They blocked off open air monuments?

The government has to be open for business to allow folks in an open outdoor space to walk or wheel around? Dog and pony show.

Ha! Great story, dude. Thanks!

You really think a bunch of guys who stormed Omaha Beach, endured the hell....

...of Iwo Jima, and fought off the Panzer Divisions in the Cold and snow of Bastogne, will be held back by a couple of Obama Barricades?

A Bangalore torpedo charge under the barricades would have been priceless...and appropriate.

Yep, Dog and Pony show. Wonder how much it cost to print all the fancy signs saying that the park is closed due to shutdown. And what about paying the government worker to put the signs and barricades up. How's that work if they are supposed to be shut down.

I know an employee of the federal government who is laid off. With pay. Go figure the logic of that.

I can't say

W certainty, but he probably meant that he's furloughed with the high liklihood of being back paid.
