Community Post: 8 Most Passive-Aggressive Government Shutdown Alerts

Today, Americans awoke to the dystopian hellscape created by a government shutdown. Did we say shutdown? Okay, it's more of a temporary rollback of non-essential services. Nonetheless, the government wants to assure you that anarchy is sweeping the land.

1. The White House Goes Dark

Always eager to avoid blame, President Obama passes the buck with some serious passive aggressiveness.

Someone forgot to mention that he wouldn't talk to Congress to avoid the shutdown.

2. Crops spoil in the fields

The USDA is down? Zut alors! But who will tell us about legally mandated gherkin specifications?

3. We have no standards

"Conferences and other events scheduled during the shutdown are postponed or canceled." Great, and I already bought my tickets to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/TC 172/SC 1 Optics and Photonics/Fundamental Standards !

4. FLOTUS is silenced

The First Lady gets paid to tweet? Now who will tell us when to drink water?!

5. Health is outlawed

At least it's only Health Data and nothing important. Oh wait, didn't Obamacare start up today?

6. Weather or not?

Weather has been cancelled until further notice.

7. Every highway an autobahn

New game: Provoke National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bureaucrats to respond to you on Twitter! Does this mean speed limits won't be enforced for the next few days?

8. No government selfies?

Argh — even the White House's Instagram is out! How will I know if an intern had an especially elegant pumpkin spice cappuccino (the 1977 filter really brings out the orange).

At least one government worker isn't silent today.

Superbowl anti-gun ad, hope it backfires on them

PAT DOLLARD YOUNG AMERICANS 11 Hours Ago Bloomberg to Air Gun Control Ad During Superbowl Feb 2, 2013Toro520 Via The Associated Press: NEW YORK (Associated Press) – A gun control group founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is airing a Super Bowl advertisement calling for background checks. The 30-second spot by Mayors Against Illegal Guns will air in the Washington area during the game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. The ad calls on lawmakers to pass rules requiring background checks on guns. It is narrated by children, with “America the Beautiful” playing in the background. It includes decades-old footage of National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre saying the gun lobby group approves of the checks. LaPierre recently testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the NRA no longer supports background checks for all gun sales. A Bloomsberg spokesman would say only that the ad cost in the six-figure range....
