“A picture is worth a thousand words” and “you can't make this stuff up.” But nothing I can think of illustrates the root causes and relative potential impacts of government shutdown as well as following Mike Luckovich cartoon which just happened to appear in today's Washington Post.

Would make one hell of a propaganda leaflet to be dropped over all major concentrations of Federal employees in the country as well as all pockets of poverty. Boehner might have problems getting elected dogcatcher, let alone getting continued as Speaker.
