After a drama-filled first season, fans were surprised (or not so surprised) to see Bravo announce the cancellation of the Real Housewives of D.C….

But the focus all week has been the possibility of a government shutdown as Democrats and Republicans struggle to reach a budget deal.
@RobLowe: If there is a government shut down who do I put on a plane to DC: Chris Treager or Sam Seaborn?
