Perhaps the gridlock in Washington could be broken if our elected representatives settled their disputes the old-fashioned Ukrainian way – with their fists.
BoingBoing.com has the details:
Vice speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Adam Martynyuk, on the right, throttles deputy Oleg Lyashko during a session in the chamber of the Ukrainian parliament in Kiev on Wednesday, May 18, 2011. According to reports, Lyashko had just asked Martynyuk to let him make a speech, which Martinyuk refused to do on procedural grounds. Lyashko then apparently called his interlocutor a Pharisee, at which point it was on.
Wouldn’t you love to see this same technique put to work in our Congress? Could it be any less effective than the system we have now?
Bring it on. Allen West versus any Democrat.
