There are just too many news people and not enough news.

Today's Tids Issue 3,269
Opening Stuff:

Bad Times can be good  //  Good times can be bad //  But, if you keep on smiling  //  You'll never be sad!
Many artists are good at art. The artists you remember capture the human moment.
In a 60 Minutes interview scheduled for this Sunday, Boehner and McConnell take the air out Obama’s proposals faster than the Pats can deflate a football. And, that is a real story worth the time – America still works and Emperors will be quashed.
8 of the 10 most expensive wines in the world are Burgundy’s.
The ECB Trillion dollar bond buyback program is both stimulating and confusing at the same time. Euro Bonds are soaring and the Euro is falling like the Patriot’s image. The US markets still haven’t determined whether or not it is good or bad. Take a Tums, and wait ’til February.
The Question:
Trader Joes is a grocery shopping phenomenon. What do you think are the five top reasons that people shop there.

The Headlines:
--Euro Stocks Up 2% As QE Keeps Bonds Above Water; China Stocks Strong..
--Saudi King Abdullah Death Could Bring New Uncertainty To Already Tense US Relationship; Changes At Top In Yemen Moves Former US Ally Closer To Iran; Iraq And US Advisor Generals Say They Are Close To Moving Against ISIS In Mosul.
--GE A Big Earnings Winner.
--US Airstrikes Muting ISIS Advances; Killing Leaders.
--Brady, Belichick Know Nothin’; Deflated Balls Diluting Significance Of Real News.
--GOP Base Pressuring Congress To Target ObamaCare.
When the three big Network nightly news programs begin their programs with soft footballs, you know that the USA has totally lost its collective mind. Obama continually skirts the laws of the land in behalf of his agenda, and you hear nary a word. It’s downright weird.
The Media seems to be finally turned off by Sharpton’s antics. There are some indications that they not running to his press conferences.
There are only 336 shopping days ‘til Christmas. Black Friday has been rescheduled for the 28th day of the month that does nothing, August. “Get your Back to School and Christmas shopping all done in one day!”
It is really hard to find a place to buy a good radio.
The reason the Tom Brady news conference about nothing went so long, is because the National Press (CBS, ABC, NBC) have to ask questions twice. Once with camera on them and the second time with the camera in the interviewee. The world isn’t as spontaneous as it appears.
A scenic landscape is a human moment, because that’s what people see.
An NHL player trying to sneak a curved stick into the fray is considered a minor infraction.
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--Everybody thinks Jennifer Aniston should have received at least a mention for Best Actress for her role as a Pill popping, physically and emotionally scarred woman in Cake. It supposed to be a comedy but the humor is very hard to find, except for an occasionally funny one liner from Jennifer. It’s about trying to get a woman out of her funk after her own physical trauma and the suicide death of a friend. That doesn’t seem funny
--In the scary thriller The Boy Next store, Jennifer Lopez makes the ultimate bad date choice when she hooks up with the new neighbor who is a Norman Bates style psycho. Not bad.
--Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltro go very British in this comedy-action movie which is kind of a silly romp with some awful humor and a waste of good talent. Depp plays an art dealer and Gwyneth his wife, who together travel the world with man servant Jock (Last name Stropp – get it, bad humor) with the major problem being Depp’s ogling eyes. It sounds like it sucks.
The Answer:
Personally, I’m not huge devotee of this popular place. I have had some mediocre stuff, but prices are good as is some of their stuff – even meat. I was observing the clientele and their apparent intense love for shopping there. They were not just shopping, they were at Sunday church services. The reasons people hop there: 5. Cultural awareness never tasted so good – Ethnic foods well displayed “So that even ‘backwater hicks’…(Hey wait a minute, the Hicks family is one of my major genealogical lines! Arrogant bastards’ some of these elitist writers.) But I digress. Number 4. Customers are treated like Rock Stars ; all personnel seem extraordinarily friendly and knowledgeable. 3. “Foodie” Virgins are comfortable in a new world of specialty foods that could be intimidating. Everything is well labeled and clearly explained. 2. The food is cheap. While appearing to be a gourmet delight, you won’t need a body guard to protect your wallet here. The prices are really good for a lot of stuff, although coffee is no great deal; or are some cheeses. 1. Two Buck Chuck ($3 Bucks on East Coast) is the best wine buy anywhere. The wines are very good and any you will never find a better price for better than acceptable quality. If you are embarrassed looking smart by saving money, Just pour Chuck into an old Domain Leroy Musigny Grand Cru Bottle…that is, if you can afford the $4,490 bottle in the first place.

The one big thing I miss from the good ole' recession days are the lower priced hotel rooms.
I hope you have a special weekend that is entirely inflated, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
