The terrorists must be laughing their asses off!!

But they must also realize that they've been wasting a lot of time trying to kill us. They went to all that trouble, according to the government and mass media, to try to kill us; and now they realize that all they had to do is sit back and watch while the government self destructs!

This is just too damn easy!

There is absolutely nothing that terrorists could do to match what our own government officials are doing to destroy themselves or at least their reputations which should be beyond salvage.

The only good thing that could come out of this is that there is little or no chance that terrorists would want to launch another attack now; that would be the worst thing they could do if they wanted to let the government continue to self-destruct!

Which just might be the objective.

Perhaps the reason they did this is to provide an incentive to prevent terrorists from launching another attack; they would surely know that the only thing that would unify these bickering damn fools and repair their reputations would be a terrorist attack; so terrorist wouldn't have any motivation to launch an attack.

If any one had a motive to arrange a terrorist attack it would be, um, those that could destroy their own reputations any other way.

Could that be why Barack Obama and John Boehner always seem to be getting along so well when they're not making up arguments for the sake of political posturing??

Naaahhh.

Unless well, naaaah.



They wouldn't.





But if they did it has always worked like a charm in the past.

Both the terrorists and the politicians would be laughing their asses off; the only ones that would be screwed would be every one else.

They don't even seem to care about rubbing it in; as Libby pointed out they don't mind shutting down monuments or furloughing people and abandoning the poor but Boehner has ordered them to keep his private gym open at government expense!

If they do this as usual then as soon as it is all said and done they'll wind up paying for everything, or, more likely, just adding it on to the debt for the rest of us to pay, possibly excluding the ones that made the decisions. This is of course how they handled this in the past.



They'll keep laughing it up; unless perhaps it makes them look so bad that all of a sudden millions of people come to the sudden realization that they don't have to vote for all these clowns who refuse to even do their job and expect to get paid anyway; even when they threaten to take the pay of those that are doing their jobs.



Not surprisingly, as I was writing this an article came out indicating that the Taliban made my point before me.

Taliban mocks U.S. government shutdown

Even the Taliban is mocking the federal government shutdown.

The terrorist group that is fighting U.S. troops to return to power in Afghanistan accused politicians of "sucking the blood of their own people," reported Agence France-Presse and Al-Arabiya news service.

"The American people should realize that their politicians play with their destinies as well as the destinies of other oppressed nations for the sake of their personal vested interests," said the statement issued by the Taliban. .....

It said U.S. politicians were guilty of taking U.S. citizens' money "earned with great difficulty" and then "lavishly spending the same money in shedding the blood of the innocent and oppressed people."

"Instead of sucking the blood of their own people... this money should be utilized for the sake of peace," it said, an apparent reference to the money spent keeping it from power. Complete article

If that wasn't embarrassing enough, Government shutdown means paychecks for federal prisoners, not prison workers!

I suppose I could have made something almost as ridiculous up; but it wouldn't match the foolishness they come up with on their own.
