I’ll pay attention when it gets interesting.



Today's Tids Issue 4,490
Parrying to nowhere:

Dick and Jane are having a difficulty in boiling down today’s political dilemmas into simple understandable terms.
Jane: I see red.
Dick: Those are Dems Angry faces.
Jane: I see redder.
Dick: Those are Repubs angrier faces.
Jane: I see accusations.
Dick: I see counter accusations’
Jane: I want to play with my dolls.
Dick: You can’t play with dolls anymore. But, I can.
Jane: Oh, that’s part of the problem, isn’t it?

There is a consensus after elections. 100% of Americans think that 50% of Americans have lost their minds.

I don’t know about you, but Joe Biden sure looks real guilty of something to me.

Global warming at least gives outdoor restaurants a longer selling season.

You know, regardless of what people predetermine about the Tids’ content, I really do seek middle ground in these outrageous political discussions. It is the only way to be helpful. But, alas, some people see helpfulness as hindrance.

The Consumer Sentiment Index has been a reliable indicator of economic stability, or not. Unfortunately, today, at least from this person’s analytical side of the brain, it appears to be approaching lower levels similar to 2007-2008, 1999-2001, 1989-1990. This is not comforting. In addition, one regraded indicator popped-up today – people are showing an increasing reluctance to plan purchases for large household items.

The problem with a lot of these activist attack groups is that it’s all or nothing.

The Question:

I think Hong Kong residents are approaching that fine line between sensible demands and the possibility for outright overwhelming retaliation by China.

“When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators don’t know whether to answer ‘present’, or ‘not guilty’.” –Teddy Roosevelt

I personally feel that it is just plain lunacy to interrupt a happy life simply because a item in the paper or a squib on TV says some food is bad for you. Experience would tell you that what’s bad generally becomes good in the future. Much of all food news often the result research and publicity program by somebody, some group, some company with a stake the good or bad news.

Play nice music and relax.

One nice piece that will tickle your heart and mellow your senses is Samael Barber’s Agnes Dei.

Speaking of a steak in the food news, did you see this week where meat is now considered good for you?

“Do they have restaurants in Japan where Americans cook in front of you with lawn chairs and a grill?” Our readers are so inquisitive.

What does “organic” flannel mean. What does inorganic flannel look like?

You can’t get away from flagrant politics even in your favorite escapism entertainment medium. NCIS had a great story going last night –one of their better ones. And it included the ever-lovable character Ziva. But I’m thinking now that California Dems have taken over, and inserted pro Dem platform planks ala the suffocating California government. In one instance, a terrorist villainess was asked of she was thrown out as leader of a splinter Hezbollah group because of the glass ceiling? Shoot me. They went on to discover that two of the bad men were not middle eastern but of course White Supremist. You can’t escape the rampage of socialism.

“They don’t call me Tyrannosaurus Sex for nothing.” --Ted Kennedy.

I think too many chefs learn too much in culinary school.

A lot of politicians never look guilty on the surface because they have no moral compass to inhibit them. Their only compass points to which heart strings to play in order to get voters emotionally involved with their points of view.

Some people are looking forward to a mega, international classic car event in this town this weekend. I’m only seeing too many people and clogged streets.

I was curious about standup comedians in the mid-19th century. I found there were many published jokes of times. One poem read: “
“She was not worried in the House of prayer,
Because her soul’s condition weakened fear,
But, ah! Her perturbation it was great
When’er she thought her bonnet was not on straight.”

40 years ago various people looked at the USA state of politics and thought that no good, quality person would eve run again. It was too ugly and bitter. That people with political ideas not conforming to the views of ingrained political leadership would be beaten down. That Abe Lincoln would not win because he was not a good product for television. Oh, one of those observers in an interview with Rona Barrett. was DT Trump.

He also said 39 years ago coming off the Jimmy Carter presidency,
“We’ve got to make America great again.”

The Answer:
Five of the Top Ten NFL 2000’s QB’s are still playing. They are Tom Brady at #1, Drew Brees (3), Aaron Rogers (5), Ben Roethlisberger (7) and Phillip Rivers at #8. The rest are Peyton Manning (2), Brett Favre (4), Kurt Warner (6), Michael Vick (9) and Tony Romo at #10. Michael Vick? Tony Romo? Bonus: There may be arguments here. Number 1 is Guess? – The old white supremist symbol himself, Tom Brady. 2 is Aaron Rogers followed by Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, Cam Newton, Patrick Mahomes, Phillip Rivers and Matthew Stafford. The next five are Eli Manning, Carson Wentz, Derek Carr, Jared Goff and Andy Dalton. In addition to Wentz and Mahomes, other young guns on the rise are Marcus Mariota (16), Deshaun Watson (17), Dak Prescott (18), Baker Mayfield (22), Jimmy Garoppolo (24), James Winston (27, Mitchell Trubisky (28), Kyler Murray (36), Josh Rosen (37), Josh Allen (38)) and one of last year’s top Draft choices, Dwayne Haskins at 43. (With his win over Dallas last week, you might include as a young gun former hot shot until injuries, Terry Bridgewater (25).
