the closures of the Smithsonian museums, national parks, and monuments. The Cherry Blossom parade would be cancelled because permits for NPS events can't be honored.
This would be a big hit against the downtown economy.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The good news is, I made it onto a jury, so I still have to do my unpaid civic duty, instead of doing my unpaid lying around eating candy all day duty.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
It sounds like the shutdown is coming down to banning federal funds to planned parenthood and preventing EPA regulation of greenhouse gases.
Really? REALLY?!? That fills me with rage. I am so damn sick of the hateful attitude of elected Repubs. I mean really? Is it so damn awful if some woman gets a partially government-funded pap smear? So bad that it's better to just shut down the government?
Oh, I'm right there with you. I'm so inarticulate with rage that all I can do is insult Boehner.
Planned Parenthod, thanks to the Hyde Amendment, already cannot use federal funds for abortions. So abortions aren't even the issue here. What the pigfucking GOP is saying is that if women can't afford health care, then they don't deserve health care. Birth control, family planning, cancer screenings. They're not even trying to hide how much they hate women anymore.
I would say it's unbelievable, but sadly, it's totally believable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Totally fucking believable.
Awesome, bon.

Always Anti-fascist!
John, stop making the world pay cause you're a limp Boehner. The Women of America.

Oh! Guess who got a jury summons yesterday!
I hate this budget mess. I pretty much hate everything about politics right now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I hate everything about everything.
And I just need to say, not all people who are Republicans hate women. Honestly.
All right, I'm going back to bed. Maybe this time I won't nightmare out of it.

I know. I just get so ragey about the effects of the policies being put in place by people who are Republicans that I tar them all with the same brush.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That whole campaign may be worth it for the picture of Heidi Klum and Seal nakey, however. I mean, damn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
instead of doing my unpaid lying around eating candy all day duty.
Wait...you'd be doing what, otherwise?
I have so much to learn this week. It's massive. Oh, man. I don't know if I remember how to learn.
