The Federal Government Ladies and Gents.

I make fun of the D.C. area for delaying or closing public school openings when there's even the threat of snow.  In general, I whole-heartedly agree with the Prez that the peeps here need to toughen up a bit.  People 'round these parts always assume that I'm somehow "used" to the cold, being from up north.  Please, no one up north likes the cold.  But what I am used to is snow, and a dusting is not snow.
 
However, today is real -- with like 5 inches on the ground in an area without the budget to deal with proper salting and plowing.  Yes, today, the worries are legit.  I mean, Alabama is getting snow.  HOWEVER, among the thousands of school and church closings running on the local news this morning (why not just say what is open?), there was a notice that the federal government is on a two hour delay:
 
Federal Government in Washington Area- Federal Agencies will operate with a 2 hour delay as well as unscheduled leave. (Monday)
 
Hey, Bam-Bam.  Follow Kris Allen's lead and look at the Man in the Mirror.
