Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.
Enjoy. Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Nominated New Supreme Court Justice-Ketanji Brown Jackson
Why yes I did watch the interview of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson on Tuesday, 3/22/2022, as she was interviewed by members of the Senate judicial committee.
I'd suggest that for the most part Jackson did a good job. She smiled a lot and was mostly pleasant.
But there are issues that do not favor her.
The biggest problem of the day (although this happened the day after) was Jackson's answer that "no" she could not describe this thing called a woman.
There are also issues on how serious and degenerate child pedophiles are, depending if they use the U.S. mail system or computer to spread their joy.
When the senator asked Jackson to define a "woman", Jackson said she could not. As one might imagine, Jackson has been the subject of spoofing and sarcasm by various political pundits with this answer. "A three year old can define what is a woman," Tucker Carlson said, as I paraphrase. Dan Bongino had a great time with that answer.
And so I must ask, just why can't Jackson, now a nominated Supreme Court Justice, define what is a woman?
I think I know her logic. And it's very stupid.
The Democrat party are great friends with the LGBTQ community, which sands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer community. These are people are different from their biological sex for many reasons. We now have a winner of the NCAA women's swimming championship who is, ahem, a man.
The NCAA is a big supporter of the Democrats and thus they will allow he with testicles to be declared the winner of a women's sports contest. We also have a proud member of the federal bureaucracy who is also a man recently declared a "woman of the year".
I suspect that Jackson knows this issue is coming before the Supreme Court, sooner or later, and didn't want to confine the definition of a woman as a person with ovaries.
For Jackson is a liberal folks, a liberal who thinks that people who send child pornography over the Internet to not be as bad, and not deserving of the same punishment as, people who send pornography via the U.S. Mail.
Jackson will have to vote that with what appears to be her definition of a woman as a human who considers his, or her, self a female.
And sending child porn over the Internet requires one key to send out millions. This does not mean this social medial creature should go to jail as long as the guy who lugged envelopes and paid for their mailing.
Well, of course I don't quite understand that logic but never mind.
Let us pay attention to what Republicans vote to put this woman (YES, SHE IS A WOMAN!) on the Supreme Court.

Madeleine Albright Dies of Cancer at Age 84
I don't know much about Madeleine Albright because during her term as Secretary of State I was not quite as politically attentive as I am now.
I know there was lots of mockery of her by , well by conservatives, and that she, well she was just weird.
One big story about Albright is the time she was mistaken for a cleaning woman.
W A S H I N G T O N, Feb. 4
When a bunch of Albanians mistook Madeleine Albright for a hotel cleaning
lady, the secretary of state spewed a most-undiplomatic, and untranslatable,
stream of invective, a newspaper reports.
A State Department spokesman wouldn’t comment on the New York Daily
News report that Albright was mistaken for a maid during last year’s peace
negotiations for Kosovo in Rambouillet, France.
Albright at first wasn’t recognized by the Albanian delegation when she
walked into their room, it said.
“One member of the delegation, who didn’t realize who she was, and
probably thinking she was some cleaning lady because it was after midnight,
simply said to her, ‘Give us five minutes and please go away,’” recalled
Albanian diplomat Dugagjin Gorani in War on Europe, a British TV program.
Instead, Albright exploded in rage, swearing at the group, according to
“Mrs. Albright started using explicit language which the translators
never could translate into Albanian,” says Veton Surroi, another member of
Well I suppose I would not have liked being thought of as a cleaning woman were I some big important Secretary of State, but from what I have read about Albright few considered it odd that she was considered a woman with a mop because, well truth is, she looked like one.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Albright also had big issues with Kim Jong whatever of North Korea and it is her fault that North Korea now sells uranium enriched product from their nuclear reactor. I am given to understand that North Korea was given permission for all this by Madeleine Albright.
And so may she rest in peace, I thank her for her service to our country.
I will always remember the picture of Albright, and the North Korean politicos clacking wine glasses together.

--------------------------------------------------- Review "American Song Contest"
Monday, 8pm, NBC
So here I am doing a review of a show after its very first airing.
As one can see, the hosts are Snoop Dog and Kelly Clarkson. Clarkson is also a hostess on "The Voice", has her own daily talk show and, of course, was the very first American Idol.
“Across a bloated two hours, each contestant is introduced with a seemingly endless clip package that has them describing their home state—often poking fun at the stereotypes—while explaining the impact their local culture had on them and their music.”
Above in a paragraph which pretty much sums up the show as I see it.
This past Monday, on the show's debut, there were about ten states featured. Rhode Island won the title and THAT singer will move on to the finals.
People, every song on this show sounded the same. The singers screamed the lyrics. Dancers wiggled their booties all around the singer and the electric light show was distracting and added nothing to the equation. And I did not recognize a single song although I think that might have been the intent.
In fact, the quoted paragraph says the singers make fun of their home states, and they do. But I found this feature of the show more interesting than the songs which screamed across my home and scared the hell out of the cats. Although that sort of thing is not all that important to a song unless the behavior as described is a part of the actual song.
Which none of them were. Wisconsin's singer did not mention cheese. Connecticut's singer did not mention nutmegs. And so on.
Frankly, may I sum it up?
I do love Kelly Clarkson but I will not watch this show again.
My cats are happy about this.
