From the shameless fan boy file.

While I was waiting for Blogger to come back up from scheduled maintenance, I was on the phone with the Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

Is that cool or what?

Ok, then, a little substance from the call. Speaker Pelosi had some sage counsel for the nervous Nellies in Democratic ranks (she called out Senator Biden in particular)...

"Don't think in the minority, think in the majority."

Words to live by.
