    First time in my adult life that the GOP did not shoulder all the blame for a shutdown. Kinda weird.

    I hope this doesn't turn into a series of mini-shutdowns.

    The GOP's unofficial slogan is: "Government doesn't work, elect us and we'll prove it." If they will deliberately throw the game when they have <appropriate sports metaphor // control the government> there must be a perception that the consequences are all to their advantage.
