Sorry to muck up your f-list page with political talk, but...
So, I'm watching the bipartisan debate/meeting thing live on YouTube at the moment, and they've just said that they have to take a break because there's a vote going on in the House and, obviously, the Representatives need to get back to take part in it. So everybody stands up and starts shuffling towards the door, and someone vaguely in charge says, "Oh, they're waiting for us to take the vote, but we have to get there, vote, and come right back here. The bus is waiting downstairs."
The bus. That last line is a direct quote: the bus is waiting downstairs.
Now, I'm sure they're probably all really taking limos or private cars or some crap, but I really, really wish that all the Democrats and Republican Representatives and Senators actually had to pile onto a bus (I'm picturing a crappy school bus, personally) and ride to it together. I picture some of them kicking the backs of the others' seats, a shortage of space making at least two opposing Reps have to sit next to each other, and a window that is jammed down, making them all freeze their asses off. Maybe one or two moody, antisocial Reps would just put their earbuds in and listen to their iPod for the trip. XD There are no words for how much I'm nerdily giggling at the moment.
Damn, I wish I was in charge of the government.
