Shutdown or Shakedown?

So far today, my household has received reports from the President on his position on the shutdown, updates from Republican as well as Democrat congressmen and senators on the same subject and a whole host of requests for contributions.  The shutdown is now a fund raising opportunity extraordinaire.

It never fails to amaze me that no matter what happens in Washington, there's always some politician who tries to use the event to get contributions.  Sure, the shutdown is important, but why should America give money to people who request it because they can't decide how to spend the public's money?

Still, I'm waiting for the request from Chuck Schumer which starts out "With the recent difficult in collecting the trash in the snow, we need your contribution..."
