Prorogue
I don't even know how to pronounce it, but it seems like one hell of an interesting way to run a country.
Meanwhile, in Washington DC, one representative wonders if we have even one functioning president:
Governor General Michaelle Jean agreed to prorogue - or suspend - parliament until 26 January when the government is set to present its economic plan.
Ms Jean - the representative of head of state Queen Elizabeth II - has the right to make a final decision on such matters.
Meanwhile, in Washington DC, one representative wonders if we have even one functioning president:
Frank, who has been dealing with both the bailout of the financial industry and a proposed rescue of Detroit automakers, said Obama needs to play a more significant role on economic issues.
"At a time of great crisis with mortgage foreclosures and autos, he says we only have one president at a time," Frank said. "I'm afraid that overstates the number of presidents we have. He's got to remedy that situation."

I have mixed feelings about the virtues of parliamentary systems compared with our own. But they are certainly more interesting.
