And now, as part of the Tea Party Revolution, House Republicans are getting rid of the biodegradable utensils and food and drink containers that Nancy Pelosi introduced in the House cafeteria, in favor of the more traditional and evil styrofoam.

When she was able to navigate and to think on her own and make her own way, she was released." Boyfriend Matthew Rutler may still be on the hook for a DUI. [People, image via Getty]
