suggests that instead of waiting for the OBamaCare site to get fixed,
just use the time to enroll in medical school, graduate and then, take
care of yourself.
Gish Jen, a fairly well known novelist living in Cambridge Mass, wrote a piece for the Boston Globe on the post Red Sox Championship celebration. Her column gives us all a pretty good idea why so many of the problems in America are virtually unsolvable. It's not what she wrote that said it, but how she thinks that says it to me. Here we are enjoying sports for what sports is -- a diversion from stress, a trip back to childhood, a journey into fantasyland. Happy tension. Gish Jen, though, hails the victory because the two MVP awards went to foreign born Red Sox. She harkens back 50 or more years to a time when there were no blacks on the team; when somebody arbitrarily decided that Boston was a bad place for blacks. And in a comment about the resurrection of the city along with the team after the bombing, she wonders how we as a community missed the needs of the Tsarnaev Brothers (Marathon Bombers). She only sees the diversity for diversity sake instead of everybody getting along despite who they are; winning being secondary to the needs of two men who would bomb innocent civilians. How can we ever look towards a future when some will never let us grow out of our past; Who won't understand the purity of simple accomplishments.
Some ESPN sports opinionator elitists seemed horrified yesterday to learn that Miami Dolphin hazer Richie Incognito in emails to the depressed Martin, had used profanity. Egads...an NFL player using profanity! Well, I'll be an Motha-F.
You won't be in with the big money crowd until you fork over around a 100 "G's" (Before Obama tax credits) for a Model S Tesla. That will be the prestige seat for the super rich until the company introduces the everyman versions. Then it's \run back to the Lamborghini at zero to sixty in 4 seconds.
The Question:
What are the Ten Worst Charities in the US? (Based on amount of money paid to solicitors) Bonus: What are Rene Zellweger's biggest movies?
The Headlines:
--Political Eyes On Today's NJ, Virginia Voting.
--17 Million Eligible For ObamaCare tax Credits.
--NY Mall Shooter More Interested In Killing Self, Razing Havoc.
--Germany Asks Britain To Explain Report On Their Spying Activities.
--$1.3 Billion Nazi Art Trove Discovered In Filthy Munich Apartment.
--Successful SAC Prosecution May Become New Model For Fed Justice System Investigations.
--Investment Companies May Begin Softening Projections for Christmas Retail Sales.
--Flash: King Tut Killed In Chariot Crash; Science Marches On.
One of the problems for the Virginia Republican candidate in the election today is that the Libertarian candidate tapping into Republican dissatisfaction is syphoning off 6-7% of the vote. Now we learn that major funding for that third party is coming from Obama supporters in Texas! Nothing in politics is what it seems. Note: Some were skeptical of the Virginia self-proclaimed Libertarian, Robert sarvis, when it was learned that he is in favor of the government placing tracking devices on cars to trace movement and facillitate the collection of driving taxes. Actually, he sounds like an Obama Libertarian.
The Voice is back live and it's time for this Entertainment Department at The Tids to get rolling. Frankly, I am not as enthused as I was last year. Maybe I have just seen too many singing contests and everything, every performer is starting to blend together. It could be that I haven't been excited about the song selection, at least last night. Last night we saw the Blake-Levine teams in action. For beginners, I like a lot Jason Wolpert and his guitar. My biggest surprise was Gray Paramore who I thought was pretty great in the prelims but was totally uninspiring last night. Ray Boudreaux got better and better as he sang "Home". I'm not sure Will Champlain was that great, but he worked hard and has talent. Tessane Chin was the night's highlight and the big crowd favorite. . Shelbie Z would have done better with a better song. I'm not a big fan of Preston Pohl, but he did well. Cole Vosbury and Austin Jenckes look like twins, and I was expecting more form them. I liked the Robin Thicke tune "Blurred Lines but the singer Nic Hawk is a lightweight. So, going home for sure are Nik Hawk and Grey Paramore and possibly Shelbie Z (Because of that name), Austin Jenckes and Cole Vosbury.
I have to think that the problem with today's TV advertising is that too many of this generation's ad creators were brought up watching Disney Channel.
Finally, we learn why the NSA tapped into Germany's Merkel. Obama wants to learn how to run an economy.
I had to walk up to City Hall yesterday. Upon entering, I noticed a line of 5-6 homeless people waiting to collect something free. i must not have looked quite as bad them, because another woman looked up and said, "May I help you?" I looked over at the line of eager chortlers, and said in a firm voice, "I'm here to pay my taxes!" The laughter stopped.
Frankly, average hazing never bothered me. But, Richie Incognito is the exemplification of insecure jerk.
Personally, I think surround-sound is overrated.
If you want to get people to pay more for average coffee, put it in a cute little bag with a cool logo, instead of a can.
The Answer:
The worst is Kids Wish Network. The rest of the high expense charities are Cancer Fund of America, Children Wish Foundation International, American Breast Cancer Foundation, Firefighters Charitable Foundation, Breast Cancer relief Foundation, International Union Of Police Associations (AFL/CIO), National Veterans Service Fund, American Association of State Troopers, Children''s cancer Fund of Amer and, low and behold, Children's Cancer recovery Foundations. Get the picture -- children, cancer, first responders. Bonus: Reneee Zellweger was first noticed by me in Jerry McGuire. She continued her rise with Bridget Jones Diary. Other notables are Chicago, Cinderella Man, Me, Myself & Irene, Deciever, Cold Mountain, Leatherheads, Nurse Betty and White Oleander.
So...this guy goes to heaven and meets Saint Peter at the gate. After answering some questions he notices clocks as far as the eyes could see. "What are those for", he asks his now new friend Pete. "Oh, everybody on earth has a clock. They monitor lies. For each lie the hand moves one second, See, up there is Mother Teresa. Her clock hands have never moved. And then there is Abe Lincoln who's clocks hand has moved just twice." The guy scratched his head. "But, I don't see President Obama's. "Yes, the president, Peter started, Jesus put that one in his office for a ceiling fan."
