Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy. We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail. We shall, as always, end with a smile.

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)
New positions and strangeness comes out.
Let us begin with the new White House Press Secretary and how dumb she is turning out to be, yon descendants.
Her name is Jen Psaki and at first I thought she was doing pretty well for being so new on the job.
She has a lot of experience in this sort of job. She worked for the John Kerry campaign and was a consultant with President Obama.
One of her biggest gaffes so far is how she mocked a reporter's question on "The Space Force".
America really does have a Space Force and she didn't know it? She made a fool of herself for her derision was obvious and made her look stupid.
I am hearing compilations of her constant "ums" and "ohs" and her famous "let me circle around to it".
So far, yon descendants, she's not doing a very good job.
How Can We Not Laugh At This?
But of course those who giggle and smirk at our new Dr. Levine, now our Assistant Health Secretary, will be chastised and BankofAmerica shall be consulted.
Come on, this guy looks like....well an old guy putting on a dress and a female wig.
And get a load of the picture below. Seriously, someone dresses like this? It's a call for endless guffaws. Obviously this picture was taken secretly, hence the blurring.
I will never, yon descendants, take this guy seriously on any level.
But I will laugh, Lord I will laugh.
MAJOR CULTURE EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(one more update)
Males Can Compete With Females
What's with all these men wanting to be women? Or if not dressing in frilly blue dresses, they want to compete against women.
Almost all of the creatures on the planet have bigger males than females. Females are in charge of bearing young or sitting upon the eggs. Their smaller size, as God Himself has planned, helps to keep them safe, not easily seen.
The males of the species need to be bigger as they protect the young preparing to be born or hatched.
So to have these sexes compete against each other in things that involve strength or more physical prowess is unfair and, dare I say it, a bit stupid.

OVER THE INTERNET
(social media explains so much)
REVIEWS TV SHOWS
(since I watch so much TV, not for my descendants)
Card Sharks
ABC 9pm, Sunday, Joel McHale-host
I saw this show in the Xfinity guide called "Card Sharks" and I have a passing interest in game shows so I decided to tune in.
I saw this show in the Xfinity guide called "Card Sharks" and I have a passing interest in game shows so I decided to tune in.
It's an odd game show, somewhat interesting, somewhat boring.
All contenders are introduced and give a background of their life. I like this. I like to know the contenders that I should know who to root for. The first aspect of the game begins and the two contenders are asked to guess a percentage of the response.
For example "What percentage of our survey said they always eat peanut butter with jelly sandwiches?" (psssst I made this up). A contender cannot go over the survey percentage but whoever gets closest is the winner.
This part is kind of intriguing and held my interest.
There is then another part of the game that has the contenders guess whether a line of cards will go UP or DOWN as the next card is exposed.
The game rules get a bit busy so much that I got confused. But common sense is that if it is a jack showing for your HIGHER or LOWER guess, statistically it's more likely the next card would be LOWER.
Pretty simple type of game. An ACE is the great card because you know anything else is going to be lower than an ace. Although I don't know what happens if another ACE shows up on the reveal.
There is some part of the game that has the contender going to a half a million dollars but also money is won for a collection of correct answers until a wrong one is guessed.
I don't think I will watch this show much anymore as.....well I like Jeopardy.
Guessing whether cards are higher or lower does not hold much excitement for me.

EDITORIAL
(My opinion for my descendants)
In defense of liberalism.....air bags, seatbelts

EDITORIAL
(My opinion for my descendants)
In defense of liberalism.....air bags, seatbelts
So I did some thinking and thought back to my days as a liberal, back in my college days.
As I aged I came to understand that we tend to get more conservative as we get older.
Still, I ponder at times, there had to be some liberal ideas that were good. Right?
I mean solar panels don't seem to be working. Windmill power is going nowhere. Having John Kerry ride around in his own airplane killing with his carbon output is dumb.
And I thought of two liberal ideas that as I remember, conservatives fought mightily.
One was seatbelts.
Oh how I remember the arguments on mandatory seatbelts, THAT MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHEN IN THE CAR, caused.
But pay attention. No one gets in a car anymore without immediately looking for the seatbelts and the receiving buckle. We, or I at the least, accept that seatbelts just make sense. And I've grown used to them.
Not everyone wears seatbelts, of course. In fact my own husband NEVER wore a seatbelt although I would chastise him for it. You hear all the time about people who died because they were not wearing a seatbelt.
Then, of course, there is the issue of the air bags. When that first became an issue I rolled my eyes. The car insurance companies were determined to guide our lawmakers into forcing auto makers, via laws from those who govern, into being in the safest vehicles that they do not have to pay.
So masks? So we got to wear masks now. Long before this pandemic I saw lots of oriental people always wearing masks. We do really catch germs from others who sneeze or spit out tiny pieces of droplets carrying that which would kill us.
Well I hate masks but given American ingenuity we can come up with something better and more comfortable. Not that I'm espousing a new mask law but if a mask was comfortable for me to breathe, did not fog up my glasses and most important, faces would be fully visible. I will never be comfortable with a populace whose face is covered up by half. I like smiles.
But I type out loud as I ponder.
I snap my seat belt upon getting in the car by force of habit, not by my sudden memory that seat belts will save my life. But if I get into that car with my granddaughter I always remind her to snap her seatbelt. I do this because if we get into an accident I don't want her to get hurt.
Well it's complicated I suppose but again, I got a busy brain and I need to figure things out.

Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog. I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation. Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling. I am, after all, only a fly.

Meeting of the "Change America" Committee
Folks, it was completely by accident that I chanced upon this human meeting off of wing of the big building humans call the White House.
I was winging around, looking for crumbs and dead things when I saw about four people sitting in a room drinking coffee and eating cake. I honestly flew in to look for cake crumbs but I was quite surprised at what they were discussing.
First, it was the lady with the red hair who I seem to fly into quite often nowadays. I have learned she is what is called the press secretary and I see her everywhere of late.
"Call us the "Change America," group she said, loudly, as I flew and landed on the ceiling to better see what was upon.
I don't know who the other attendees were but they seemed to be quite involved with this new administration which I was just learning about.
"We got rid of that damn pipeline," one man said.....I think his name was John. I'd seen him around before and I am to understand he served in Viet Nam.
"We'll get a bunch of bucks from Iran and Russia for that," another attendee, still don't know who he was. "They don't want America taking over the energy industry so we won an election and are changing things that need to be changed."
"I am so glad we got males who think they are female a chance to compete against women," another guy said. That guy....well he seemed to be the sort who likes other guys but I'm a fly and I'm just guessing.
"We will be meeting here every week at this time," the press secretary said to get order in the meeting. "If you want to call it the "Change America" group it's ok but let us keep it between ourselves."
I did, in fact, find some cake crumbs and listened to the sound of human voices describing all the things they were going to change from the prior administration.
Here's hoping they don't ban crumbs.
That would be a change this fly would not like.
