Today's Tids Issue 4,977
Take me to a leader?:
We all live in our own world of experiences. That is why polls often don’t seem to make sense. But good polls are generally pretty representative -- Like people do like things at like times in their lives.
A reader asked me once why I let the Tids occasionally drift off into ethereal romance. It’s simple. It’s nice and it is a pleasant part of life. The Tids tries to be part of life.
As opposed to politico which isn’t a pleasant part of life, but we have to talk about it here regardless.
How to solve the Afghan chaos problem: Hold a news conference on free Government booster shots.
The Question:
What are The Top ten Best Romantic Comedy Movies of all time?
The Headlines:
--Dow Futures Look Like Another Kick In The Butt For Investors; Fed Glooms It Up In Wednesday Session; Delta Angst Contributes To Cloudy Mood; Ali Baba, China Techs Sink To Low As Beijing Plans Regulatory Moves.
--US Gulf Coast New Covid Hotspot; Mississippi Top Doc Says Covid Worse Now Than Ever In State.
--Giant Caldor Fire Near Lake Tahoe showing No Signs Of Diminishing.
--National Security Experts See Afghan As Becoming Terrorist Playground Again; Taliban Shooting Protestors, Citizens Trying To Flee Country,
You have to know that there is something seriously amiss with Biden’s Afghan exit screwup. RI Lockstep Dems have broken stride with party talking points, which only happens about once a half a century.
Despite all of the local sports publicity for the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins, the most outstanding New England team is the Revolution, the pro soccer team firmly entrenched in first place. It is owned by the Pats. Local sports talk lunkheads don’t know how to talk about soccer. I don’t either. But, I’m willing to learn.
So much for a kinder, gentler Taliban.
Life used to be simple. Now I have to work at finding how to get a booster shot.
Maybe we need to get back to the one person in charge concept again. Too many pols and bureaucrats with opinions in the Afghan mess. Eisenhower was in charge of D-Day and it worked. Marshall was in charge of the Berlin Airlift and it worked. McArther was in charge of rebuilding Japan and it worked.
A reader wrote last night to place the name of Budy Hackett into the running for Funniest Person Ever. Good choice. The problem with cultural “Non-Scientifc” polls common on the internet is often that they tend to be generational, one dimensional, regardless of how many vote.
23 Tids before 5,000. If I manage to stay awake long enough, that should bring us to September 21 for the big finale. That means I will be well over 100 for the next mark of 10,000. If you think there are typos now, wait until you see what my bony fingers produce during the next 20 years.
The Answer:
Number one is “When Harry Met Sally. Next is The Philadelphus Story (1940) (Later Turned into Musical High Society), and then Broadcast news (1987), His Girlr Friday (1940), Clueless (1995), Moonstruck (1987), Say Anything (1989), The Apartment (1960), Bull Durham (1988) and at #10 – Groundhog Day (1993). The next five are Annie Hall (1977), It Happened One Night (1934), Pillow Talk (1959) and Princess Bride (1987) and The Lady Eve (1941).
It will be a sad day if The Tids ever loses it sense of romance. There are just some things that are just more important than other things.
Of course, the NE Pats play the Iggles tonight, and that’s pretty important.
