The government shut down and all I got was this lousy t-shirt

Welp, our government shut down. It's complicated but I think what went down is basically something like this:

The only thing about the shutdown that actually makes me happy is the tweets. I want to share with you some of the tweets that made me laugh the most since last night:

"Weight watchers points are irrelevant during a government shutdown." - @LouisPeitzman

"I'm kind of embarrassed the government thought to shut down the government before the rest of us did." - @joshgondelman

"I'm just sticking flags in random pieces of land and claiming 'em. It rules." - @Mikescollins

"The big 'Years Without a Government Shutdown' sign on the Hoover Dam flips from '17' to '0.' The lights flicker once and then go out." - @KenJennings

"No budget for old men." - @samir

"So, we have to reset the government every 108 minutes now?" - @thejakeshenry

"Well, time to loot the Smithsonian. I choose to walk towards an uncertain future wearing Lincoln's hat and Fonzie's jacket." - @badbanana

"Okay, so a government shutdown DOESN'T mean I can release thousands of hamsters into Times Square. Live and learn. Also I need bail money." - @brendohare

"It's like, govern much?" - @Psquatch
