Government Shutdown

I think a shutdown is way overrated. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think congress gets paid, which i would conjecture is the biggest reason they make such a big deal out of it, aside from exploiting an opportunity to paint the opposing side into a corner.

EDIT:
After a bit of reading, it appears both congress and the white house will continue to draw checks. What a bummer. None of those bums should be getting paid IMO.
