When Correlation Looks Just Exactly Like Causation

Blogger "taxprof" presents data from professor Robert Anderson that shows that, of the top ten agencies, 96.9% of gov't lawyers donated to Obama, and 3.1% donated to Romney, with 100% Democrats in the NRLB, the UN, and the Department of Education. The IRS is not even in the top 5, it is number ten on the list. The remainder of the list shows that all of the agencies analyzed, even the Defense Dep't, are way heavy on Democrats.

Is this accidental? Or can one suspect some sort of ideological screening? Perhaps, as someone suggested, only Leftist activists actually go into government. Regardless of the cause, the burden of the progressives in government on the future of the country is a correlation that cannot be ignored.

With the unelected bureaucracies being controlled by toadies of the Left, what should we expect from them? We should expect exactly what we are getting.

Lewis predicted a Charientocracy. Is this an example of what he was talking about?
