Don't know how to find it and I didn't think to save a copy of it at the time, but basically:

It showed a pile of smoking rubble, and standing on top of it was a ragtag skinny bearded guy with a turban and ripped clothing and dirt smudges and a virulently angry face and open mouth (screaming, of course) and fist in the air, proclaiming "victory." Yeah. "Victory" over a smoldering pile of wreckage. THAT'S your victory, asshole. Happy now? That all you've got is a pile of smoking, smoldering rubble and utter wreckage? You must be SO proud.

This is one biggest douche asshat in the history of politics. Mitch McConnell used to be the most unpopular senator in the history in many polls. Now he should be glad that its not the case anymore, thanks to Ted Cruz. Even Texans are beginning to realize the true face of Ted Cruz, they're having their own disdain toward this Second-Coming of Jesus-wannabe, Ted Cruz.

taxpayers will have to foot the $24 Billion his tearorist lunacy have cost them.

Make that $24 Billion price tag visible for all to see, please, since he is "fiscally responsible" so often... (once being too often already).

He must have the same dynamic stagecraft coaches/PR crew, that the Germans used in the 1930s. Der Fuckwad needs to be dropped off back across our northern border, ASAP. Can you Imagine that fascist as President of the US? We would be invading every country that was to weak to resist. Because they're there!

Big Headline on Google/CNN..."The republican were the big Winners" I think that was a typo and was meant to read..."Big Whiners"

Speaker Mr "Boo Hoo Hoo Hoo" Boner, had the votes all along. Lying is all in a days work for a Go Go GOPer. That was a very costly series of lies Mr Woofer.

The verdict is in, and it’s nearly unanimous: Republicans are to blame for the government shutdown, and their ham-handed stab at derailing Obamacare marks the beginning of the end for the Grand Old Party.

That’s the judgment of pundits who are gleefully documenting the Republicans’ self-destruction. Commentators are sizzling over intraparty feuding, certain the conservative movement has finally been vanquished, and are even drawing parallels between the Republican Party and the Confederacy.

These opinion leaders are armed with polls confirming voters’ low regard for the GOP. And for sure, the polls don’t look good.

One released in Michigan this week, for example, finds 46 percent of state voters place the fault for the shutdown on Republicans, while 36 percent blame President Barack Obama.

Bad news for the GOP, right? Maybe. But the survey by Mitchell Research for the Marketing Resource Group of Lansing also asks voters whether they have been personally affected by the two-week partial closure of federal functions.

Some 80 percent say they haven’t been affected much at all by an event that was cast in apocalyptic terms by Obama and his media chorus.

Does it matter that voters hold Republicans accountable for something that hardly caused a ripple in their daily lives?

The stock markets held steady, despite the president’s attempt to jawbone them into a panic. And even though the administration tried to maximize the pain by barricading the national monuments and other stunts, it turns out the nonessential functions of government truly are nonessential for most of us. It may well fall into the category of “No harm, no foul.”
