Government Shutdown Countdown

Day 7

In Congressional News, we go live to the Capitol to check in with our distinguished men and women at the Congressional Fight Club.  Yes, it's a melee, donkeys vs. elephants in a no-holds-barred cage fight, with both contenders claiming they will be the last man ... um, no.. last beast standing.

Frankly, both sides look the worse for wear.  Battered and beaten, each one seems to be looking for the white towel, belatedly realizing that they signed on for a Death Match.  Who will walk away, and who will be carried?  It's just too early to tell.

When asked to comment on the match so far, a member of the audience replied, "Well, I've got a nickle on the fat one with the long nose, but this fight looks more like a circus side show than a grudge match.  If I was at home, I would have changed the channel by now."

Well, doesn't say it all.
