Today's Tid's the Season, Issue 4,798
Don't be elfish:
Alarmed scientists warn Covid could restore sense of taste during fruitcake season.
Yesterday’s Tids was full of Puns. Today, I’m going to get serious. Hmmm. Why?
Yesterday in a speech in Georgia, Prez-elect Joe warned that if Republicans kept the Senate, they would block his agenda. Exactly Joe. That’s what the nearly other half of the country wants.
BTW, Wall Street has already priced in a divided government. If Repubs lose Georgia, it could be the wild, wild West for stocks in early where stocks might drop significantly.
In fact, a lot of the surprising market rise has been based on pricing in hope, like the prospects of a vaccine recovery etc. We are coming into that fruition period, where if hopes aren’t met, we could see a downturn. That’s the gamble now in the big Casino.
The Question:

I see where Joe picked Pete as his Transportation Secretary. Word out of South Bend is that Pete had a lot of problems just fixing pot holes.
If Prez picked Pete with a pile of punishing pothole problems, how punishing will problem potholes be to provincial panoramic pikes?
Christmas has me feeling Santamental.
Joe Biden ran as the unity presidential candidate. Now from what I am reading he must have been talking about unifying the disparate sectors of the Democratic Party, because it certainly doesn’t appear that he is reaching out to the other side of America.
Christmas Crisis: PETA protesters hurl paint at people buying real fir trees.
While you weren’t looking, Vanguard’s Total Stock Market Index Fund was the first of its kind to pass $1 trillion in assets. Yay for Vanguard, one of the best run operations around. One of their basic long-time secrets, Vanguard doesn’t milk customers with high fees.
All you have to know about unity in America is to read “Letters to the Editor” in the newspaper. Nobody wants to let go of their ideas regardless of new information.

I like silent nights.
