At least the foliage colors are brightening up a bit to make up for it.

The funding impasse has reached its sixth day and for the first time it appears President Obama might finally be willing to negotiate a solution. Maybe.I ain't holding my breath.

The New England Patriots played the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati and it turned out to be a battle between defenses. In the end New England couldn't get it done and they lost their first game of the season, 13-6, bringing them to 4-1.What's worse is that they lost more players to injuries which weakens both their offense and defense.

Oh, I like this!Yet another moniker being bestowed upon Obama: President Stompy Foot. In this case I saw it applied in tweets about people being kicked out of their homes due to the government shutdown because they happen to be on federal land.
No wonder the White House has been renamed the “Spite House.” Obama wants to make sure he pisses off as many people as he can so they will blame the House Republicans, but it's backfiring because the people being adversely affected are laying the blame where it belongs: Obama and Reid.

Somehow I knew this: SEALs are quieter than ninjas. Well, at least until the SEALs open up with their automatic weapons, then they make a whole lot of noise!*************
It's funny how harsh reality easily blows away fantasies, particularly fantasies like ObamaCare.Once the bill for health insurance premiums arrive, reality intrudes and supporters of ObamaCare find they have to dig a lot deeper into their pockets to pay for the same or worse coverage than they had before.
