On Pedestals




Today's Tids Issue 4,362           
Of Feet of Stone:             

If I knew what I was doing today, I would have started already.

Barr knows what’s in the report. Congressional democrats want to make an issue out of what it doesn’t know. I think that experienced Washington insider Barr in his testimony today at a regular budget meeting, will just answer drama accented questions minimally. (Note: Dems are moving to areas other than the “Report”, as It became clear Barr had nothing to say, and wouldn’t. Repubs will continue to ask questions about Budget items, while Dems will pursue political scenarios like the litigation on Health Care.)

The difference between a country music awards ceremony and a Hollywood based film awards ceremony is that at the country awards they all say, “Thank God”. While in Hollywood its’s “O’ my god”.

One day the markets are moving nicely. The next day the US hits Europe with $11 Billion In tariffs. How come it comes as a surprise.

The Question:
Who were the original 7 astronauts.?

The Headlines:
--US Stocks Down As US-EU Trade War Sparring Escalates; US Moves To Slap $11 Billion In Tariffs On Euro Products. .
--Barr Testifying Before Congress Committee.
--Tripoli Fighting Intensifying; Russia Opposes UN Statement Aimed Only At Haftar Forces.
--New W-4 Declaration Form Looks Difficult And A Possible Intrusion On Privacy[RH1] ; More Stringent Proclamation Designed To Reduce Refunds, Wil Irritate People.
--Virginia Beats Texas Tech In Overtime To Win NCAA Basketball Championship.
  Red Sox Finally To Open Home Season; Patriots To Join In Double Championship Celebration.

The Government solution to companies moving out of RI is, “Oh, they have a lot of grassy lawns where we can grow marijuana. And their phone system will be great for sport’s gambling. No problem.

I recently took a pole and found that 100% of occupants were angry with me when their tent collapsed.

I don’t like the fact that Trump’s behind the scenes advisor Steven Miller is involved the reorganization of the Homeland Security Operation.

Inane urban expressions creep into the lexicon of so-called mainstream conversations every day. The latest I see arising in various headlines across the established press is “Throwing Shade”. It’s a way to disguise the word “Insult”. Dem candidates “throwing some shade at Uncle Joe.

New Parmesan cheese association slogan: Make America Grate Again.”

It seems to me that everyday somebody is proposing a new tax that sneaks up on the middle class, or tax concept like “get the rich”. But what has been proven over time is that ore money in the Government’s hands does not a better society make.

It’s not about whether or not immigrants can make great citizens, it’s about chaos at the border, and always has been, until politics took over.

On that subject, the Left is running Publicity implying that if you stop an immigrant you may lose out on the next great Albert Einstein. They don’t seem to be on that page when it comes to ceasing the life of a child.

I like to admire great people. Today many are local and unsung.

One of the great things about Tidsing is that I can communicate with all of you without passing along my spring cold.

The Answer:
I remember the day when the first seven were standing on the stage to applause. Going got outer space, Wow! It was a big deal. I have an old newspaper or two where the above the fold headlines in supersized black type was “MAN ON THE MOON”! I looked at it just last week and was still impressed. But real achievements of these days are left secondary to the activities of reality TV stars, wayward politicians and celebrity tweets. The first Seven were: Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Sheppard and Deke Slayton.

That said, the big news today is the home opener for the Red Sox. It will not excite like a walk on the moon, but it will make me happy.
