Not to worry-the taxpayer funded Congressional Barber Shop and Gym have been deemed "essential" and have remained open during the shutdown. The House gym features a swimming pool, basketball courts, paddleball courts, a sauna, a steam room and flat screen TVs.

The daily operating costs of the gym are also not allowed to be revealed due to "security reasons"-in case a terrorist wants insight on how to open a tax-payer funded gym and keep it open without protest during a Government shutdown.

I suggest that you take a trip to Somalia for about 6 months and then report back. There is very little government to speak of there.

Sadly, we do. This is not as big a matter as the media is making it out to be, but unfortunately, we need government. SOME government.

I thought Nancy Pelosi's face looked incredibly clean-shaven today.

Thank god they left these two "essentials" open for all of those incredibly hard-working, chock-full-of-character-and-integrity morons.

Haha, and then these failed representatives wonder why they are no longer treated as human beings.

Ditto Libya, which is run by competing militias with a very thin veneer of central government. It's so chaotic there that the prime minister was kidnapped the other day. And of course it's an environment where US government officials have to fear for their lives.

Sounds like a RWNJ's dream come true! And to think they blame Obama for creating that state of affairs.

They definitely deserve to get treated like the pigs that they behave like......just like Pink Floyd pointed out on the album "Animals".

All y'all radical anti-gummint tax protesting self-sufficient wannabes sure like to whine instead of making your lives into what y'all think they should be.

Just sell yer current place and move way out in the boonies where's it's just dirt roads and no water/sewer, utilities, or schools within 30 miles. Put a wood burner in yer trailer, shoot gophers for dinner, and drink out of a well.

Heck, get a goat fer milk and a coupla hens fer eggs.

Low taxes and no gummint thugs coming around to pester you.

Your own little slice o' paradise
