The other night I dreamt that Speaker Nancy Pelosi was the head of the world’s largest military grade weapons manufacturer and that she was captured by meany terrorists who threatened to kill her unless she built them a shock-and-awe-inspiring weapon of mass destruction. She was able to free herself from the cave by secretly building an Ironwoman armor contraption which gave her superpowers, like a bulletproof shield, a veto-proof majority, and the ability to fly using jet propulsion booties. (By Prada, of course.)
The whole thing seemed far-fetched, until like many of you, I read the profile of Pelosi in the Wall Street Journal and learned that she is even more of a destructor than my dream allowed. Pelosi, it turns out, is a fan of Harvard’s Clayton Christiansen (pdf) and even describes herself as a “magnificent disrupter.”
Shake it up baby!
