WHEN IS 100 HOURS NOT 100 HOURS?

I have a new story up about Nancy’s Pelosi’s “First 100 Hours” strategy.  Do you know what “100 hours” means?  Is it real, consecutive hours — in other words, would the Democrats’ legislative blitz last, say, from a Monday at 10 a.m. until Friday at 2 p.m. — or is it some sort of loosely-defined “legislative hours”?  If you guessed real hours, you’re wrong; the “First 100 Hours” could last, well, who knows how long?  And if you think Pelosi and her fellow Democrats are going to complete their “Six for ‘06″ agenda in those hours — however they are defined — you’re probably wrong again.
