I want to go to Britain
Just so I can be represented by the British parliament. I meant to blog about this earlier, so I hope I can still capture the verve and excitement.
The night before last I was watching 'Questions to the Prime Minister' on C-span. First of all, the entire British parliament was assembled. This is nice, because in our Congress, I often find one person speaking into a microphone to an empty room.
Second, they speak to each other in the third person. Ok, scratch that, second they actually SPEAK TO EACH OTHER. Let me recount:
So this member of parliament will get up and say:
'Could the esteemed prime minister explain how is it that he promised to us that we would see the effects of such and such bill and we have yet to see any such thing?'
Then the prime minister stands up immediately and states:
'The honorable representative from such and such has once again failed to notice that things are moving in a timely matter as evidenced by such and such.'
Seriously, they made fun of each other. They booed. They cheered. They had quick back and forth arguments. They sounded intelligent.
It was AMAZING. I seriously felt I was watching something fictional.
If you get a chance....
:)

verve! good word! :)

oh, and maybe c-span will replace gilmore girls??
-ahila
what c-span would never replace gilmore girls? how is MIAMI? have you met Will Smith yet?
clearly the honorable doctor's life is more exciting than this anonymous person's and it seems like everyone else's as well. b/c we all check your blog quite religiously it seems and for me at least it's a huge let down when it's just the same old post from 2 days ago.
c-span
what number channel is that even?
or is it just a secret number - meant only for special people.
if you become part of the british parliament hook me up with some hp7 book action
