The Pats are ruining my Winter*

Today's Tids Issue 2,207
Opening Stuff:

That rumble you hear is the pounding in the hearts of surfers as they await the anticipated wave action created by Danielle’s romp thorough Bermuda.

After last night’s Pats Pre-season game against the formerly lowly Rams, the Pats fans are getting restless.

0-Man has been pretty effective at creating government employee jobs. But, like census workers and eventually infrastructure workers, they are temporary. And none of them are value added jobs. Jobs that leverage America’s economy. Unless…unless…we can export the US government. Which would not only improve the trade deficit but keep the pols and bloated executive branch workers out of the country regulating our world competitors into submission instead of our own hard working people.. Works for me. Don’t immigrate. We’ll send our government to you.

The Question:
Here’s poser for most: Name five of the best know Yoga masters.

The Headlines:
--Carter Gets Gift Of Gomes From Kim.
--Stock Markets Wary In Advance Of Bernanke Remarks; Expect Word Of Slowing Economy; Many economists Downgrading Predictions.
--1 Million More Displaced By Pakistan Floods; Rumors Say Taliban Targeting Foreign Aid Workers.
--Danielle Now Cat 4 Storm.
--Scientists Discover Two Multi-Planer Solar Systems.

Back to More Stuff:
Reasons Why Gambling is a Bad Idea:
A woman working a smaller independent pharmacy in Cranston RI embezzled $294,000 to play Keno. Her total winnings over that 18 month period was $20,000. Bad odds! Even worse when you are stealing to feed an addiction.

The Tids has been monitoring the arguments for and against Kindle and Kindle wanabees versus newer multifunctional devices like iPad. The first bit of news is that you have to be a reader who buys 35-75 books to get a payback on your kindle purchase. It is cheaper to order paperbacks from Amazon or drive to Borders than to download to kindle. So basically, Kindles and imitators aren’t for everyone. They’re cool, but not necessarily cost efficient. Now…if you got a free download of the daily Tids with each Kindle book, now we’re talking bonanza!

Note to Taliban attacking foreign aid workers. It’s “Foreign Aid workers” and not “Foreign workers with Aids”.

The con man pulled the wool over the couple’s eyes and they were fleeced.

In Rhode Island we have a long term 2nd District Congressman who in my eyes just exists much like an employee of the Department of Motor Vehicles. He just happens to be a democrat with a sympathetic life (He is in a wheelchair due to a shooting) in a overwhelming Democrat State. I heard one of his Republican potential opponents describe him as a “Nice Guy who is just part of the growing big government problem.” I think this is a good expression for many of the candidates going after incumbents.” One of the issues in American politics is the reelection of incumbents often based on the faulty logic: “The government is in big trouble but my guy isn’t part of the problem.” These folks should realize that your guy is a nice guy be=ut because he there (Often as a log in a chair) he is part of the problem”.

I still think playing the Superbowl In NYC Whoops – New Jersey) in February is a stupid idea. It’s the kind of decisions you get when money trumps intelligence.

As a kid who loved football in the 40’s and 50’s, you couldn’t help but carve out a large piece of your heart for the Cleveland Browns of Paul Brown. Who didn’t dream of becoming Otto Graham, Lou Groza, Marion Motley, Dante Lavelli, Max Speedie, Bill Willis, Frank Gatski, Ray Renfor and Mike Noll just to name a few.

Through the Same Eyes: Chapter 91. –“Where have you been!” Isabelle looked up at me as I entered her office that now had the feel of a fortress. Then she smiled. “I’ve removed your girl friend from our account. Our funding is secure. Our lawyers have been talking to the FDA regulators and FBY and we are making good progress. So, I have been busy while you were mysteriously among the missing.”
I said nothing for a few seconds. “Why should you be concerned about what I was doing when I’m not.” I looked at her unmoved and unnerved. “You’ve got to get out of your panic mode. It doesn’t look good. You could do something really stupid.” She turned red. She knew I was right. I always am.
Instead, she changed the subject. “Your friend is a loose end,” she started. Now I was worried. “We have to do something about it.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean that Sarah Durham is much to smart to have hanging around.” I knew that and the more you tried to squash her, like Izzy already ahs, the more determined she becomes.
“Let me handle her.”
“I already have…and it isn’t working. I’ll take care of her. She is on her way into Boston, just as we suspected she would when we removed her from our account.”
I looked at her emotionless, but heart was racing. “Ok, do it.” Arguing with her was not the solution. I” have work to do”
I returned to my office and dialed Cotter.

Reading between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--The Last Exorcism is a Blair Witch style documentary of an exorcism. In fact its tied to the BWP. And tries to recall memories of the frightening Linda Blair. But it fails to scare in this hand held camera style documentary style movie about a sham southern preacher who laughingly takes on and exorcism project only to find that something real is happening. But, be prepared to laugh.
--Takers is a well cast film about two very slick bank robbers and two dogged detectives. The thieves want one more big heist before they retire. Unfortunately a disgruntled former bank heist mate squeals to cops. The ending’s a very cool surprise you will never guess.
--Piranah 3D. A tremor unleashes giant man-eating fish. You can guess the plot…and the special effects.
