Do you suppose anyone would notice if the Government actually shut down at Midnight this Friday?

So much stuff flying around this week, including the snow that always panics residents of the Swamp. We got only a dusting in placid Arlington, with the heavier concentration to the east in Maryland. Traffic was predictably awful regardless, and with a monthly luncheon meeting out in the wolds of Reston. Shivering, too, with temperatures not expected to get above freezing until tomorrow.

Georgia is going to get more than a dusting, and flights out of Hartsfield International are already being cancelled to get prepared.

There is plenty of warming to go around, mostly in some blunt talk that the President either did or did not say, which might have discussed the places that some immigrants come from. The whole thing seems unseemly, considering we might have a reasonable expectation that prospective new Americans have some sort of useful skill. I mean, it only seems fair, right?

I imagine we will get all this sorted out, somehow. I remember a time when Authorizors and Appropriators actually did their jobs, don’t you?
