And that is?? Everyone welcome, just take your shoes off at the door, be nice and have a good time? Now that is something I can agree on, seems to be the way things are going at our house. This is the one time of the year that no one is on a diet (strange for my relatives; someone is always seeing themselves as a "chubby.") Mead flows, stories are told and out come the dreidel (in case you want to play and have not already (which would be a surprise) learned how: http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Dreidel. ) How are things with you? Christmas shopping all done? :thumbup: :D :D

I have no idea how choosing the Speaker of the House from non members of the house would improve anything.
Because, hopefully, it would be a citizen less interested in political posturing then those who have been and are Speaker. You need to, so to speak, solve for X.

Unkindly, but due to allergic issues, your floor must have been completely vacuumed and inspected for me to be shoeless. I am, literally, deathly allergic to tetanus and do not go barefooted. I will wear slippers with some medium sole. I can bring new and clean to not create dirt.
It was 60% completed by June and wrapped. I completed another 25% by September. Again, all wrapped. The only thing left are the little persons, my spouse and progeny. It drives everyone absolutely crazy when they speak of the hurly burly, and I have a blank look as to the issue.

Ours' is a dream-case scenario. It's okay to dream, isn't it?

Why is it a dream? Why can citizens not inform their Representatives, through mass phone calls, letters, etc., they choose not to have a House of Representatives member be Speaker? It may not happen quickly but why not this change as well. Perhaps this would be the first possibility for an Independent.

Madam Speaker... would it be possible you could rally support for a short hunting season for lobbyists... There seems to be more of them than deer this year.

For you an exception. My feet get cold easy, so I wear slippers. Most of the men keep their socks on and women, well socks, bare feet, or slippers. Mary's home is very old with original floors that are spotless to the eye, but I understand people who have bad allergies and we make provisions.
I shop all year for the gifts. I like to watch people, see what catches their eye and then present that item to them for Christmas, Chanukah, or birthday. But, during the season of shopping I will go to every store just to be in the spirit. People are so much nicer during this time of the year. People like you that are so organized really impress the stuffing out of me. I am not that organized. I still have a ton of things to wrap....and many of those things are still in the POD. So, off to the store to buy other things because my I refuse to get into that while I have no place to put it away. Oh the stress of it all :D :D :D :D

Your premise doesn't make sense. You need to solve for reality. If we weren't able to choose honorable, competent people before, how would we do better next time? Our chosen leaders are no more corrupt and incompetent than we are.

Are we providing them with a hunting season, "short hunting season for lobbyists, or are others having a short season hunting them. :?: Grammar geek here. I am in favor of hunting season.

As you have a failure to understand, I will use small words and short sentences and a civics lesson to help.
The Speaker of the House is customarily (sorry for the big word) elected by the Majority Party of the House Membership.
The Constitution DOES NOT require the Speaker of the House be an elected Representative.
The beginning of this commentary was replacing the position not with a currently elected a Representative but with an independent citizen who was not a member of the House.
A portion of the conversation was frivolity; however, the thought is not without merit.
Your judgement of the citizenry is :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: We can only vote on what we are currently presented with.

Hunting them in shorts. The cold temperatures cause them to run faster thus increasing their sporting chance.

It would appear everyone will be "short", whether hunted or hunting.
