Well, it's been a couple of days since I looked at this post, let's see what's become of it!
Nancy Pelosi - flaky when she was in CA, no different now BUT she does have a nice chest, that might not be too bad of a visual!
Dems vs. Rep. - what's new, neither party has the answers because they're so locked up in partisan politics they can't see the forest for the trees. An endless & useless argument.
Beer - great subject! Support your local mini-brewery!
Bottled water - like the SUV, what a marketing ploy! "Let's see just how much we can sell plastic (made from oil, doesn't ever go away) bottles filled with essentially tap water for!" Better: find a plastic bottle lying around your home, fill it with water you drink everyday from the tap & PRESTO: bottled water! Add a couple of drops of lemon juice or whatever if you're feeling like a change.
Hmmm, a nice personal attack by one member on another. I guess when all else fails it's OK to blast someone about their gender. Good move

Curly light bulbs: I have a curly light bulb in darn near every fixture in the house because it saves me money! If it conserves a little bit, well then OK. Will they solve the energy crisis? Not by a long shot!
