SEATTLE - The government shutdown could also have a big impact on the crabbing industry.
The Alaska king crab season is set to start soon, but all the fishing boats will have to stay docked because the government must sign off on permits and quotas.
Fisherman stand to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars unless lawmakers make a compromise.
The Alaskan crab season only lasts about a month, so every day docked is money being thrown away.
In all seriousness, I think we should contract with some superior military force like the Russians or the Chinese to provide a rapid response force to protect the American citizenry from United States animals.
There will be an 800 number that decent people can call when some idiot, government employee welfare recipient waddles his fat ass over to demand that his masters stop trying to earn a living.
And then the fisherman can roll his eyes and chuckle to his buddies about how "this fuckin' animal doesn't know that the world's changed" and how only a pure piece of low-character trash even recognizes a United States law. "You'd think these fuckin' pieces of human waste could catch the bad men after a dozen years. I guess not. So they're going to pout and harass people who have to work for a living."
So then the fisherman pulls out his cell phone and calls the rapid response team and a short time later Russian Spetznaz forces show up and blessedly spare our hardworking fisherman the inconvenience of having to look at this piece of trash of a parasite while decent people try to work.
And then the Spetznaz rapid response team take our fat-assed idiot behind some building and beat the ever-lovin' piss out of him until he's finally psychologically broken and no longer considers himself to be anyone's "leader" or to be "in charge" of anything or even to possess the temerity to look his citizen masters in the eye.
And when that lowest stratum of American society finally understand their proper place in this world, America will finally be righted, its rudder finally recalibrated.
Get back. in your holes. you total pieces of deadwood human waste. Some of us can't be completely useless. Some of us actually have to earn a living.

[This, by the way, is precisely how Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys operated. Before Vermont was an independent republic, it was territory claimed both by New York and New Hampshire.
Peaceful Vermonters would be minding their own business, tilling the land, when some nobody would march onto the property with a land grant warrant in hand, issued by New York or New Hampshire, claiming to own the property now.
So Ethan Allen and his boys would show up, take our claimant away, tie him to a tree, and beat him senseless. If he came back a second time, they simply killed him.
Problem solved.
Vermont won its independence in record time and I can see why.
Ethan Allen was Vermont Strong.]
