Possible Government Shut-down may affect your weekend..

Speaking of signs... I did litter pickup today at one of the just-opened sites and snagged from the ground one of the other signs you might have seen in person or on the news: "Advisory: These facilities are closed until further notice..." Looks like cheap ink-jet printing (the ink is running in spots, so not laser) on regular copier paper. Piece of scotch tape at the top to hold it in place. Comes out of a different budget line-item, I guess.

Saw the same thing at Double Trouble yesterday. I guess the Speaker bashing multi colored posters were placed where the press photographers were more likely to be, like the entrance to IBSP. Of course the explanation will be that they were informational, for those that didn't hear it on the TV and radio, didn't see the huge, lit up, traffic signs on their way south on 35,, didn't notice the wall of traffic cones and the SPP SUV sitting sideways across the entrance with the flashing lights.
 
The real reason they closed Island Beach.

“That fact is, who cares?” Christie told reporters. “You guys care much more about that stuff than I do. I’ve said to you over and over and over again: Poll numbers matter when you’re running for something. When you’re not running for something, they don’t matter a bit, and I don’t care.”

“The 15 percent approval rating has gotten to him, to the point that he’s giving a giant middle finger to the people of New Jersey by sitting on that beach,” Bob Ingle, a Christie biographer, said in reference to recent polling. “He is so stubborn, so thin-skinned and blames everyone but himself for what has happened.”

The last line sounds like it could apply to his mentor, the one that wouldn't give him a job. ;)
