GROWLTIGER HAS WRITTEN SOME SATIRE CONCERNING THE SEQUESTER. WE BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND IT BOTH AMUSING AND INTERESTING
Here's her blog address
if you would like to read more of her writing:
Well, we got sequestered yesterday, but apparently the sun didn't get the message because Old Sol came up as usual this morning. Of course, there is the possibility that the across the board cuts in increased spending affected NASA so the space agency couldn't get the furlough memo to the sun.
On the bright side
(no pun intended) lack of sunlight might slow global warming
a smidgen so we'll get another four or five months out of the planet
before it's incinerated and the carbon units infesting the orb (us)
choke to death on greenhouse gas. Oh, wait. Because of the hard winters
we've had the last few years, it's no longer global warming that's the
problem; it's now climate change which thankfully covers all the bases.
Otherwise environmentalists might get whiplash warning us about the
latest misbehavior of capitalism.
What Sequestration
amounts to is that the government was supposed to get a raise (an
increase in spending) and will still get a raise, just not as large a
raise as it expected and wanted. So under the "administration" of
President Obama, the government is going to throw a temper tantrum.
Teachers will be laid off, cops will be fired, fire fighters will have
to stand by and let your house burn down. Never mind that teachers, cops
and fire fighters are state or local workers and it's the federal
government that got sequestered. Details. American citizens are not
supposed to worry their pretty, little, empty heads about such mundane
things as what our illustrious officials do with our money.
