It’s pretty easy to see inevitability. It’s just hard to get people to agree about it.

Today's Tids Issue 3,611

Tids for Mulling:

I really think that the Apocalypse will come from too much technology, that gets too smart.

One of the things you begin learning as life goes by is that you never stop cleaning up after your kids.

Hmm…do you think the investment community is pushing up stocks to record levels so they can take big profits in July when earnings reports look feeble? I always get real nervous with “Record Highs”!

The Question:

Christine Keeler, who was dating a Soviet diplomat, nearly brought down the British government when it was found she was also the lover of which British Secretary of State? Bonus: Who was the woman who became famous because of her association with Christine Keeler?

The Headlines:

--Rush Hour Car Bomb In Turkey Kills 11.

--Oil tops 50; Stocks Hit records.

--California Will Tell The Story About Bernie Tonight.

--Bernie Says, “Nothing To Concede”; “O” To Come Out For Hill Tomorrow.

When a Pro Athlete admits that he shot himself, he is probably covering up the fact that he was hanging with a bunch of gun toting gangsters.– which just happens to be a big no-no in most professional leagues. Shooting yourself just labels you stupid. Getting shot by gangsters brings a suspension and large salary loss for hanging out with unsavory characters detrimental to the image of the game.

Do you get the feeling that Trump is looking to the presidency as a means to repair his business ills?

The media will be for Hill, minimizing her digressions, and magnifying Trumps mistakes. Tis is primarily because they like the idea of First Woman President. Let’s see we had a black and now a woman, what will be their favorite next time? I vote for Italians or Polish.

I think it is inevitable that over time increased productivity will produce all of the products and services for populations needing far fewer workers. It’s doubtful that women will go back en masse to house-wivery living in the global communities. With more and more non-workers becoming a norm, you should be award of a growing movement called “Universal Basic Income”. Yikes! It was just voted down in the Swiss parliament, but it will be back for sure. That is inevitable. It sounds like a Bernie Idea, and it really is all about redistributing wealth, it their will be any wealth left.

When you live near a college or a tourist area, “The Party House” is the dreaded monster in the neighborhood. These are houses rented to 3 or 4 students or young vacationers who in turn invite 15  to 20 to live with them and 100 to 200 to join them in parties. Even the best kids in the world are loud in crowds…especially after 13 beers.

So, is Obama coming out for Hillary, anything like coming out from a closet because you were ashamed of something.

One of things I have noticed in the Trump, Muslin, Mexican judge fiasco, is that the reporting organizations left out a lot of Trump answers in that Face the Nation interview. A look at the entire interview reveals that The Candidate provided more substantiating reasoning than the simple “I hate Mexican, I hate Muslim” perceptions as reported by the press. Trump should learn that when he acts sophomoric and outrageous in video performances, the editors will make him look even more so. Remember Katie Couric Gun documentary deception.

If the Food Pyramid division of the Department of Agriculture ever checked the shopping data collected by BJ’s, I would be in jail for Cheetos.

The Answer:

The Hugh Macmillan government lost credibility when John Profumo strayed into the arms of Christine Keeler, and then along with her, lied about it. Bonus: Keeler’s friend who also became notorious during this huge affair in 1963 was Mandy Rice Davies.

Sorry for two late Tids in a row. I still love you all.

I hate it when motorcycles hog the road. Groan.
