“Planet Washington” Exposed!
PLANET WASHINGTON –when news breaks, we fix it
“If you think that ‘inside the Beltway‘ seems like another planet, this show is for you.” – The Boston Globe
What’s so funny about Washington, DC? If you have to ask, you haven’t been paying attention! But we have!
Ken Rynne is a writer and singer who came to DC from Boston and never left (they call it “Potomac fever”). He studied American government in college, had an internship through Speaker of the House Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill’s office, and went on to law school. He studies policy like normal people study baseball box scores.
After studying government in theory and then actually experiencing it in practice working for Congress, moonlighting with The Capitol Steps, Ken had an overwhelming need to tell what he saw from a staff’s eye view – like the fellow with the broom who follows the elephants in the circus – and set it to music like his mentor and friend Mark Russell.
Frank Plumer is a gifted pianist and music teacher. He has a life. Like most Americans he thinks about politics about 20 minutes a year – and resents the intrusion. Frank is the “control group” in our little experiment here in the laboratory of democracy.

This domain appears to recieve a large ammount of visitors. How do you get traffic to it? It gives a nice individual spin on things. I guess having something useful or substantial to give info on is the most important thing.
I’d be inclined to give carte blanche with you on this. Which is not something I typically do! I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!
Rattling great visual appeal on this site, I’d rate it 10 10.

I don’t normally comment on blogs.. But nice post! I just bookmarked your site
Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what weve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you cant really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.
excellent post, very informative. I wonder why the other specialists of this sector don’t notice this. You must continue your writing. I’m confident, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!
