The Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives has decided to force a shutdown of the government of the United States of America. It's hard to imagine a greater political blunder.
It's hard to imagine a less media-savvy strategy than shutting the government down now, tonight. What Ted Cruz, Ken Cuccinelli, and their buddies in the U.S. House of Representatives have failed to factor into their calculations is that Saturday Night Live premieres its 39th season tonight. But wait, it gets worse. Tonight's host of Saturday Night Live is Tina Fey, one of the most brilliant political satirists this nation has ever produce. But wait, it gets worser. Saturday Night Live lost a large number of veteran cast members at the end of last season--the show has added six new cast members--and fans like myself are very curious about the new cast.
