#10 #9 Rushmore roadside view coned off.

Someone with the chops and the time (not me, sadly) could have a lot of fun with this:

Rushmore in distance / PP putting out cones at overlook / MR goes ka-Bamiyan / Usual dust and shouting (sub O for Al) / Clouds clear, revealing single-headed Rushmore crowned by rays of morning sun overlaying O logo (creepy praise song in background, or NA if you wanna go there)

#11 Mt. Rushmore has a different set of problems now:
"The cones first went up Oct. 1, said Dusty Johnson, Gov. Dennis Daugaard’s chief of staff. The state asked that they be taken down, and federal officials did so with some of them. The state was told the cones were a safety precaution to help channel cars into viewing areas rather than to bar their entrance.

“I think reasonable people can disagree about that,” Johnson said.

The cones were down again Friday as a blizzard hit the Black Hills and plows needed access to the roads, Johnson said. He said the state would be monitoring to see whether the cones are put back along viewing areas."

The Black Hills area is still paralyzed by the recent winter storm, so the issue is rather academic.

#12 They would have just jumped the fences to get inside anyway.

#13 So why is it the governors of these states are not out front opening the fences? Because they know the nazi trooper from the Obama camp will attack from all directions. He has this country afraid to stand up.

#15 Folks who live in the Great Smoky Mountains have just about reached their breaking point with the federal government.
“It’s almost like they are pushing to see how far they can push before the American people say enough is enough,” said Ed Mitchell, the mayor of Blount County, Tenn. “We were founded on a declaration of independence. And they are about to push the people to the line again.”
Nearly a third of Blount County is inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. So when the federal government shut down the park, it also shut down one of the area’s chief sources of revenue.
The National Park Service also closed the Foothills Parkway, a major thoroughfare in the county. The closure came without warning and left the local school district scrambling to get children back to their homes.
