Speaker Nancy is either bored or loopy. Here's what she's planned:

Pelosi to Hold Weekly Press Conference Tomorrow, Celebrate Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day
…
Washington, D.C. To celebrate Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is inviting members of the Capitol Hill press corps and staff to bring their children to her regular weekly press conference tomorrow, Thursday, April 24. Following the regular Q&A, the Speaker will take a few questions from the children.
There are some members of the DC press corps, unfortunately, about whose reproductive ventures I'd sooner remain ignorant. Will these kids be brainwashed into asking about the evil, mutant Bush Administration? What does she tell these innocents if they ask her about San Francisco?
Over at Famous DC (linked above), they "hope this made for TV train wreck is televised." If it's embarrassing, it won't be, so I hope it's not. Then again, C-SPAN will cover it; Brian Lamb's that kind of guy.
And after they're done asking questions, can these kids pretty please replace the Congressional majority's leadership for a few days? I'd expect better things of Speaker Jennifer, age 6, and Majority Leader Bobby, age 11, than we're getting from this current bunch.

It was originally called "Take Your Daughters To Work Day" way back when we wanted to show women that there was more to life than household drudgery.
Well, of course, there was a mini-backlash saying "why can't we take our sons to work?"
Consensus was reached fairly quickly but there was a fight to keep the word "Daughters" in the title of the day because, remember, the point was that we wanted to communicate that girls could grow up to be whatever they wanted.
Sure. Sons can too, but they knew that already.
Or so the theory goes.
I tried to come up with a witty, or at least sarcastic, response but that well appears to be dry for the moment.
