Dan Amira explains:
One of the ripple effects of the White House shutdown is that Michelle Obama’s White House garden is now rotting away as the staff that typically picks its fruits and vegetables is barred from doing so. … To us humans, this is a depressing metaphor for America’s wasted potential. To the White House squirrels, however, it’s Valhalla.
Eddie Gehman Kohan reports from the scene:
Right now, the many squirrels who live at the White House seem to have gotten even more aggressive with the low level of human intervention. The squirrels are always a problem in the garden, eating the berry crop in the summer months. But they’re now kids in a candy store, gorging themselves.
