Sequester, shutdown and now we're headed for the fiscal cliff -- again. Can the plague of frogs be far behind?

Day, well I lost count
Capital Grill, NY

Had the Lobster bisque soup with a dash of sherry for appetizer then the swordfish with seasonal vegetables and an order of fries went mostly unmolested. I can't even remember what the vegetables were before the Sequester

Will my Grandkids believe me when I tell them what life was like?

Grandkid: Mom! Grandpa is telling his Sequester Stories again and last time I couldn't sleep for a week! Make him stop!!

Mom: Oh just ignore him, he's making most of it up. He never really lived through the Sequester, nobody did

In case you forgot or never knew or haven't seen all of the evidence of the dire consequences of the sequester or what it is, Mamz Jonez 'splains the sequester:

Now that you know, you might appreciate how we got to be in this dire mess where the zombies are the only living entities (well, kind of living?) who seem aware of the dire consequences of the sequester.

There ARE consequences.

Those consequences ARE dire.

I know.

Obambam said they would be.

For simplicity sake the period of the shutdown during the sequester is called the Shutquester

*yawn*


Dems blamed September decreases on the shutdown. (lol -- really, they did)

What will they say now?

 

[Amelia]

Apparently the sequester ended. I didn't notice when, but the White House is open for tours, so all must be good.




... but don't forget your photo ID.

OMG!!

Free at last!!

It's finally over!

Obama promised to lift the sequester and hopefully this will be a promise he keeps

We should form a Support Group

Maybe "I Survived the Sequester" T-shirts?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Or "Obama Went to Washington and all I got was this lousy Sequester" T shirt?

Or "Obama Went to Washington and all I got was this lousy Sequester" T shirt?

Thought about ordering a few for the family next door. But someone ate them.






I hope it was wolves.

I wanted to write a blog detailing my day to day struggles to survive.
Turned out that I didn't write one line.
