Nancy Pelosi came out and pooh poohed any thoughts about working with the Republicans for the next four years.

Nothing like throwing in the towel on the first day.

Here's something to chew on.

Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Baba Boxer, Dianne Frankenstein, and Laura Chick are all elected officials here in Cah lee fuh nee ah.

They are very strong willed and opinionated.

They all are very dramatic when they are on camera.

They all have funny names.

They validate the 'nut' part of the phrase, "California, the land of fruits and nuts."
