What should senators do to make watching C-span more interesting

I think that they should have the senators dance when ever the clasical music comes on. to make this even more interesting. The Majority leader would have to tango with the Minority leader.

or have them create the music them selves. have all the senators play the kazoo.

anyone else?

navy or black suits. Throw in an occasional Hawaiian shirt or clown suit or something.

regardless of whether he's present or not.

even better end all every argument with Fuck you "Dick Cheney"

My money's on Rick Santorum.

Senators required to bust some rhymes during debate.

Social Security reform: IT'S ON!

Except for Teddy, of course.

remember Cheney is the presedent of the Senate. (shudders uncontrolably)

When I worked in DC I went to a congressional hearing once, and afterwards I ended up on the elevator with the rep from Guam, and he was wearing shorts and sandals with his sportcoat and tie. It wasn't noticeable on camera or in the room because he was sitting behind the desks.

they should decide the order they speak in by a game of musical chairs.

when they disaggree with the person that is talking. they shold fling ruberbands at them. If you hit them in the face. they lose a minet of speaking time.

or wwf style rants with threats and posturing.

Perhaps even buck the more mainstream WWE style for the much more enjoyable ECW style.

I had a sneeking suspition that most people would rather watch Kerry and Bush compete in 3 boxing matches instead of 3 debates. I think you proved my theory

Only after Prime Time of course.

The Senate? They aren't exactly known for their collective hotness.

..."Say it loud!" In response, the Senate must respond by shouting, "I'm Black and proud!"

red for repukes blue for Dem's and Jeffords would be either white, yellow, green or purple. and they get time taken off their speaking time depending on where they get hit.

1) done with a thick southern accent,
2) written in iambic pentameter, or
3) sung to the tune of "Yellow Rose of Texas" or "Dancing Queen".

and live, on-air beatings

Just imagine all 100 of them solemnly reciting;
"I would not could not in a box
I would not could not with a fox
I would not could not in a house
I would not could not with a mouse
I would not eat them here or there
I would not eat them anywhere
I do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like them sam I am"

the state of the union address would be the worst!!!

Oh, My! :o

The Senator from Pennsylvania would like to address....GONG!

2 Men enter, one man leaves.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

a kid from my dorm used to dress as a pirate on thursday or friday nights. no reason he just felt like it.

That would be cool

lots and lots of shout outs

Represent!

:)

I know I can't, so they definatly can't

I can't even say "I'm down with the chillin" with out people laughing

Yeah, me too. That's what makes it so hilarious!

Word! (insert silly gangsta hand gesture here)

:)

the duck will be optional.

but you only know the word if you're seated. you can't see it from the podium.

:)

wires.

money to their campaigns.

I prefer this version of disclusre to
26. Conduct business in the nude.

I'd be up for that, seriously.

elementary school style. a senator won't be recognized to speak unless he's wearing the costume shaped like his home state. the costumes could be decorated with the state birds, state veggie, and such.

imagine all the great senators of our nation, on display like a kindergarden pagent.

:D

:D

ok I need a new mouse or something.

have to yield the floor.

Bicameral dungeon.

Instead of getting up to speak for 5 minutes, they could just flog their fellow senators/representatives for 5 minutes.

"Yes Master Kucinich! I yield!!!!!"

:)


self-edit. Don't want anyone to be offended.

It's like the whole Wide World of Sports rolled into one....maybe the Chinese acrobats guy had hold the candy thing up in the infield.

Wha' happened??

That, and juggling. Maybe also jump through flaming hoops, and speak while drinking a glass of water.

while people are speaking. Give them laptops but NO internet access, just intranet access. None of this wandering in and out of the chamber doing other kinds of work. They get potty breaks once every two hours and then it's BACK AT THE DESK.

I bet they'd stay on target more and really get a lot more work done, heh heh heh.

with alcohol

that always makes it fun.

The Canadian Parliamentary affairs channel.

Canadian Parliament is often describe as "Like British Parliament, with a two drink minimum."

It's all the yelling of insults and swearing under the breath.

Or ovaries, as the case may be.

could possibly be heard. Also, they could get Robery Byrd to talk for 72 hours straight then get Fritz Hollings to talk for 72 hours straight. That'd be interesting.

Conventions. You had to read your fortune then add the words "in bed". I still remember a particularly hilarious fortune. "when you learn to be flexible new opportunities present themselves to you" You can fill in the rest.;)

the annoncments cheer.
if anyone says the word announcments. the rest of the senators chant

A-double-N-O-U-N-C-E-M-E-N-T-S

A-double-N-O-U-N-C-E-M-E-N-T-S

Take off your pants, take off your pants, we won't shut up till you take off you pants

:shrug:

or maybe even more appropriately, Big Brother. THEY have to do their own damn shopping, laundry and housecleaning, etc.

":wtf: Where's my rug? Tom - WhyTF is my rug in with your underwear?!? I CAN'T GO OUT THERE WITHOUT MY RUG!!"

but we have to be a little realistic:P

Those shitheads are so freakin' stupid it's hilarious.

at who ever is speaking if they disagree

Ponies, llamas, goats, bunnies, and more! A different animal at each Senator's desk!

There could be, like, a special speaking armadillo, and you can only speak as long as you're holding him/her...

And I'm not quite sure how, but Jack Hannah would have to be involved somehow.
