  1. Dream on, Washington Rag.

    Sequestration is effecting the fabric of the Government at all levels. Vital programs, especially defense programs, are being cancelled, not started, and stretched thin.

    It is directly impacting on the US’s ability to defend itself.

    The idiots on Capitol Hill just don’t get it. By the time they do or we throw them out, it’ll be too late.
