Today's Tids Issue 3.526
Opening Stuff:
One
of the funnier commentaries I have heard lately is that with
the advent of Hillary and Bernie, New Hampshire is changing its wonderful
slogan from “Live free or die” to “Live for
free or die.”!
What
I Need every once in a while is a good trip to the
Golden Corral.
Unfortunately,
I have heard from a rather brilliant political observer that the vicious tactics
of the Clinton cabal are at work in NH and it is not unlikely that it could
lead to that win over Bernie and the nauseating prospects of The Hill being anointed
the “Upset Kid”, a crown once worn by her
Husband after the vote in the same state 24 years ago.
The
Question:
Double
“Q” day: 1. What are the big movie flops for
2015? 2. Which teams are the odds
makers picking to meet in the 2016-17 Super Bowl?
The
Headlines:
--Wall Street Says It is Not In A Panic.
--4 Dead And 150 injured In Massive Head-on Train Crash
In Germany.
--Politico Reports That Clintons Are Unhappy With
The Hill Campaign Staff; Campaign Staff Unhappy With Hillary And Her Refusal To
follow Advice And Much More; Shakeup On Horizon After NH; Second National Poll
Says Bernie Has Closed Gap.
--Kremlin Surprises With Rare Rebuke Of Merkle
Over Syria Criticism.
--Bomb Scares In This Town And In Schools Across The
USA And Countries Like Australia Said To Be Part Of Massive Robo-Calling Effort
Originating In Russia.
--Bloomberg Says He Is Considering For President Because
Current Candidate Conversations Too Banal. Voters deserve More; Observers Say
Bloomberg NY Values Part of American Problem.
Did
you see where a pro abortion group has their tights
in a tizzy over the Super Bowl Doritos’s commercial that they say unfairly
humanizes a fetus. Fetuses always looked like humans to me. A human by any
other name is still a human.
What
a Difference a Year Makes, Department:
Here’s how New Hampshire People looked at the
candidates a year ago today. Democrats: Hillary 69%, Bernie 13%, Bien 8% and
Webb 2%. Repubs: Jeb 18%, Scott Walker 15, Rand Paul 14, Christie 13, Huck 7,
Carson 7, Cruz 6 and Rubio 6. Depending on which of today’s polls you pick
Sanders is up from 7 to 26 points. Trump is clearly ahead of the Repubs playing
for second place.
There
is too much taxpayer money going to too many college
professors with too much time on their hands to create too many theories which
gather way too much press reporting about basically nothing that is important in
lives of just about everybody.
Now,
if
you want to talk about accomplishment and excellence on the college scene, you
have to talk about the UConn women’s basketball team. All year I have been watching
the rise and consistency of the U. South Carolina team. Is this the year the
rest of the women’s basket ball world begins to catch up? Right? Well, last night
UConn traveled down south into the 18,000+ packed den of the wannabe, screaming
South Carolinians and dominated the game from beginning to end, winning by 12
points. Nutmeggers are breathing easier. Next on the horizon -- Notre Dame, an
old nemesis.
Women’s
basketball is invariably more watchable than men’s which
has declined into NBA sameness.
The
main differences between communism and socialism
is that people are driven into communism by force, while people establish socialist
governments and economies through a vote. In essence it is a choice between murder
and suicide.
When
Madeline Albright says that women who don’t support
women deserve a lifetime in hell, she seems to be assuming that women aren’t
smart enough to choose between good and bad candidates. She implies that women aren’t
courageous enough to have their own points of view. I never ever thought that much
of Albright.
Just
in case you keep score on Tids predictions – Tids said
last year that quarterly reports where companies essentially rob Peter to pay Paul
will come home to roost with the year end reports when Peter’s pockets are
empty. They have. – The Tids predicted the Broncos win, saying that Miller and Ware
will harass Newton with a flurry he has yet to see. They did. Hey, every once
in a while I have to toot my horn to assure you this Tids thing is worth all of
the money you are paying for it. Hey, wait a minute, that’s zero! Uh-oh.
But,
I am having a lot of trouble with my crystal ball
when it comes to New Hampshire.
The Parking Lot: Chapter 45 continues…
The two
younger men stood gaping at Nancy. Mouths slack jawed and eyes wide “What the hell
are you doing in my house?” she yelled.
Nancy
reached behind her as she noticed the crowbar in one of man’s hand. She watched
the fingers tighten a grip, while she slowing removed the pistol and brought it
up.
“So…” She smiled
now as the eyes went too her right hand and she heard the metallic sound of the
bar hitting the concrete foundation. She knew these two and one pretty well. It
was Buddy Howland, a guy who was part of her town crowd growing up with her and
her brother.
“Hi Nancy,”
now the other, Tommy, tried to answer bravely. “We heard about this fire and
were just nosing around.”
“Nosing around
for what, boys, my panties.” Their faces turned red. She likecd putting people in
awkward positions when she wanted information. She hammered on. “Or did your
dad send you down to see what you could find that would be helpful to whatever
he is up to?” Now they were really speechless, caught between the wrath of dad
and the threat of a gun. What is your dad up to these days?
“Hey
listen, Nance, we’ve been friends for a long time.” Now Buddy started to
negotiate. She stared. “So you caught us. We weren’t doing anything more than
we already said.”
“You know
I don’t believe you at all.” She clicked back the hammer for effect. The boys held
up their hands in protest.
The Answer:
1.
Brand of Crisis was Sandra Bullock’s worst nationwide opening ever. Others in
not so good attendance list are Burnt, Truth, Steve Jobs, Jem and the
Holograms, Rock the Kasbah, The last Witch Hunter, Pan, Crimson Peak, Minions,
The Walk, Machine 2. We are Your Friends,
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Entourage, Aloha, Jupiter Ascending,
Mortdecai, Couples Retreat, Strange Magic, Blackhat, Seventh Son and Chappie.
Many of these were new lows for super stars like Bill Murray, Vin Diesel and
Tom Cruise. 2. Te odds makr stoday have new England Patriots or Pittsburgh at
8-1 meeting Seattle (8-1. The rest in order are Packers and Cardinals at 10-1, Bengals
and Panthers (12-1), Cowboys 14-1), and at 20-1 – Broncos, Vikings Colts, and
Chiefs. All of the rest are 30-1 or higher. The highest at 200-1 are the Cleveland
Browns, unless of course Johnny Mansiel can turn a corner.
