First
We need a third party of more than three
I’d like to see no less than four parties. From right to left, they would be the Jesus & Guns party, the Moderate Repubs, the Moderate Dems, and the Code Pink & WWP’ers. I’d also like to see a parliamentary system, where if a party doesn’t get an outright majority, they have to build a coalition with one or more of the other parties until they pass the 50% mark. I would also like a billion dollars and a unicorn.
The billion dollars and the unicorn I can handle. I’ll FedEx them in time for Christmas. ; )
But the rest of that, hey, I’m not a miracle worker!
Actually, one or the other would probably do. If I had a billion dollars, I could pay to have a unicorn genetically engineered. If I had a unicorn, I could make a billion dollars selling DNA specimens from it.
I will just be content with the billion dollars. Then I would go around peeing down people’s leg and getting mad when they don’t thank me for it.
Someone asked a little kid “would you rather have a million friends or a million dollars?” He answered: “I’d rather have a million friends. Then I’d never be lonely, and if I get into trouble, I figure each of them could pitch in a dollar.”

…out of the mouths of babes…
Who was it that said “Youth is wasted on the young?”
It’s from “It’s a Wonderful Life”.
And the line is actually “Youth is wasted on the wrong people.” since “Youth is wasted on the young.” is redundant.
pretty sure it’s older than that…
Aha!! I found it…George Bernard Shaw: “Youth is wasted on the young”
Aww…that’s so sweet! I love kids. I swear, I’ve met some at work that I’ve wanted to take home with me. <3
But then you wouldn’t have the other. Oh, that’s right, you’re not Obama.
Oh, we have plenty of parties in our parliament. R to L;
Racist Nazis, The-we’re-not-Thatcher-honest! Party, The middleoftheroad people, G. W. Bush’s lapdog party, The Hippies (Greens), The Party for complaining and bickering. Oh, and Tommy Sheridan…
My wang? You rang?
Nazis? oh dang…
….
What rhymes with “dang”? (Apart from “clang”)
Clang clang would be the sound of me going Bang Bang on metal with my wang wang.
Just a jump to the left…..
…and then a step to the ri-i-i-e-i-ight!
Put your hands on your hips…
. . . then bring your knees in ti-i-ight.
*pelvic thrusts*
I forgot to mention the only sane ones in the bunch: The Monster Raving Loony Party and their campaign for luminous dog poo…
Also, The Party for complaining and bickering is also known as The it’s-our-oil party for historic grudges. Most folk call them Nationalists. Still, I’d vote for them…
And the lizard people.
I am not making this up.
Scroll down to ballot #5 on my link (NPR)
Lizard people might be popular in your area, but I’m yet to hear of them even making it onto the ballot in the UK (and I don’t think the UK has write-ins).
Meeh, I’m not so fond of coalition forming in my country (Holland). Main problem is, that in the end you as a voter still don’t have any real power on who will be in the government. Voters have 0 controll over the coalition forming, and in the past years I’ve seen big election winners being excluded from the government and important election promisses broken.
O wow, I just reread my post…just horrible, grammar wise. Excuse et moi.
Actually, that would be “Excusez moi” ; )
That said, your original post is a lot better than I’ve seen a lot of native speakers write. Good job!
Pretty sure there are only 2 independents in congress…Bernie and Lieberman…unless im mistaken
Hey, it looks like the Independents could Caucus in a telephone booth and still have plenty of room left over.
/feels old for using a phone booth reference.
//only 30.
///get off my lawn!!
That’s OK, I’m sitting here at work and have a Police CD on, and one of my young staffers came in and was surprised to learn that Sting used to be with a band… I’m only 39 and that made me feel about 80…
title of this shameful picture: Democracy Inaction.
Sting is with the Police again now. It’s not that you’re old, it’s that you’re up to date now and he’s behind the times, lol. I saw them in concert just recently, and wow. Just fantastic. You can tell they don’t really like each other, lol, but they’re all fantastic musicians.
I think I heard they’re done again, so look forward to more of his “Music to experience an hours long orgasm to”.
That just seems really tiring : )
correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that was a one time reunion tour.
but I figure a lot of bands are getting back together…which can be good or bad. For instance, they are getting together to probably make some more good music. On the other hand guns n’ rose just needs money…
Where do you play Magic, Rafiq?
Congrat-shoelaces kaepora.
They should seat them next to each other. They look lonely.
I think that’s the European Parliament.
lol!
This is a cool picture. They’re all 2 seats apart on every other row.
Taking the final exam maybe?
I thought this was a scene from Star Wars: the Phantom Menace, but there was no sucking sound, so I am wrong.
Besides, the Senate in TPM had ET’s.
Well, yeah, that was the giveaway! I was looking for wookies and gungans and just saw oldish white guys. Of the human bureaucratic variety.
No, I mean the Senate actually had little E.T.-like creatures. That was always my favorite part of the movie. ; )
-
But yeah, the Senate could do with a few wookies here and there.
Barney Clark used to have that “Wookie-like” hairpiece…does that count?
you bent my wookie
My cat’s breath smells like cat food.
When I grow up I’m going to Bovine University.
What, pray tell, will be your major? Bovine Poetry, perhaps?
Awwww, you broke the pattern. You’re forgiven.
Go banana!
so true about the E.T.s in the senate shot, they are kind of out of focus, but are on the bottom right as soon as the shot starts. I know, I know, but one of my last roommates was a Star Wars fanatic, so I kind of picked some of this stuff up…
Shame is the refuge of the weak, ner vod.
This is a photo of the European parliament, It was a vote of some sort. The image was featured in either the UK Telegraph or Guardian newspaper last week.
Ah, the Grauniad.
They annoy me tho: they don’t print anything about Scottish politics. They have a “Scotland correspondent” who talks about Munro bagging.
The Independent’s better!
Munro bagging? I don’t recall… I thought I’d read all of Tolkien’s books.
