Won't somebody think of the...

There are so many people hurt by the shutdown of the US government. People are going without pay, people are forced to work and not being paid for it, vacation times have been canceled (that's right, if you're a federal employee and you have a vacation scheduled, you can't go on it because... you can't go in to work?). Seems like every day I read about some new group of people hurt by it.

Then I read a post by al_zorra about another group that is being impacted by this. A group I bet no one gave a second thought to.

The KKK.

That's right, the KKK.

The KKK's rally at National Parks Service Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial site on Saturday had to be canceled. Oh the tragedy!

Wait, no. Not a tragedy at all.

I'm assuming the low paid, low grade, subcontracted employees who clean the congressional lavatories haven't been let go, as essential for the gop-pee-on-everyone else's-floors comfort?

Seriously. I can't believe the people causing this are still being paid. They shouldn't be getting a penny. Everyone else still working should get their full pay.

Good grief. I'm surprised they're even allowed to hold a rally.

I know... yet they do it all the time.
