Behold the petty tyranny inherent in the Progressive system: President Obama’s administration is cutting off sick children and adult patients from their therapy dogs.

(CNSNews.com) – The Clinical Center at the National Institutes of Health has suspended its dog therapy program because of the government shutdown, according to John Burklow, spokesperson for NIH.

Meanwhile, across town they’re purchasing mechanical bulls!

(CNSNews.com) – The government shutdown may be keeping furloughed federal workers at home, but on Monday the U.S. Army contracted to buy a mechanical bull. The $47,174 contract was awarded on Oct. 7 to Mechanical Bull Sales Inc. of State College, Penn.
