Let them eat cake; or tree nuts and bed bugs. Really what does it matter.

 

Today's Tids Issue 3,891

For Self Independence:

Why are so many people so concerned about the personal habits of everybody else. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m against people killing each other, stealing, raping, vandalizing and littering. I’m just tired of too many people creating too many restrictions on what people can and cannot do. It’s like people have these hobbyes revolving around abstinence, and they want everybody to join them so they don’t look too foolish. One of the few objectives of this Tids mess is to help people think through the daily barrage, and focus on doing things for themselves, just so long as one of the isn’t sprinkling cyanide on my Cheetos. 

My heart stood still this Sunday. Thinking of the phrase “Fathers Day” swelled my heart to the point where it may have stopped momentarily from pleasant exertion. What a thrill, to be a father.

As the little kid inside of me might say, “Today was ‘Rememberful’, dad!”

I didn’t like that headline this morning about the Syria Jet shoot down. From this perch, the entire Syria thing looks like one of the least comprehensible, indecipherable messes ever, where too many uncontrollable actions could lead to an escalation of a war we don’t want to have, or even worse. I hate it when I have to type “Even worst”.

Bill Clinton’s once stated mantra was, “deny, deny, deny, and eventually it will go away. (Except for the occasional blue dress situation) But Trump has basically opted for “open a can of worms so the opposition can fish more effectively,” philosophy.

The cranberry farmer often gets bogged down.

Usain Bolt lived well on McDonald’s chicken nuggets. Tom Brady prefers avocado ice cream. To each his own.

The Question:

What was the title of the 1952 late night show and who was the lone actor in that show portraying the stereotypical suave man of the times in a silk smoking jacket, smoking a cigarette while staring directly into the camera sweet talking his female viewers in a romantically gooey, highly successful for a while series?

The Headlines:

--Russia Says It will target US Planes After American Jet Shoots Down Syrian Plane; Navy Plane Was Retaliating For Syrian Attack On US Supported Operation.

--Stock Markets Higher; Grocery Stocks Up After Amazon/Whole Foods Drama.

--Van Mows Down People Outside London Mosque; British Authorities Treating Incident As Terror Action.

--Google Ramps Up Efforts To Smother Extremist Communications.

--Independent Council Staff Shaping Up As Decidedly Non-Independent; Many Obama, Clinton Donors Named To Mueller Team.

--Major Tech Leaders Meeting With Trump Today.

--Captain Of The Destroyer USS Fitzgerald Got Some Serious Splainin’ To Do.

--As NBA Draft Day Approaches, Boston President Ainge Confuses Fans.

--Boxer Tim Hague Dies After Being Knocked Out In Ring.

I look at the crushed side of that US destroyer around midships, and it says to me that somebody drove this ship in front of the three times larger Container ship. How did state of the art technology not see something so mammoth, or let the officer of the day know that you aren’t fast enough to make it. That’s just a mere layman’s analysis of an event that probably will destroy the Captains career. He was asleep at the time, but in the Navy, I understand, it’s the Captain’s shop regardless. It’s sad, but it should never have happened.

I should write more about Dvorak. He rarely lets me down.

A local sports columnist suggests that Donald Trump would have tweeted the Gettysburg Address.

A 310 yard shot with a three wood over ball eating treachery to within 8 feet of the hole?

How come the media never seemed to get hysterical over Loretta Lynch’s instructions for obstruction?

Local Pride Department:

Johnson & Wales University, long known as a premiere university for the food and hospitality industry, has just won the national advertising campaign contest sponsored by the American Federation of Advertisers. It beat out the renowned PR Program of Boston U for the regional title and many of the major national universities along the way to the national championship.

At the turn of the century (That’s my turn of the century in 1900), Providence RI was considered perhaps the first or second most powerful manufacturing community in the land. Today they announced new members to the Board of he state’s leading Manufacturers Organization – an accountant, a representative ot the ACA RI operation, an insurance agent and a representative of business promoting minority and women businesses. Hey, they are all probably nice, hardworking, smart people, but why aren’t we seeing advanced technology people on the board, people with state of the art manufacturing backgrounds. Would that make sense of you wanted to become competitive again in that important field.

Spanish Golfer John Rahm has a chance to be one of the greatest golfers ever, if he can get rid of his often out of control fiery temper. Not pretty.

I would imagine that many people tuned out of the Open yesterday after the starpower was left in the fescue. Personally, I found this tournament one of the most exciting, where shot after shot meant something. It was tough to get up from the couch for a short jog.

The Answer.

The late night program of gentlemanly female seduction was “The Continental” starring Renzo Cecana. The very popular CBS show opened with Renzo opening the door for his viewers, in a manner that each viewer thought it personal to them, He would then take their coat while giving them a rose, before ushering them to a beautiful table set for dinner for two… and quiet suductive talk. The talk was always of the arts, literature and like genre, never guttural, but always pleasing to the woman, tis as he politely orchestrated a warm atmosphere and satisfying meal. Women doted on the man. Men hated him. Renzo, who was born in Italy and graduated from the Jesuit Academy in Rome was a playwright who developed shows like Art Linkletter’s House Party.

Word of the day: “Polite”. “Marked by the appearance of consideration, tact, deference or courtesy; Marked by a lack of roughness or crudities; Observance of accepted social usage. As defined For Kids: Showing good taste or training; Showing consideration and courtesy.

So thanks you for reading, and for not be presumptuous of what’s good for me.
