re: #99 calochortus
Apparently it hasn’t been featured on Fox News either, though I gather there has been some mention. (Don’t have cable, myself.)
I believe business owners and the like are starting to get really worried about a government shut-down.
I was reading somewhere on the intertoobz a few days ago that the Chamber of Commerce is starting to pressure on the GOP; they are getting concerned about the possibility of the shutdown, and I think the COC wants the GOP to rein in the wingnuttier elements of their party.
