govt shutdown looms

The baby boomers simply don't give two shits about future generations or their parents. ZIRP steals from grandma and the endless debt each year f.ucks our children. My hope is the baby boomers are eating cat food after their epic failure of a generation.

Pretty funny clip from Jimmy Kimmel:

Best quote from the comments section:

"Most of America is Lenny and the rest of us are George, just trying to keep them calm and stop them from destroying something."

just saw on slate that foxnews is referring to the shutdown as a 'slimdown'. i guess they figure the republicans are going to take the blame, so let's rename the shutdown something less worrisome! yay, fox 'news'

Did you watch last nite's Stewart show yet?..covered it well...Had Orielly on last nite and he was his usual aszhole self...said Obama is weak because he didn't bomb Syria....

Here's one of Stewarts rants from the show..it was on the gawker link..

Apparently, they are allowed to do that — [members of Congress] are allowed to make laws, and the President is allowed to sign laws. And what do we do if those laws are unconstitutional? Well apparently nine precogs in magic robes got together, looked at the Affordable Care Act, and decided that it was not unconstitutional.

So everything appears to have been done literally by the book. This bill is now a law, vetted by the very system these Republicans claim to love — but to hear Republicans tell it, the whole thing could just be avoided if President Obama would just meet him halfway!

The bill is a ****ing law! Are you familiar with how the word works? Did you see the Giants game on Sunday? Okay: they lost 31 to 7. And you know what the Giants didn’t say after that game? 'If you don’t give us 25 more points by midnight on Monday, we are gonna shut down the NFL!'
