Some Clarification is Required
When people say "the federal government will run out of money at midnight", that's actually a misnomer. As long as there is paper, ink and a working printing press, the government of the United States never runs out of money. It can just print more.
What will end at midnight is yet another in the series of continuing resolutions to keep spending money that the Congress has been passing again and again since they first failed to deliver a proper budget back in 2009. What will end at midnight is the authority to spend any money, not the supply of money itself.
Even that's not entirely correct, since there are measures in place to keep spending for "essential" items like the national defense, the FBI, the air traffic controllers and many more. Members of Congress continue to get paid.
So the cupboard of paper money isn't bare. The legal ability to spend it will be the only thing that expires. Unless the shutdown is prolonged, at which point our economy will also probably expire. The Gross Domestic Product of the United States is more than $16.5 trillion, annually. One estimate says that a four week federal government shutdown could reduce that by 1.4%. Maybe it will be less. Maybe we shouldn't find out.
The other issue is that in mid-October, our government will also hit the legal ceiling on its ability to borrow money. Negotiations on raising the debt ceiling are just as stalled as are those to stop the government shutdown.
I will work to defeat every current member of the Congress who votes against any last ditch effort to stop the government shutdown, that does not contain defunding of Obamacare. Every single one.

Does life imitate art, or vice versa? When it comes to marital fidelity I'm beginning to think it is like the question about whether it was the chicken or egg that came first.

The End of the Affair
Same Time, Next Year
Fatal Attraction
Body Heat
All movies notable for their portrayal of infidelity. The current season of Grey's Anatomy includes a story arc about a couple where one of them had a one-night stand with a third party. It is everywhere in the media.
It is also everywhere in real life as well. I know far too many people who have either been unfaithful themselves, or were the victim of infidelity. Someone I shall not name once told me that he was so busy screwing other women, he was afraid his youngest daughter wasn't his because as he put it "I can't remember the last time I slept with her mother."
I think that the connection of human beings through the internet hasn't just led to much more emotional infidelity. I think it has somehow made being unfaithful more socially acceptable. A person leaving their spouse for someone else that they'd met online was a growing trend of the late 1980s and early/mid 1990s. Now it happens so often it isn't even noticed anymore. My second wife's boyfriend (they later married) was someone I met online and introduced to her. Silly me, I thought those vows meant something.
To some they do. To others they don't. If two adults reach an "understanding" where they will remain married but are free to mess around on the side, that's their right. I don't agree with it, I think it's a bad idea, but I'm not going to try to tell them what to do. I understand why the military makes adultery a crime, but that doesn't translate to the world outside of the military. If you want to let your spouse sleep around, have at it.

Lots of people think Congress has exempted itself from many of the laws it has passed that the rest of the nation must comply with. Obamacare is an example. Is Congress exempt from Obamacare? Here's the answer, an excerpt from the more than 1,000 pages of that law:
“Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, after the effective date of this subtitle, the only health plans that the Federal Government may make available to Members of Congress and Congressional staff with respect to their service as a Member of Congress or congressional staff shall be health plans that are — (I) created under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act); or (II) offered through an Exchange established under this Act (or an Amendment made by this Act).”
In other words, Congress must comply with Obamacare. Interestingly, the person railing against the Affordable Care Act the most, Senator Ted Cruz, doesn't use the Congressional healthcare plan. His wife Heidi works for Goldman-Sachs and her employer provides the entire family with a plan that is far better than the best platinum plan available under Obamacare. Goldman-Sachs may be spending more than $40,000 in premiums for the Cruz family.
Now let's look at a list of laws the Congress had exempted itself from, prior to 1995:
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.
Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute.
Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.
Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1989
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.
Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988.
Veterans' employment and reemployment rights in Chapter 43 of Title 38 of the United States Code, and amended in 1998 to include portions of the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998.
That is why it isn't surprising that people wrongly assume Congress exempted itself from the Affordable Healthcare Act. That's their pattern. But in 1995, the Congressional Accountability Act was passed. Since then, they know we are watching to see if they will tell us to do something they themselves don't have to do.

Random Ponderings:
Taylor Swift says she's never read one hateful thing said about her by a 12 year old. Of course not, she pays someone to track her presence on social media.
Look for the NBA to scrap the NBA finals 2-3-2 game format in favor of the old 2-2-1-1-1 format that was in use until the mid 1980s. This is a good idea.
When Jimmy Choo, Mahnolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin shoes are being purchased by celebrities for four and five figure price tags, why is some style-watcher taking Kelly Ripa to task for an ugly pair of shoes that were "only" $515?
While I'll root against Ohio State football in every game, I have to pass on a tip of the cap to them for their classy gesture toward a TV journalist who has covered them for more than two decades. Dom Tiberi's 21 year old daughter was killed in a automobile accident. She was a student at OSU. When he returned to covering their games, players stopped to give him a hug after their victory. Nicely done.

Kudos to Peter Tabibian and his four Z-Burger locations in D.C. He's offering free burgers to furloughed government employees.
If Helen Fielding wants to kill off Mark Darcy in the third "Bridget Jones" novel, more power to her.
Maybe it is time for residents of New York City to give in and allow better jails be built closer to courthouses. After all, they're spending almost $170,000 per year, per inmate at Riker's Island. That's more than three times as much is spent by Chicago or Los Angeles.
Maybe the slowdown in service at drive-thru windows will result in fast-food restaurants being relabeled as slow-food restaurants.
