I think I'd like to see the fourteenth century. It's always interested me.

Just two more questions:
Do you suppose this was a successful party? (question particularly for Matt and Hypatia)
Why is it important to drive traffic through the front page? (question particularly for the Italics - yes you!)

Alabaster House events are always successful, Leo.
The thing I like about having social events like this is that it gives me a chance to meet people. That's important for politicians.

Yes, with Wolfgang in the kitchen, you've got my vote. Of course, I'm assuming you're running on a platform of "cream teas for everyone!"

Hypatia Posted Sep 6, 2007
Hey, I did repeal the dreaded cake tax as my first official Presidential act.
And we aren't having another election until I either die or resign in protest over an act of Parliament. Those are the rules. I'm afraid you're stuck with me for a while. Lucky for everyone that I'm so darn nice.

...for which we are eternally grateful.
How's that democratic? Sounds like we elected a parliamentary monarch.
