If you could pick one word . . .

What does this picture represent?

Yes it is a tag cloud of sorts. It is the compilation of the answers to a survey question.

So, was the survey to:

A) How would you describe the ongoing budget negotiations and threat of a Government Shutdown?

or

B) How would you describe the ongoing NFL labor dispute and threat of a 2011 Lockout?

I find the two remarkably similar and disgusting. The only difference is that politicians eventually cave to the fear of losing their job(s) in the next election.

NFL owners have no such fear. Or accountability.

BTW, the tag cloud was the answer to the federal budget and impending government shutdown.

But I think it is equally applicable to both.

Hopefully both will get worked out in the near future.

So, Which do you think will get resolved first?

Federal Budget and Debt negotiations?

or

NFL labor negotiations?
