One silver lining in this big cloud of crap

The shutdown will sink Coo Coo Bird Cuccinelli's campaign for governor of Virginia. Hundreds of thousands of us are now furloughed because of his party's antics. Even my GOP friends across No. Va. are angry at the crazies & probably either won't show up at the polls or--the horror--will vote for McCauliffe.

When Coo Coo Bird loses, it will send a strong message to the rest of the country that the assholes have gone too far. And that'll be a good thing!

1. My husband said his commute today was unreal, only ten people on his bus. Last

Night he had to drive home in the non HOV lane because there were 8 cars ahead of him waiting for slugs.

I count my blessings that his agency has rollover funds to keep operating for a couple of weeks.

But I fear this won't be resolved in a couple of weeks. I think the R's are going to force a default on the debt.

I think we might be witnessing the end of the US as we currently know it. I think this is civil war now.
