"The House" is America-speak for the House of Representatives, the lower of the two houses that make up Congress (the other being the Senate). The Speaker comes from the party that has a majority of the seats, now being the Democrats after yesterday's elections. So, the Democrats select a senior legislator with the biggest mouth and make him/her the Speaker. Then a crazed Albanian shoots the President and Vice President until they both are dead. The Speaker becomes President until a crazed Buffalo City Police Officer shoots the Speaker and then Alexander Haige is in charge.

The Speaker of the House is basically the leader of the House of Representatives, and despite the word "speaker," he/she does not normally preside over debates. Basically the speaker is just an allocator of functions and personel.

So I just came back from Lebanon where I spent two nights looking for Rab. As it turns out, exactly 65% of all Lebanese men residing in Lebanon are named "Rab" or some form of "Rab". Finally, after 46 hours of non-stop searching, I thought I caught a break. This 105 year old man said, " Rab . . . Rab . . . Oh, Rabz. Yes! azzurri numero seven with the fap in the shoe"

I said, "Yes! Yes! That's who I'm looking for! Where can I find this man?"

"Rabz hair long . . . and . . . , . . . so is penis" and then, after 105 years, this gentleman decided that particular moment would be a good time to die.


So, no, I still have not found Rab. Can we just assume the Israeli Army killed him and move on?

So... there's a suggestion box and all the people in the house submit suggestions about what they want to talk about and then the speaker decides?
No suggestion box.

The Speaker decides the issues of the day:

1. White boys in West Virginia who want to be Black.
2. Liverpudlian street urchins who need an ass packing.
3. Norwegian Polish robotic dancers suing Peter Crouch for Trademark Infringement
4. The propsed dates for Swag-Vinman Love Fest II.

Sure, right after Yukon Cornelius.
In fact, one of the functions of the Speaker of the House is to lick a pickaxe and say, "Nothin'!" at official state functions.

C'mon, Vinman! I'm all oiled up and ready for you, big boy. :eyebrows:

Oops. Sorry, those "San Francisco values" again. I hear they don't translate to the rest of the country.

What about big D-Rummy getting out?

I love it.....
It's definitely welcome news. But I still think they should have Paul Wolfowitz executed by a firing squad. Or perhaps have him dressed in nothing but leather chaps and a wig and chained to the restroom at The Stud bar on 9th Street.

"San Francisco values" doesn't mean I'm necessarily against the death penalty, you know. :pumpkin:
