36 Hours, 58 minutes 10 seconds and counting.



Today's Tids Issue 4,554
So, what's with all of the excitement:

My children would know it was time to put me away on that day when I said, “Hey Kids, let’s go down to Times Square and watch the ball drop!”.

Here is one of the ongoing oddities in the human disconnection. Let’s say I write about some major dem hypocrites. A Dem will write back pointing out Repub conflicted truth-sayers. And sooner or later we would be in a near fist fight about who owns the bigger hypocrite! But, wouldn’t be better if the Dem and the Repub said in unison, yeah, hypocrites are really bad for trust in America, yours and mine equally. Why don’t we just vote them out get a new batch. Less tainted.

When asked by a publisher when his short story would be ready, the author answered, “It won’t be long.”

Hey…we’re changing a decade! Whatever that means. I guess it’s important to writers who review decades.

The Question:
Who is Yvonne Elliman?

When I grow up, I want to be a graphics package designer for a Tech Products company.

I have often wondered why some say that voter ID cards disadvantage blacks and Hispanics but not whites.

When all cars go to plug-in electric, it won’t diminish state’s hunger for the taxes derived from gasoline purchases. Progress may be continually made to achieve angelic objectives, but the Governments thirst for money never ends.

Could it be that “moderate” darling, soothing sounding Pete Buttigieg is the most draconian progressive of them all?

Some students pour over their lessons while others just give them a preflunktory glance.

The Local big newspaper “The Providence Journal” is reaffirming it’s a original slogan of nearly 200 years ago: “Faithful reporting of Passing news.” They acknowledge that spinning the news has become an acceptable trend among many journalists. and they don’t like being a part of it. I’ve noticed their shift back to reality myself. And they say, they have noticed their concerted shift too since now they receive hate mail from both sides. Smaller big city newspapers can’t afford to divorce half of their potential subscribers, and I think they have seen that. But I’ll get letters, like, “Why are you supporting that rag?” For the comics, of course.

If you watched the semifinals of the NCAA Football playoffs, you enjoyed two sensational efforts by the QB’s of LSU and Clemson  -- Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence. Heisman winner Burrows only threw for 7 TD’s and ran for one more. Clemson beat a favored OSU when Lawrence drove his team with an all-Pro style drive of four bullet passes, 96 yards in under 2 minutes. Lawrence also ran 67 yards for another TD. LSU will be favored, But Lawrence has never lost a college game. Could be one of the best, and I’m picking Clemson. Of course, the world could end by the time they get to it.

Ironically, yesterday was the anniversary of the 1978 Gator Bowl between Ohio State and Clemson. Remember that one. It was when Emperor of Ohio Woody Hayes punched out a Clemson Back, Charlie Bowman, after he intercepted an OSU Pass. Maybe yesterday was the “Get Woody” Bowl for Clemson.

I hear that the San Fran City Council held an emergency meeting to change the San Andreas fault to – Trump’s Fault. Do you think that is true?

The Answer:
Well, I remember Yvonne Elliman for her roll as Mary Magdalene in the original Cast of Jesus Christ Superstar. And of course, her haunting hit, “I don’t know how to love him.”. She went on to make many albums and had another huge hit with a song originally written for the Bee Gees “If I can’t have you”. As a young performer she got into drugs because she admired Grace Slick. Her last big claim to fame was being arrested with her husband at a Hawaii Airport for carrying in Drugs and Paraphernalia.

I have no idea why I asked a question about Yvonne Elliman. But, I did like that song of hers.

So, today is the beginning of the last funky week of the decade. Will people get serious about going back to work Thursday, Jan 2, with a weekend just 2 days away?
