WASHINGTON (AP) — As the partial government shutdown slipped into the record books Saturday as the longest ever, members of Congress were out of town, no negotiations were scheduled and President Donald Trump tweeted into the void.

He did not tip his hand on whether he will move ahead with an emergency declaration that could break the impasse, free up money for his wall without congressional approval and kick off legal challenges and a political storm over the use of that extraordinary step. A day earlier, he said he was not ready to do it “right now.”

Figured someone would have thought of that. The album (if not singular song) that basically invented all “stoner metal” via the D♭ guitar tuning.

I got one. It reads like stereo instructions. Just getting to the part where you draw a door and knock three times . . .

into the AP reporters’ “void”.

President Trump has Triumphed again!

The Democrats own this shutdown!

This Shutdown only happened after Pelosi returned, her and Schumer need only to look in the mirror to eat this shutdown as each and every day drags on!

GO TRUMP GO! ….. all the way to VICTORY!

So I guess they count weekends and holidays? Days when there isn’t a govt employee within sight of a govt office?

Ummm....guys....I left it on the coffee table. Think it’ll be okay there?

Let’s see now. Trump has some 80 million Twitter followers. So now some 455 politicians are off to a well deserved vacation, after a strenuous 2 whole weeks on the job. That leaves only 79,999,545 Twitter followers left. That certainly is a major void!

I have a sneaking suspicion that Ozzy is conservative. Yea, I know..the Prince of Darkness is a Conservative? Maybe not. But on his recent TV show with his son Jack, he visited the Ark Encounter and turned in a very pleasant episode. Indeed, many of the employees seemed to be closeted Sabbath fans. Combine that with a moment years ago, when his kids weren't getting along in school in CA and Ozzy suggested homeschooling, you never know...

Into what “void”?

The skulls of the Ass Press people are all void.

Aside from having the “stoner rock” sound, quite a few songs on “Master Of Reality” sound very Christian-themed. “After Forever” comes to mind.

Rocket engines burning fuel so fast
Up into the night sky they blast
Through the universe the engines whine
Could it be the end of man and time?
Back on earth the flame of life burns low
Everywhere is misery and woe
Pollution kills the air, the land, the sea
Man prepares to meet his destiny, yeah

Rocket engines burning fuel so fast
Up into the black sky so vast
Burning metal through the atmosphere
Earth remains in worry, hate and fear
With the hateful battles raging on
Rockets flying to the glowing sun
Through the empires of eternal void
Freedom from the final suicide

Freedom fighters sent out to the sun
Escape from brainwashed winds and pollution
Leave the earth to all its sin and hate
Find another world where freedom waits, yeah

Past the stars in fields of ancient void
Through the shields of darkness where they find
Love upon a land a world unknown
Where the sons of freedom make their home
Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves
Leave them to their future in their graves
Make a home where love is there to stay
Peace and happiness in every day

Lyrics to the song that the AP headline (inadvertently?) referenced.

I’ve wondered the same thing about Ozzy. I’ve seen every episode of Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour. EXCELLENT show!
