After the midnight deadline passed without agreement, Massachusetts Democrat Jim McGovern addressed the House saying the shutdown was "cynical and disgraceful"!

Don't feel bad. hug Ever since they have shut down the Chat room it has been a bit touch and go. I am sure with two incredibly highly debated issues (Politics and Religion) there will be lots of participants.
