While Congress fights over memorials, the repugican shutdown risks health and safety of millions
No government, but keep the memorials.
I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that closing the war monuments was
rapidly seized upon by repugicans as the most offensive thing about
closing down the government. Programs for children, pregnant women, food
safety and the rest of it can of course be shut down for the duration,
but our war monuments—now that's the thing that just will not do. Just
as with previous hurried efforts to refund the FAA lest congressional
arsonists find their planes irritatingly delayed, it seems appropriate
that the caucus can only find themselves worked up about the things they
can see out their own windows. They're infants. They have yet to
develop object permanence.
