Logic has lost its way.

Today's Tids Issue 3932

Looking for Common Sense:

Is there anything nicer than a sunny morning with a temp in the mid fifties, where the air is brisk but not shivering cold. Just makes me want to go out there and jog. But, that big bag of Cheetos just before sleeping keeps on saying no.

I’m finding myself looking up to the corner of my newspaper for the time of day! I’m transforming, and it isn’t pretty.

Hey, I forgot to make a correction the other day. When writing about Jerry Lewis, I mistakenly said he raised millions for MS when it was Muscular Dystrophy – MD. I hope somebody is raising millions for MS too. I’m sure they are.

One of the unreported, at the time, changes in the so-called Afghan strategy is a movement to using India as an ally, which is making Pakistan very mad. How come we are doing so much to make everybody mad?

The Question:

Getting ready for a nice Saturday or Sunday morning and quiet walk to a favorite breakfast site? What do you think are considered the Top Ten Favorite breakfast items?

One of the biggest crises in Tidsland is the growing shortage of good puns. As you all know, the Tids has been doling out the best of those abominable lexiconic perplexities from the beginning of the first issue. But, the strict dictums of this editorial board demand that nothing is repeated. So some of the great puns or writs plays like, “When the smog lifts in Los Angeles, UCLA.” Or “A will is a dead giveaway” or “A boiled egg is hard to beat” or “Acupuncture is a jab well done”, will never be seen again unless of course I wrangle them into a paragraph like I just did.

Here’s an old favorite axiom of Republicans. “The last four letters of Republican is ‘I can’. The last four letters of Democrats is ‘Rats’.”

There was a time when he hours were determined by flowing sands, And later by the big and little hands. But today it is, “What are hands” and tomorrow it will be “What are watches?

Amazon is about to slash prices at Whole Foods which will make so-called organic food more available for so many more food purists. Economists say it will cause havoc among the big Grocery chains. But, what about the small, local farmers leading the way in the USA agrarian resurgence who need the extra dough to grow their chemically deprived foods.

Investors are not supporting as they have in the past the big food icons like Mondelese and Campbell. Perhaps these solid companies have maxed out their valuations. They make profits, they are well run, but there is no room for stock price growth after the Trump run-up. That is a problem with a surging market, there is nothing bad about it, except that there is nowhere to go. It appears that new pools of funds being created through the sale of big traditional food holdings and diverted to the small specially food suppliers far below top valuations. You know, like the smaller organic producers who have just have had their prices slashed by Amazon. There’s always something.

It is possible without fully realizing it, that the Left is urging the destruction of Rebel Statues for a reason more intrinsic to their raison d’etre than simply slavery of the past. While slavery was certainly an ingredient contributing to the cause of the conflict, many, many historians say the cause of the Civil War was the age-old argument “States Rights versus Federal domination.” The South rebelled because they wanted state sovereignty as supreme, the ability to make their own critical decisions on key issues, slavery being one of them. What does the left want more than anything today -- Federal domination of everything? The statues are of men who fought against that. Take them down, and steamroll the public.

The lament: For eight years people who disagreed with the President were labeled racists. Today, the people who agree with the president are labeled racist. It’s just that kind of BS coming out of the left through the media that ridicules sensible arguments.

I believe that a large percentage of the media is left of center, and truly despises Trump, but Trump’s criticism of the media is becoming childish, tedious and to the point of making them victims.

Pun of the Day: “If the current leader’s head was added to Mount Rushmore using cement, that would be setting a precedent.”

Labelling is destroying America. Actually, politicians with all of there inadequacies were better for America than there professional advertising strategists.

The latest talking points from the Left in one some form or another: Trump is mentally ill”. You can always tell “talking points” when supposedly intelligent free thinkers say the same thing in answer to any question.

CNN has become shallower than MSNBC.

Regardless of DT, Repubs have to begin banding together with a positive message to remain the majority in the House and Senate. That is critical for the next 3 ½ years.

Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:

--Ingrid Goes West is a quirky little black satire on today’s social media that will hold your interest. At times funny, it heads off into scary as it progresses  Ingrid obsesses over “An Instagram famous Influencer” (Say what?), and goes from #BFF to #WTF. (That is “Best Friends Forever” to “What The F---". You have to be way younger than me to understand this crap). But, the movie is good. Would be advisable to see it with a millennium!

--Beach Rats is about a young man trying to escape his neighborhood delinquent destiny and “oppressive glare” of his family. He takes to finding “Hook-Up” sites for older men, but along the way meets a young woman and the conflict in his desires drives him to irreversible consequences. I’m not going.

--Leap! is a dull story told in an animation style which will draw the kids. Parents may be more bored than ever.

The Answer:

Ok, #10 is Cereal just ahead of #11 Bagels. #9 is Omelette just before Toast and then Scrambled Eggs, Fruit and Hash Browns. #4 is French Toast, #3 Waffles, #2 Pancakes and #1 --- Bacon! My #1 is Sausage which is way down at #23. The old waker-upper, Coffee, is number 20. The others from #12 to # 19 are Muffins, Orange Juice, Croissants, Cinnamon Roll, Breakfast Sandwich, Fried potatoes, Eggs and B acon, and Donuts. For all you millennials, Breakfast Burrito’s are #37 and good old red neck biscuits and gravy are #41.

Eat hardy, and have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
