Send Nancy Pelosi a Thank You Message
[Guest post by Aaron Worthing; send your tips here.]
Tell her how great a job she did as speaker, here.
In other words, this is a democratic bleg for some serious @$$-kissing. But that doesn’t mean we can’t join the fun.
I assume each and everyone of them will be screened, but I bet they won’t scrutinize it for long. My suggestion is to write something that sounds at first like a compliment, enough that they might let it in, but in fact is a subtle dig at her.
And share them with us, if you think they are funny or clever. But I will warn you that any address you provide is probably going straight into their files for junk mail purposes. Then again, that means that they will waste their time and stamps sending you correspondence, so its not all bad to get on their list.

Here’s mine:
Brother Bradley J. Fikes, C.O.R. (a18ddc) — 11/18/2010 @ 3:34 pm“America will be most fortunate to get Nancy Pelosi to work for us. Her leadership can’t be praised too highly!”
BB, I hoped you signed that “Right-Wing Whacko”?
AD-RtR/OS! (a60876) — 11/18/2010 @ 3:37 pmNope, I used my real name. Let them make of that what they will!
Brother Bradley J. Fikes, C.O.R. (a18ddc) — 11/18/2010 @ 3:41 pmI can see the IRS from my porch.
AD-RtR/OS! (a60876) — 11/18/2010 @ 4:02 pmMy message to the outgoing Speaker:
Without your splendid leadership, we would not have attained the great accomplishment of 11/2!
AD-RtR/OS! (a60876) — 11/18/2010 @ 4:37 pmI sent her this earlier today:
Thank you for your arrogance and stunning disregard of American voters.
Thank you for filling the swamp instead of draining it.
Thank you for helping elect 60 Republican congresscritters, and 680 Republicans in state offices, too.
We couldn’t have done it without you, and we look forward to further gains as you play out your role of “big frog in a shrinking pond”!
Calvin Dodge (c24b9e) — 11/18/2010 @ 5:04 pmSan Franciscans and Californians must be proud of Nancy Pelosi. Because of her leadship, California is one of the few blue states in a sea of red.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 5:25 pmDRJ – What’s the difference between California and the Titanic?
The passengers on the Titanic did not vote to hit the iceberg.
I heard Dennis Praeger said something along those lines on one of his recent shows.
daleyrocks (940075) — 11/18/2010 @ 5:30 pmDon’t forget to mention to Nancy the fact that her “cleanest ever” Congress is a cesspool of corruption as proven by the pathetic slap on the wrist of Rangel for his tax evasion.
SPQR (26be8b) — 11/18/2010 @ 5:33 pmHeh. I think. Maybe it’s just sad.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 5:38 pmDRJ – It’s a Heh. It can be sad, but we need a sense of humor.
daleyrocks (940075) — 11/18/2010 @ 5:42 pmSPQR
Every time a politician says we are going to be the most ethical ______ ever, i know we are about to get hosed.
Aaron Worthing (b8e056) — 11/18/2010 @ 5:52 pmDRJ – Illinois vs Texas coming up …
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 6:11 pmI thanked her for giving the Pres a Repub House to run against. Promised to send a donation as soon as a death panel brings me an inheritance. Used an email address that might no longer be valid, so…
mallfly (27502b) — 11/18/2010 @ 6:11 pmHere was my entry:
Maybe we’ll all get sentenced to the same Sensitivity Reeducation Camp!
JVW (eccfd6) — 11/18/2010 @ 6:22 pmThank you, SanFranNan.
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 6:23 pmSorry I didn’t respond sooner, JD. I was too busy watching Illinois vs Texas!
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:19 pmThese are going to be 2 good ball clubs.
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:20 pmI like games in the Garden.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:24 pmI don’t care who wins this game if they both keep playing like this. They both look good.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:28 pmHowever, we do need to practice free throws.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:28 pmThis is fun basketball people.
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:33 pmThis is a fun game. Not much D but great offense.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:40 pmJD — You know this stuff. Explain to me why teams can score 3s so easy on Texas.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:41 pmThere is likely more D an the scoreboard shows. These are 2 really good offenses. Both teams have some great young talent.
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:42 pmya’ll are mean.
i mean, I approve, but ya’ll are mean.
🙂
Aaron Worthing (b8e056) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:42 pmIt’s called thread-jacking, AW, and I’m proud of it.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:45 pmBasketball brings out the worst in me, I guess!
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:46 pmHmm.
Now that I’m done writing an entry, I’m worried that they won’t “get” it.
This is tougher than it looks.
Jim,MtnViewCA,USA (5c9d97) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:53 pmJim – not getting it is one of their skills.
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 7:57 pmDRJ @27 – Well played. Double Heh!
daleyrocks (940075) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:13 pmOff topic, I’ve got CSPAN on the office TV this evening, and Maxine Waters is chairing the House Financial Services subcommittee hearings today.
That woman is so stupid, she makes Pelosi look like a genius. Thankfully in a month, she’ll no longer be chairing any committee’s.
SPQR (26be8b) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:24 pmUniversities in Illinois and Texas have state namesake teams that play basketball? Who knew?
I thought that college in Austin played in the Division II league.
To the point, though, I’ll pass on sending Pelosi a Thank You, but I do have a pop quiz.
Can anyone name a House Speaker before, let’s say, 1958, off the top of their head?
I can say Sam Rayburn, but there’s a big lake in Texas named after him.
Pelosi is another blip on the radar screen of history. She just doesn’t realize her time has past.
Ag80 (e828a4) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:26 pm“She just doesn’t realize her time has past.”
Ag80 – I was going to suggest they name a strain of Ebola in her honor to help keep her name out there fresh and in the appropriate context – you know, science and progress and such.
daleyrocks (940075) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:33 pmOr maybe a star. Do they name black holes?
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:34 pmDRJ – I condemn myself, but Sheila Jackson Lee has already got that one covered.
daleyrocks (940075) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:36 pmMeatball over the plate. Somebody’s gotta swing.
daleyrocks (940075) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:39 pmI condemn myself, daley, but I honestly forgot about that. It was a Hallmark card or something, right?
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:39 pmI think that was the Cali. NAACP.
daleyrocks (940075) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:41 pmI just pounced on the easy set up line and went for the preemptive self-condemnation.
The greeting card episode was indeed something memorable.
There is a special place for me.
daleyrocks (940075) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:45 pmThis is a great basketball game. The refs suck, but it is a great game 😉
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:54 pmDenounced and condemned, daleyrocks.
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:55 pmIt is a good game. I’m never any good at telling when the refs or good or bad, but the free throws leave something to be desired on both sides.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:56 pmExcept for right now.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:57 pmActually, Dallas County Commissioner John Wylie Price was the first politician to get his panties in a wad over the term “black hole.” During a budget discussion, an unfortunate white commissioner made the comment on something he considered a waste of money.
The California imbroglio came later.
I think now, the Dallas County Commissioners call boondoggles “the great sucking morass of stupid deficit spending which has nothing to do with race.”
That’s a joke. Actually, they don’t. They call it “progressive budgeting to ease the injustice of prevailing culture.”
Joke, too. What they actually call it is “sitting around in these big chairs while trying to figure out how to benefit from the next no-bid contract in my district.”
They don’t say it out loud, though.
All politics is local.
Ag80 (e828a4) — 11/18/2010 @ 8:58 pmWho will score last with just 1 minute to go? My bet is either McCamey or Thompson.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 9:00 pmAt this rate, nobody is going to score, DRJ.
Ag is cracking me up.
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 9:02 pmDallas should just admit it’s full of Democrats that call themselves Republicans. George W. Bush is a classic Dallas
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 9:04 pmDemocratRepublican.Damn good shot. F@cker.
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 9:04 pmJereme Richmond. Thank you.
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 9:06 pmI have to go out so I won’t get to see the overtime live. Good game, JD, and may whoever wins tonight stomp Pitt tomorrow.
DRJ (d43dcd) — 11/18/2010 @ 9:08 pmAgreed, DRJ. I will promise to be a gracious winner, or a respectful loser, whichever the case may be.
JD (c8c1d2) — 11/18/2010 @ 9:10 pmComment by Ag80 — 11/18/2010 @ 8:26 pm
Div-II ball is played in College Station.
AD-RtR/OS! (a60876) — 11/18/2010 @ 9:13 pmAD-RtR/OS!:
You sir, are a cad, an insolent pimple on the face that all is great, true and holy.
Sure, you may crawl through this life on a modicum of what you call success, but when you impugn the name of the hallowed few who call College Station the ancestral home of the righteous, you disgrace not only the fount of all knowledge, but the foundation of the civilization that allows you to draw your shallow, fetid breaths through your gaping maw.
Besides, A&M plays Division I and you’re just sorry you didn’t go there. And sometimes, we beat Baylor, so, you know, God is on our side.

Tell her how great a job she did as speaker,
Bwaaahahahahahahahahaaaa!!!!
Yeah, she did one helluva bang up job, yesirrreeee…
Blacque Jacques Shellacque (609d83) — 11/18/2010 @ 11:26 pmMadame Speaker —
When the chips were down, and strong actions necessary, you were absolutely stunning as a Speaker.
cthulhu (8e00c9) — 11/18/2010 @ 11:41 pmThe Democrats wouldn’t have gotten where they are today without you, Ms. Pelosi.
Steve B (42224f) — 11/19/2010 @ 2:38 amAW – does twoof resolve to the same place as W and pam ?
JÐ (0d2ffc) — 11/19/2010 @ 6:13 amI’m never any good at telling when the refs or good or bad, Comment by DRJ
That’s easy. If the refs are sticking it to the other team, they’re good. If they’re sticking it to your team, they’re bad.
Meanwhile, important questions on the destiny of the universe and the judicial system in the US lie unanswered in the last two posts about the bombing verdict. Those of us who are not lawyers still want to know why, when, and how it’s ok for attorneys to lie in front of the jury, and what is a jury member supposed to do about it when they know for a fact they just did. For example, if the prosecutor says, “The defendant proved their intent to kill the victim by putting sodium chloride in the salt shaker”, and you, having been awake that day in high school chemistry, know that is streeeeeetching the truth (unless you live in a municipality that has outlawed pure NaCl in restaurants).
