Today's Tids Issue 3,136
Opening Stuff:
Aah, the heart, a
basic necessity of life; it beats, it aches, it swells with love. You eat
tasteless food to pamper it, and over-exert yourself to power it. To some it means courage, and for all with
moonlight in their eyes, it feeds and fulfills the tingles of romance. And you
gotta have it to beat the God damned Ya-Ya-Ya…!
And I’ve got a little
heart for you at the end, just incase you are huffing and puffing though
this morning mess.
My idea for a good
corn salsa is hot, butter-soaked corn over pancakes.
If you are in New Bedford
and see groups of children wandering aimlessly, It means another plane form the
Texas border has just landed. What a chaotic mess.
Have you ever noticed
how nicely the Tids follows that summer doldrums malaise?

If President Obama didn’t
want all of the illegal immigrants, he would have picked up the phone,
dialed several Latin American countries
and told the various Presidents that foreign aid was off until they stopped the
madness.-
The US is looking a
lot like Rhode Island as more and more companies seek out of country
partnerships to inure them from killer taxation and regulation insanity. If the
US is looking like RI, does that mean the Feds are socialists too?
So did you hear that
VA supervisor say that her fellow workers told her she would be shredded
too if she didn’t stop talking about shredded documents? This is bad enough for
the VA, but it also bothers me that it may be an inside look at the way the USA
bureaucrats retain their overstaffed fiefdoms, through threat and intimidation.
I have never seen
much worth eating in Mexican restaurants. Now I just don’t eat it in protest.
BTW, the state of
RI has just been named state with worst roads in the USA, which must be the impetuous
for the progressive side of the political spectrum to propose a scam economy
fixing what never should have happened. What this means to me is that the
Politicians in office here wasted the tax money collected from hard working people
to maintain roads and bridges, probably on progressive boondoggles and a
bloated, expensive government.
Maybe there is hope
for Sunnis and Shiites to come together some day. Apple and IBM just agreed
on a strategy where IBM will sell IPads as part of their big data offerings.
Anything is possible. Actually, this is a huge partnership for both parties and
their users. Maybe that’s why stock price targets are rising.
For Instance, Libs
and conservatives have finally come together agreeing that President Obama is
well past “Hump Day” and half way out into the pasture. Maybe 0-Man could join
Jeets for the rest of his tour. He could throw out first pitches for 75 or so
more games. Oh, maybe throwing is not such a hot idea.
Stupid Fan, Department:
Seriously, I’m psyched that the red Sox are going to once again
fool the experts and overcome their 9 game deficit to win the the AL pennant
and eventually the WS. It ‘s in my heart and I can’t get it out.
Actually Rhode island
and Connecticut are at the top of the national “Worst Roads List” because so
many New Yorkers wearing their Ya-Ya- Ya caps and “Go Jeets, Go” T-Shirts come
here for vacation driving their cars with “I Love NY” stickers on the their
bumpers. Go figure.
I know something must
be going on in the Ukraine. I guess the media got bored. But, digging deeper
than the normal outlets I find that war is on the horizon if Ukraine continues
to dismiss Russia warnings and pushes the activity beyond the border. However,
the Russia stance implying heightened aggression has drawn a response from EU
bankers who are threatening to cut off funds for the big red machine if attacks
are launched against Ukraine. Meanwhile back in the USA, “Kim Kardashian posts throwback
picture of her ‘skinny’ days.” Yikes.
The “Hottest”
restaurants in DC are Del Compo, Rasika West End, Acadiana, Zatinya and
Blue Duck Tavern. “Hottest” means I can’t afford them aftr a family vist to
Judy Garland’s “Red Slippers” unless I’m
carried in in the arms of a lobbyist.
The Answer;
I firmly believe that there are many hospitals that are just
a hair away from the so-called top nationally acclaimed institutions. Anyhow,
we have a new Number One, but a yery
familiar name that has jumped from third
to first this year – Mayo Clinic. It beat out last years #1 and #2,
Massachusetts General and Johns Hopkins. #3 is the Cleveland Clinic followed by
UCLA Medical Center, NY Presbyterian (Columbia/Cornell), Penn Presbyterian
(UPenn, Philly), UCSF (University of California San Francisco) Medical Center, Brigham
& Woman’s (Boston) and number 10 – Northwestern “I left my gallbladder there”
Memorial (Chicago). The next five are U Washington (Seattle, Cedars-Sinai (LA),
U. Pittspurgh Medical, Duke University Hospital and NYU Langone Medical Center.
