It doesn't even have anything to do with bureaucracy, as is commonly understood.

But if you're compelled, "bureaucalypse."

Given all the gun enthusiasts in the Tea Party, their marksmanship lacks ambition, maybe they're shooting their own country in the foot, so as to avoid active duty?

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

I would like to congratulate the United States of America on looking like complete and utter idiots.

Why are you yawning, you get what you want: 19,000 kids kicked out of Headstart today.  A lot of them are even black, so there's your double bonus, derweiss.

Oh noes, Headstart-- the program that ultimately provides no lasting benefit.

From his FB posts it seems that my cousin who works for NASA is pretty pissy about being off today.

And I'd like to congratulate you on thus finally getting some company. :thumbsup:

I did hear that some veterans benefits my get disrupted.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
