Talk to happy people. Tap your toes. Feel good.

Today's Tids Issue 3,712

For Happy, Tappin' Feet.

If you are a Repub and are feeling a little down, pick up the phone and call somebody from Cleveland. Anybody. Cause I guarantee that anybody who answers the phone in that beautiful city on the lake will be upbeat and very happy, only thinking about who will show up as their World Series opponent. Get positive, go to Cleveland. It’s like walking on the sunny side of the street. Or should I say, Rockin’ and rollin’ where the sun is shinin’.

Hey, if you are Dem and realize you have to vote for Hillary, you too can call somebody in Cleveland and feel better about the world.

The Dems feel pretty certain they have the Oval won. You can bet that now all efforts are being directed at electing a Dem senate. That is what the next three weeks are all about, the Senate. The Repubs need it, but America needs it to be Repub, more.

Tis a sad day indeed. Met Life has fired Snoopy! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

Asparagus tastes better with rich creamy chicken gravy atop it. Hmm, now I’m happy again.

The Question:

What was the real name of the historic US Navy Ship known as “Old Ironsides”.

The Headlines:

--GE And Honeywell beat 3Q Profit Forecasts As WS Continues To See Strong Q3 Earnings; Brokers Await Earnings From Mickie D And Talk From Fed’s SF Prez John Williams.

I gotta think that no sports team in history has been under more pressure to win it all than the Chicago Cubs.

After yesterday’s Tids I received a note from an intuitive woman: “Last night we saw the beginning of the end of America as we know it.”

Yet, last night on CBS of all places I watched one of their young reporters interview a CBS panel of 7 women about the debate. The Panel consisted of equal parts Hillary and Donald and one undecided. One of the Hill people was black and one was Hispanic. At the end, after some pretty intense questions, he asked if the Debate had changed any minds. The supporter groups said no, but the undecided said she would now go for Trump. One of the Hillary-ites said she had developed concerns about the credibility of Hillary in the White House. Is that the real America?

Cool days are coming back, and that is making me real happy.

IBM says that they are moving to Mac’s over PC’s because while the Mac costs more initially, the PC costs up to $543 more than Macs after four years. BTW, the venerable old computer company is the largest mac customer, and growing.

I haven’t picked my Halloween party costume yet, but I’m thinking of going as Chris Wallace who scares the hell out of shady, shallow politicians.

CNN Business estimates that Donald Trump has creates annually 32,000 to 67,000 jobs, including 24,000 permanent jobs within his corporation that produces about $10 Billion a year. That doesn’t include the thousands employed for his construction projects. Why doesn’t he say that in response to a Hillary quip like, “He’s just a reality show celebrity?”

BTW, the black Hillary supporter on the CBS panel above said that she would vote for Hillary even if Jesus Christ came down and said Hillary was a crook. And she added with a gigantic smile, “And I love Jesus”.

One of the reasons I’m emerging happy face from the pile of crap called Presidential politics is because I’m feeling a contented Wall Street for the first time in a while. At least until short sellers can conjure up something negative again.

A local leftie columnist had a good joke slogan this morning for you know who: “Grope and Change.”

I’m happy. But I wouldn’t be if I knew I could live long enough to feel the brunt of Hillaryism.

Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:

--I expect that Jack Reacher: Never Go Back will do real well in the Theaters. I’d certainly go to see loner Jack fighting to save his former military pal and now base commander Susan, now arrested for espionage by a less than desirable faction of the US Military. Lots of action and a pretty good plot The critics pretty much hate it. I guess it’s a matter of how low your standards are.

--Keeping up with The Jones doesn’t sound to me as dumb as it sounds to critics who rank it even lower than Reacher. Audiences abide this tale of unruly neighbors. Good plot premise and cast in a comedy about perfect neighbors who’s mysterious lives lure innocent neighbors into an international espionage plot.

--Believe it or not, the best rated movie of the week is Ouija: Origin of Evil. This is a scary sucker and good follow-up to the original Ouija that has the evil game once again drawing you into supernatural activity just in time for Halloween. Your heart will be fluttering.

The Answer:

Old Ironsides was commissioned as the USS Constitution. Let’s hope our Constitution cans stay above water like the old warship continues to do up in water. Let’s hope.
