big ups to nancy pelosi...today she officially became the first woman speaker of the u.s. house of representatives, as well as the first californian and first san franciscan to become speaker of the 435 member house. third-in-command, baby!
"this is an historic moment, for the congress, and for the women of this country," she[nancy pelosi] was to tell her colleagues. "it is a moment for which we have waited more than 200 years. never losing faith, we waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights." - sfgate.com
yeah! as a woman, as a californian, as a catholic, and as a bay area resident, i'm proud that she is representing me.
