EEEK! THERE’S A MOUSE ON YOUR DESK!

WEEKLY WHINE

US government existence still a thing

Last week, the US government shutdown ended with Congress passing a continuing resolution to fund major federal agencies at the same rates.

Members of Congress then spent the weekend either acting as though this was an accomplishment [“Yaaay! We agreed to continue spending money in exactly the same way!”] or acting as though this was a disaster [“Boooo! We capitulated and agreed to continue spending money in exactly the same way!”].

So, with the economic crisis solved, the US Congress can now proceed with other important matters, like immigration reform and Syrian chemical weapons disposal.

What’s that? The continuing resolution expires early next year? And so does the debt ceiling?

Oh, fuck you, Congress.

And it’s not just us saying that. According to a recent poll, Congress’s ratings are: 13% approval, 61% disapproval, and 26% approval of a resolution encouraging members of Congress to go fuck themselves.

Of course, as the next crises plague the US government, we here at the GoobNet Satellite Programming Live Using Television network will continue to bring live programming to your television using satellites. Our US politics desk is currently covering these continuing stories.
