The football is grounded, but the president isn’t. Yep, yep, just about like everything liberal, the rules shall apply to thee, not me.

No news on whether or not the IRS, EPA or DEA has been shut down.
I certainly hope so, but I doubt it.

The king and the queen might have to share the same plane the next time they fly to Europe for another vacation.

This decision will cost the military millions of dollars in ticket and advertising revenue and will not save a dime.

Cancel a footbal game? Sure!
Cancel one of Nobama's golf games - that with the SS protection and his Chopper One ride to the links - costs the same as the football game?
NEVER!!

Too bad ...but I really don’t give a crap about that. Our republic is in shambles for Christ’s sake.

Good.
It’s if he likes the military we worry. He doesn’t like anything that doesn’t adore him.
What am I saying?
Standards just drop and drop.
