As the Government shutdown has reached its third day, social media is awash with public opinions and jokes that all trend towards one thing: This is stupid.

Of course, as Congress still has yet to find some form of common ground to work on, this only give comedians and political commentators more fuel to for a seemingly endless supply of satire and ridicule.

“More galling than the House Republicans’ misplaced, ill-prioritized outrage is their insistence that the party that has run for the last forty years or so on the idea that government is the enemy is saddened to see the government crippled like this,” reports Jon Stewart on the Daily Show.

He quoted Texas Republican representative Randy Weber stating, “For them to come now and say that this is a Republican shutdown is unbelievable” as well as North Carolina Republican representative saying, “It’s only the Democrats who talk about wanting to shut down the government” and retorted that they’ve planned this ever since 80 of the house Republicans signed a letter that would do everything necessary to “de-fund the implementation and enforcement of Obamacare in any…continuing appropriations bill.” 

Even in the twitter blogsphere, there’s a new hashtag trend titled #shutdownpickuplines that use the government shut down as a theme for satirical “pick up lines” that exhibits one’s political wit and attentiveness. Needless to say, we can only expect more and more comedic content and frustration as the shutdown continues.
