I can't help but wonder who the "Authorized Personnel" can be. This is Washington, D.C., the center of any known universe, and there are plenty, mucho, many, lots, even Tons of Authorized Personnel here. They're running the show and will waste no time showing you exactly how Authorized they are. Believe me, they're plenty authorized. And, furthermore, they intend to stay that way. The perks for being Authorized are not inconsiderable. You've got your black Ford SUV with the smoked windows and a siren to get the riffraff out of your way when you want to go to lunch. You've got your High Powered meetings to discuss this and that with the folks who may, or most certainly will, be giving you money soon. You've got your private plane to get you around beyond the Beltway. And, of course, you've got your access. You can walk in any darn alleyway you darn well please. That is, if you walk at all.

Stumble It!
