Wretchard mentions Babel in his headline. Here is a wikipedia report on the origins of the Babel. It comes from a story in Genesis. (Because men build the tower for their own glory rather than God’s glory–God gets jealous and splits up everyone’s language so no one could understand each other.

Storming the Castle
Whether they are Democrat or Republican, politicians have now become a permanent class in the capital, existing along with a giant bureaucracy, operating the government for their own sake. Unless that is changed, they will simply continue to increasing until they bankrupt the country.
No Way In
"Fun read and a great first effort. The characters have distinct personalities, the action is gripping and there's a sense of realism without becoming overly technical. It's a story that you think may have actually happened in the real world. On the downside, the start is a little stilted and the author doesn't hit his pace until about 30 pages in but this is a quibble. Make it that far and you'll be in for a treat. ." -- by Jim (Virginia)
