Today's Tids Issue 3008
Opening Stuff:
Last night our Governor unloaded a list of expenditures, loaded with convoluted reason contrived from faulty premises. And the crowd went wild! State of the States and States of the Union are no long reports, audits, justification of actions and expenditures to the tax payer, but warnings about how we will be suckered for another year.
Collateral Damage, Department:
I usually do more reading in Winter because the light bulb keeps me warm. What?...They're not making incandescent's any more! There goes the national literacy ranking.
I'm a big fan of Camille Saint-Saens, and his Piano Concerto #1 is one of the best...to me.

The Question:
Who was the first woman to wear short-shorts on TV? Bonus: What
was the larest dinner ever held at the White House? Who's idea was it?
Who was the Master of Ceremonies?. Who was a lead speaker?
The Headlines:
--Bi-Partisan Senate Intelligence Committee Report Headed By Says Admin and Hillary's Department Could Have Avoided Attack On Benghazi.
--Egypt Voters Back New Charter; Islamist Lay In Background Unimpressed.
--Apple To Pay $34 Million to Parents Of Children Who Downloaded Apps Without consent.
--Wind Power Subsidies Ended; Renewal Low On Senate Priority List.
--Extreme heat In Australia Halts tennis Open.
--Three Dead In Indiana Supermarket Shooting.
--Congress Sends Sweeping defense Bill To Obama.
--Internal Syria Opposition Group Rejects Geneva 2 talks.
You know I kid around a lot about vegetables. I really don't like them very much, except corn on the cob, but I eat them because they tell me its good for me. So basically I have a list that's acceptable and I eat them regularly. And I scoff at those who say, "But I can really make them taste good," unless of course they are talking about bathing them in pork gravy.
Oh...I get it. In Hollywood, 50 "F-Bombs" in 3 hours is considered a laugh riot comedy.
I expect quite shortly to be hearing serious complaints of second hand smoke in Colorado...that is if they have the energy to get out of bed and to a phone.
Rhode Island boasts yesterday that the state program had beaten its objectives for ObamaCare sign-ups. An unbalanced proportion of them were for medicaid. Oops!
Leslie Vonn was operated on again for her second knee injury. She has a great heart and enormous desire, but having skiied a bit, I don't see repaired knees being able to withstand the continued punishment upon them. I applaud her courage, but I fear it is just one of those inevitability things.
The headlines roar, "American Hustle, Gravity Lead Oscar Nominations". Lead? I didn't rmember that they rated nominations. Oh, well that's just FantansyWorld California, USA, for ya. The rest of the best flick picks are Captain Phillips, Nebraska, Dallas Buyers Club, Her, Philomena, Wolf of Wall Street and 12 Years a Slave. Best Actor nominees are Chiwetel Ejiofor, Matthew McConaughey, Christian Bale, Bruce Dern and Leonard DeCaprio. For women, Streep gets her 18th nomination and goes against, Cate Blanchette, Sandra Bullock, Judy Dench and Amy Adams. Supporting Actors are Barkhad Abdi, Bradly Cooper, Michael Fassbender, Jonah Hill and Jared Leto. Supporting Actresses are Sally Hawkins, Jennifer Lawrence, Lupita Nyong'o, Julia Roberts and June Squibb.
"I like Ike." "I Like Oby" There seems to be something missing, doesn't there? Yet yesterday in a speech about the NSA the President evoked the warning by the lovable Eisenhower of the fifties who said in 1961. "In the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarrented influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disasterous rise of misplaced power esists and will persist." Citizens should always be wary of potential power grabs by government officials whether on the international or -- domestic side...like the HHS-Social Services Industry Complex.
Oh, the Admin wants us to believe they didn't plan yesterday's O-Soeech on the anniversary of Ikes. It was just a coincidence they say! How can you believe that place.
The Conscience: Chapter 33 continues.
The boys had seen plenty of death in1950's Alabama, but the eyes of this white girl, laying there, caked with blood got to them. Nobody spoke for what seemd like minutes, but after about ten seconds Joey, always the leader, urged, "We've got to get out of here!" he looked around, and the four of them froze as they saw a flashlight flickering around their pick-up. They dropped to the ground in unison. The light flashed over their heads. James rose up, knowing that without eyes they could stay there forever, wondering. He could see a man, maybe a cop, with a pad writing something, then returning to his car, yelling something to another inside, getting in and speeding off. They know it's Leroy's truck.
"They're gone." the other boys rose, and quickly got to work picking up and carrying the limp body to the truck. Jimmy talked to them all the way, warning Leroy bout being careful. The jostling must have done something, because they neared the truck they thought they heard something from the dead women, which clearly spooked them. They dropped her on a blanket in the back bed and ran and dove into the front seat.
James, the little kid, had to e=rdie in back with the dead girl. jumped into the back with the dead girl, who now maybe not so dead after all, he thought. He positioned himself in the far corner of the bed away from the body, and just stared, hoping his eyes could ward off evil.
The car was barrelling diwn the highway, and all James could think of was that the police car hiding in the bushes,, waiting for them, ready to pounce to give them a speeding ticket, which could mean hanging for them all. He put both hands up to his neck
I think that The Revolutionary War and it's causes should be required as a central learning experience for all students beginning around the fourth grade. They should know why the first ancestors of the country originally braved the rough passage, and continually immigrants fled here Legally) to the freedom opportunities shores.
The Answer:
Maryanne on Giligan's Island was the first to wear short-shorts on TV. And you thought that men watched it because of the intellectual content and the Professor! Bonus: In 1973 Richard Nixon had a dinner at the White House for the over 500 POW's his ending of the war had released from Viet Nam Prisons. As you can imagine it was a joyous affair, with the President lauding the men who sat among some of the greatest celbs of the day. The idea was Sammy Davis Junior's who proposed it to Nixon. The MC was Bob Hope and the lead speaker was John Wayne. One of the higlights of the dinner was a hymn sang by a chorus of POW's. The hymn was written by one of them on a roll of toilet paper. They sang it during their captiviity as they continually underwent torture.
When you think about what men and women have gone through since the first shots behind stone fences to create a new kind of nation, to keep this nation safe and free, a tear trickles down the eye when you see it polluted by socialist movements.
