Govt slimdown

silly story today on the 4:00 a.m. news about how govt analysts involved in investigating terror threats are on furlough as a result of the slimdown and how some intelligence will be missed and ultimately we will be attacked.........no mention why these folks were not deemed essential and thus exempt from the slim down or whom ultimately decides essential from non-essential......we all know the military is not impacted by the slimdown.....maybe these analysts are just taking up space.

interesting tidbit about the military academies getting a waiver so they could play the football games this weekend.....whereas Air Force and Army both utilize Federal assistance to fund their Athletics Programs, the Naval Academy Athletic Dept does not....all Navy Athletic teams are self sufficient......basically the sale of tickets, TV rights, and apparel finances the whole lot..........business as usual for the Squids....Excellene never graduates !
