I have been very tough on Nancy Pelosi for a while.




Why stop now?


I was LMAO when I saw a small clip of her being escorted with her Giant Gavel in hand.


She reminded me of Granny out of the "home" for a walk around the block.
Guys at her elbow guiding her down the street, She's all smiles to out in the sunshine, carrying her hammer and looking mighty happy about the whole thing-way too funny.

Actually?

It warmed the cockles of my heart.

Don't get too excited Richard, she isn't going very far. She's still likely
to be the Leader for the Minority. (minority for now) She is far too
valuable to lose permanently.

Don't get too excited Richard, she isn't going very far..

She can walk out into traffic for all I care.

I was just happy to see her out and about and carrying that gavel.

When my mom was in the hospital, there was a woman in the same facility with dementia that always had a baby/doll in her arms.

As long as NP doesn't swing her hammer around, I wish her the best?

At least two new GOP House members now say they won’t enroll in congressional health care programs. Rep.-elect Bobby Schilling of Illinois told ABC’s “Topline”: “My family and I are bringing our own health care to Washington … Congress shouldn’t have anything better than the American people.” Another to-be member refusing congressional insurance is Rep.-elect Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania, who says “Why should my health care as a public official be any different than anybody else’s?” (Hat tip: POLITICO Pulse)

The declarations come after another GOP Rep.-elect, Andy Harris of Maryland, stood up during freshman orientation this week and demanded to know why his government health care plan would take a month to kick in. Some Democrats are calling on Republicans pushing health-care repeal to forgo their own government health care plans out of principle.

Should current and incoming members of Congress who opposed the health care reform bill turn down their government-provided health care?

I've been reading about the Rep. from Maryland and Olbermann had a
spot about him on his show. What a jerk. Why can't he buy his own
insurance like we do? With all the budject cutting ideas floating around,
I have yet to hear about doing away with insurance & pensions for life,
that all of Congress enjoy now.

She can keep her stupid gavel but she needs to give the jet back!!!!

I hope they charge her for any extra mileage?

I've always admired Barbara Bush for her frankness & her humor.

A religion related question ... Sana posted about Eid al Ada (sp?) and I saw a story on the news last night, Lester Holt on NBC. I like him because he's from Chicago. He was with another NBC news reporter who speaks both languages and they were in the home of a family, father and mother and two daughters. They were introducing Lester to the traditional meal for the occasion and the father is a baker. He talked about wanting his daughters to attend college and have a better life than he has had. He served foods that he had baked. So, two questions: is Eid al Ada considered a holiday? I have Muslim co-workers- do I say "happy Eid" like I would "happy Thanksgiving"? By the way, one of my Muslim co-workers is looking forward to having her whole family over for Thanksgiving because it is a U.S. holiday and she is glad to be a citizen. Works for me

Since there are two members here who are of that faith, why not PM
them and ask "direct from the horse's mouth" so to speak?
