National Hall of Shame
These are taken directly from our late government's websites. I didn't want to forget this day. I am trying to recall the words of the national anthem: the "what so proudly we hail" part where we still see the flag waving through the "perilous night." What a joke. Next Republican I see wearing a flag pin, I will need to be restrained from ripping it off their lapels and piercing their noses with it.

If there is a lapse, many agencies will shut down operations and furlough employees except for those necessary to support possible emergencies. At the NRC, however, we have some “carryover” funding, which is essentially previous year’s funding that was not expended. By being careful with that money, the NRC should be able to remain open for at least one additional week of largely normal operations.
