So, this is all I could think-of, upon hearing that Sonia Sotomayor will be confirmed tomorrow as a Supreme Court Justice. Anyplace that could create her, and make tomorrow possible, is great by me.

A close second was the song "Jim Dandy to the Rescue," first recorded by LaVern Baker in the mid-1950s. I kept thinking: "Sonia tooooo the rescue."

Third, I thought of the term: "A Bronx Cheer." But,then, I looked-it-up, and found that it's a term of derision yelled at Yankee Stadium.

But, today, I'm betting it's not. I bet the Stadium, and the streets beyond, are just full of real-Bronx cheers (for Sonia).

Congratulations, Judge; this New-York-born-girl, albeit born in another borough, is just thrilled.

A great weekend to all.
