It has been a historic day in Washington as Nancy Pelosi took over as the Speaker of the House.  I read somewhere that 80 other countries have had women in higher leadership positions that the United States.

We have all heard about the first 100 hours. Here is what it looks like..

Thursday 1/4 - Ethics Reform DONE

Friday 1/5 - Budget Controls DONE

Tuesday 1/9 - Security Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission DONE

Wedneday 1/10 - Minimum Wage increase DONE

Thursday 1/11 - Federal funding of Stem Cell Research

Friday 1/12 - Allow Medicare drug price negotiations

Wednesday 1/17 - Reduce interest rates on college loans

Thursday 1/18 - recind tax breaks for big oil and provide tax breaks for alternative energy research.

I don't think the 109th congress worked ANY Fridays.
