Any of you Freepers really surprised that hardworking bureaucrats would feel they deserved a little time off over the holidays?

They can celebrate when it gets too dark to work—hey, that’s when the fireworks are displayed! Works out pretty well that way.

I keep hearing what we are going to do.

I would like to hear what we are doing or what we have done.

"Good enough for government work."

The Feds will get paid whether or not the oil gets cleaned up. No skin off their noses.

Now if they started building the levee without a permit, we can be sure that the pencil pushers who stop real Americans from getting things done would be able to step in despite the weekend.

Mr Jay Vise, thank you at least for exposing this.

I am not sure about you, but there are millions and millions who have no idea of the tragic worldview of government (socialist) employment. I have worked Federal, State, and private, and the simple fact is, like the poster above says, government parasites get paid NO matter what they accomplish.

That is the sickness of Leftism!

The one exception is soldiers, who in their crises face life or death no matter what.

It is competition which keeps all of us honest. In macroeconomics that competition is called capitalism. Perhaps a misleading nomenclature, but whatever free enterprise and conmpetition is collectively called, that is what keeps all of us honest. Just like evolution.

Barack Obama and associates are truly the most tragic political regime that has ever struck the United States. It could have been all different: good competition, but still charity, imagination, freedom, self-honesty.

But we got Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emmanuel, and Barack Obama. A sad reflection I guess of ourselves.

“last Friday that discussion on the plan would have to be put on hold until the following Monday, because the Corps office would be closed for the weekend. “

So the parish had 3 days to work without federal govt interference. What are they waiting for?

How many times has the teleprompter made Obama tell us that "We will not rest until this hole is plugged...blah, blah..".

How many vacations has Obama taken since the well blew?

How many golf adventures has he been on?

How many times he shot hoops?

This commieclown has been resting since the oath of office.
