Don't play dumb.

They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...
always constant, accurate, and intense."

Yeah, lets just fucking leave everything to the politicians and have no say in things. That's the American way.

Voter initiatives nationwide!
in essence, that's how California is run.

It's not just California.  Twenty four states have some form of voter initiative (two of them only allow it for constitutional amendments) http://iandrinstitute.org/statewide_i%26r.htm

It is far better for people to hate you for doing the right thing than for people to love you for doing the wrong thing. Never ever forget that.

The best way to celebrate a government shutdown? Tecate and international volleyball  :laugh:

^For some reason the Volvo 240 in the picture fascinates me.

Possum seems to sum up this whole government shutdown thing with her Bill in accounting stopping the payrolls. What gets me more worried here, though, is that the shutdown is just a consequence of other, bigger problems.

So why is Congress and America gendered? Are they trying to reproduce?

I read earlier today that the Chinese are reacting, now. They are worried, and they should be.

Seriously. Debt ceiling hits on the seventeenth. I cannot even begin to describe what a massive pile of kakadookie this all is.
