Policy people suffer their own kind of agony, and no wonder. After all, what is the average life of the policy person?

Yet think-tankers and policy wonks continue to opine, never pausing to reflect on-or apologize for-their spotty records Picture Quote #1

Time hath not yet so dried this blood of mine, Nor age so eat up my invention, Nor fortune made such havoc of my means, Nor my bad life reft me so much of friends, But they shall find awaked in such a kind Both strength of limb and policy of mind, Ability in means, and choice of friends, To quit me of them throughly Picture Quote #1
