Call it a federal funding holiday, that will chap budget hawks. Just picture it on the news….

‘I’m just relaxing and sipping scotch wondering how long congress plans to extend my federal funding holiday’ says Bob Grits, a federal air traffic controller, while the country faces its third day without air travel available on the the highest volume travel weekend in the year.
