Man, I hate agreeing with FIT about anything, but he's right. The Political climate in the US is dreadfully, comedic-ly, terrible. It's a running meme inducing, face palming, bad joke.
Honestly, if I could move anywhere, it'd be the Falkland Islands. Though... From reading about it, I'm not sure their internet standards would meet my needs. But everything else works.
I mean... Boehner just comes out and says: 'This isn't some Damn game!", and blaming the other side of the aisle, all the while looking like he's a pin drop away from tears, and then saying things like:
The American people don't want their government shut down and neither do I,
Are you sure you don't? I mean. All you have to do, is retrieve your nuts from the box on the Tea Party shelf, put them on, and call for a vote on a clean bill. With the backbiting and infighting within the party right now, everyone watching the situation knows that the votes to do it without the InsaniTea Party are there.
Personally? I hope all of the "popular funding" options fail. Those aren't done for any reason other than to save face. "oooooh can't have the Veterans mad at us!" "oooooh can't make it look like we don't want people to visit National Parks". Don't fund things to save face. Fund it all, without trying to hold the nation hostage because of a fight you lost 2 years ago, and can't give up on.
