Should I be insulted by the use of the phrase "Government Shutdown"?

Every once in a while, I feel that my intelligence is being seriously insulted by grubby politicians, condescending bureaucrats, and media sycophants.

The government is not going to “shut down”.

Trust me, the Reps and Senators, the bureaucrats, the President and every other busy body in Washington that imagines that they can improve your life if only you give them your money, are NOT going to take unpaid leave of absence, lock up the capital and go home.

They will still be there, collecting their salaries and perks and priviledges. The government will continue to do it’s best to make us all equally miserable.

We are directed to imagine all sorts of terrible things will happen except the one that matters. That we will be reminded of their incompetence.

But instead of calling it a “Government Moron Goat Fuck” they call it a “Government Shutdown” which makes it sound sort of like a power outage during a thunderstorm. Which I think is supposed to seduce the likes of you and me into thinking that this is not a bunch of lunatics wasting our money.

Am I being overly sensitive, or should this insult my intelligence?
