Government shut downs. Giddiness. Drunkenness. Don't-give-a-fuck-about-Americaness.

What. The. Hell.

Yeah.

I don't EVEN.

This stands to impact my family (veteran grandfather; needs pension and healthcare) and my friends (because who doesn't have a veteran relative in this area) and ..

my boss who I very much like and respect came in to work today crowing about how we should just not have a government as long as we pay the military and I don't even.

Oh my goodness, Red! That's absolutely horrible and I'm wishing you all the best and keeping you guys in my thoughts! D:

Uhhh...your boss is...interesting...@__@

*sigh* And the ugliest thing about this is that Republicans assert that they did this because of Obamacare...but Obamacare was coming (and is here) anyway. *facepalms* How did this happen to us...?

Thanks. ^^ My mom tells me that Gramps is at least in a pretty stable situation right now, so hopefully if they turn the money off, he can be OK for a bit. And his house is paid for which is HUGE. So, my initial panic is not warranted, it seems. Whew!

My boss is interesting. My job requires high levels of critical thinking, so for someone to come in saying stuff like that is just... o_o?

I'm just glad I'm allowed to like and respect people who sometimes don't make any sense. ^^;

I have seen so many posts yesterday and today saying "OH IRONY! Obamacare is the only part of the government currently functioning!" I admit, I'm getting a chuckle out of it...

[amarie24]

Oh, thank GOODNESS for your grandfather's fortunes! And niiiiiiiiiice on paid-for house that's huge. ;)

*winces* ...I know what you mean about interacting with people that don't make any sense sometimes. Yep. I feel your pain, my friend.

And YES! Obamacare is here, even though there are major glitches, LOL! But I heard that this shutdown may continue for a week...D:

...I'm not surprised at this.

There will, however be a very long string of curses that the censors will need to put on the seven-second delay.

[BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

[amarie24]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Ahhh, that made me laugh! And I shouldn't be laughing because this is serious and actually hurts people.

...But then, I'm a hypocrite because I laughed plenty at Jon Stewart's take on it. Yep.
