Today's Tids Issue 3,446
Opening Stuff:
The
Repubs right now are like the driver who sails
through an intersection having the green light, but is oblivious to the action of
vehicles in the crossing street. Out if nowhere comes a car not seeing the red light,
crushing him broadside. As the driver is hauled away on a stretcher, he is
heard saying, “But, I was right”. The Repubs will have trouble getting through
the intersection perhaps with leading candidates like Carson and Trump who can
thrill but cannot beat the Shrill Hill (Or, perhaps the National Plagiarist
Laureate). The two may be right for certain factions of the party for various
reasons, but their appeal seems too niched to be electable by masses. I believe
the Repubs are right on just about everything, but it really doesn’t matter if
you’re left sitting on the sidelines after losing to a Dem candidate who will
say anything to get elected. This is not about being logical, it’s just
politics. We are right, but we’re on life support.
In
1814, London Englander’s must have thought they had died
and gone to heaven when vats at a large brewery burst sending 320,000 gallons of
beer cascading down the streets…killing nine. See, getting free stuff isn’t
what it’s cracked up to be. 99 bottles of beer on the wall…
I
have always liked the optimistic title of the Burton Lane/Alan Jay Learner
musical, “On a clear day you can see forever.” I also like to assure myself that
when skies are gray, the sun is always bursting brightly up above the clouds.
Did
you hear about the stork who hated of his wife’s nagging
that she was tired of him standing on leg? He finally put his foot down.
The
Question:
Double
“Q” Day: 1. What battle was considered the turning
point of the American Revolutionary War? 2.
Who exactly was Mae Jemison? Bonus: Ok,
following is a list of things you eat. Classify each as a fruit or a vegetable:
Peach, Celery, Pumpkin, Potato, Corn, Broccoli, Cucumbers, Peppers, Olives,
Cauliflower, Avocado, Peapods, and Beets.
The
Headlines:

This
disruption of the Israel society, now with wild gunfire,
which began with knife wielding killers is scary. Terror groups like to start
with small acts of violence that gets people looking over their shoulders. The
Israeli killing of the cold blooded kid killers in turn inspires rage against
and the list of volunteers for knife attacking grows. The world press will
accuse the soldiers of killing children. Groups like ISIS and al-Gaia and the
rest always start by putting a normally controlled society on edge, into
disarray. Then the crowds gather.
My
guess is that Biden is waiting for the results of
Hillary’s congressional appearance before choosing to run. This latest Benghazi
drama started Friday with the behind doors interview with Hill’s trusted aide.
So, the big question of the day is: How much more does the committee know after
Huma? Hill’s PR guy says Huma knows nothing about Benghazi, but a Hillary
email, yes I said email, indicates she was involved. So, I guess if Biden says
I’m in, Hillary looked bad. Regardless though, you all can expect some of the
greatest ever spinning of facts known to man in the aftermath of the empress’s
session. Have your Dramamine handy, the accusations will be rockin’.
Did
you hear about the guy trapped in a woman’s body?
Then he was born.
Nevada
banning Draft King and Fan Duel was certainly not
for moral reasons. It’s just to protect contributors to state legislature
campaigns, if you get my draft drift. Actually this episode shows you just how
silly and reactionary news media can be as we see emerging Friday suggestions
that Nevada will start the ball rolling against fantasy team gambling across
the country. Once again, a false premise rules American Journalism.
Brian
Wilson is a musical genius.
There’s
no truth to the rumor that Colt’s Irsay has blamed the
Patriots for his drug problem.
Donald
Trump at times is beginning to sound like Rosie
O’Donnell: Bush caused the 911 massacre?
How stupid. The Trumpster sounds more like a hit man for Hillary. He has
fractured and demeaned Repub candidates so much that all the King’s men may not
be able to put the party back together again. Repubs: The Humpty Dumpty party.
Trump: “The Yoke’s on us”.
I
have often been disappointed walking into a McDonalds at
11:02 to hear, “We have stopped serving breakfast” The pain is particularly
acute after having imagined the savory taste of sausage egg and cheese all morning
only to have my dream wiped away by a dour non-empathetic teen. If you can’t do
it, make me feel good. Hold my hand, I say as I resist that “Tough Luck Buddy”
stare. That’s all I have ever asked. But now, that problem is over. I can satisfy
my yearnings all day long. But my glee apparently is not shared by franchise
owners who don’t like lower priced breakfast meal usurping easier to prepare
higher priced lunch fare. But, the customer is always right, and my attitude about
Mac’s has improved. So, maybe I’ll be more apt to come by for a burger too,
instead of going to BK like I usually do. Franchisees should be happy about my
improved smile.
Who
can get the vote of the independents? That is the
question.
This
just in! If you think this political raec can’t get
crazier, get this ---Mayor, Senator, Governor Chafee’s campaign is far ahead of
the Trump campaign in adherence to good grammar. Something to chew on, eh?
Chafee has secured the English teacher bloc.
The
new Book that the Hillary gang lives to hate is by
Ed Klein and is called “Unlikeable: The Problem With Hillary.”
I
read that Rush L is saying that Repubs must vote for a
conservative candidate, or they lose the election. The last time he beat and
beat, and beat again the war drums about that, we lost a good President – GHW
Bush -- and got the first Clinton. Don’t enter the intersection without looking
both ways.
The new look in kitchen appliances may be in stores momentarily and it's called "Black Stainless Steel". Supposed to be sleek and rich.
The
big, just out fashion news for men is that pleated pants
are coming back! They left?
The
Parking Lot: Chapter 23.
Ed
Hohlman had just rapped the gavel to close another town meeting. He had managed
to table the casino question, and he finally got to things of daily importance
to the people -- roads, zoning variances, crosswalks, and whether or not Sally
Ann Macomber is too old to work in the library.
Now slapping
backs of his fellow councilmen and telling jokes, trading a little gossip after
a friendlier than average day at Town hall, he was feeling comfortable, more
than he had during the past week. He looked at the doorway, and saw his
neighbors actually smiling at each other as they filed out. Maybe I’m on the wrong
side of this casino thing he thought as he contemplated the benefits of
harmony.
As the
crowd thinned and dispersed, Fred caught the eye of a lone figure standing
somewhat in a shadow at the rear of the stairwell landing. It was not a
harmonious stare. He turned back to his friends, but his stomach was telling
him he wasn’t having fun anymore. “Time to go. Thanks Ginny, Mable, John,” – he
nodded to Al and Roseanne and turned. Fred started to the rear entrance door.
Two steps and he felt a not so gentle hand on his back. “Nice meeting tonight,
Counselor”. Fred felt cold.
The
Answer:
1.
The turning point of the Revolution was the defeat of the rather arrogant but
very capable British General John Burgoyne at Saratoga by America’s Horatio
Gates. The news of the Victory brought France firmly into the war to aid the
United Colonies of America. That changed everything. 2. Mae Jemison has a smile that can light up the sky, and she did
just that as an American astronaut and the first Africa American woman to
travel in space. She went to Stanford at the age of 16 and then received her
medical degree from Cornell. She now has her own company, Jemison Associates that
researches, markets and develops science and technology for daily life. Her
resume is pretty damn long and she’s only a mere 59. Bonus: According got a botanist report via the Mayo Clinic
nutrition division, the fruits are Corn Kernels, Peach, Avocado, Peapods,
Pumpkin, Cucumbers, Peppers and Olives. The rest -- Celery, Potato, Broccoli,
Cauliflower, and Beets – are vegetables. It’s all about seeds and flowers, and
what has what, and what comes from
where. Sounds like a Clinton campaign message. BTW, meat is meat.
But,
being right is much better than being left. As long as being right doesn’t mean
being left…behind.
And,
I’ve got you babe…
