Pick-a- little, Talk-a-little.


Today's Tids Issue 4,877

Rumors or Facts:

 

How do we find a world of happiness?

One that’s free of constant crappiness

One devoid of bickering and hate

Where all of us enter into rational debate

With open minds, eyes, ears, for a start.

To help us see what’s in another’s heart.

 

It seems to me that people spend more energy trying to find something wrong than perhaps learning from something that’s right.

 

I told my wife a man is like wine. It gets better with age. She locked me in the s-cellar.  --Rodney Dangerfield.

 

You are going to be seeing a lot of quotes form the Bolton book all over the network news for the next several weeks. It began last night as ABC pumped up its Sunday interview. I had read what they were reporting. A lot of it will be embarrassing to the man for sure, but a lot of what I saw wasn’t terribly startling. But it will be after being reported 24/7.

 

Rex Tillerson for President.

 

The Question:

Name five songs from the Music Man.

Vera Lynn died last night at the age of 103. Hers was the voice of hope for millions of WWII Brits hovering neath the constant barrage from hi the evil Hitler’s V2 rockets. Hers was the thrilling voice that awoke the courage in men’s and women’s souls, that they would never give in; that they would rise to come out and fight back, and fight and fight and fight again until the monster was driven into black bunkers to die. Hers was a voice that was as comforting as the bombs were loud.

 

Younger people seem to be thinking, I don’t need a mask because I am healthy. But it is exactly the opposite. Too many in the youthful sector of the country congregate without wearing masks in close groups thus becoming more suspectable to be a Virus carryer. They of all people should be masked to help stop the spreading to other who even they deem more at risk. I don’t think some people get it. So, what’s new.

 

I saw a black pastor named James David Manning saying that until blacks stop blaming whites and slavery for all of their problems, and start looking within, there will never be real growth for their communities. And the division will never heal. And also, he said, until whites stop enabling that status out of fear and assumed guilt, the black community will continue to struggle.

 

See, the real dilemma for Repubs and conservatives is -- how do you stop our country from being run by Joe Biden and an all Dem Congress and still retain your dignity?

 

I program my DVR to only record first run programming. Lately it isn’t recording anything.

 

My wife is such a bad cook, if we leave dental floss in the kitchen, the roaches hang themselves. –RD

 

Is it possible for police to get justice intis latest version of the USA?

 

The Answer:

I suspect that everybody knew one was 78 Trombones. Others were Ya Got trouble, Shipoopi, Gary Indiana, Lida Rose, Marion the Librarian, Pickalittle, Till There Was You, Good Night My Someone and Iowa Stubborn. Happy humming!

 

Can you ever bring that happy play back to Broadway in these times? There just has to be something socially wrong with it. Right? Or at least somebody, somewhere is looking to find something wrong with it. Or maybe it just isn’t chic to do something that is just simply happy. Maybe the new normal is red faced people not listening. Temples pulsing with rage. Not finding little thing in life to love. To feel calm.

 

The stock markets is nearing pre-Covid levels. But the economy is far from it. Now, that is perplexing. But, what isn’t these days.

 

Isn’t amazing how quickly o0inions can vacillate? “My wife was afraid of the dark. Then she saw me naked and now she’s afraid of the light.”  --Rodney Dangerfield.
