    Kind of like the National Park rangers driving up in their green jeeps to advise me that the park is closed due to government shutdown. When I asked if they were there off the clock, I was advised to 'move on'.

    Seems like there is always money available for the agents of restriction, never the benevolent.

    Next time this happens, I'd really like to see massive disobedience from the citizenry. Close off my parks and monuments, willya?
