Someone by my side.





Today's Tids Issue 3,614
For Comfort:

The vast majority of American voters don’t know a liberal from a conservative, but only how a candidate does on late night TV, and will he or she be able to eat, buy a car and go dancing.

I have this small problem in life: I often confuse Daphnis & Chloe with Tristan & Isolde.

When you think about it, then greatest thing about being a human is having someone else to reach out to in times of woe or to celebrate with during times of great joy.

It seems like that the time is right for a little profit taking.

The Question:
Why do you think Americans may have been a bit disturbed when they looked at tier paychecks on June 9 1943? Bonus: Name three actors/actresses on TV program Family Ties other than Michael J. Fox.

The Headlines:
--Tel Aviv Gun Attack Has Stunned Terror Hardened Israeli’s.
--ECB’s Draghi Says 2015’s Weak Output Could Have Long Term Eroding Effect On Global Economy; US Markets Down On Draghi Comments, And Oil Profit-Taking.
--State Department To Investigate Missing Minutes In Iran Agreement Briefing Video.
--Conservatives Pushing For Trump Replacement; Obama And Reid To Meet With Bernie To Help Mend Fences, DNC’s Wasserman May Be Sacrificial Lamb That Brings Sanders Aboard The Hillary Train..
--Fans Upset With CMT Music Awards Show And Lack Of Country Stars.
--Bearish George Soris Begins Trading Again.
--Cleveland Cavaliers Comeback To Smother GS 120-90.

Keep it fresh for September-October, Department:
If I was one of these flawed candidates, I would wait to get out the dirt on the other for a few more months. The American voter forgets in a couple of weeks after the accompanying media circus folds its tent. So when the candidate pounds away again closer to Novemeber, it is looked at as old news, already over-discussed. It’s the old rope-a-dope principle of Ali. Take their punishment and over kill by the media and quietly begin with the body blows while the audience’s attention is diverted somewhere else. Hillary would love Trump to go full bore on EmailGate right now.

Did you see where the hot new industry in America is scalping tickets to the Mohammed Ali funeral?

I asked an Israeli friend of mine if his elder mother is fearful in her city of Tel Aviv. He replied that, “we have been fighting terrorists of one kind or another since the founding of Israel”.

Paul Pierce says he is retiring at the end of next years’ season. I thought he retired two years ago.

It’s interesting that George Soris was considered bearish during that period when his pal Obama said the economy had never been better.

80% of all golfers never reach a handicap of 18 or less. Feel better?

I think what Trump is finding is that conservatives just don’t roll over to celebrity.

I think that Spell-Check had too much roast pork with gravy last night.

The Parking Lot: Chapter 63 continues…
   Jared heard a small snap behind him. His head and barely turned when he saw the monster, hands raised and ready to bash in the back of his head with a lead pipe!
   Hey, that’s my lead pipe, Jared thought as he bcgan the slow descent to avoid the deadly blow. The pipe was getting large as his body urgently tried to crumple to the ground. His hand was reaching for the gun in his pocket, as he watched the forward motion the pipe.
   Wham! The pipe hit the tree behind where he and been standing just nanoseconds ago. He had his and around the gun and was pulling it out just before his body lamed into the ground, he rolled away. When he looked back up the pipe was back in assault position ready to crush him as he lay almost helpless. But, not that helpless. He moved the gun away from his body and fired a shot into the knee cap. He remembered that the mafia always found that efficient at producing maximum pain.
  The giant screamed, his hands dropping the pipe as they raced to his fractured, bleeding knee. Jared rose up quickly and now felt a giant himself looking down at the struggling beast. He moved away from the flailing arms. He had seen too many horror movies where the ogre never died.
  He picked up the pipe and slammed it into the back of the brute. Suddenly that lingering pain from the 2 by 4 disappeared.
   He looked don at the lifeless body, hoping he was just unconscious. “Fred, get out here and help. Do you have rope in your office?”
  
The Answer:
June 9, 1943 was the day the Federal Government began withholding income tax from paychecks. “Hey, who da F--- is stealing my money?” They’re still stealing it, Buddy. Bonus: Well, the cast was good and included Meredith Baxter, Michael Gross, Justine Bateman, Tina Youthers and Tray Poulin. Tracy was MJF’s girl friend on Ties and she is married to him and has been at his side as he battles Parkinson’s. 

We’ll travel the road, sharing our load, side by side:
