This entire government shutdown business may well have been a plot by the most powerful squirrels in the world writes Eddie Gehman Kohan:

• As a result of the government shutdown the Whitehouse gardens are no longer being maintained and produce is literally rotting on the vine.
• The squirrels have taken advantage of this to have a feast.
• They’ve also invited birds and worms to the party.
• There’s a fox running around that nobody is allowed to catch anymore.
• If things continue as they have it’s possible that the squirrels will feast on the Presidential pumpkins that will no longer be harvested.
