Govt. Shutdown

[RidgeRunner]

I got an e-mail from FWC. (Florida Wildlife Commission) To paraphrase: State Parks will remain Open and FWC officers would be on duty, as per normal.

All Federal Parks CLOSED.

I saw a blurb about some WWII Vets that were scheduled to rendevous at the Memorial in DC today. The police allowed them to pass by the barricades to make it to the otherwise closed venue. That is a good thing. Some people have some common sense still.

Bad thing is I hear Congress is still getting a paycheck.

Wilson, With respect to NOAA- we could close them down forever. Our local newsies can get it done with respect to calling the weather. You know 50/50. Heck I could do it without Doppler. LOL
Let the Fishery people find new jobs, away from the guberment and off our nickel. Then we can get some thinkers in there instead of a load of horse pucky that we have today.
Do you recall the guy from New Bedford that lost his boat for fishing in an alleged closed area, fined for it and then summarily dismissed as guilty without a trial by NOAA. They pulled his ticket and his life savings. Then a few enforcement guys from NOAA embezzle the fine money by taking lavish government sponsored vacations and huge bonus checks. It was exposed on Dan Rather Reports a few months ago IIRC.
Gut the MFer.
