This is the most ridiculous article ever written by the utterly ridiculous Washington Post in history. I’d like to pick out my favorite portions. Bear in mind that this is all from people living in an area that AVERAGES $700,000 homes, you know, people just like you and me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Mantua, 14 miles west of the Federal Triangle, the sledgehammer of budget cuts scheduled to hit today are a threat to financial stability, an unnecessary reminder of a political system that seems unable to solve problems, and, perhaps worst of all, a symbol of how dramatically perceptions of government work have shifted. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The remainder of this post if going under the fold, because I am about to lose my Spongebob-loving mind and use a metric shit ton <\/del>modicum of profanity.<\/p>\n

Seriously people, I am about to lose my mind right here, with more F bombs than you can shake a stick at. This is NSFW from here out.
\n<\/p>\n

Seriously, are you fucking kidding me? Tell me you are assing me with this bullshit. If this the fucking Duffel Blog?<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t even be sure that my pension check will get here,\u201d said [Jenny] Foo, who recently retired after 36 years at State, working on passports, issuing travel warnings, handling sensitive cases of Americans in trouble abroad. \u201cPeople at OPM [the Office of Personnel Management] have to cut the checks, and if they\u2019re on furlough, maybe the checks don\u2019t come through. It\u2019s going to affect everybody, filter down beyond us. No pension, no spending, it all trickles down.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I pity the Foo who thinks her fucking paycheck is not going to make it. Seriously. Turn off your TV set, pull your head out of your ass. Maybe walk around your million dollar neighborhood and clear your head of all the impacted shit from your anus. <\/p>\n

OK, you ready for this one? Seriously hold tight while I introduce you to the most sympathetic victim of our broken political system of all time:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an extremely threatening and highly insulting condition to find myself in,\u201d said a National Defense University professor who lives in Mantua and spoke on the condition of anonymity because of his high-level security clearance. \u201cIt\u2019s one thing to hear the constant negative drumbeat directed at federal workers from people outside Washington. It\u2019s another thing to have the threat of denial of livelihood.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his family, after four generations of military service, there was little question that he would go into public work. And for three decades, he\u2019s loved his job teaching political science to the nation\u2019s future top brass, despite the expectation that he work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hey “high-level security clearance” “National Defense University professor”, my advice to you is to go fuck yourself with a rusty rhinocerous horn. If you didn’t want to be subjected to a “constant negative drumbeat directed at federal workers” you could and should have gotten a real job. Why the hell are our “future top brass” learning political science anyway? Shouldn’t they know that shit? They went to college didn’t they? And why is his families military service pertinent? <\/p>\n

But you want to see just how inhumane this shit is getting? In order to eat, this guy is going to have to cut out his $5,000 bookshelves and (GASP!!!!) walk his own fucking dog:<\/p>\n

The professor has already cut back in anticipation of the forthcoming budget slashing: He told a carpenter who was going to build bookshelves in the living room that the $5,000 job will have to be put off, and he told his doggie day care provider that he\u2019ll have to go without that service when the furloughs kick in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You know, I happen to be friends with quite a few people who work for the Gov’t and are facing sequestration. Not a single one of them has cried to be about the plight of their Shitzu and where to place their leatherbound Twilight novels.<\/p>\n

Holy shit does this article aggravate me.<\/p>\n

I was once sympathetic to this whole thing, or at least I wanted to be. I understood we have to trim the budget and tough choices have to be made. Now after reading about Jenny Foo the Legend Continues and Professor Doesnthavealeash I don’t give two shits about their plight. I live in a house that is less than 1\/4 of these houses, for a non-profit, and if I lose my job, I have no chance of getting a similiar one as it doesn’t exist anywhere. I don’t bitch about my job, my pay, my plight in life. I handle the shit. I try to save, live within my means, and stay abreast of what is going on in the world. <\/p>\n

And I am supposed to sit here and lament that the Professor’s dog is going to have to shit on his own lawn instead of at the doggie day care? <\/p>\n
