In the end, the bills will be paid.

Today/s Tids 713 (#2,390)
Opening Stuff:



Who will break first...the Dems or Repubs on the Debt, or the Players or the NFL on the season? I'm going with the Players.

A room upgrade at a hotel is a suite deal!

And then there is the Puppet Senator from RI, Limousine liberal Sheldon Whitehouse, who was just praised by the local newspaper for pressing, "Obama not to capitualte to Republicans deficit-reduction demands." Wouldn't that be like capitulating to Americans who are becoming increasingly scared to death about the growing almost uncontrollable deficit? Isn't this really symptomatic of the entire national problem...Pols going for votes over solutions.

The Question:
Name Harrison Ford's best movies.

America's Got Talent Department:
It's down to 48 and most importantly the bad acts are gone. I can watch again. The first 12 legitimate candidates vied last night. My personal favorites were Squonk Opera, Snap Boogie, Anna Graceman, Dezmond Meeks and Duo Aero. The worst of the night was so-called funny man J. Chris Newberg. Close behind him was the talking parrots (I had trouble taking my eye off the woman's missing tooth.). I enjoyed watching the Funny Little People, but don't know what to do with them. i thought I would like The Fiddleheads, but they didn't live up to my anticipation. Bring on the next 12!

I noticed that Sharon Osbourne's biggest criticism for many candidates was the bad choice of music. This from a woman who married Ozzie Osbourne. Where's my ear muffs!

Say what! The calorie counting, nutrition pie chart Queen had a 1,700 calorie lunch yesterday consisting if a major burger, fries, milkshake and ...diet coke. I say good for her. She's human, and she should be. But what I'm really seeing is that the campaign gurus are saying we need the burger joint vote, and Michelle you are the sacrificial lamb. You gotta figure that she's probably happiest of all.

Does that mean that I don't think vegans are human? Hmmmm.

I see where Glenn Beck got a standing "O" in the Israel Knesset...for telling the truth about the Palestine/Israel predicament. He said what the US main stream media won't, and the Israeli Gov/leaders loved him for it. Unfortunately, in the US he has been ridiculed, chastised and relegated to kookiness by a media that hides the facts. No wonder he's off to Dallas where he will launch his own network GBTV! You have to wonder what Boston's leftish PBS station GBH is thinking about that name.

Boehner makes more sense than any of them, but you'll never hear it reported correctly from the media. Think how much better off our country would be if media actually did it's job without bias for either side. If the people don't know, it isn't going to work.

Have you ever seen a more pretentious crowd than when walking through an all organic food emporium? I always have trouble hiding the burger grease on my shirt.

The way the Media immediately ran to the defense of the burger eating First Lady, you'd have to believe that if she clubbed a baby seal to death, they would rationalize the action as saving the cute pups from a more horendous death as food for polar bears. You know, those fuzzy, adorable coke drinking animals who are stopping the US from becoming Oil independent. Yup, those bears.

Weird News Department:
--As Tablets begin to flush away Microsoft profits, Bill gates has decided to reinvent the toilet! Yup that's his next big project. But, this is could be a huge stepo forward for a healthier Africa where water is unavailable and there is no way to safely remove human waste. It may take Gates billions ot do it, but it could save hundreds of millions lives. --Also in Africa, Kenya specifically, it appears that "stinky socks" could stop maleria! that's gigantic. Apparently health authorities find that srtink socks attract mosquitoes by the droves. They just hang the odoriferous hose by traps and Poof!, no more skeeters. Kenya authorities are reaching out to US teens for donations.

For CSI lovers, forget the great William Peterson and magnificent Laurence Fishburn,. It is now time to cheer for Ted Danson. Wouldn't Norm make a great CSI investigator. The series needs a little comic relief.

I see where the US is worried about the vacuum that will be left after the assassination the Afghan President's brother Ahmed Karsei. Ahmed has been described as a politician know for taking kickback, family ties, violence and disloyalty. Hmmm...sounds like Chicago and New Orleans.

Almost Near: Chapter 28 continues. --"Unfortunately, the best I could do was this picture of Samantha Wilcox from our high school yearbook." Dante held up the eight by ten copy and the camera zoomed in.
Samantha Jergans sat there transfixed. That is a pretty, young girl, she thought. I almost think I know her. The Host and Dante continued talking, but Samantha decided she was tiring of their chitchat and was now changing channels to Fox News.
She felt restless this afternoon and the TV was making her more so, not the relaxation pill it had always been before. She got up, threw the remote on the coffee table and started walking around the house looking for something to do. But her thoughts kept returning to Dante and that girl inthe picture. She went back to the living room, picked up the remote and returned the channel to NEN. She just stood there in the middle of the room, the overhead fan blowing her hair as if on the hill near her tree.
"Thank you Dante Wallowalski! Did I get it right!" The host rose with a bright smile and shook his hand. "That is truly an eerie story. Well maybe eerie is the wrong word. But it moved me in a strange way. Do you have a final word Dante?"
Thanks, Clair. I just want to iterate, if you have information to call me at 983 555 1961." Dante leaned over and kissed the host gently on the cheek as the camera went black and then to a comercial about depression medicines.
Samantha stood their with a faint blush. There was something about that kiss that bothered her.

The Answer:
Ford hit it big in Star Wars. His other big successful series movies were Indiana Jones and as Jack Ryan in the Tom Clancy stories. I particularly liked him in Presumed Innocent, Witness, The Fugitive, Sabrina and The Devil's Own. I think that his next, Cowboys and Aliens, has a chance to be a winner.

What really scares me about our global future is the rapid growth of Nigeria and Ethiopia destined to become two of the worlds most populous countries. Let's just hope that Gates gets those toilets working.
