I wish I could drum up sincere interest in the to shut or not shutdown debacle, much too jaded today. In part I would like to see every politician in Washington leave, for good. The GOP is rabid and the Democrats are tragic. Its an intractable situation with a plate of ugly compromises that will no doubt adversely affect those in the most dire circumstances. Not really a budget, it is a jettisoning which includes women's health care and the environment.

Top budget negotiators reach deal in principle, but snags remain
The biggest stumbling block to a final agreement, insiders said, were disagreements over social policy changes that Republicans want included in the legislation. The biggest controversies involve whether to bar federal funding for environmental programs championed by Democrats, as well as for Planned Parenthood, which counsels women on health and pregnancy issues.
