I'm late, I'm late for a very important date.

Today's Tids Issue 2,511
Opening Stuff:

Just when you think you're having a good day, Zappo's gets hacked. Does anybody ever remember the Sears-Roebuck catalog getting hacked? I don't think so.

I think Romney is leading the way now purely on potential electability in the Fall.

The Question:
Bonus Day: 1. The fans have spoken -- Which match up do you think America wants to see in the Superbowl -- Balt/SF, NE/SF, NY/NE or Balt/NY? 2. Name the five top all time NCAA Basketball points scored.

The Headlines:
--China Economy Growing Better Than Analysts Predictions; World Markets Strong; Dow Up 140 At 11:00AM..
--GOP Debate Better Than Average; Romney May Release Tax Returns By April.
--CitiBank Profit falls 11%.
--Wikipedia To go Black In Protest Of Congress Bills That Will Attempt To Regulate Web Site Activities; Big Boys Google, Facebook et.al. Agree With W, But Will Operate.
--Denver Says Tebow Will be #1 QB In Training camp.

The SuperPac idea may have been a good one if all of that money was used for truthful education instead of lies and spewing seeds of hate and division.

You get a sense of how fragile the world economy must be when the market drops significantly on fears of the high costs of suits from one cruise-liner mishap

I thought last night that Santorum looked pretty strong; Newt knows how to get to the belly of the voting beast; Paul is compelling, funny and a bit loony at the same time; Perry was better than he was in the beginning, but it's too late; Romney was playing the game of trying to avoid being caught. I didn't think it was a good night for Romney, and in no special order, the audience liked Newt, Paul and Santorum best.

Before TV the big event for kids growing up was getting ice cream after a tonsillectomy.

To be honest with you, I never really understood Alice in Wonderland.

"Alcatraz" premiered last night, and while it was well produced, it is a bit of a stretch and other than the intrigue of watching a killers plot their specialties, mainly another police drama. A kinda weird one.

Everybody loves Downton Abbey.

Republicans are conceding a Romeny nomination because they feel it is inevitable and they just want the agony to end.

You have to figure that the NFL league office is torn between having a San Francisco-Baltimore Super Bowl with two telegenic brothers facing each other. Or, a rematch of the New England/Giants thriller of 3 SB's ago. But, it's a happy problem. A Niners/Pats match could be the Leftist Bowl, Ninth Circuit Court Versus Ted Kennedy.

Voter ID is really about regaining a tinge of honesty in a political world that has lost its direction. Yet it has become another of those bogus racist arguments, leading me to believe that instead of capitalizing on progress, black leaders want to keep the divide alive so they will remain important.

The Answer:
1. Pete Maravich is the all time scoring leader with 3,667. The next nine are Freeman Williams, Lionel Simmons, Alphonso Ford, Harry Kelly, Keydren Clark, Hersey Hawkins, Oscar Robinson, Danny Manning, Alfrederick Hughes, Elvin Hayes, Tyler Hansbrough and Larry Bird. Note that most of these top scorers were before the 3-Point rule and when freshman couldn't play. Of course they were around before kids left college after one year. Whatever happened to Bevo Francis? 2. A New York-Patriots (37%) game gets the nod from the nations fans just ahead of Pats-Niners (35%). Niners-Balt is next with19% with NY/Balt at 9%.

Sorry for the thinning Tids today, and the speedy good-bye, but life is pressing and I must raise to the challenge.

If there were no problems in the world we wouldn't need leaders.
