According to a “Contingency Staffing Plan for Operations” for U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, page 3, the partial government shutdown will, however, prevent the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from performing its role to protect the citizenry from influenza. …

Ted Grumble on NBC said in a few days that’s when the country loses its ability to pay all its billed on time.
I’m scared. Let’s not pay the won for a start.

They're just like Viagra ... if you need it, you probably shouldn't be taking it.

Unfortunately, I would bet that the only thing in those shots for Congressmen and Reporters is water.

After all, they know what's in the flu shots.

Today as I went out to check my mailbox, forgetting that it was Columbus Day, it occurred to me that mail delivery had not ceased during the shut-down. I wonder why. Obama could cause all sorts of mayhem by shutting down the US Postal Service and keeping businesses from sending out their bills and receiving their payments as well as keeping people from getting their packages and letters. Since his goal is to hurt the little people who don’t matter and blame it all on the Republicans I wonder why he hasn’t stopped the mail from being delivered.
