What do they really mean; What are they really going to do to us?

Today's Tids Issue 3,199
Opening Stuff:

50,000 citizens of Alicante Spain lined the harbor there to send with rousing cheers the Volvo racing fleet on their way to the most treacherous, around the world sail of all.  Do you think 50,000 will cram Newport’s harbor for the only USA stopover? Let’s hope the USA can rise to the occasion. We have some beautiful people in the local and thriving marine community, and I expect them to start the drumbeat loudly.
 
Back around the time that first Ebola stricken Doctor Kent Brantly came to the US for treatment and CDC Head Tom Frieden said, “No Problem,” --  this Tids countered saying, “how can you trust a guy who just a month or so earlier was telling us how they lost some really dangerous virus samples!” Say what? Beware of people in power who will say anything to  keep their jobs.
 
Question:
What dogs, based on biting and fatality statistics, what are consider the ten most dangerous dog breeds?

Joke of the Day, Department:
At a rally last night, the Mittster told this one: “President Obama walked into a bank to cash a check. The teller asked for ID, but The Prez said he didn’t. The teller said, “I can’t cash the check unless you can prove who you are. “How would I do that?” he asked. She said, “well, the other day Phil Michelson walked in without ID,  so he took a putter and a ball and made 50 foot putts time after time. And, once Andre Agassi came in and without his ID, he had to hit a tennis ball at a small target which he did effectively time after time. So, she said to him, “Is there anything you can do to prove who you are?” “I haven’t got a clue,” He answered. “Would you like that cash in tens, twenties or fifties?” The audience went wild.
 
What a great night for The Voice. It was the so called “Knock out” round that featured several outstanding duets. I thought the opener was excellent with Elyje Rene winning over Maiya Sykes…that is, until I saw James David Carter Versus Craig Wayne Boyd and then Luke Wade beating Griffin. The Sugar Jones- Jean Kelley battle was intense and well done, but the song was grating to me and the two women sounded exactly the same. An unlikeable guy named Taylor Williams beat a woman Amanda Lee Peers who I really liked; who I thought had a powerful voice. I thought she’d be stolen, but alas he lights failed to shine upon her.  BTW, In an informal Internet poll, Voters liked best in order – Luke Wade, James David Carter, Griffin, Craig Wayne Boyd, Elyja Rene, Chris Jamison, Taylor John Williams, Jean Kelley and Sugar Jones, Check out tonight. Even if you are tired of all the singing contests, these duets are always great entertainment.
 
The ever-myopic Dem Spinner, Paul Begalia, is blaming the Ebola problem on George Bush. How small have our politicians and their well funded handlers become? No wonder credibility is a thing of the past.
 
A reader suggested that I might not be so enthused about the faux trawlers described and pictured in yesterday’s Tids if I had also shone the price tags. Yikes.
 
The new restaurants around here  is called Brix, and it is a hip looking place in the Newport Vinvards wine manufacturing building. They built it for youthful noise, and the food by the former owner of my favorite restaurant is very good. There’s only one negative. The wine is underwhelming. Yes, the three wine drinkers at my table had really odd looking expressions after the first sip.
 
When more and more people are routinely buying $2300 hand bags or $353,000 small boatss,then you know that the average consumer is paying way too much for what ever they buy to generate the mass of leftover cash.
 
It kind of shows how feeble even multi billions of fines are to the large banking enterprises like JP Morgan which just turned a $5.57 Billion profit after a $13 Billion fine. There is just so much money flowing through the system, that the big players just pick it off like kids on the flying merry-go-round snatching the gold rings.
 
This painful looking stock downturn may be the result primarily of the news that consumer debt delinquency has hit a major low. The stock market is built upon growth which in America has meant that consumers would be wild and crazy exceeding their ability to pay back money.
 
You need to look no further than Oregon First Lady to be Cylia Hayes to find a great example of the latest irritable USA fad,  saying I’m sorry after the law has been knowingly broken or having purposely  disregarded or circumvented the rights of others. This woman’s third marriage before she was 30 was a paid for operation where she received $5K to marry an Ethiopian to save his Green Card. She was in financial trouble after she and a friend paid $245K for land in which to grow Marijuana. She and her friend skipped payments early on and eventually she moved from Washington state to Oregon where she met hapless Governor candidate John Kitzhaber and hid the facts of her life while seducing him into an engagement proposal. You can’t make this stuff up! People think they can lie there way through anything, and the politicians are showing the way.
 
The Answer:
#10 is that cuddly bag of fur, The Saint Bernard (* fatalities. Next is Great Dane. (Note these first two are both huge and their mere size can be dangerous, causing unintended harm to smaller people.) # 8 is Chow-Chow followed by Doberman Pinscher, Malamute, Wolf Dog Hybrid ( Innately dangerous genes), Husky, German Shepherd 15 fatalities, Rottweiler (39 Fatalities) and of course guess which is number one despite claims by Pit Bull lovers (66 fatalities). Personally, I think they are so mean because they are ugly.
 
Have an absolutely beautiful day!
