Today's Tids Issue 2,931
Opening Stuff:
This "will she/won't she" drama the Hillary campaign has devised is doing it's job, getting people thirsting for her entry into the Prez race while she is saying nothing definitive or making any decisions that can come back to haunt. A politicians dream. News people interviewing Hill or the philandering hubby are practically giddy, red faced with grins from ear to ear, primed to miss obvious stories against her and pump up her SoS scorecard, ready to anoint the smartest person in the world as the first female president. I think woman can do better than that. For starters, how about honesty?
Israel says to the US: Not so fast! New President Rhouhani may appear soft, compromising and compliant, but he is still the puppet of the Ayatollah Khoumeini. Iran's economy is sucking and the biggest problem is getting out the oil, now banned by US and UN efforts.

The Question:
A
columnist this morning noted that there were few women playing in
organized inter-high school sports when the 1967 "Impossible Dream" Red
Sox won the AL Pennant. What are the ten lead HS girls sports by number
of participants?
The Headlines:
--President O Speaks at UN; Too Complicated To Bring Iran And US Presidents Together.
--Stocks Down For Fourth Day; Government Shutdown, Wary Investors And Lower Confidence Level Index Chief worries.
--Kenya Mall Standoff Ends.
--Aging Hippies In Graying Pigtails Weeping At End Of VW Bus Run.
--Waterfront Homeowners Await Dramatic Jump In Flood Insurance Premiums.
--NCAA To Restore Football Scholarships To Penn State.
The so-called "Best New Drama of the Year" -- Blacklist -- premiered last night. It's not, and if it is, we're doomed. I would give it a "B-". A good drama has to have some degree of plausibility. They use too many visual gimmicks like the giant rolling cell strong enough for King Kong. And this one shifts from scene to scene laving too many questions unanswered. I guess it's a take-off on Silence of the Lambs, but Spader doesn't sauté people in white wine, he drinks wine at Gov expense. Female lead Megan Boone is a little too slick, too hyper, too chic NYC...a comic strip person. But there was an interesting end of show discovery.
When you really think about it, we haven't had health Insurance for decades. Basically what we have been enjoying is pre-paid medical expenses. And, that is the reason why health care has become so expensive, a continuously growing potful of money with no competitive balancing or consumer discernment. "Insurance: A practice by which an entity provides a guarantee of compensation for specified loss, damage, illness or death in return for a payment or premium; Providing protection for some eventuality." All other insurance but Heath Insurance meets these criteria. It would if people paid their way for regular life health expenses and had insurance to protect there bank accounts from catastrophes. I could go on and on this one. But, after all, this is only a Tid, not an Op-Ed column.

I hear the NFL Office is revising the injury status designation. To current designations -- Probable, Questionable, Doubtful, Inactive, Out, Injured Reserve and PUP, they are adding IR and IJ -- In Rehab and In Jail.
Did you know that Khomani is the name of a dried fruit? It's basically an apricot, a disgusting little piece of pulp which tends initiate a gag reaction when near my mouth. I'm thinking that Israel is experiencing a similar reaction.
I want to be like dad when I grow up, Department:
You might not want to look in the mirror if you were a member of the Brooks Family, in particular the Joseph Brooks family. Joseph Brooks wrote the uplifting, love life song "You Light up my Life". Think of the trillions of smiles he has produced over the years. Then think of the son Joe Brooks produced, Nickolas Brooks, who was just sentenced for strangling to death his NYC fashion designer girlfriend because she was going to dump him. Talk about entitled kids from lax parenting. It must be pretty sad for the bright and sunny songwriter, Joe, who is sitting in jail waiting for his own trial -- accused of raping and molesting 13 actresses! Does that song carry a different tune for you now? What's Debbie Boone going to do?
A piece of political humor arrived in my inbox a day or two ago. It showed a picture of Hillary Clinton dressed in white looking like a pure unadulterated angel with chubby cheeks, standing proudly wearing the 2013 "Liberty Medal" which she had just received. In the caption beneath it read: "Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty were not in attendance."
Nixon had his tapes and Obama has his open Mike. As you all remember, The Prez told Russia's President at the time to remind Putin that he would do anything he wants after election to the second Turn. Yesterday at the UN, Obama said that Michelle is the real boss in The White House. Does that mean he is trying to set her up for the fall over a disastrous ObamaCare, a sluggish economy, Syria missteps and inaction in Benghazi.
Sometimes I get the feeling that these Hillary/Bill scenarios over the years are written by the Saturday Night Live Staff.
The Answer:
The last official tally showed 3.2 Million girls in HS sports compared to the 4.5 Million boys (Note: Larger squads for football). The top sports for Girls based on participation are 1. Track and Field followed by basketball, volleyball, Softball, Soccer, Cross Country, Tennis, Swimming/Diving, Competitive Cheerleading and Lacrosse (The fastest growing sport.) In the east, Ice and Field Hockey are major popular sports.
Roses are red.
Mums are yellow.
If I don't get out these Tids,
I'll be an embarrassed fellow!
