Government Shutdown…grab a six pack and relax!


As the mainstream media and the uninformed populace that they under serve continue to gnash their teeth over the so-called government shut down, I can’t help but hear the classic line from radio reporter Herbert Morrison’s broadcast of the Hindenburg crash, “oh the humanity.”

Yes…how will we ever muddle through without access to the webcam of the cute little pandas at the National Zoo? It will be a true struggle for train nerds to get by, without a visit to the Steamtown National Train Museum in Scranton, PA. Not to mention that boating and recreation will apparently come to a complete halt in Harry Reid’s Nevada, with the lockdown of Lake Mead National Park. Sorry I must have missed that part of the Constitution where our Founding Father’s covered the forced housing of wildlife.
 

I love the now all too common phrases that private sector businesses use with more and more regularity, things like;  “the new normal” “wearing multiple hats” and my personal favorite “do more with less”. I don’t know about things where you work, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that there isn’t one “non-essential” worker where I work because we fully embrace not only the multiple hats concept, but the doing more with less as well.

If so many of the folks employed by the Federal Government are “non-essential” then way haven’t we released them to pursue their higher purpose? Not surprisingly the masters of spin in the Democrat party have quickly realized the error of their ways and re-labeled these folks furloughed and non-furloughed workers.

To borrow a bit of classic advice from the late Democrat, Mayor of Buffalo, New York, Jimmy Griffin during a snow storm “grab a six-pack, sit back, relax and we’ll make it through.”
