McCain's Apocalypse

[Perd Hapley]

One FaceBook friend praised MN Senator Amy Klobuchar (D) for donating her pay to the NIH during the shutdown, since their funding would be reduced. I suggested that, had the Senate actually done their required duty, and passed a budget (as outlined in the Constitution), the shutdown could have been avoided. But, I also said, then she wouldn't look like such a hero.

Bastages!

Gee, does that mean she'll have to live off the millions (if she's like a good portion of the rest of the senators) she made from insider trading?

"McCain's Apocalypse" would be a great book title.

Apparently Obama doesn't understand how unions work.

Way to piss off your base and demonstrate that you shouldn't be in charge of any sharp objects.

Meanwhile he's bending over backwards to work with Republicans while refusing to negotiate with them.*

The barrycades in Yellowstone are being torn down and thrown in the ditch by the rightfull owners of the park ...Americans, who are continuing into the park.

My son went into a ranger station in northern Michigan a couple days ago to get some plat maps for the area for deer hunting.  The rangers were getting ready to lock the doors.  They were pissed and putting the maps outside on the ground.  They also told my son they couldn't go into the Manistee Forest to hunt because the government was shut down.  My son laughed at them and asked them, since they were furloughed, who was going to enforce them hunting on the several thousand acres of federal forest that belong to the people, not the federal government.  Michigan DNR won't as they've got enough on their hands in the state forest. ha ha ha ha ha ha......

U.S. military academy football teams will play this weekend, despite the government shutdown.

A senior defense official said Wednesday the decision affects this weekend’s games only, and future games will be evaluated as events unfold. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly so spoke on condition of anonymity.

Navy later confirmed its home game against Air Force in Annapolis, Md., would be played as scheduled Saturday. The game is sold out and is the most notable one on the Midshipmen’s home schedule. The Army-Navy game at the end of the season is played at a neutral site.

The Navy-AFA game and Army’s game at Boston College were in jeopardy after the Defense Department temporarily suspended sports competition at the service academies as a result of the budget impasse in Congress.

....

The football teams will be allowed to play because the games are paid for with non-appropriated funds, and have been long planned. Non-appropriated funds generally come from outside sources and are not approved through Congress.

....

He said the athletic department had provided information to Pentagon officials to assure them that no government funds will be spent on any aspect of the game. Gladchuk said a Navy home game brings in about $4 million from tickets, sponsorship, television and radio rights fees and other revenues such as parking and concessions. The game essentially pays for itself, he said.

Which is chump change when compared to an NFL game, but still ....

Sorry that your world will not come to an end, afterall.

If the start messing with FOOTBALL!!! it might wake up some of the sleeping masses.

I don't see much else getting the attention of the general public.
