Joe Davidson writes a regular column, The Federal Diary, for the Washington Post. His beat is the federal work force, and his perspective is usually that of the anonymous federal bureaucrat. And since so many faceless bureaucrats are members of government unions, a labor-leaning spin can sometimes be detected in his work. That means a certain amount of Republican-bashing is to be expected in his coverage of the controversy over today's government shutdown.
That said, Davidson is good at getting the facts straight. And what's interesting about his column in yesterday's Post is that he quantifies the impact that the shutdown is likely to have on a number of different agencies. Read Davidson's column here.
