1. Sigh, I read or look at the news and it's as if the US is being run by the offspring of Goldfinger and Cruella Du Ville.

2. Government Shutdown 2018 - What's open and what's closed

The Statue of Liberty is not accepting huddled masses at this time, but the beleaguered U.S. Post Office is still processing packages and delivering mail after lawmakers failed to pass a spending bill on Friday, sending the federal government into shutdown limbo.

After the federal spending authority expired at midnight Saturday, federal workers deemed "non-essential" were furloughed, a temporary layoff. “Essential” federal workers are still on the job. Airports, national mail service, national security and law enforcement operations, among others, are still operating.

Most federal buildings are closed, but some are still operating with non-furloughed employees, they’re just not open to the public.

That seems a very apt description.

I know, right.

For a while I thought Goldfinger and Roseanne, but as much as I dislike Roseanne, I actually think she has a heart in there somewhere.
