Michael Matthew Bloomer spent the 24 years between Reagan and Bush II on Capitol Hill as a legislative research and policy wanker at the nonpartisan
Congressional Research Service, an agency in the belly of Congress's across-the-street library, the aptly named
Library of Congress. Now retired, I'm freed from CRS nonpartisanship, and "came out" as an aggressive progressive and am a contributing writer for
Nation of Change.
