A government shutdown is looking more likely:
Government Funding Talks Dissolving, Shutdown Now Floated As Negotiating Tactic
Behind the scenes, aides say, talks have taken on an even more ominous tone. According to sources familiar with the discussions, Republican negotiators have said that the only way they could build support within their own party for reducing the size of the cuts -- even in the stopgap measure -- would be to let the government actually shut down.
Such a scenario, a Democratic aide paraphrased a Republican counterpart as saying, would "be what it takes to convince the [party's] conservative members that they pulled out all the stops." A second Democratic Senate aide, briefed on the talks, confirmed this account.

Whether or not the line was said, a government shut down does appear to be creeping closer to fruition. The opening bid by House Republican negotiators was, in essence, to not negotiate at all.
When's the deadline? March 4th?
I have an idea, Sparky. Sell the toys and use the money to buy a minifridge for nanny share parents.
Jessica, the evolutionary adaptation of adorability in infants never ceases to amaze me.

Cash, Sara saw the picture of Owen at the radio station, and now she wants you all to come visit. I think she's looking at Owen like an ally in world domination or something.

Yes, please, let's get all the powder kegs together and light a match.
Sara clearly thought, "Here's a kid who knows how to reach the masses ..."
Can I make a confession? That Sherlock/Watson pic does absolutely nothing for me. No ping, no skew, no fanning of the face.
Right there with you. I mostly enjoy RDJ's performances, but I last found him viscerally attractive back around the time of
Soapdish. And Jude Law dispelled his appeal so thoroughly with the nanny scandal that even my enjoyment of his slashy domestic photos with Ewan McGregor is impaired.
Has Jesse seen this? [link]
I NEED TO SEE THAT! But between the crappy wifi and the crappy computer, it will not happen until tomorrow night. Bah!
Sell the toys and use the money to buy a minifridge for nanny share parents.
I suspect in 6 months I'd be ranting here that there were things rotting in the mini fridge and that I had to throw it out.
It's too much trouble for me to do anything, except trash what they won't take home.
And check where we are on the waiting lists for daycare/preschools.
