Comments From Speaker Pelosi: To my fellow Democrats, do not be concerned if you are suffering from acrophobia. I will stay in the basement. I promise not to climb to any great heights. Don’t worry, I would never dream of going near a skylight. I don’t do sun spots.

Fox News reported an interview by Brit Hume with Ms. Pelosi. Brit asked her if she wanted to win the war or simply end it?
Ms. Pelosi: What’s the point? The point is this – it isn’t a war to win. It’s a situation to be solved and you define winning any way you want, but you must solve the problem.
Comment: Boy, this really helps my self-esteem. I will never have to lose again. Imagine I can tell Mrs. Foghorn, dear I didn’t really lose at poker with the guys, it was a situation to solve and I just left all my money there so I could rush home to you!

*Oliver Wendell Holmes said:
“There are one-story intellects, two story intellects, and three story intellects with skylights. All fact collectors with no aim beyond their facts are one-story men. Two-story men compare, reason and generalize, using labors of the fact collectors as well as their own. Three-story men idealize, imagine and predict. Their best illuminations come from above through the skylight.” (Oliver Wendell Holmes, writer, physician) (Quote is believed to be from a short story called: The Three Story House.)
