Monkey Business

Monday-
I watched a 43 minute debate on monkeys... Yes....Monkeys....The House of Representatives had a 43 minute debate on monkeys. They even have about bill them...

Today-
I wrote a letter to some constituents about monkeys...there is another bill about monkeys...

I'll be honest I really didn't think monkeys would be a main concern of one of the most powerful legislatures in the world but I was very wrong...

I think it is going to my head- I brought a banana to work this morning...

On the topic of debates (this is unmonkey related you will be glad to know)- on Monday I also watched several debates which were quite lengthy which resulted in votes. After each vote someone always objected as there wasn't a quorum present. You would think that if there weren't enough people in the House in the first place they wouldn't start debating another topic but, lo' and behold...they did, and voted, and tussled a bit over the fact that the vote shouldn't count due to the fact there were not enough members to make a quorum...then they would do it all over again on the next bill...

Also I saw a vote on the whether to pass 'the amendment about the amendment'... go figure...
