When Pelosi took office, she was going to have the hardest working, most honest, and even promised to have this gas price situation fixed congress ever.
Instead we’ve been treated to the most bizarre congress ever. Their approval ratings are the lowest ever too, having sunk down to single digits.

Remember that menu change they had? I suppose that was important. They have also:
- Saluted such milestones as the Idaho Potato Commission’s 70th anniversary
- Recognized soil as an "essential natural resource."
- Designated May 5-9 as National Substitute Teacher Recognition Week
- Set July 28 as the Day of the American Cowboy
- Establishing July as National Watermelon Month.
