And sequestration hits Indy . . .

Since yesterday, I'he been noticing no planes coming in on approach to the airport -- only a few planes flying high overhead. I haven't seen the skies this empty since 9/11. I think it's to do with cutbacks at the FAA due to sequestration.

Administratively, Indianapolis no longer exists. Sorry 'bout that.

I hope people are placing the blame for this where it belongs: on the Repugs and their intransigence.

Please don't take it personally, though. In keeping with our new national educational standards, they eliminated the cities that were the hardest to remember how to spell. Albuquerque was the first to go.

I've heard rumors they're planning to sequester the whole state of Mississippi. Or was it Massachusetts?
