Oh, I Think So

In these very weird times, I've had to find something to make me laugh.  In his column of today, Nicholas Kristof of the NY Times shared a quote from George Orwell:  "Every joke is a tiny revolution."  I've been making as many tiny revolutions as I am able. Only one person has gotten two cards and there have not been too many sent but enough that I think about it and it makes me smile. Years ago on the website ICanHasCheezburger.com, before it is was bought and changed, before many of the categories like politics and graphs were removed, I used to have a delightful time writing memes.  It was a wonderful hobby.  There was a beautiful day that I had three different memes on the front page of each of three categories -- cats, politics, and graphs.  But the site became unwieldly as the new owner added in so many ads that it was hard to read the memes, let alone create them,  and I just gave up. My hobby of political memes is back in the form of postcards!...

YES!  It's Joan Ruth "Kiki" Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America.  One of the brilliant legal minds of ours or any age, Justice Ginsburg passed away on Friday at the age of 87.  Her dying wish was that her replacement be appointed by whoever wins the November election.  Trump and his dear friend, Moscow Mitch McConnell, will try to make sure she doesn't get her wish. When asked about being compared to Notorious BIG, wearing a crown and sunglasses in a meme like he did, RBG said, "He and I had lot in common."  The audience laughed and she said, "We were both from Brooklyn, born and bred." RIP, RBG. Bill Clinton introducing RBG as his choice to serve on the Supreme Court. Courtesy of NY Times Martin Ginsburg, standing, at the Senate confirmation hearing of RBG.
