Decline and Fall

You remember we talked about George Galloway? The British MP accused of taking bribes from the Iraqi government who has now decided to be a celebrity?

Well, on Celebrity Big Brother last night, it appears he pretended to be a cat.

George Galloway, celebrity.

Did I mention that MP stands for "Member of Parliament"? Yes, Mr Galloway was elected to the House of Commons, which is the lower house of the legislative branch of the British government. Legislative means that it makes laws.

So, the man miming the act of licking milk out of a bowl is a lawmaker of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, what remains of the once mighty British Empire, on which, it used to be said, the sun never set.

I think we'll leave it there for today.
