Thank you to all that kicked in to make this happen.

While some members of Congress have been targeted by health-care law opponents, at least one Democrat got a nice surprise from the public Friday. Bloggers at the liberal website Daily Kos sent thousands of roses to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, to celebrate her birthday and her role in passing health-care legislation.

"Thanks to the community at Daily Kos, and others who joined in, Speaker Pelosi received thousands of roses this morning for her 70th birthday," Pelosi's staff wrote. "She sent half of the roses to Walter Reed Army Medical Center and is distributing the other half to hill staff to thank them for all their hard work on the health reform legislation." They've posted photographs of the flowers on Flickr. Pelosi also posted a video thanking the gift-givers.

2. I can't believe she's 70
I would have guessed 60 at the most. I can only dream of having that much energy and looking that good at that age.

11. What a wonderful gesture!
We all owe Speaker Pelosi a debt of gratitude for her tireless work to wrangle votes for HCR.
