CNN explains politics in Westeros

I hope all of my friends and readers who are fortunate enough to be mothers are having a good day with your loved ones. Not as peaceful elsewhere. In the fictional world of Outremer, I am about to commit mass murder—the deaths of nearly 1,000 men does qualify, right?
I am sure most, if not all, of us are thoroughly disgusted with the US primary campaigning. Apparently, so are the pundits at CNN, for they have decided to cover politics in Westeros, instead, with predictably hilarious results. http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/20...

Therese I love how you say you are about to commit mass murder :-)


message 2: by Sharon (new)

Sharon I even find it therapeutic, Therese!

Therese My caregiver had to commit murder couple of weeks ago – a small lizard got in the house. I don't mind them outside, but… I don't want to find it one day scurrying across my bed when I can't do a thing. The poor thing would be so scared and run so fast that pampered Gracie might not even be able to catch him.

Do you like writing those battle scenes?

Charlene I am sure most, if not all, of us are thoroughly disgusted with the US primary campaigning.

Thoroughly disgusted doesn't even begin to cover it... and November is still many months away.

Love the CNN coverage. That's a classic!

Rebecca LOL I had to laugh at this!.....We're facing our own election here(thank God it only runs for 3 months! Or I'd go mad!) But no matter who the people elect, the politician's themselves will overthrow the leader & the people will end up with a moron they didn't vote for & can't stand!....And I swear if Ramsay Bolton ever runs for Office here I'll emigrate to Braavos & join Assassins United....Valar Morghulis! LOL
