1. A barrier (usually temporary) that exists for no reason.
2. A barrier erected for political reasons.
“Dude, Obama barrycaded the park.”
“Hey, let’s put up some barrycades to keep those World War II veterans away from the open-air World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., in order to try and score some cheap political points.”
What I've been wondering about the barrycades...
When the government does something stupid, I can always count on the internet to satisfy my appetite for sarcasm and snark…
Americans are pretty fed up with Washington…
…including former Star Trek-er George Takei who posted this to his Facebook page:
Time for furloughs? Imgur wants to get this party started:
Budgetary snark abounds:
And movie memes:
The website IsTheGovernmentShutDown.com is actually getting traffic.
And president Obama is outsourcing his tech issues:
I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take a leave. I thought that maybe if I acted “CRAZY” then he would tell me to take a few days off.
So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker (who’s blonde) asked me what I was doing?
I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was “CRAZY” and give me a few days off.
A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked “What are you doing?” I told him I was a light bulb. He said “You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days.”
I jumped down and walked out of the office. When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her “And where do you think you’re going?”
She said, “I’m going home too, I can’t work in the dark!”
LOL!!! Love that!
A Muslim, a Kenyan, and a communist walk into a bar. The bartender says, “What’ll you have, Mr. President?”
In the 90’s here with a big chill on the way. Only be in the 70’s tomorrow. Brrrr
Dallas Vets are headed to DC to visit their memorial today. I hope I see lots of happy pictures.
In any case, thanks for digging it up and posting. Gave me the giggles, it did!

Pictures, anyone?
“I could eat a can of alphabet soup and crap a better argument than the one you just made.”
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it.

Words to live by....
Tommy came home from work last night and found that the sewers had backed up in the neighborhood. The sewage was backed up all the way to the roof in his house. Now Tommy has two choices, raise the ceiling or pump out the poop. What should he do?
CONGRESS, PLEASE TAKE NOTE

Those computers look like 1984-vintage Macintoshes.
Ted Cruz ducked.
