Today's Tids Issue 3,603

Opening Stuff:

I’ll try to be deliriously effervescent.

To make this day for you quiet pleasant.

But if I seem to go deep, and to black,

It must be because of a Hillary attack.

The city of San Fran continues to make questionable decisions that defy rationality and that fly in the face of mountains of evidence against unreasonable considerations in favor murderous felons. But, if you are a hardened Hispanic criminal, it’s the place to be.

The Mini-Cooper is a great little car.

Living in the city is much quieter in the winter. That’s mainly because the windows are closed.

The Question:

Who are these people: Doug Hutchison, Genie Francis, Margaret Colin, Jeremy Corbyn. Bonus: What is the difference between Great Britain and The United Kingdom?

The Headlines:

--Crude Hits $50, A 7 Month High; Stocks Could Benefit; Companies Continue To Miss Targets.

--Japan PM Warns Of Lehman Magnitude Crisis.

--It Is Reported That China Will Deploy Nuclear Armed Subs To patrol the Pacific Ocean.

--Tornadoes Ripping Across Mid USA.

--VA Declared Thousands Of Vets Dead, Stripping Them Of Their Benefits.

--PI Says Casey Anthony’s Lawyer Told Her Casey Was Guilty; Says Anthony Paid Lawyer With sex.

What the Inspector General audit of Hillary’s email and separate server really does is confirm that her denunciations of wrong doing basically were immense fabrications of the truth. So, what’s knew with the Clintons.

Speaking of facts, it widely known that 100% of dentists know you are lying about flossing.

Altering the Facts, Department:

Is there anything more dangerous to America than an activist journalist altering the facts? Well, cute little Katie Couric did it in an interview with a group of pro gun enthusiasts as part of a forthcoming gun documentary. She and the producers edited the interview “In an apparent attempt to embarrass the activists”. The documentary will show the Gun people sitting dumbfounded and silent for a full 9 seconds after her question about background checks to thwart felons or terrorists. The fact is that the film on the floor shows a vigorous four minute discussion by all participants on the issue. My first reaction in all big media pronouncements is disbelief. How can I think otherwise?

I often wonder what I would be like if I was young in this new era where fitness is king (Or queen). Would I be out there jogging, looking at a wristwatch for guidance? Probably not. While I was a pretty active athlete in HS and college, I always hated fitness and exercise. I hear this younger generation thinks it is fun. Yikes!

The end of Victoria Secret’s catalog will be disturbing to college dorms and assorted ogling men. But, this event is more significant than what it means to voyeurism. It signifies the possibility of the rapid decline of anther great American industry – Printing. It’s sad to see the decline of out master craftsmen, or is that crafts people? That’s the other thing.

It’s eerie time again on TV, and The Preacher and Wayward Pines will test your mettle. Te Preacher is very well done with just enough gore and weirdness. Pines was better last year when you didn’t know what was going on. The Town leaders seem a little more harsh now, but perhaps their human instincts will help them see the light of the bigger enemy.

The current political scene just got stranger. Yesterday there was semi serious talk of a Dem Ticket of Hillary and “Ellen”. God help us.

And, Last night Trump and Sanders accepted a Jimmy Kimmel invite to debate each other for charity. If this event gains momentum, it tends to preempt Hillary as part of the campaign. Maybe in his heart Bernie thinks Hillary will be indicted and he is getting ready to go. Strange as it may seem, there is the possibility that Trump and Sanders followers could support each other’s anti establishment candidacy. It is that weird out there.

The Parking Lot: Chapter 62.

   Nancy in dark glasses, a blond wig and lots of make-up – which is really out of her character – walks up the stairs to the fourth floor offices of the State Attorney General. She didn’t call ahead, because she knew what would be awaiting her.

   The little guardian of the desk looked up with the same unappealing look that matched her robotic voice. Nancy put her hands on the front of the desk and stared down at her. Finally, the woman tried to smile, which looked almost painful, “Yes, how can I help you.” She was definitely surprised at the appearance of an unknown appointment.

   “Get up and come with me into your boss’s office.”

   “ You get out of here or I will call the police.”

   Now firmly with a severe look, “Your boss wants to see me. Get up.” Suddenly, the woman remembered that voice. She started to  inch up out of her seat, probably wondering if she should reach down and push the panic button. Nancy’s face said otherwise.

  Nancy was half way around the desk, with her arm extended ready to clasp the now somewhat scared and confused woman. “Ok, Ok,” she said, “I’m coming,”

   The two walked to the big wooden closed door and Nancy knocked, politely. “Yes, Margaret, is that you?”

   “Say yes”

   “Yes” The door clicked open and Nancy followed in behind Margaret.

   Hi Mister Sheehan, remember me?”

The Answer:

You’ve seen Doug Hutchison often, and probably hated him. He is noted for playing antagonistic disturbing characters like Obie Jameson in The Chocolate Wars , Sproles in Fresh Horses and sadistic CO Percy Whetmore in the Green Mile. If you liked General Hospital, the you liked Genie Francis as Laura Spencer. Margaret Colin is another soapie star best known for As the World Turns. She has also had seem pretty good roles in films like The butcher’s Wife, Independence Day and Something Wild. Jeremy Corbyn is the head of the Labor Party in The UK. Bonus: The UK is comprised of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is Only England, Scotland and Wales. And some people use England interchangeably with the UK and GB.

I feel effervescent, despite politics’. I could also say I feel sparkling, bubbly, bouncy and vibrant. And, I don’t need coffee.
