Call It a Government Shutup


I have not checked the news yet this morning to see if there was a government shutdown last night. As I headed to bed, the bulldogs and bitches were all snarling and growling at one another on Capitol Hill, unable to pass this or that law to keep things running.

So many lawmakers, such little progress! All they do is yap into the camera at reporters about how bad the other side is, and yap at one another in the halls of Congress about the very same thing. As for the Yapper-in-Chief, he sure has screwed things up: According to several polls conducted by a variety of organizations of all political stripes, the majority of Americans believe that the Affordable Care Act has hurt health care rather than helped, and pretty much everyone agrees that race relations have worsened under Obama. Add to that the fact that a sizable portion of the world wants us dead, and you can see why a government shutdown might be just what the doctor ordered.
