    Statehood for DC?

    Are they kidding me? Really?

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined with other Democrat leaders Thursday in pushing for D.C. statehood ahead of a Friday vote in the House, saying making the city the country's 51st state would right a “grave injustice.”
    “Tomorrow we will right this grave injustice which is an affront to our democracy,” Pelosi said at a news conference.
