Shut it down

I used to be a fan of the Fox TV show "Hell's Kitchen," where London based chef Gordon Ramsay would put aspiring chefs through their paces during a series of challenges. Each week would culminate in the chefs opening up the "Hell's Kitchen Restaurant" to diners for a dinner service. Usually in the earlier weeks, each dinner service would end with an irate Ramsay instructing the staff to "shut it down," i.e., close the restaurant because everyone sucks.

It seems today Boehner is channeling his inner Gordon Ramsay, as we're closer to a government shutdown.
