A week without smilies

[Kuan]

How good is you command of language? Can you get your point across without smilies or their equivalents? Let's try:

I love Nancy Pelosi! Nancy will go down in history as the first female speaker of the house in the history of our nation. She'll join women like Janet Reno, the strongest woman in politics, Lorena Bobbit, who empowered women to act, and Hilary Clinton, who made possible the impeachment of a president. I think it's great! It's about time women played an active role in politics!
