I really like the National Parks & forests. Yeah, they can overdo it with the roads and [expletive] like that. But it's one of the things that sets US apart from the rest of the world. Imagine if these places weren't protected -it would go the way of the Buffalo. we'd have a few wealthy private estates in the country and scorched earth for the rest of us.

The sequester was already taking it's toll. We may say, it will do nature some good to be left alone awhile. But it isn't left alone. Poachers, grazers, meth labbers, stupid Boy Scout troops trashing up the place . And though I like to get into the backcountry, it's pretty awesome that there are some paths and views accessible to everyone, including people that can't get around very well.

Shame that it all gets used for political games. However, it illustrates what politics has always been about - Power and control of resources.

Ooooo - Boehner's next move will be to hold his breath until his demands are met!
“This isn’t some damned game,” said Speaker John A. Boehner, his voice rising in anger. “The American people don’t want their government shut down, and neither do I. All we’re asking for is to sit down and have a discussion, reopen the government and bring fairness to the American people under Obamacare.”
Dude - its the law of the land voted by both houses of Congress, signed by the President, upheld by the Supreme Court. You don't change or make laws holding the budget hostage. Haha.

Baby Boehner.

Drunk.

I'll bet if the breweries were impacted by the shutdown, we'd have a deal by now.

I'm pretty sure DC would have been burnt to the ground 15 min after the shutdown if the breweries were impacted.

Deregulating the brewing of beer was Jimmy Carter's greatest domestic achievement.

It is affecting breweries. Heavy Riff in Dogtown unable to get approval to brew onsite due to shutdown.
