Our Peevish President


..."The more important point to grasp here is not that the various heavy-handed antics in which the Park Service has seen fit to indulge itself since last Monday are unimaginable absent a shutdown, but that almost none of them had to happen because of the shutdown. The offending behavior has, in other words, been a choice — a deliberate ploy contrived and prosecuted by a man seeking to make a public point."...
More to the point:
....“It takes federal action to close the sites,” this website’s editorial noted, “and none to keep them open. This is not what an inactive government looks like, but a spiteful one.” An anonymous Park Service ranger confirmed that malice ... Staff, the employee said, had “been told to “make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”....
 

 
"Doesn’t get any more spiteful than this."
