The Occasional Mid-Week Molly (Time to Strike subsection)

The Air Traffic Controllers, Pilot's Union and Flight Attendant's unions have commented on the status of air safety during this shutdown.

TSA has had to call in supervisors and others to make up their building shortfall.

Article II, Section 3 of the US Constitution isn't gonna happen on 29 January, when the current occupant of the Oval Office (the one who was so proud to shut down the government) wants to advise Congress on the state of the union. He could send in his thoughts in writing, but with the current shutdown, purchase of Crayons is problematic. Hell, he could probably do it on that twit thing.

Maybe it would be a great idea (assuming this shutdown remains in effect) for the 29th of January to be the day for an all-out national GENERAL STRIKE.

Yep. No one goes to work. The planes don't fly, the busses don't run, there ain't no trains and the stores don't open.

 Though it isn't in our national genetic makeup, Maybe it's time.

In her final column, Molly wrote: "We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, Stop it, now!" --Molly Ivins

Yep! This is a war against us. We the People cannot afford to lose it.
