Hi! My wife is being kinda recalled from the teabaggers' shutdown. [View all]

My lovely wife of 15+ years was laid off last Monday. She is a Maine state worker but her department if fully funded by the Feds, so she was laid off when Ted Cruz decided to kick his little temper tantrum into the high moron gear.

Yesterday, she and several others in her office were offered the opportunity to fill open positions in other state offices until the shutdown is over. It's a lower rate of pay, but it's also a full time job, which will pay a hell of a lot more than if she'd been collecting unemployment.

Are we still immensely pumped off at Ted Cruz & his merry band of House teabagger morons? Yes.
Are we going to remember this totally unnecessary fiasco perpetrated by the stupidest congressional caucus since the copperheads? Yes.
Are we going to be advocating long and loudly for every teabagger to get his/her ass thrown out of office in their next election? Yes!
Are we going to be equally loud in linking EVERY SINGLE Republican to this teabagger movement that they so wholeheartedly embraced not so long ago? Yes.
Are we still going to consider our loudmouthed, crude, obnoxious and not very bright teabagger governor to be a malignant pimple on the ass of our state even though he has recalled some of the workers that his buddies in congress threw out of work? Hell, yes.
Are we still very pumped off about these damned baggers and their "government by temper tantrum" and NO to everything that is Obama view of their Fox "News" world? HELL YES!

Is our anger about this going to go away ANYTIME soon? No.
Are we going to forget that there are still some 800.000 people whose livelihoods are endangered by these morons who are still collecting THEIR paychecks while working out in their "kept open by John Boehner" private gym? HELL NO!

I just thought I'd share. Thank you for reading.

That's my 2 cents, and quite possibly overpriced at that!

PEACE!
