Just went through the vacant home insurance thing, I can see calling the insurance guy back to get commercial property now!

I think by Wednesday next it will be over in crazy town.

If it's anything like here? You'll need a business license to rent it out.

Not here so far. Just claim it as income and pay at least double property taxes and insurance.

I wish that I shared your optimism, Barney. The Tealiban baggers are loving the shut down and I think that they're going to take the clown car right off the cliff by defaulting on the good faith and credit of the United States.

I bet those @ssholes will hold out until the 17th when the debt limit is reached. It's all about the drama.

At $200,000,000 per day that's a freight car of C notes. So much for them being the party of fiscal responsibilty. It boggles the mind, Pat.

What mentality? I swear that if you shone a light in one ear it would come out the other side undiminished.

The same one that led us to "Stay the course!" after discovering there were no WMDs. The same mentality that thinks admitting a mistake or a past wrongdoing is a "....sign of weakness." or that "Might Makes Right!", "America, love it or leave it!". Or any other from the long list of pigheaded foolishness some love to spout.
