You know how something makes you squeak with joy, and you replay it a couple times and it just keeps getting better, and at the end you're just sort of pawing at the tv or computer screen, full of love?

I'm totally doing that right now.

Remember that song, "Ride, Sally Ride"? (Or was that before your time? Sally Ride = astronaut on the shuttle, and the first American woman in space, in 1983, which is pitiful but that's a rant for another day.)

We need another song: "Pound that Gavel, Nancy Pelosi!"

This particular gavel belonged to Barbara Boxer, but I enjoy watching Nancy Pelosi at work too. Maybe there should be some new variation of the If I had a Hammer song for them. Not quite as catchy as Ride, Sally Ride, but I'd sing along. ;-)

And as soon as I hit send I thought, oh, duh, she was referring to Pelosi as the first woman to be speaker, not as the swinger of this particular hammer. *rolls eyes at self*

This is me, hiding my face in shame.

Nitpick: The song is actually "Mustang Sally" and it was written in 1965, well before Sally Ride became famous.

No, actually, "Ride, Sally Ride" is a different song. With not nearly as catchy a tune as "Mustang Sally".
