With 20 Minutes To Shutdown - House Reconvenes - Live Feed

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/30/2013 23:42 -0400

We presume it is to sing Auld Lang Syne but with 20 minutes left until the inevitable, it can really only be ensure they get the last soundbites in before the ball drops...

C'mon: put your knee down and run out the clock!!!!

C'mon, Sing with me:

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp !
and surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes,
and pu’d the gowans fine ;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl’d i' the burn,
frae morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
and gie's a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
for auld lang syne.

All of this shutdown talk is boring. Nobody cares. We don't need 1000 articles on it.

Don't worry, it gets better. Tomorrow we read Michael Snyder's 50 ways the shutdown turns apocalyptic.

It is actually "Cojones".

B,bb, but: COHIBA

Mon, 09/30/2013 - 23:56 | 4008387 akak

Which is properly (if not usually by Americans) pronounced "Coe-EE-bah", with no "H" in it.

The letter "H" is silent in Spanish, except following a "C" to make the "ch" sound.

The letter "J" in Spanish has more or less the sound of an English "H" (but harsher).

(I stuck this on the last post, but hey, information needs to be free.....)

hate to tell you this, but it really is all theater. The only folks who are going to stop working tomorrow are those whose absence will create a photo op or a story.

Barracades at the Lincoln Memorial, a few carefully selected benefit checks halted. Please don't think this particular noise is anything more than another turd hitting a very large pile down a very dark hole.

Once some contributions are rung up and some 'base' becomes 'excited' all will be as it was. A bit of cost tacked on for the fun and games, of course.

No, it needs to be ROOT and BRANCH burned out. Root and branch.

A real shutdown would need to be at least a month to make any difference. Agencies have planty of 'spare change' stashed away to ride out nuisances like this one.

Or, to make it count close those NSA rat nests.....but bring some backup in person to make sure. Now THAT would take some balls.

Mon, 09/30/2013 - 23:54 | 4008400 DoChenRollingBearing

TSA. NSA. IRS. FBI. Customs Agents.

Shut them Down! A great experiment in freedom!

Mon, 09/30/2013 - 23:58 | 4008421 Uncle Remus

A real shutdown would need to be some Old Testament-style Biblical-scale smotage to eradicate this wretched hive of scum and villainy. As in, from orbit - to be sure.

According to the fossil record, Mos Eisley did exist on Earth millions of years ago.

Or did my conspiracy hat just get bigger?

Every day the Fed Gov is shut down is Free National Park Day. Nobody to collect the "entrance fee", no game wardens to prevent living off the land. Take a sick day and go hunting, fishing or just durn well enjoy some hanging out at YOUR National Park.

and despite a certain party that is 'in power' rhetoric, the Veterans Administration is funded (the only cabinet level department interestingly) for the future coming year.

John Adams, GW, TJeff, James Monroe, AHamilton, JohnJay, Carroll brothers, etc., ... they risked everything for this?!

House should just feed the Senate one small Bill after another, funding, say, the Nat'l Parks (only) first. Then pick another, then another, then another.

An then don't pick Obamacare.

It is farce, spectacle, political grand standing beyond the pale, a complete cluster fuck of political misdirection wholly intended to obfuscate and mislead regarding the truly insurmountable extent of the fiscal train wreck which is not only inevitable but which is getting closer day by day. Denial and delay are not strategies. A very difficult day of reckoning is at hand!

So well technically now, the republicans voted to fund the govt.

The democrats turned the offer down.

So by my book, the democrats shut it down , not the republicans.

BUT certainly it is fair to say the republicans presented a questionable offer.

The compromise should of been to fund the government for 1 week, to delay Obama care 1 week and to hold a conference with the purpose of weeding out the flaws of t he law.
