Plenty of Money For Presidential Golf Outings; Not Enough Money for White House Tours; Not Enough Money For Easter Egg Roll; Still Unable to Fully Access NDIC Web Site; Parts Of It Seem To Be Coming Back Up, Albeit Very Slow; Was It A DOS Attack By The Chinese?

Updates

March 19, 2013: I can't make this stuff up. The White House can't afford White House tours any more, but not only can the White House afford presidential golf outings here in the US, it now turns out that the president will be golfing in Ireland in June, 2013.  Ireland is one of the PIIGS, by the way. As you can see by the link the PIIGS even have their own wikipage. Once you have your own wikipage, you are too big to fail. With Cyprus, C-PIIGS?

Original Post

Easter egg roll story here.

With regard to the NDIC web site: today's daily activity report has not yet been posted.

Cannot access Basic Services.

Later:  

I was unaware that there was even a golf story out there, but here it is. I assume the media will start adding up the cost of the golf trips vs the weekly cost of White House tours.

I can't make this stuff up.

While we're waiting for NDIC to be back up and running:
