Opening Stuff:
I think they should make Native Corn Season a national holiday period, like Christmas. It would be great for songwriters, but hopefully nutirtionists would not get into the act trying to make everything healthy!
America's Got Talent, Department:
I don't usually get into cultural crap this early in the column, but if you weren't pulled apart emotionally watching the singing group American Military Spouses Choir sing "Hero", then you are a stone. Not only moving, but well executed with some excellent talent. In all, there were a lot more better acts this week than last. The Chicago Boyz jumped rope and were energetic and very good. The Kelsey and Baily dog act was pleasant to watch as was The Misty Dancing School, which mesmerized, however in the end is a dancing school recital. Leon and Romy's magic act was also a joy to watch, but not long on Magic.. Deanna Dellacioppa has a nice voice but I was personally disappointed with her version of one of my favorites, "I want to know what Love is". Jonathon Allen has the voice to match the other opera level singers, Forte and Brandon James. Marion Ross's son comedian Jim Meksimen is a very satisfying impressionist with nice stage presence. I hate snakes so I didn't watch snake boy, who was less than great. I really like Kenechi Ebini who is my favorite among all dance acts. Brandon and Savannah, could do well with the youth group, but while talented they are just more of the same ole contemporary mush. I would like to see the Spouses stay for sure. And Ebini. Others who will probably be there are Chicago Boyz, Jonathon Allen, the likable Jim Meksimen and perhaps Misty and Deanna Dellacioppa.
As much as you know I love supporting the PETA dingbats (On a pointed stick), I refuse to ever eat lab grown hamburger. I'm wretching.

The Prez actually said something new yesterday when whe proposed shutting down Fanny and Freddie and going to privately funded mortgages. And of course added in his typical snide manner, "...and I saw signs outside calling me a Socialist." Of coursse, that's what good socialists do, propose a solution that will probably flop at meeting objectives, in this case "preserving the American dream and getting more 'folks' into there own homes. If it mortgages go entirely private, those with marginal finances don't stand a chance, and rates will be higher. By the way, the last time the 0-Man proposed something from this same location it was his plan to help people in foreclosure jeopardy re-order their mortgage terms. Note: New data says that a large percentage of those who refinanced are back into foreclosure-land. Some things just plain don't work in a free enterprise system.
So, did you hear about the guy who awoke, washed in the tub and then died? He worked for bed, Bath, and Beyond. C'mon, are you smilin'?
Don't you think that by allowing the kids to stay with M&D for Health Insurance purposes til they're 26, it enables irresponsibility.
Motorcycle groups do lots of good things for the military and other charities, but they are still loud.
In this morning's paper I read four unrelated stories about Lawyers being convicted of illegal acts. You just have to know that all of the great lawyers around love getting these people off the street. Maybe, like the baseball players, who applaud cheats being gone from their leagues. Maybe the three decade era of enabling and being tittlated over bad behavior is finally winding down. Maybe, innate goodness will will win out after all, and give society a chance.
The local city stencil people
have been going crazy in this town painting mysterious official bike
lanes in the middle of roads everywhere. Basically, from what I have
seen, it is creating yet another irresponsible, entitlement group.
To support ObamaCare, you will see news items about lower healthcare rates in New York and Cal. But the poor folks in lightly regulated states like Indiana, Florida, Ohio and South Carolina could get clobbered. I am really tired of it. So much posturing, so little resolution. And absolutely no understanding.
If you can find a way to get your money in there, you can make over 10% interest in banks in Ukraine, Mongolia, Bangladesh, Viet Nam, Serbia and Argentina. the only iotehr probelm is that tehse high rates are due to runaway inflations and the screw could trun unexpectedly. Whiel getting in is a basic problem, getting out could be impossible.
By the way, I love riding a bicycle, but I will never wear those weird, colorful tight outfits.
I had to smile a bit at the headline" Egypt says "Diplomacy has failed." From what I have been reading, the Egypt Military has been saying "Our way or the highway", and the Brotherhood has been replying, "Are you kidding us?"
If there is one thing for certain on the world diplomatic scen, Moey doesn't buy love.
The Answer:
"Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" explodes like thunder into my head when I see the name BJ Thomas. He also was known for Hooked on a Feeling, I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry, I Just Can't Help Believing, Rock and Roll Lullaby, Hey Won't You Play Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song, Don't Worry Baby and Most of All. Bonus: A Silver Alert is issued when an old person wanders off, often at the result of Alzheimer or dementia. Or, when depressed from writing the Tids. Where am I?
