Read MoreNo, The Human Mind Does Not ‘Work Just Like A Computer’
It’s a truism that’s often heard among smart people in conversations on Capitol Hill and elsewhere and it goes something like this: “The human mind thinks and processes just like a computer.” Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it?

Christians everywhere face the question of whether their faith has anything to do with their jobs, but it’s an especially acute issue for those on a congressional payroll.

Read MoreShould A Congressional Aide View ‘Forensic Faith’ As An Oxymoron?
People on Capitol Hill often speak of the importance of doing a “forensic audit” of a government program, a corporate expenditure or a political campaign, typically in conjunction with a court case or a congressional investigation.
