Something something legimate asshole something shut that whole government down.

I wish I could laugh, but jokes also escape me in light of all this bullhockey. So many of my friends are now furloughed, without pay. As always, it's the little guys that suffer.

Turn it into a Survivor type situation - no food or first aid kit.

Ailes probably screamed at the idiots, for posting actual facts. They'll be out of a job before the day is out.

There seems to be at least <i>some</i> thought this absurd crisis is some kind of effort by the Republican leadership (or what passes for it) to avert a <strong>huge</strong> crisis with the debt limit. My thought is the inmates are running the asylum and the only hope for resolution is the Fall 2014 elections. Over a year of this!!!

Obviously this is a false flag operation run by Obama and the Demon-rats to make it look like the Repubicans have defunded the entire government.

One after another the 'Pubes say "I don't want to shut down the government. Then pass some poison pill CRs as if that shows their sincerity rather than their hypocrisy.

I wish kids were running the party and the nation. At least we'd get ice cream sundaes. Instead we get Nurse Ratchet and Hannibal Lecter and Ted Cruz.

I was in DC last week; the <i>WaPo</i> seemed to have awakened to the problem and was carrying on about the Republicans in Congress (not the <i>nice</i> ones they know). Even <a href="http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/articles\/2013\/10\/01\/for_cruz_medium_is_the_message_120161.html" target="_blank"> Richard Cohen</a> seemed aware, so ... The editors still seemed miffed they might not get the war they want with Iran, but dem's da breaks.
