Another opening, another show.



Today's Tids Issue 2,714
Opening Stuff:
 
Is there a bigger obstacle to cooperation in Washington than Harry Reid? I don't think so.

Some day's you're feelin blue. That the USA is a turkey that's about to fold. But there's no country that I'd rather know. So let's get together and re-produce that show. Cause we got the people with hearts of gold.

So, did you hear about the guy who had his charges reduced from Music Piracy to Breaking into song? "There's no business like show business, like no business I know..." Your hum of the day from the musicology Department of the Tids Corporation.

The Question:
Double Bonus Day: 1. 13 Professional Sports Teams Seem to be running out of fans. High tcket prices coupled with bad teams have the folks preferring couches at home. Name the ten worst in attendance. Hint: Ay #13, Miami Dolphins is the only NFL Team on the list. 2. Name 5 great companies where everybody wants to work.

The Headlines:
--Cost Of Sandy Continues To Grow.
--Home Prices Rise For 6th Straight Month.
--Obama Ducks Congress, Goes To Peeps To Solve Cliff Issue.
--Angus Jones, The "1/2" Of 2 1/2 Men, Says People Should Stop Watching Show's "Filth".
--Cyber Monday Sales Soar; Economists Still Worry About Slower sales For Rest of Season.
--Planned Business Spending Guage Up Strong In October; Continuing Declines Of Shipments Underscore Fears Of Tighter Fiscal Policy For 2013.
--Syria Air raids Increase To Stem Advance Of Rebel Tide.
--Mexican Beauty Queen Traveling With Drug Cartel Killed In Shootout With Police.

Last Friday I quoted from a writer's letter to the Literary Editor of the NY Times thanking her lucky rabbits foot (What else would she have) for being raised by secularists. In the kind of haughty sounding letter you would expect from the intellectual side of the human equation, Anne Lamott claimed that she was happy she could go to her bookshelves like other kids went to Jesus...and that had made her in to a better writer. I was just reminded that many of the other great writers acclaimed by academia were on drugs and alcohol. Let's see. atheists and addicts! I wonder what what they are really putting into our brains!

The out of work limbo dancer was an underachiever.

For the last several days I have been receiving emails like "Get ready for the great Cyber Monday deals." So I opened an email from Amazon and low and behold on the first page was a sweat shirt exactly like the one I had bought at the Orvis store in VT last summer. I paid $79. The CyMon special deal was... $79. So, I went to the Orvis site and found my sweat shirt again -- for $79. I think I'll wait til 3 days before Christmas to shop.

Laws seem to remove the intelligence component from living.

Bookies should return the money bet on the Houston-Detroit T-Day game...and bill the NFL.

A game in Washington that could be come a bigger hit than a pinata, is assessing blame for congressional stalemates.

I always wondered how the raunchy jokes and the antics of Charlie Sheen would affect the 10 year old boy Angus Jones. So, now I guess we know. He probably really didn't know what they were talking about at first, And then like most adolescent boys he became intrigued and thought it kinda cool. And now, I guess he figured he really didn't think is was right at all.

"...Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow. Nowhere could you get that happy feeling, when you are stealing that extra bow..."

The Tea Party was and is a great idea. A must idea, that has to be revitalized and this time teach the people who don't know; All those new Americans who have never tromped upon the USA Stage as we have. Let's get on with the show.

Instead of banning grapefruit juice, Docs should under-prescribe the potency of doses. The way I read it, grapefruit juice makes drugs more efficient.

The Answer:
1. #13 is Miami. Next is the Milwaukee Bucks (NBA), Washington Wizards (NBA), Columbus Blue Jackets (NHL), Baltimore Orioles (MLB), New York Mets (MLB), Detroit Pistons (NBA), Oakland A's (MLB), Dallas Stars (NHL), Arizona Diamondbacks (MLB), Houston Astros (MLB), Cleveland Indians MLB and Seattle Mariners (MLB). 2. Because it';s the happy season I'll give oyu the top 13 top places in which to work. !3 is BMW followed by L'Orial. The rest in descending order are Apple, Goldman-Sachs, Coca-Cola, JP Morgan, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, Microsoft, P&G, KPMG and numero uno -- Google. Resumes?

"...There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low. Even with a turkey that you know will fold, you may be stranded out in the cold. Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold. Let's go on with the show." http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kdggcQhysQ

There's no people like USA people.
