The definition of ``farce'' is: a foolish show, mockery, a ridiculous sham. Now, this Head Start funding bill and cry for providing a head start for our low-income children is indeed a false start at this 22 percent sequestration level. The politicians' mantra that education is the key does not pass the laugh test where our babies are locked out and out of luck--no LIHEAP, immunizations, disability education assistance. This is a key to what--a key to a government careening toward default? It is a government that has defaulted on the future of our children. Let's shut down the shutdown.
