Old people can have their C-SPAN. Earlier this month the legislative branch launched HouseHub and SenateHub, a pair of YouTube channel where we the citizens can watch videos of our favorite elected officials who aren’t the President. To celebrate, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi posted what at first looks like a video of cats pattering around her office, but about thirty seconds in we get… RICKROLLED!
While I assume Pelosi didn’t come up with the idea herself, the fact she let her staff do something like this makes her one cool cat. Rar.

So Speaker Crackerjack thinks it’s funny to have the first African-American President of the United States turn into a cat? She needs to learn some respect.
Hell of a way to prove your point about respect by calling the Speaker “Crackerjack.”
Get over it, noob.

Troll season is coming early this year!
I have a feeling that later this year a whole bunch of ’em will show up if any diaries are about me and my campaign.
Maybe they can have their own numbering system to make them feel special. Something like DA13? Or, M[aroon]88?
I’m sorry, I’m out of the loop but I know I have heard you mention it before.

Thanks RedGreen.
Isn’t it nice out today! It’s wonderful to be outside. I got an email from a friend of mine in Vermont–with wind chill factor, minus 37 degrees. We’re supposed to be in the 50s’ today in Estes Park. That’s almost a 90 degree difference. Yikes!
Here is the NOAA link for January in Denver.
January 1984 was very cold for a week.
could change into a cat and that would be fine? That’s racist. See, here in America we strive to treat all races the same (we’re still working on it, but that’s the goal). Elevating one above changing into cats makes it seem like you’re saying that that race is better than the others, the literal definition of racism.
Unless you’re a cat lover, in that case not giving some races the right to be changed to cats would be the racial insult.
the calicos?
in quite a dweeby way — could have done without the explanatory note telling viewers to Google “rickroll.”
It’s like when a flock of seagulls attacks someone. Most anyone’s said the group’s name in years, possibly ever. I’d kill for a Wikipedia page.
I guess we have cats in Colorado. And I guess Rick Astley’s probably been to Colorado.
you know the rules, and so do I.
but I remember LB got something kicked off the front page for not being relevant to Colorado recently. Not that I care, I was just teasing.
I just wanted to tell you how I’m feeling. I got to make you understand.
I tell you, I’m too blind to see.
When I was an intern in the house in 1990 I delivered messages, etc. to then speaker Foley’s office. Man, it is one hell of a palatial office up there. Absolutely beautiful.
And, yes Nancy, sweet Rick Roll.
