Opening Stuff:
Super Bowl Notes, Department:
--Aren’t you glad you’ll be
sitting inside on a comfortable couch watching the Super Bowl this weekend? I
haven’t noticed as many people boasting that they have tickets for the game, or
that they’ll be flying down for the festivities. --The latest reports out of NY
PR operatives is that it will be moderately balmy in the NY Metro Sunday, that
is, until around 5:00 PM when the temps will be down around 30. --I’m still
picking Seattle, mainly because I like Pete Carroll, and to rebuke New England sports
experts who ridiculed him during his Pat’s tenure for being happy during games.
I like happy. –If you can’t wear shorts in February, it’s not really a Super
Bowl.
Holder called for the Death Penalty and surprised all. What he did
though, is put the death penalty on trial for all to see and ponder. In fact Public
Defended Dzhokhar Tsarnaev also has a renowned Death Penalty specialist lawyer
Judy Clarke of San Diego on his taxpayer funded “Team”. Not only that, but this
destitute defendant has a Legal Team featuring Miriam Conrad, defender of
Richard Ried. So, the question is, did Holder authorize the pursuit of the
death penalty with hopes that we would fry a man who murdered and maimed hundreds,
or to expose a negative side of the much debated punishment through the poetic
words of nationally known DP critics for all to see, with the hopes of getting
it before the SC? Sorry for being so conspiratorial, but when Holder is
involved you just never know the truth.
If the human is purported to be 98% water, then I guess the only
difference between me and a snowman is a carrot.
Sign language is generally pretty handy.
The Question:
Name five types of things you
should always buy at a Dollar store? Five that you should never buy I the cheap
place.

I think it’s about time that the Tids Entertainment Editor starts
waking up to the 2014 American Idol. So far that judges Panel of Jennifer
Lopez, Kieth Urban and Harry Connick Jr. looks remarkably sane and are quite knowledgeable.
So, if they find the talent, it could be a good year for the oldest of singing
contests.
So far. Rory McElroy looks like he may be coming back.
Some lunkhead Pols in Atlanta want to sue the weatherman because people
got stuck in two inches of snow due to a highly publicized cold wave with
precipitation. Get over it. Weather happens. 90% of lawsuits should be banned
anyhow. The government flooded the streets with all of the school buses and government
employees at exactly the same second. They should sue themselves.
Bounty hunters are not looking for paper towels.
Fox Bows To Corporate Pressure, Department:
The Fox Network has banned a Soda
Stream commercial featuring Scarlet Johansson for what it seems to be the mentioning
in negative terms Coke and Pepsi. Observers say it is because Pepsi, and Coke
to a lesser extent, are huge supporters of the Super Bowl. Has the NFL
dictatorship gotten out of control? The last I heard, talking about your
competitors is fair game in the free enterprise system.
A movie critic describes the new American comedy genre as “Rude,
Nude and Crude”. What more can I say!
Amanda Knox is guilty again. This is the most confusing of stories.
It is certainly possible that she as a young person got caught up in something beyond
her maturity which rampaged out of control. She looks pure and naive, but rationality
is subject to change under the influence for even the best of people. She
evokes plenty of sympathy, but nobody really seems to know the whole story. It
is nice to presume innocence, but she has been found guilty three out of four
times. I just don’t know.
Hags walking the beach are sand witches!
Talk about weird, Mayor Ford of Toronto, who’s worldwide claim to
fame is for being an uncontrollable jerk, was the first out of the pack of
celebrity fawners to make excuses for the spoiled and irresponsible Justin
Bieber. The losers will always enable their own.
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--Reclusive Mother and 13 yo Son on
shopping trip are confronted in store by intimidating escaped convict who
forces them to take him to their home over Labor Day weekend, This movie could
be both tedious, and heartening to watch. Mom is drab with problems, and the kid
is just a great kid, and both fall in love with the injured criminal. Critics
like it, but there may be too much psychological chit-chat for me. I can see my
eyes closing an head nodding.
--The Awkward Moment is another
in the long line of new style American comedies, where anything goes and where
the F-Bombs get the laughs. It is a look into teen dating and asks the question
“Where is this going.” So it has it’s moments of enlightenment but still resorts
to lewdity for levity.
The Answer:
Things to buy at dollar type
stores: Seasonal Decorations, Gift Wraps, Greeting Cards, Plastic Food Containers,
Cleaning Supplies, Personal Grooming (Hair Brushes, Toothbrushes), Picture Frames,
Scented Candles, Shampoo and Party Supplies. You should not buy: Anti-Aging
Creams, Batteries, Canned Goods, Chewing Gum, Electronics, Foil and Plastic
Wrap, Knives, Paper Goods (Napkins, Paper Towels), Soda, Tools, Toys and Vitamins.
The main reasons for the “do not buy” are two-fold: 1. The quality is inferior –
i.e., Paper goods, tools, foils, batteries, 2. The prices are better at
supermarkets and Big Box retailers: - i.e., Canned goods, Soda. I like reading gasses
from Dollar stores, although they do break faster than cheapies from Costco, BJ’s
type places.
There’s no truth to the rumor that before he became a star,
William DeFoe’s name was William DeFriend. Audiences love the angry man.
The lizard wanted to make love, but he had reptile dysfunction.
With humor like this your weekend can only go up!
Have a great one, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
