How insulting for monkeys.

I cannot believe they left the FAA in the ditch. This will be a backlash….for Congress and Obama. It’s not just bad, it’s a catastrophe….

As log as their flights aren’t interrupted, what do they care?

Well it will be a month or so of no harm, the rest of the world must be laughing their rears off…this is embarrassing..

I see my congressman in this group.

I thought rats deserting a sinking ship of state, but monkeys are OK too.

Let’s see how The Street reacts.

And the market reacted to the Debt Limit increase that cut services to the poor and slashed their own throats. Poor profit taking bastards, they will sink us all.

Yep, these are the folks I want running my health care…
