It's part of my new scared straight approach (But enough about the New York Giants)

October 2013

"It is now day 11 of the government shutdown and we knew sooner or later something like this was going to happen. Despite the national parks being shut down, several men were severely mauled by bears yesterday. But enough about the New York Giants." –Jay Leno

"It's day 15 of the government shutdown. President Obama said he was hopeful an agreement would be reached tonight. Part of the problem is that Republicans can't even agree among themselves on what they want. Which means Obama doesn't know what to tell them they can't have." –Jimmy Kimmel

"The effects of the shutdown are being felt in the White House vegetable garden. Because the gardeners have been furloughed, the vegetables are starting to rot. Is it possible that President Obama intentionally engineered the shutdown just so he would have an excuse to eat a cheeseburger?" –Jimmy Kimmel

"Just when you think that Congress could not do anything less, they manage too. At this point the government is like a house on Halloween that turns out the lights and leaves a bowl of candy on the front porch." –Jimmy Kimmel
