Tid's Alert: Donald Trump wants to see bin Laden's Death Certificate.
Numbers savvy Democrat RI Treasurer Gina Raimondo said in a speech to business people yesterday: "If you remember one thing from me this afternoon, remember this. Fixing the state pension system is not an issue, it is the issue. Our state retirement debt is an anchor holding holding our state back and preventing our growth into the future." If we can allow the facts to drive the discussion for a couple of years we the country will be a better place...again.
A Napa Valley Day Care Center is called a whinery.
Bush refused the Prez invite to join him at the 911 Site Thursday, but thanked 0-Man for it saying it his policy to stay out of the political spotlight. Or, maybe it is because for 2+ years 0-Man has blamed Bush for everything wrong with the country from the economy to Harry Reid's lack of a brain.
The Question: A good movie question always has a chance to be a winner in the hearts of Tidsters. This about Romantic Movies where the beautiful love story ends tragically. Name what you think may be these the top ten sad ending stories.

Back to More Stuff:
Everything I read about the NFL contract problem seems to revolve around the appeals regarding the lockout decision. Hey, nice little legal puzzle for lawyers, but does nothing to move forward an agreement for a contract. It gives cause for back patting by Union and Management groups, but furthers nothing that may give us a decent football season. Because after all of this legal dust settles they still have to sit down and put together a contract that is good for both sides and doesn't ruin a good formula for a great sports league
Obama is going to Ground Zero. Yet he never visited on the occasion of any of the anniversaries of that dreadful date. He alienated families of the murdered by giving support to the Mosque around the corner. I believe that the people should always come together under the President. Any president. The country just has a chance of working better that way. But, when they are in high political campaign mode, it is just hard to become comfortable about what they are saying.
Almost Near: Chapter 18 continues. --"You are one of the most spectacular woman I have ever met'" Dante, stepped aside and pulled open the door to the lobby of her motel. "Seriously," he went on. He caught up after letting the door swing shut and turned to look at her, not completely as a man in love but as a person respecting another. "Why didn't I ever know you in High school? Who did you date anyway?"
Samantha smiled and nodded at the compliment, and then took in a deep breath. Questions, questions she thought. Stop staring at me she silently warned with her eyes. Her eyes that had lost their glow became forbidding. She noticed Dante's eyes shift away towards the coffee urn on the side table near the front desk. "I think I was too young for you!" She tried to laugh pleasantly to make him feel at ease. As much as she feared getting close to him, she needed him now.
"I kind of remember you. I guess I was too old." Again he turned towards her.
How did you remember me, Dante?, she thought. What was I like?
They sat and had a cup of coffee and made plans for the morning at the police station. After about a half hour, Samantha yawned, looked at her watch , "We've both had long tiring days." He agreed and they rose and walked towards the elevator.
The bell rang announcing the third floor, Samantha's floor. She waited for the door, and as she turned to say "Good Night" to Dante he leaned over and kissed her gently on the cheek. She pulled back quickly and shoved him away with both hands. Dante stumble slightly but his head hit the wall forcing him to one knee. He stayed head bowed for a few seconds, and then while rising his head and un-clinching his eyes, "Wow, you are tough! I'm glad we didn't date in high school." and he laughed as he looked up. But she was gone.
Michelle Obama has created a new group for general discrimination -- the Overweight! The health nut bigots love to sneer down with disdain to their lessor larger. Give people a reason to hate and they will. Sme people just need an underclass to survive in their own narrow minds.
There are too many people who when saying they do morning crunches for their stomach mean they're eating potato chips for breakfast.
Speaking of breakfast, the Food KGB now want to take the fun out of a good old fashioned May breakfasts, particularly delightful annual occasions arond here in RI. One of these haughty nags took the time to add up all of the calories (And the Newspaper co-conspirator gave the column featured space). the writer suggests revisiting the thought to have breakfast fun some Sunday morning. Stupid I say. But here's the real crock in her convoluted reasoning. She warns that your breakfast will add 1,500 calories from eating a stack of buttered syrupy pancakes, several Johnnycakes, scrambled eggs, Bacon, Muffins, white toast Orange juice and coffee. Talk about maliciously stacking the deck. You can't trust these people.
Signs of the Times Department:
The United States Army is testing "Green" ammunition! There is no truth to the rumor that "Green" means that each shell contains vegetable seeds, pretested in Michelle's garden.
In my continuing effort to call out little government actions that morph into new intrusions on a free and unencumbered life, I'm not going to call out the RI Senator who has already introduced 73 bills at the State House. No, this is about the Fed's latest assault on Advertising. It's the Guidelines for advertising to children. In the Fed statement it says "We will let you market...". Let me repeat that, "We will let you market only foods that have significant amounts of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat milk products, fish, extra lean meat, eggs, nuts,seeds or beans." How is a kid ever going to develop a good, comforting diet of Cheetos? Huh? Tell me that.
The Answer:
We start at #10 with The Notebook. Then we have Donnie Darko, Atonement, Titanic, Badlands, Romeo & Juliette, Bonnie & Clyde, Vertigo and Casablanca. And the Number one Romantic Movie with the sad ending is -- Gone with the Wind. "Frankly, I don't give a damn. I just needed a Question.
The End:
The Dem spinners are just going crazy over glamorizing the Obama involvement in the Osama death. Hey Politicos, I think Americans gets it. The more you tout the more your guy starts to look political. He did fine being presidential. And I know most regular Americans appreciate it.
The average of 7 major Polls taken during 4/30 and 5/3 has the Prez at 5o.6% and 43.4% disapprove. The NYT's/CBS and WashPost polls have him way up 57%/37% and 56%/38% respectively. Probably not a good time for Repubs to announce.
