C’MON NANCY, WASH YOUR HAIR.

When I was a child, most ordinary women washed their own hair. Once a week was the norm. There were various shampoos like Prell that were supposed to do something special. Afterwards, you might set your hair with pin curls, curlers , or in later years, rollers. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that portable hair dryers made blow dried hair popular, and women began to depend upon beauty parlors. The point is, most women are capable of washing and styling their own hair. Especially during this pandemic. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi apparently can’t do that. I guess we all saw the picture of her at a beauty salon last week, walking around with wet hair and no mask. All of which is against San Francisco’s restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic. C’mon Nancy, wash your hair.

Speaker of the House, Nancy Peolois should wash her own hair during this pandemic. — Nancy Pelosi was criticized for breaking pandemic rules at a hair salon last week. C’mon Nancy. Wash Your Hair.

It’s real simple. Just step in the shower, apply some shampoo, rub it in, and turn on the water. See, you don’t have to go to a beauty salon to have clean hair! Of course, you need someone to put on the proper amount of goo and blow dry it to the desired style.. But you’d think an 80 year old woman would have figured out how to do that by now. She seems pretty spry when you see her on television.

Let’s give Nancy Pelosi the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she has arthritic shoulders , and she can’t lift her hands to her head. Or, she could be afraid of falling in the shower. Doesn’t she have any help around the house? I’m willing to bet she has a maid, cleaning woman, housekeeper, or whatever euphemism is used to describe women who earn their living by taking care of other people’s needs. And she has some daughters and grandchildren nearby who could help out—if they wanted to.

Nancy doesn’t appear to be frugal. I can’t remember seeing her twice in the same outfit. Apparently, she lives in a gated community of mansions. Surely, she has enough money to pay a hairdresser to come to her house. Many people do that, especially if they’re handicapped. It boggles the mind to think she would break all the quarantine rules in San Francisco just to have her hair washed.

C’mon Nancy, wash your hair.

PELOSI’S PENS WERE A CRASS ACT

Many pastimes, like bridge or golf, can be intensely competitive. But when a player high fives or gloats after winning, it’s annoying to the losers. A winner showing pleasure at the other’s persons failure is seen as arrogant and offensive. For awhile , it looked like Nancy Pelosi was a class act. She appeared somber in a black dress, and declared she was praying for Trump. But her pious image changed when she signed the articles of impeachment. She gloated and flaunted herself in a bright pink dress. Then, she merrily pulled out 30 gold pens with her name engraved on them. After signing impeachment papers, she giddily handed out the pens as souvenirs. Pelosi’s pens were a crass act.

Nancy Pelosi handed out impeachement pens engraved with her name — After signing the articles of impeachment, Pelosi handed out souvenir pens engraved with her signature.

Yes, I know. Trump has made fun of her and called her names. He’s been a boor. She has every right to be happy she finally got him impeached. But, just for the sake of decorum, a more dignified behavior would have been in order. Do you pray for your enemies, or dance on their graves, Mother Nancy? You can’t have it both ways.

The Speaker of the House seems to forget that roughly half the citizens of the USA aren’t happy about the impeachment. But she made it clear that she doesn’t care about that “basket of deplorables” in this country who voted for Trump. Basically she was sticking out her tongue and jumping up and down like a rude little kid . And she trivialized the whole impeachment proceeding, as if it were just a party game.

“Do not gloat when you enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles, or the Lord will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him”

AGING, RAGING POLITICIANS DUKE IT OUT

Presidential hopeful Joe Biden challenges an Iowa farmer to a push up contest and IQ test, and calls him a damn liar. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, tells a journalist asking difficult questions, “don’t mess with me.” This, after stating she “doesn’t hate anyone,” because she’s a Catholic??? Donald Trump has nasty nicknames for his critics and constantly repeats himself. He calls himself a “stable genius.” While the aging, raging politicians duke it out, it leaves this octogenarian wondering. Although I abhor blatant ageism, sometimes we have to face the facts. Should a person in their mid seventies run for office? And if not, why?

Elderly politicians show a lot of anger — Seniors may have more problems with anger management.

1. Older people are angrier. One of the most common emotions seen in the aging population is anger. It may be a symptom of depression, but often, it’s a manifestations of the aging process, itself.

2. The elderly are less able to handle stress. Their heart and lungs may not have the capacity they once did, making recovery from stress more difficult. As people age, they don’t sleep as soundly, which causes higher levels of stress hormones in the brain..

3. Reflexes change as we age. According to the Merck Manual. the peripheral nerves conduct impulses more slowly as people get older. This results in slower reflexes, decreased sensation and clumsiness.

4: Aging changes decision making ability. Neuroscientists have found that older adults are less able to hold on to complex thoughts, and have a harder time making decisions that require considering multiple options. However, decisions that require established knowledge remain strong well into old age.

The most impressive thing about the Democratic Presidential debates was the demeanor of the younger candidates. While I didn’t agree with all of their policies, they presented them in a thoughtful, rational manner. I know experience matters. But I’m not sure the aging brain is capable of grappling all the complexities of managing our great nation and keeping it safe for our grandchildren.

No one can run for president in the United States until they are thirty five years old. As aging, raging senior politicians duke it out, you wonder if there should be age restrictions at the end of the life cycle.
