turns to… government and public policy. In conjunction with some research I’m doing for school, and just because I wanted to play with Blogger, I started an eGovernment Weblog. Doesn’t that sound exciting?
I don’t know, I’m such an academic, theory-wank that it does sound interesting to me. Over the past couple months I’ve realized an interest research and design of information systems for government and public interest uses. Don’t be surprised if a year or so from now you hear me looking to get another Masters in public policy, and eventually settling down into a nice cushy civil service job.
For now, I’m just looking for a place to dump and store the vast quantities of info I’m sucking down like Clinton intern with a cigar in her kootchie. But if eGov doesn’t sound exciting to you, don’t worry, I’m getting back into the swing of daily life, shaking off the mental cobwebs brought on by the recent Indian Winter (Is that a term? It should be), and will be back to my old self in no time.
I used the word kootiche, so things can’t be far off from normal.

I used the term "indian winter" the other day, so I think it either is a term, or we have just coined it.

Excuse me, but, I think it's 'Native American' winter.

Living in a company town where the business is public policy, you'd think I'd hear a lot of highly technical public policy wonk talk. But I don't. Dunno why.

Cool idead, Idea, not I dead. Is it going to be NYC specific? I mean, some serious Bloomberg bashing? Cutting down on MTA stations, jacking up price, no smoking in bar/club now, means no revenue at bar/club. I'm still waiting to see how his master plan transpires: Bloomberg's back and he's bigger than before, heyla, heyla... so look out now, because he's coming after you... heyla, heyla, Bloomberg's back, hey, we're gonna get a beating...If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation..

Not specifically NYC, not even specifically US. But, considering that I live here and here, it will have a definite slant that way.
