I have some friends that work for Fed letter agencies and they are still going to work without pay. I do feel bad for them, but they understand completely.
We did offer to have them over for dinner at least twice/week to help them cut some expenses for food and entertainment.

Based on BHO's golfing schedule, I'm beginning to think this might be a long one.
Good news? Additional deficit reduction.

This is interesting since in our furlough letter it stated that working during the furlough, either in the office, at home, or at the coffee shop, will be reason for adverse action or dismissal. And it will get your supervisor a letter of reprimand since he obviously didn't explain the rules well enough. We were required to leave laptops and blackberries at work.

Different agency, different rules perhaps?

At least he's getting paid.

Had a few minutes to watch Cavuto interview Pat Buchannan 10 minutes ago. Cavuto made a particularly interesting observation... What happens 2 weeks from today, when the debt ceiling limit is nearing and the government is still shut down... and people come to realize that nothing critical is missing from their lives? That shutting out 800,000 government employees is saving them money and doing little discernible harm? And that as "problems" are found, the House is spitting out CR's to immediately fill the gaps..... Want the WWII Memorial reopened? A potential problem at NIH? The CR's have already passed the House.

Hmmmm.... This might just work out after all.

Have a nice trip to Bali Mr. President.
Just like you split town for a fundraiser to Las Vegas the morning after the murder of your Libyan Ambassador, you again are fiddling while trying to make America burn. We see through your attempt at petty tyranny. We'll be here when you get back. Right here where you left us when you decided a trip to Bali was better optics than sitting down with Congress to do the Peoples business. You, Sir, have no clothes. Me--> You -->
