ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Noted government shutdown experts Adam and Jeff offer their opinions as to who won the most recent government shutdown. Jeff points out that most shutdowns accomplish very little because they are typically instigated by the party out of power who then must bear the wrath of the public when they are unable to secure any concessions in short order. Jeff points out that the Democrats, who won several elections a couple of weeks earlier, decided that there was nothing more to gain and had several senators not up for re-election next year vote to end the shutdown. Adam bemoans the fact that the Congress cannot do a budget anymore and believes that the Omaha Bugle should produce a TV show called "Real Housewives of Washington D.C." which would feature both the backbiting and catfights of similar reality shows but also show the housewives working together to balance their family budgets in order to maintain their lavish lifestyles. Finally, Adam and Jeff consider the possibility of locking the board of directors of the Omaha Bugle into a board room and creating their own shutdown in order to increase their take home pay.
