Nancy Pelosi is now a Saint....CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? On a Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D. C., House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's aide visited the Cardinal of the Catholic Cathedral. He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's sermon, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint. The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the woman, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Pelosi's views." Pelosi's aide then said, "Look. I'll...

The United States is aware of its duty to "lead the way" to recovery from the financial and economic crisis sweeping the world, US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in Rome. "I bring the commitment of the United States that as we work to strengthen our own economy, we do so understanding our responsibility (in) leading the way for the worldwide economy to progress and to improve," Pelosi told reporters. Pelosi... said her weeklong visit to Italy had been "transforming" in demonstrating how Rome and the United States "can work together on the issues that challenge the whole...

The US administration is committed to a "new era of cooperation" with its allies, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday during a visit to Rome. "You can look forward to that new era of cooperation and that possibly will start with Afghanistan," Pelosi told a news conference, adding tongue in cheek: "not necessarily alphabetically." Flanked by her Italian counterpart Gianfranco Fini, the Italian-American Pelosi said: "There is no way that we will establish a policy that then imposes upon others obligations for which they have no consultation." President Barack Obama has signalled that his presidency would turn the page...

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Just 5 days before the election, at 3a.m. on October 30th, all of the front windows of the Cindy Sheehan for Congress campaign offices were shattered.

  CORNWALL, UK (18 Sep 2008) — It is a mystery that has perplexed treasure-hunters for centuries: how to find the wreck of a ship that sank carrying not only the world's most famous actress, but her fantastic riches.Now two British divers claim to have found the Nancy, which was smashed on rocks off Cornwall in a storm in 1784.Among those on board the ill-fated voyage from Bombay to London was Ann Cargill, a beautiful opera singer as renowned for her scandalous love-life as her talents.The 24-year-old took her fortune on board the ship after she was expelled from India...

I can’t help but remember the lyrics, “that was the night the lights went out in Georgia.” Of course some of the words can be changed, but it certainly fits our situation today. The People ask for a vote, and Nancy says we can’t have a vote, because the Republicans lie and we are too stupid to know it. The House Republicans ask for a debate and Nancy turns out the lights. The People pay her to be Speaker of the House, and she claims she is “Savior of the Planet.” Nancy, if you would like to “save the planet,”...

It had a way of putting a smile on everyone’s face and putting them in the mood to work cooperatively.“I know the Iraqi and Afghani people will feel the warmth and goodness of...

One of the ways the Dems advertise their universal healthcare plan is by saying, "all Americans should have access to the same medical coverage our congressmen have." Well, Nancy Pelosi is taking this to another level: she used Senator Kennedy's tragic situation with brain cancer to advertise their healthcare plan like a used car salesman, "I have confidence, though, because Sen. Kennedy has been a fighter all his life. He is a fighter, a fighter for our children, a fighter for our seniors, HE IS A CHAMPION FOR HEALTHCARE FOR ALL AMERICANS." Does this woman have no shame?!?

If there is one person the DUmmies hate right now as much as they hate Chimpy McBush, it is. . . . No, it is not Mrs. Clinton. The DUmmies view Hillary the Inevitable with resigned disgust, but not with red-hot hatred. Rather, the target of their flaming arrows, especially lately, has been none other than Speaker of the House of Wax Nancy Pelosi. The DUmmies have been UNLOADING on the Baroness of Botox, as we can see in this THREAD, "Pelosi has got to go!" and this THREAD, "Pelosi, in her most breathless Marilyn Monroe voice." To be...

Iraq: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the military success of the surge "misses the point" and complains of too little political progress in Baghdad. Is she blind, or do she and other Democrats just refuse to see? Responding to President Bush's speech to veterans in Reno, Nev., on Tuesday, Pelosi pointed to continued sectarian violence in Iraq. "Rather than reducing the threat of terrorism and promoting stability in the Middle East, the President's Iraq policy is making each worse," she said in a statement. Not surprisingly, Pelosi also dutifully repeated the mantra so prominent in the Democrats' talking points: "The...

Me? I support people who dodged bullets to vote instead of those who dodged votes for more bullets.

We are still awaiting further details, but PWInsider.com is extremely saddened to report that former WWE and WCW World champion Chris Benoit and his wife, former WCW and ECW personality Nancy "Woman" Benoit were both found dead today in Atlanta, Georgia. Obviously this will be a huge developing story in the days to come but at this point, we'd like to express our deepest condolences to the Benoits' family, friends, and fans at this time. A meeting is currently ongoing at WWE TV and it is expected that tonight's three hour Raw will now be dedicated to Benoit's memory. 6:09...

The Los Angeles Times article about the Bloomberg poll it sponsored highlighted the fact that Fred Thompson is only six points behind Rudy Giuliani in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. For those watching the nomination polls, that's encouraging but hardly shocking. But many other poll results are downright surprising. For instance, the LA Times treats Republican-leaning independents as Republican primary voters, as if the rest of the nation followed California's relatively unique system of open primaries. But Giuliani leads among independents, 31-17. The category “Conservative Republicans” seems to track very closely to an estimate of the results of...
