I've been to San Francisco three times in my life. The first time was at age 4, and I recall little about that trip. The second time was in 1977, and there were many more positives than negatives in connection with that visit. The last time was in 2004, and my memories are filled with recollections of foul odors, dirty sidewalks and homeless and unkempt people all over the place. Therefore, Nancy Pelosi's terms in Congress -- beginning in 1987 -- certainly haven't done much to benefit the constituents who continue to re-elect her by landslide majorities.
