Feds Removed Handles From 40 Public Water Pumps Along C&O Canal
CNSNews ^ | 10/14/2013 | Barbara Hollingsworth

National Park Service (NPS) rangers removed the handles from some 40 public water pumps and closed restrooms in the 184.5 mile- C&O Canal National Historical Park, but they haven’t been able to keep hikers and bikers off the popular trail known as a “cyclist’s dream.”

“It’s full every day,” said Gail Hall, who runs Mountain Side Bikes at the trailhead in Cumberland, Md. “They’re bringing in their own water and utilizing the tree-lined areas [of the park] for restrooms. Some towns like Harper’s Ferry even brought in potties to accommodate them. As long as they can pedal, they don’t care.”

It doesn’t matter how or who has been taken over, dishonest votes count for just as much as honest ones and maybe more so.

Oh MAMA can this REALLY Be The END

to be stuck Inside of the Obamanation

with the America BLUES Again!

The COnsitution Died last week

Now its buried in a Box

Everybody still talks about how greatly they were shocked

but me I expected it to happen and I knew we’d lost control

when Obama Built a FIre On Mainstreet

and shot it full of holes..

Repeat Chorus

Wanna bet those handles will either be misplace or broken so the taxpayers will have to buy new ones? Who’s taking them off since most rangers are furloughed?

The news here is that just one ranger is manning the fish hatchery. Oooh, the poor fishies! They’re going to starve without someone to feed them!!! It’s so difficult to drive the golf cart around to the tanks and dump in a bag of dog food and a bag of alfalfa pellets, don’cha know. But just ONE ranger is having to do all this. The truth is, he and his family live in the gov provided home mere feet from the tanks, the small hatchery is closed so there’s not the usual handful of straggling visitors per week, no need to clean closed restrooms, no need to mow, and it only employees 4 rangers so no big deal.

close enough for jazz

I post banners or a couple of forums where the "readers" might not be able to grasp the concept of Chairman O-ba-Mao

If 100,000 little minded federal employees think they can be clever in making life as painful as possible, imagine say 150,000,000 pissed off peasants can come up with to reciprocate the favor.

Small businesses can try to find out which of their customers work for the Federal Government and simply refuse to serve them.
