Under the Dome

Chris Holden
Every Wednesday, the Constitution of the United Kingdom requires the sitting Prime Minister to face 30 minutes of questions from ministers in the House of Commons. No subpoenas required.

So like the BBC's PM Wednesdays, call this CM Tuesday.

While talking with Pasadena Councilman Chris Holden about arguably less important matters, I took the opportunity to put him on the spot regarding his positions on some serious issues.

Airwolf or Blue Thunder?

"Blue Thunder," Chris says, admitting he doesn't remember Airwolf. "I thought it was pretty good. I like Roy Scheider."

Pirates or Ninjas?

"I think that pirates have been popularized in our culure a little bit more so than ninjas," he muses. "But ninjas are cool. A pirate, you see coming; a ninja you don't. I want people to see me coming so i'm going to go with pirate."

I am glad to see that you are finally doing the kind of reporting that matters (to blog readers). Unfortunately, Mr. Holden may have made a grave mistake in siding against the ninjas. It would be braggable if he can defend himself from his flipped-out ninja constituency.

Yo-ho yo-ho a pirate's life for Chris! You should have asked him "Arrested Development" or "The Office"?

More importantly, you should have asked whether or not he considers himself one of the "neat people" and what his favorite videogame is?

Once I have identified the parties responsible for the closing of "the Pak," (http://www.gamespot.com/news/2863632.html) I'll secure my vengeance.

The owner closed "The Pak" because it was a financial sinkhole. Gamers were all staying home playing X-Box and Playstation...
