Cleveland Rocks.

Today's Tids Issue 2,229
Opening Stuff

The Cleveland Browns was the latest NFL team to prove the "On any given Sunday" theory. They were magnificent in every department. Blocking, tackling, QB-ing, receiving and most of all running. What kind of an unstoppable force is that guy Hillis. Their coaches had the Patriots off balance all afternoon. Is this the beginning of a Superbowl run for the wonderful people of Cleveland. Or just a tease ...driven by several coaches wanting to get even with Belicheck.

Well, they ruined my week.

Of course the Tids goes on even under the cloud of deep depression. This just in: "A fly with a broken wing is a walk."

The press loves to point out how Meg Whitman spent !40 Milllion in her Cal race for Gov. What they don't say is that the Public Employee Unions have spent over $300 Million the past several years to keep their bankruptcy inducing gravy train going.

The Question:
With our Muslim raised Prez touring Hindu India, I thought you might like a little poser on that religion. Just so you know what's what. What are the four main dieties of Hindu? What are the essential duties of a good Hindu.

Back to More Stuff:
The media continues to reinforce the idea of the "Bush recession", with inferences to the Tax Cuts and the runaway Wall Street Fat Cats as being the main culprits.. Wall Street's irresponsible packaging of bad loans was certainly a major contributor. But so were the millions of people who took loans which they no ability to pay. And, that is the underlying issue which enabled the greedy on Wall Street to shoot themselves in the head. What is continulaly overlooked is the pressure that was brought to bare upon banks to move to bad loans in the first place. Like Obama the Community Organizer lawyer for Acorn who was involved in suing CitiBank, pressuring them into bad loans. And of course similar action by Andrew Cuomo and the loveable little Teddy Bear - Barney.

My knew favorite singer is the Swedish performer Robyn. Well...I like one of her songs -- something to do with Heart!

Here's a good idea. Keep in your phone people's names you would never call just so you don't mistakenly answer when they do call.

How Newspapers get it wrong department:
A woman who won the RI Treasurer job in the past election got by far the most votes of all candidates for all offices. Of course the democrat driven media immediately declared her the new political phenom and a Pol to be reckoned with in the future. I voted for this dull as dishwater candidate because her Republican opposition was a sleaze-bag, and quite possibly a crook.

And in a headline yesterday, RI Democrat pamphlet (Projo) ran the headline: "Obama to GOP: Extend the Middle Class Tax Cuts." Say what? The GOP never had any intention of canceling middle class cuts. This is clear deception by inference. Journalists don't have to lie to distort!

So, did you hear about the day Leif Ericson came upon the little lemming who was about to jump off a cliff into a river? Leif said "Don't jump little Lemming!" He took the lemming and gave it to his assistant who taught it how to wade across instead of jumping off a cliff. If Leif hands you Lemming, Make Lemmings wade!


The Patriot's loss made me do it!

The Answer:
There are many dieties but ten foru most important are Brahma (The Creator), Vishnu (The Perseerver), Shiva (The destroyer) and Kali/Durga/Parvati (The tri-incarnated Goddess - Death and Destruction, maiden, Mother.) A good Hindu Lives Life according to your Place; Practice and Observe religion; Fundamental: remember that the world is an Illusion -- One must master the the worldly flesh (Control over Body, Cravings and Emotions) to escape and attain spiritual; enlightenment. So, remeber that the next time you enter a convenience store.

The End:
A couple of days ago, I was sitting in the Boston Bus station waiting to pick up a daughter and grandchild. Out of the cornner of my eye, I saw appraoching a Mideastern couple. The man took off his coat and headed off to the men's room. The woman sat next to me. I checked her midsection for suspicious lumps. It's the new world.

The "Mistake on the Lake" is the New England Patriots.

In case you're interested, I think very little of people who use the phrase "Mistake on the Lake". Cleveland is a great city.
