I think we all can agree that the past two weeks were ridiculous. 16 days without a functioning government?!
When my brother and I fight, we can't decide to just not be siblings if we can't get along. How does the government get to decide to just not be a government because they aren't getting along?!
If this ridiculousness had taken place in any other country but America, I guarantee you that we would have been laughing at their incompetence. Ha ha ha, [insert Eurasian-sounding country here] cannot keep their government open!
The CDC's functioning was basically eliminated. Gee, what a great time for bioterrorism because no one in Congress can get their act together!
The national parks were closed. Great, because our country could actually use less exercise and recreation.
The panda cam was down. NOT OKAY.
To take a page out of Ted Cruz's book, I am going to conclude this post with a Dr. Seuss-inspired poem about congressmen:
I do not like them in the House.
I do not like M. Bachmann's blouse.
I do not like them on the Hill,
I did not like this whole standstill.
I do not like the shutdown sham.
I do not like them, Uncle Sam.
