That's it! I have had enough. They pandacam at the National Zoo has been turned off.

The Republicans think they're giving the Democrats a black eye in all of this. What they are actually doing is shooting themselves in the foot...again.
I wish them luck in the mid terms, they'll need it as America votes them out of their cushy jobs. He who laughs last, laughs in the unemployment line.

Oops. No unemployment because the office is closed.

Look away folks. GOP sepaku isn't a pretty sight.

They are all looking stupid and childish. The last mid-term elections the Repubs were voted in to stop crazy spending. Here they are doing it and folks are up in arms. This makes zero sense. Then again, what occurs these days anywhere at any time makes no sense.

The unemployment office is open. Checks will go out. Might be a bit delayed but non-the-less open.

Fast becoming a laughing stock in the eyes of the world.

This is what worries me about all this. While I do agree that Obamacare should be opposed, i think what transpired in this incident is..... tactically unwise? I'm no fan of the GOP, but they need to stay in place as a counter to the liberal progressive left. If the GOP ends up making themselves irrelevant though loss of votes on the national stage, what will end up happening is no counterweight to the stop the big government no personal rights nanny state the Democrats are sure to install.

What was the percentage of that minority.. oh yeah, that's right, popular opinion has that minority placed at 3% in 1775.

We all know the real reason the government is shutting down.

GTA 5 online is being launched tomorrow.

Coincidence? I think not.

Welcome to the Banana Republic of America. Care for a coconut?

I think the salient lesson the outside world can learn from all this, is that an exclusively two-party system isn't such a great idea.

There is 435 of them. One in the White House. And nine at the Supreme Court. All are root causes.

What's the hurry? No big deal the vote to extend the federal budget was only going to last till mid November anyway.

The biggie problem is the debt ceiling vote due mid October ...

misewell wait and vote for both at the same time, right?

Debt ceiling: 8 things you need to know but wish you didn't

Just go ahead and lock the doors to congress and the senate. Cut off their paychecks and send their worthless backsides home.
People are blubbering because they can't go visit Yellowstone for cripes sake!
