Shuffling Through the Maze.

Today's Tids Issue 2,541
Opening Stuff:

How great would it be if the Social Media Internet sites would block postings that didn't measure up to a certain level of acceptable standards for grammar and spelling. What a benefit would that be for teachers where students learned at least one reason why they should pay attention in class...and maybe learn at least one thing.

The lunacy of the NCAA has reached new heights when you realize that over this past weekend two of the great all-time college basketball rivals Kansas and Missouri may be playing their last game. For money and nothing else they divorced to join leagues in opposite directions. It's unfortunately another sign of a big government reality in America. Why wouldn't it be better to have a lot of 8 team leagues within local regions, where intense, lively rivalries would fill seats, and of course the travel would be much cheaper. I am just a giant fan of regional pride and efficiencies. But then, I believe that all taxes should be paid to cities towns and villages and spread upward to the state then Fed. Sorry Mizzous, Jayhawkers.

The Question:
Dan in Real Life was a nice little romantic comedy Starring Steve Carell and Juliette Binoche. On the marquis and movies posters in the City of lights and love, Paris, the movie was renamed for Paris audiences? What was it?

The Headlines:
--FBI Building Cases Against 120 People For Alleged Illegal Trading.
--It's Michigan Tuesday.
--Sharp Drop In durable Goods Orders Has Stocks Down.
--Israel Will Not alert US Before Attacking Iran.
--Admin Admits Hopes Dashed For Quick Settlement Of Egypt PDG dispute.
--Park Ranger Guarding Arizona's Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument With M14's; Bring your children During Spring Break.
--Second Chardin Ohio Student HS Declared Brain Dead.
--Syrian Troops Pound Opposition Strongholds
Liberals would call illegal trading, "undocumented trading" if the alleged criminals weren't so rich.

There must be some way we can use all of this new technology against the people Department:
Manufacturers apparently have orders for 30,000 drones designed for non-military use. That means: For police use flying around our neighborhoods. We could call it the USVD -- United States Voyeur Department. Or, maybe we could set up a new military academy for the new age. Then we'd have Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Voyeur. You know they are already saying that they would be spying on us. Is that a little like "This is only a temporary tax?" Stick these flying high powered cameras in the air and have a couple thousand Cadets at the US voyeur Academy with joy sticks in there hands, and what do ya think they're going to do? They're going to find cool stuff. Especially on a lonely Saturday night detail. I really hate the thought of drones.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the next generations of grandchildren. The grandparents are are too toned, sinewy, well abb-ed, fit. A tinge of gray on lithe bodies doesn't make the traditional connection. Kids will be shouting "Ouch" as they jump upon these boney bodies. The Tid's Product Development Department sees this and is about to offer a new product to mellow down aging boomer seniors. It's called the "Grandparent "Chub-Up" Kit. It includes such quick fixes, after receiving a call that the tribe is arriving, like your actual skin colored jowl puffer putty, plus easy on, easy off, stomach and thigh padding. If you are looking for that good old twinkle in the eye Grand parent look all of the time, there are options like "Beer Case of the Month" Club and Weekly chits for Dunkin' Donuts Caramel Cream Chocolate Coffee(?). Remember, "Grandparents waddle on Dunkin' "

Too many Americans only understand what feels good rather than exactly what is correct. Unfortunately, following the correct path often requires more responsibility and determination than some are willing to give.

A woman who says you are strong and sturdy is really saying talking to you is like talking to a brick wall.

A man on the street interviewer at the Red Carpet event was asking celebs their opinions on politics for use on Fox News. George Clooney was obviously in disagreement with the FNN, but generously gave the young interviewer time. But, when asked "What do you think of Obama?" Clooney glared, "It's President Obama." "We have to respect the office," he added. This is the same Clooney who said "Bush is just Dim.". "What did Bush do on 911? He ran away and hid." He often used the lone word Bush in framing his liberal opinions of that admin. But, despite his obvious hypocrisy, he was right. It should be President Obama. If we are going to be right about the future of America, we have to protect the integrity of the Office. Rise above the gutter fray.

So, I'm easing back on my Presidential nicknames. From now on it is President Truthless Obama. P.T. Obama. Sounds good. Or, should it be "Trickster."

Rick Santorum sounds good when he talks relaxed, one to one. He doesn't sound so good when he quoted in the press. That said, this campaign is about the economy...if you want to get elected. I personally believe that there is a decline in general morality and civility and it should be a part of a Renew America campaign. But too many people don't want to hear it.

Almost Near: Chapter 63 continues. --Tucker didn't fly to the Philadelphia Airport which would normally serve Dalesford. Instead he went to Lancaster-York, smaller airport, not that far away from the western end of the Main Line.
"This is a funny little place," noted Sheila as they started up Route 30 in their rental Jeep. Tucker wanted a jeep for its off-road capabilities. You never know, he thought. "Hey look, Rebecca! That guy looks old fasjion and he's in a cart pulled by a horse." This finally perked up Rebecca, who still was looking distrustfully at Tucker.
"Hey that's cool," added Tucker, trying to be the friendly, fatherly type.
"Yeah, that's pretty neat," Rebecca agreed.
A few minutes later tucker pulled his car into one of those family style Amish restaurants. Just the kind of tourist trap I hate, he thought, but I want to keep the fun going. "Ever have Shoo-Fly Pie. kids? It's sickeningly sweet, but it's hard to resist."
After a rather pleasant hour, with even Rebecca getting into the fun, Tucker felt good about the rest of his trip. Why don't you guys close your eyes and rest if you want. We'll be their in no time! he picked up his cell phone, swerving to miss a slow moving horse and buggy. He dialed the numebr of Sam's hotel. Hi, I'm a friend of Samantha Wilcox, a guest there. In fact I have her children with me, and just wondered if she was still in her room. Immediately the clerk told him that she had gone out a few minutes ago. She looked worried when she got out of the elevator, but was smiling broadly by the time she saw the Detective Sparrow waiting for her at the front door. "He's a good guy," the clerk offered.
"Well thanks, my man." She is probably on the way to the airport in Philly. I'll just get a room and wait til she returns.

The Answer:
In Paris, "Dan in Real Life" was known as "Love at First sight in Rhode Island" -- "Coup de Foudre A Rhode Island". Believe it. So all of you lovers out there, next year plan spending next February 14th in Newport RI.

Five things P.T. Obama has said or done that will be used against him in the 2012 campaign. 5. Bowing to Foreign Heads of State. 4. "Shovel Ready jobs." 3. I will cut the deficit in half after my first year." 2. "If I don't get the economy turned around in 3 years, I'll be a one term President. "Solindra is the corporation of the future." Of course, and then there is ObamaCare and attempt to attack the Freedom of Religion clause.

Do you think that Israel's new statement saying they will not alert US before attacking Iran means that they don't trust the Admin here? I could understand that.
