I'm worried about Yogi Bear.

El Mundo (Spain) sees the Republicans "acting like pirates. Their blackmailing of the president shows that they have lost all common sense."

And Britain's Independent scoffs at the Republicans, calling the actions of its right-wing Tea Party faction to block the budget "tyranny by an extremist minority."

What they are attempting to do is nullify the 2012 and 2008 elections. I thought the nut-case behaviour would cease, however I was wrong.

The opposition party was almost orgasmic trying to kick Clinton out of office, and are as bitter as spurned lovers it didn't work. If Bill Clinton could have run for a third term he would have won. Now I see Speaker Boehner flip back and forth uncomfortably because deep down he knows previous Speaker Nancy Pelosi was more of a man than he is. Pelosi would have reigned in that drooling idiot and remove him from any committee or sub-committee where he might be dangerous.

Forecasters vented their frustration about the government shutdown with a discreet message that says ‘please pay us’

After their plea was rumbled, the forecasters updated their predictions and changed the wording slightly

Naw, it will be electoral ancient history by then. Careers will be won or lost based on the scandal du jour in the closing months of the campaign.
