Three Thoughts

1. For about 45-odd minutes on 6 Jan 2021....we were fairly close to having Buffalo-hat-wearing guy as the insurrectionist 'President'.  If the Capital Police had done the same behavioral thing as the Uvalde school police folks....the capital would have been put on full-exit priority, with a thousand-odd police heading to their cars....to escape DC before the full take-over.  

It really begs the question....were we even close to a insurrectionist 'President' or was this just a thick 'THC'-induced fantasy?

2.  If I read all this Constitutional chatter of the past year.....it seems like we need sixty-odd pages of new rights written up and passed by the states.

We need a right to Cannabis, a right to marry whoever/whatever, a right to police-protection, a right to passports, a right to cheap cellphone plans, a right to a house, and a right to flip our gender.  

The funny thing....it's all just chatter.  No one is really making any true effort to write a four-line text piece for the Constitution to flip on abortions, or a 6-line text to guarantee housing for everyone. 

3.  It just seems odd....more Americans can name all of the Supreme Court Justices, but can't name all of the actors to 'Ocean's Eleven'.  It's even more odd that the majority of Germans can name at least one of the Justices....when 99-percent of Germans can't name a single Justice from their own Constitutional Court.
