Today's Tids Issue 3,551
Opening Stuff:
I
hope the election returns don’t interfere with NCIS tonight.
I mean, how much more can talking-heads repeat themselves? We’ve got to get
back to having a life, for God only knows what the country will look like after
January 21, 2017. Enjoy it while you got it.
Something
weird is happening out there, and that something is
that some people are not getting the Tids. It appears that perhaps some email
services are blocking it as being dangerous to your computer’s health. Today I’m
sending it out a bit differently. You can always get this Mess by going to the
world view: etc blogspot site. Maybe, it’s being intercepted by Hillary’s private
server. I may change the name of this to “Some Stuff”. Does that sound like
Spam?
People
see and hear what they want to see and hear and see it regardless
of the truth or reality. For instance, yesterday a well known TV commentator read
about 30 text messages from across the USA (I’m not mentioning his or her name because
I don’t want the reaction to be based on any person’s perception of who he may
seem to be in an individuals mind.) The messages commenting on this one person’s
opinions either said something like, “You Trump butt kisser, you should burn in
hell.” Or: “Why do you hate Trump so much? You should be shot!” Do you get the
picture, people form opinions irrespective of the facts before them. That’s a problem
exaggerated by irresponsible tweeting and other instant opinion dissertations.
It’s better to sit back and be calm. But, I don’t think we live in that world
any more.
The
Question:
Double
Q Day: 1. Name three TV shows where Judd Hirsh starred. 2. In what TV program did Kim Raver
first gain her fame? Super Bonus:
What was the First Internet Domain Name, and when did it appear on the www. Double Bonus: “24” became the longest running
espionage/counterterrorism show surpassing what two favorites of yore?

This
morning it was announced that a China insurance company swept
up the US Starwood Hotel Company winning a bid against Marriott.. There may not
be any jobs for Trump to bring back as ownership of US companies keeps on going
to China or elsewhere (Avon Cosmetics is moving Their HQ to UK). For instance,
GE Appliances, Strategic Hotels, and several semiconductor companies, among others,
are already owned by China. And their wallets are still wide open. Our Financial
community is about making money and it doesn’t appear to be concerned about which
countries are buying up all of our assets and technology as long as the checks
are huge and don’t bounce.
Sign
seen on the back of a livestock carrier truck: “Caution
– Floor covered with political promises.”
If
Bernie does well in today’s Primaries, Super Delegates now
in Hill’s column could begin to rethink their position. He probably rues the
day he closed the door on going after The Hill on her email situation.
The
Voice Was packed last night, starting with the end of
the Blinds and ending with the beginning of the Battles. Each coach needed to
fill their teams and Blake’s only and Pharell’s first were rather mediocre and
won’t last long. I liked Christina’s choice of Ayanna Jahnee and Adam’s Katie
Basden. The critics really liked Pharell’s second choice of Moushumi, a woman
who supposedly gave up a career as a doctor to sing! I personally thought she
was wonderful and has a voice that would be easy to listen to for hours. She
could do quite well. The first and third Battles were great. Katie Basden
fought the very good Ryan Quinn., Katie is probably the better raw singer but Ryan
has that something and was kept by Adam. Blake stole Katie, who always wanted Blake
in the first place. You couldn’t help but love the duet between Bryan Bautista
and Malik Heard. You knew before the end that both would go on. It was Malik
who needed to be saved by Pharell, but he was as good as or better than Bryan
depending on who watched. Nest week will be great. And then there is American Idol, which keeps on losing solid singers.
The latest to go is Avalon Young. And the ever cute Dalton is hanging on by fingernails
if singing is the measure! But he will continue to get the teen girl vote. The dominant
duo are La’Porsha and Trent Harmon. Also, I think McKenzie will hang in there.
Watching
those supporters of Trump, I’m thinking of the Tea Party
and how the establishment on either side must really dislike voters with fervor.
The “Ins” like mindless voters who think largess from the Government is free,
and who don’t argue with the powers that be.
Elder
people for the most part have no problem trying to adapt to the
good of the new generations, new era of technology. But the young seem to have
an aversion to accepting the wisdom of the past. I hate to irritate the young, because
they will take away my driver’s license.
Jack
Bauer for President! Emma Peel for Vice President.
It
appears that some people are taking as a challenge the phrase,
“How stupid can you be?” And that covers everybody from political correct college
Presidents, to CEO’s and everybody of every gender, age group and race in
between.
The
protestors at the Trump event certainly look like every
other organized bloc from the left. In fact they look exactly like OWS – “Occupy
Wall Street.” Which, is exactly what
Bernie is preaching.
“Duh”
Realization Of The Month, Department:
I don’t know about you, but it wasn’t a surprise
to me to learn that inviting masses of people, into a country would cause problems,
financially and socially. I thought of a couple of good analogies, but I might
be banned by College Presidents.
The
Answer:
1.
I
guess everybody knows about Judd as Alex in the wonderful Taxi. He was also prominent
in Numb3rs. He was less well known to me in Dear John. 2.
Kim Ravers became known, as far as I’m concerned, as Jack Bauer’s girlfriend
Audrey Raines in “24”. Some would say that she made her mark in Third Watch.
She also starred in Grey’s Anatomy after 24. She got her first start on Sesame
Street. Super Bonus: Simbolics.com
(Of MIT) became the first Internet Domain Name in 1985. Double Bonus: Yes, 24 outlasted Mission: Impossible and The
Avengers, two more of my favorites.
Have
a great day everybody! Hope you got your “Some Stuff”!
