Doin’ what comes naturally

Today's Tids Issue 4,479

Calm down:

Universal accusations and declarations are probably one of the worst, most illogical societal trends of this century. Did I just make a universal pronouncement? Shoot me.

My doctor just told me, “You look good.” “Keep on doing what you are doing.” Hmmm. Its Cheetos 24/7!

Too often I find my lost glasses under my foot.

I don’t think is obtuse to think that perhaps we are undergoing major climatic cycle similar to centuries past. Just because we are now a planet vastly populated by so-called “civilized” people instead of dinosaurs, it doesn’t mean that the natural evolution of a planet floating in space doesn’t continue. So, while Global warming and whatever the name of the current political phenomena maybe called, what evidence there is may just be part of an overwhelming unstoppable natural force. And for some extremists to put a finite time limit on its ultimate outcome, scaring teens and young adults, is just plain laugh out loud funny. LOL – Loonies On left.

Someday an AMA report will say avocados are bad for your health, and California will collapse into the Pacific Ocean.

The reason the founders decided to make a Supreme Court appointment a job for life was to get politics out of it. Many an exalted solon has grown beyond him or herself while pondering the immensity of their decisions.

Amy Klobuchar may be the most reasonable of all Dem candidates.

Star Studded Garbage department:

You probably didn’t know, but Sinead O’Conner didn’t know either. She has just said, “I’ve always been a Muslim, but didn’t know it.” Really! Then she went onto add, “White people are disgusting”. Of which I could say, yes if you Sinead are the paragon of white people, yes. Celebrity mouths should be duck taped. Quack. Quack.

I could never have imagined that there were so many Isadora Duncan fans. But there are and they all rushed in to tell me that her scarf wasn’t caught on the steering wheel but in the passenger side rear wheel. Yes, the dancing star was extravagant in a long flowing sick scarf, obviously much too long a flowing. As Gertrude stein said of the incident: “Affectations can be dangerous”!

There is new multi-show, big money winner on Jeopardy, Jason Zuffranieri, but he isn’t as exciting or interesting as James Holzhauer.

If the left wasn’t so outrages, if the the concepts weren’t so obviously political, if their weren’t so many waiting to make piles of dough off of alternate energy schemes, I might look at the accusations more seriously.

Today’s celebrity affectations are much more annoying than long silk scarfs. And actually, more dangerous to society.

Animals have been expelling gas on earth for millions of years, and now all of a sudden, vegans want to ban them. Lunacy.

Speaking of AMA reports on what’s good and bad for your health, in just about a month they have reversed their claim that adults should stop talking aspirins. They now say the little white pellets are quite good for people who have had heart attacks or who are in cardiac risk groups.

The Answer:

The first Secretary of Defense was appointed by harry s. Truman in 1947. It was James V. Forrestal. Bonus: Some of you may know that Kevin Clash was the voice of Elmo on Sesame Street. Extra Bonus: Barr’s avocation is bagpiping!

Tuesdays are good days. Make the most of them.
