Reason's Brian Doherty has a great bit on the self-congratulatory orgy currently occuring under the Capitol Dome. Here's the opening:

The First Hundred Hours have begun. (Lest anyone wonder why they aren't already over, new Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi meant congressional working hours, not real hours.) We've seen Pelosi show exactly how much her own wonderfulness needs to be celebrated-and her grandiose tendency to think of herself as Mangog-like living embodiment of all the glories and splendors of her entire gender.

But what of the Democrat's 100 Hours agenda, past celebrating Pelosi-hood? It's not worth the cannoli with which it was launched.
