For folks who don't know their history: The Reichstag fire was an arson attack on the Reichstag building (The German Parliament - directly translated it's the 'Diet of the Realm') in Berlin on 2/27/1933. Marinus van der Lubbe, a young Dutch council communist, was caught at the scene of the fire and arrested for the crime.

And after you're done at the bar you jump into your Lit'l Tyke's Coupe - 

And then you can practice saying your ABC's backwards! This is fun!

Oops R comes after S when you're going backwards, Timmy! But now we can play a new game!

And if you don't win you get to play in Jail!

What a great Christmas!

Nancy (With the stretchable face)

Ms. Pelosi, the 76-year-old San Francisco 'progressive', was expected to easily win re-election when her colleagues voted on Wednesday. She has become the lightning rod for complaints that Democrats have failed to offer a compelling, broad-based economic message to the working-class voters in the Midwest and South who helped them capture the House 10 years ago and made Ms. Pelosi the first woman speaker.

Judging by the House Democrat's vote, it seems they've not listened or still don't understand why they're not doing well with the voting public.
