Jeopardy

I can't remember if it was last night or the night before, but there were 3 women panelists. One of the clues was to identify Adam Schiff and NO ONE could do that. I was appalled.

And while I'm at it, the ASPCA and their long, hideous, and no doubt expensive commercials. What's up with that?

Why did the ASPCA pres get $852,231, while we got $9.70 an hour?

There's no reason for people who manage organizations to make millions a year and live in mansions. Then the organization gets a few dollars.

a good source, but still some of the execs get too much $$.

I usually check Charity Navigator to see how much the executives are paid before making a donation. Many are paid too much for a charity IMO. I won't contribute to that.

Stealing from Amber says What on Seth Meyers.

Apparently these brainiacs don't know everything.

Oh wait, they can answer clues about trivial things all day long.

But then I realized that not even half could name any Vice President at any time. So a House of Representative from California would not be shocking for them not to know.

but Schiff has been in the news a lot recently. On the other hand I get all the political questions right but flop on many other topics.

are taped many months before airing. I don’t know if these were as I’m not watching this time , but it could have been and Adam wasn’t in the news 24/7 before the HIC hearings.
