Members of everybody, lend me your auditory sensory imputs, for today I am Terminator.
39RZ15: PER
39RZ16: PER
39RZ17: CONTRA
39RZ18: CONTRA
38RZ19: PER
39RZ20: CONTRA
39RZ21: PER...although, enlighten me, is this an entirely organic proposition? Sounds like some illegal legislation. I approve of it, however, because I think that it's ammending a typo.
39RZ22: CONTRA
There.
Also, if these votes are premature, I hereby declare this message a time capsule to be dug up on the appropriate date. Thank you.
Done in my hand on this day.

As to 39RZ15, "The I Can't Believe It's Not A Talossa Website Act," I vote PER. This will help draw a needed boundary within the law, and with the changes made will be clear in its action.
As to 39RZ16, "The Talossan Government Transparency Act," I vote PER. Ideally this should not need legislation, but I have no objection to it.
As to 39RZ17, "SENSE OF THE ZIU: Humanitarian Aid Fund, Redux," I vote PER. Again.
As to 39RZ19, "Order of the Bonacon Act," I vote PER. A bit of pomp that is good and well.
As to 39RZ20, "Senats Reform Amendment," I vote PER out of a sense of duty to my electorate, who deserve the chance to pass or deny this. It would seem a fairly clear conflict of interest to kill reasonable legislation limiting my own powers.
As to 39RZ21, "The WTF Amendment," I vote PER because grammar is a good thing.
As to the reprehensible 39RZ22, "The Pengöpäts: Land of Fun Amendment," I vote CONTRA not just once, but several times. I vote CONTRA so hard that it actually hurts my voting muscles. Those who sponsored this bill should be hoisted by their own petards.

Just a reminder to all Senators that 39RZ18 is to be voted on by the Cosa only.

As to 39RZ15, "The I Can't Believe It's Not A Talossa Website Act," I vote PER. I will work with the Minister of Stuff to produce acceptable graphics to brand official websites and provide alternate graphics freely for those that comply.
As to 39RZ16, "The Talossan Government Transparency Act," I vote PER. You can already see through it but....
As to 39RZ17, "SENSE OF THE ZIU: Humanitarian Aid Fund, Redux," I vote Contra.
As to 39RZ19, "Order of the Bonacon Act," I vote PER.
As to 39RZ20, "Senats Reform Amendment," I vote PER
As to 39RZ21, "The WTF Amendment," I vote PER
As to 39RZ22, "The Pengöpäts: Land of Fun Amendment," I vote CONTRA who's idea was this?

The tardy senator from Cézembre bustles into the chamber. "I need a drink!" he exclaims, having just one day previous attending to the matters of the infernal IRS. "More paperwork to be done here, I suppose", but under his bluster he knows that this will be a much more delightful task, one not imposed but freely entered into. Grabbing a massive stein from the top shelf, and blowing a bit of dust off the top he thumbs it open and places it under a tap. "Sawtooth Ale, yes that will do it" - he pours to the brim and then repairs to his desk to render his opinons. 39RZ15, hmm, fine fine, if it's official it will be official and if it is unofficial it can be officially unofficial and if it is unoffically unofficial it will be listed, ok.... PER (quaffs a bit of the ale) 39RZ16, the prime minister writes about what he is doing, sounds kind of like Wittenberg, but I suppose there could be other ways in the future, and if he stopped reporting then I guess he would be sacked, ok ..... PER (guaffs a bit of the ale) 39RZ17, voluntary, save the whales, etc, fine fine... PER (Seeing that he need not render a decision on the next item, quaffs the rest of the first mug, stumbles back to the tap, refills, then retraces his steps). 39RZ19, awards and such are fitting, suitable, festive, etc.... PER (a quaff from the fresh mug) 39RZ20, ah yes, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! Any senator should be able to support any scrutiny .... PER (a deep quaff) 39RZ21, simpler is better, yes, yes .... PER (yet another deep quaff) 30RZ22. WHAT?  PREPOSTEROUS (slams down mug) Those RUMPers are up to their twiddling again! Would serve them right to vote for it since they really want it to be voted against, but I just cant bring my self to. CONTRA. lets go get a drink... XPB |

The Senator from the most-excellent Province of Atatürk enters the chamber. In one hand a glass of the finest currency in the fridge, in the other is a good cigar to be lit after conducting the business at hand.
Good afternoon Your Majesties, Prime Minister, fellow cabinet members, fellow Senators, MCs, and countrymen! It seems the month off was productive. We should have more months off! I humbly cast the following votes.
39RZ15: It seems a quite foolish to draft a bill just to shoot it down. So without further hesitation, I vote PËR.
39RZ16: I don't really see the need for this act. But it is reasonable and fair. Another vote of PËR.
39RZ17: As I've stated before, this sort of activity is better off in the hands of motivated private citizens. I redux my previous vote of CONTRÂ.
39RZ19: OK. It's amusing. I vote PËR.
39RZ20: A solid, well-written piece of legislation and a true demonstration of the legislative process of drafting and compromise. I proudly vote PËR.
39RZ21: Yahoo for things that make sense! I vote PËR.
39RZ22: A great idea! Why didn't we think of this sooner?! I vote CONTRÂ.
God save the King!
Three cheers for Prince Patch! Way to go buddy!
And I'm serious, we should totally have more months off.
The Senator from Atatürk leaves the Chamber, lighting his cigar as he leaves. He resumes his leave on the Left Coast, enjoying the hospitality, currency, and cigars of the in-laws. And enjoying our continuing freedom from the gun control nazis on this most-misused and exploited anniversary.

Considering the date this came out, I thought these must be jokes, but, after further reflection, it seems at least not all of them are.
39RZ15: CONTRÂ. I would be more in favor of specifically labeling official websites as official, and the rest should just be assumed to be unofficial, not that it is a matter of particularly great importance and that is the sort of thing I should have commented earlier; besides my vote will not change the outcome.
39RZ16: CONTRÂ. I suppose I am merely strengthening my reputation as one obsessed with grammar, but I cannot vote for a bill with mistakes of that nature; perhaps it was only a matter of mistake in copying or something of that nature, but it does make the substance of it somewhat unclear to me.
39RZ17: CONTRÂ.
39RZ18: I am slightly confused. If it is only the Cosâ that is supposed to vote on this, then why does it say "THEREFORE the Ziu hereby enacts that..."?
39RZ19: CONTRÂ.
39RZ20: CONTRÂ.
39RZ21: ABSTAIN.
39RZ22: PËR. (Since I haven't yet voted për...)
