I don't want to get too greedy. If they're radioactive, then someone can just hose them off into my drainage ditch.....

Buff and all other affected federal workers will be happy to know that your employer-in-chief will be sharing your pain by taking his family for a vacation in Williamsburg this weekend. So while you relax and enjoy some free time, he'll be doing the exact same thing...

As a Working Capital Funded organization, our warfare center will continue to operate as funds are available, probably through the end of the month.
