1. Go Nancy!

[unblock]

2. how is it that they're letting her speak this long anyway?

did ryan and/or the republican rules committee agree to this? or perhaps all the democrats yielded their time to her?

[OhNo-Really]

5. House rule allows

Pelosi, D-Calif., began speaking shortly after 10 a.m., using her right as minority leader to speak for how long as she wants.

Is that humanly possible

She.mentioned the religious significance of the number 40

6. Is she still going? N/t

7. Just checked, and Rep. Pelosi is 77, going on 78.

Something for those who imagine that's at least a decade past when women should apparently disappear from the workplace. If 60s means "old women," as a DUer referred to them a couple days ago, what do we call this? Probably the new record for the longest floor speech ever.
