Making History

Newspapers are making much of Rep. Pelosi assuming leadership of the House, the first woman to do so. But isn’t it just about time? While other nations like Britain, Germany, even the Philippines have had a woman in the top office of government, the United States is woefully behind in spite of the Women’s Liberation Movement and miles of lip service that support a woman’s place outside of a spatula and baby bottle. Rep. Pelosi is the first to rise out of positions like Senator, Representative, and First Lady. Its about bleeding time.
As for the new Congress taking office, it’s been made loud and clear that even the lazy, apathetic, ADHD American people have been made sufficiently angry by the endless string of incompetence and deceit coming from DC. Have no fear. You have the people’s support. Time to walk the walk.
