800,000 federal employees categorized as “non-essential”. Question: If they were not essential, then why did they get hired ?
• Related and making the point – Over 93% of the entire EPA staff considered “non-essential”.
• Identity politics (the favored strategy of Democrats) rears its head – SLATE announces “Women will be hardest Hit“, ie. the GOP War On Women Continues…..
• ABC finds racism in the Shut Down – Defines Shutdown Negotiators as “all white males”; While Salon and MSNBC are less subtle:
The govt shutdown is the end result of a 50-year GOP push to make govt=welfare and welfare=black people http://t.co/BfswIEQL9y

Ya know, I don’t think there is a more apropos reflection of this President is tarnishing the office he holds.
President Stompy Feet told Democrats to kill veterans funding, keep World War 2 Memorial closed so he doesn't lose face.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

(New York) Sources tell FTVLive that CNN Boss Jeff Zucker is “actively looking for a replacement for Piers Morgan.”
Morgan signed a one year extension to his contract and as time winds down, Zucker is looking for someone to takeover his time slot. Word is that Zucker really wants Katie Couric in that slot. Couric should be available soon as many expect this is the last year her talk show “Katie” will be on the air.

Quick, grab your family, block yourself in a room without windows, and wait for the doom to subside. THEY…. THEY…. THEY TURNED OFF PANDA CAM.
