These parks are owned by the federal government. We say when they are open and when they are closed. You just know that's what they are thinking. The thought that national parks and monuments might belong to the American people never enters their pointed little heads.

Anymore, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Thanks again for the ping.

The NPS needs to be seriously smacked down. For two generations (40 yr.).

This has the least satire of any satire I’ve read lately.
You have to step it up a notch.

He is stepping it up. Reality is simply outsatiring his ability to satire.

remember,..its satire Suuuuuuuuure it is....
Another good one John!! Only problem was, I couldn't find the part where it diverged from the truth....
We really are living in one big-ass satire. It's freakin' disorienting.
Carry on John, you're the voice of sanity.

These parks are owned by the federal government. We say when they are open and when they are closed. It's happening in the State of Washington. Essential employees are actually telling people to go away.
Although some hikers are continuing to hike in National Forests by walking around closed fences... don't get hurt because it is going to be extremely difficult to be rescued. Instead, enjoy the regional and state parks.

As usual, your satire is right on the mark.
It is the politicians’ desire to make those closings hurt the public as much as possible.

Hopefully this gets everyday folks to become disgusted by ALL federal employees.
Treat them all the way they usually treat the general population, like crap.

Well done!
HOWEVER, You missed so many great opportunities for satire: Catholic priests being forbidden to say Mass, perform marriages and Baptisms, etc.; Obama’s golf course and Camp David open while military grocery stores are locked; Obama recreating while the military is denied NFL TV coverage on base.
There has been enough nonsense this week for 10 semi-news reports!
To: John Semmens
Let's not forget that some of these old guys stormed the beaches of Normandy facing down Nazi artillery and machine gunsfirepower that, thus far, has been denied to us. Not for long!

Fortunately, this generation is dying off and future efforts to prevent unauthorized intrusions onto government property should go more smoothly.
I wish this were only a joke.
Seems like other generations will let the government do whatever it feels like for the most part.
I'm thinking because most of them know nothing about having to fight. (sometimes just to stay alive)
So much has just been handed to them- Thanks to the Fighters that came did.
Thanks for the ping
Of course you're right on target as usual.
Thanks to what the Fighters that came first did.
