Today's Tids Issue 4,428
Waitin' for Fall:
Around here,
people grouse more about bad roads than bad weather.
Ross Perot
was a fun candidate, maybe one of the best of all over time. His strong third Party
showing probably gave Bill Clinton Term number one. People tuned in to see him
debate. He wakened the hopes of people with new ideas, new approaches to running
America. He was an American institution, with a classic rags-to-riches American
Story. Yet, last night I saw nary a mention of him on National news broadcasts.
Maybe the media doesn’t like those who tell it like it is.
Baseball was far
more exciting when the focus was on great plays in the field, throws from
the outfield, sharp hits past outstretched arms with runners running, daring steals,
a blazing fastball for strike three. Homeruns often look like lazy fly balls. And
NBA basketball has lost its way with star players basally extorting their teams
by requesting trades to join friends on other teams; a trend that will give us about
6 competitive teams and about 24 which are losers at the opening day tap off. Not
a pretty prospect.
I asked my doctor
how my check-up went. He said, “Get will soon”.
The Question:
Can you remember five noted Ross Perot quotes? Bonus:
“Mondelez” is the caproate name for the company that was once known as Kraft (And,
even earlier as General Foods.). What does it mean? Extra Bonus: Who was elected as the
first ever President of Russia?

When you think about it,
a mighty homerun blast is an easy 7-8 iron, even for me. An average home run is
a wedge.
The Saint Louis Park City
suburb of Minneapolis, represented by congresswoman Ilhan Omar has abandoned
the Pledge of Allegiance before City Council meetings: “We concluded that in order
to create a more welcoming environment to a diverse community we are going to
forego the pledge before every meeting.”. The last time I Googled Saint Louis
Park City, I found it still within the borders of the USA. A snip here, chunk
there and pretty soon you’re living in a foreign land run by those who have no understanding
of America. Nibble. Nibble.
Last Night CBS
premiered a new program called “Love Island” that instantly must have become
the front runner in the lowest acceptable moral standards race. With shows like
this, no wonder parents are having trouble raising teen agers.
Oh, that’s right,
the entertainment industry keeps on assuring us that their programming, music
and movies have no effect on peoples minds and attitudes, nor national morals
and principles. So everything is ok.
I watched only the opening credits
atop sensationalized visuals which were so outrageous that I even went into
another room to watch the baseball All Star game.
Beauty is in the eye
of the beer holder.
Joe Biden promised
yesterday to reduce prison incarcerations by 50%. The dem voter base just keeps
on getting bigger and bigger, now with criminals joining unlawful entrants.
Heard in a millennial’s bar:
Men are like parking places. All the good ones are taken and the rest are handicapped.
Around here,
those planes that always appear to be struggling pulling giant ad banners are
all of a sudden having a tough time staying in air. Disconcerting for backyard
cookouts.
Stocks went up because
of uncertainty in the economy. The markets as a rule don’t like uncertainty,
except when uncertainty breeds certain potential pleasant reactions like rate
cuts.
Has there ever been
a more vengeful, bitter, hateful crowd than the current crop of activist liberals?
The Answer:
The founder of EDS wrote all of his speeches. 1. “The
activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who
cleans up the river.” 2. “If you see a snake, just kill it. Don’t appoint a committee
on snakes.” 3. “In business, people are held accountable. In Washington, nobody
is held accountable. In business, people are judged by results, In Washington, people
are measured by their ability to get reelected.” 4. “Lead and inspire people.
Don’t try to manage and manipulate people. Inventories can be managed, but people
must be led.” 5. “So many people spend their lives chasing money and end up as
the richest men in the cemetery. I don’t want to be like that.” And you thought
all he ever said was, “Giant sucking sound”! Bonus: Mondelez means absolutely nothing,
refers to nothing, stands for noting, It is complete “nonsense word” made up by
employees. Extra Bonus: Of course, you all knew that Boris Yeltsin was Russia’s
first President. He was highly regarded for winning vodka drinking contests.
When life gives
you melons, you maybe dyslexic.
I think the Tids
are in the summer doldrums.
