Congratulations to Nancy Pelosi, the first female Speaker of the House of Representatives. Not only is she the first Californian and the first Italian-American to hold this post; she is also the highest-ranked woman in American political history. Her new position puts her second in line in the presidential succession, after Vice President Cheney. No woman has ever held such an important position in the US government.
Condolences to Rona Ambrose, Canada's erstwhile Minister of the Environment. Ambrose had the unfortunate job of representing a government that only discovered how important the environment is to Canadians when the Liberals elected Dion as their leader. Her transfer to Intergovernmental Affairs puts her in a portfolio for which she is much better suited, but it now means that not one of the seven female cabinet ministers has a major portfolio.
Please, Britney, say it ain't so. The evening news aired a rumour that Britney Spears plans on making a comeback this year. After partying with Paris sans panties, Brit was allegedly booed at a basketball game. According to the wire services, the singer's website has accused the media "criticized my every move and printed a skewed perception of who I really am as a human being". She goes on to threaten/promise that she will be cominging back "bigger and better than ever". Thanks for the warning, Britney.
