It Was The Longest Shutdown in Years, and All I Got Was This Lousy Indigestion

I was hoping the shutdown would go on longer as a matter of principle, but it looks like what's gone on these past two weeks has accomplished nothing on our behalf.  Monica Crowley calls it "The Shameful Cave-In".  It's nothing we haven't seen before -- back in 2009,  Joseph Farah said this about the Republicans: "The point is that the so-called 'opposition party' has decided to lie down in the face of this human-wave assault on American sensibilities."  Obama's radical agenda will now continue unchecked.  We can't catch a break.
