ONE TEA PARTIER to another: "Let's shut down the government and then complain about the closings."

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES are off the job but will be paid their wages anyway. Isn't that called "vacation"?

WHERE'S JOE BIDEN? White House is trying to get his feet out of his mouth. Under Obamacare, they can't find a doctor to do it!
