...how is it a GOOD thing to suspend parliament? How is it even an OK thing? Or an allowable thing?? It seems very sketchy to me. I mean...good lord. They can DO that?

these are 2 of the ornaments, except our were in much better condition.
With no Parliament, does that mean that the Governor General (and the Queen) rule by decree?
Ah, that's why it's Prorogued, not ended or cancelled. It means that the government still rules, but is not sitting in the House. I guess it's the Parliamentary equivalent of being on a break.
It's controversial right now, because normally government is prorogued at the end of a session, when all the business is done, and not to avoid a confidence vote.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The parliament should be quite well protected. If it survived the freezing process, that is.

Where did you get the bats?
Pete meticulously cut them out of black craft foam, because when I started to do it myself, he twitched at my design sense.
Ha! I knew the tentacle dress was going to be the one from Vecona. I love her work.

Well, didn't we suspend Congress for a while? And I know there's been various legislative lockouts and such (I recall TX Rangers being sent to hunt down TX House members who were hiding to avoid a vote).

It still cracks me up.

I have found a couple of ebay auctions now with the pink ornament, but I think we still have that one. (Or I broke it only recently.)
Also, the prices for vintage ornaments on Etsy are insane!
