    Nancy Pelosi has announced that they will sideline the republicans and move bills to the floor of the house without going through committee and not allow Republicans to offer ammendments.

    I guess the democrats are taking away the democracy that our forefathers fought for, they are acting like a thinly veiled dictatorship.

    Nah, can't be! This is the feelgood party in control now, the party of inclusion.

    Let the party begin!

    Despite the promised "new direction for America," getting the money out of politics and all of that, some facts of Washington life appear immutable and eternal.

    "One hundred hours to make this the most honest and open Congress in history," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared at the beginning of a history-making day -- which ended last night with the Democrat from California presiding over a glitzy fundraiser open to anyone with $1,000 for a ticket.

    A few folks in the block-long line of partygoers waiting to get into the National Building Museum -- social activists, feminists, union organizers, fat-cat liberals, Hollywood allies and not a few serious Deadheads -- did sense the cognitive dissonance. They promptly dismissed it in a tidal wave of idealism about the future under the nation's first female speaker of the House.

    They had waited a long time for this night to party, nibble on goat cheese ravioli with pumpkin and truffle, wipe their lips with paper napkins embossed in gold with "Speaker Pelosi January 4, 2007," listen to former members of the Grateful Dead sing "Truckin' " and Tony Bennett sing "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."

    "Democrats are back!" Pelosi said in her remarks during the few minutes reporters were permitted inside. "We are ready to lead, prepared to govern and determined to make you proud."

    Sing along with me :

    Driving that train, high on cocaine,
    Casey jones is ready, watch your speed.
    Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
    And you know that notion just crossed my mind.


    Trouble ahead, lady in red,

    Take my advice youd be better off dead.
    Switchmans sleeping, train one hundred is
    On the wrong track and headed for you.
    :lol:

    Do you think there is some wacko out there cleaning & polishing his investment allowed by the 2nd Amendment while coming up with the "Perfect Plan" for the new Queen Bee?

    I think Nancy Pelosi needs a good hard rodgering, and seeing as O'Keefe is the only unattached guy on the board I'm aware of, I nominate him to do the honors.
