  • I agree. Further to that I believe protocol is that when speaking, one must address their comments to the speaker as opposed to any member in the chamber. It is mostly decorum and intended to keep a lid on tempers and direct personal exchanges that can flare up into a hubbub. Speaker is intended to be the impartial head master of the school he oversees and keep the house in order and apply the rules fairly. As you well will have seen - there are varying degrees of success in that pursuit.



  • Mr Lisa Goes to Washington : the city of Washington was built on a stagnant swamp some 200 years ago, and very little has changed. It stank then and it stinks now, only today it is the fetid stench of corruption that hangs in the air.

    Lisa wins a Reader’s Digest essay contest and the family goes to the finals of the contest in DC. She sees a congressman make a deal to shaft the environment and has a change of heart about the focus of her speech.

    Special mention: Speech called “USA, A-OK” and Homer telling the Reader’s Digest rep that he really loves their magazine, esp the section about “How to improve your vocabulary. That thing is really, really, really… good.”
