Glaze or Amaze

 


Today's Tids Issue 5,562 

Limelight. 

 

So, once again it is the statistician's dreams versus the people. The CPI (Consumer Price Index) just came out and it indicates the slowest rise of inflation since 2020. Hallelujah. Or is it. What that government standard doesn't include are the daily needs voters feel in their wallets, Food and Energy. So, the government puppets will tout controlling inflation while the people who count wonder if they can afford what they need most.

The world is walking on eggshells as Western foes strike alliances. There is disruption and a volatile head for the Soviet Union, And dictatorial turmoil everywhere.  Tonight, after the big Nato Summit the President of the USA will speak in a press conference about the challenges and solutions that came out of a busy couple of days of meetings. To help us sort out all the vagaries of a dangerous world. But the vultures will only be interested in one aspect of this press Conference. Will the Prez stumble. Fat, dumb and happy is the new world anthem. 

 

The Question: 

Shelly Duval just died. Quick, what was her big movie success.  

 

The Headlines: 

--Inflation Rate Falls in June for First time since 2020; Investors Weighing Effects of Apparent Cooling Inflation.; Markets Floating Early, Nasdaq Crashes Late. 

--Dem Campaign Managers have begun Polling Voters to Determine Kamala’s Strength Against Trump  

--Biden Operatives Meeting with Senators following Pelosi Remarks. --Goldman Analysts Voicing Concern over AI Spending Surges by Big tech.

I'm very happy about the Repub Congress voting in a law that would require proof of s citizenship to vote. Like Duh, why not! Why is this an issue. Citizens vote Non-citizens don’t vote. I don't get it. Why do some want to dilute the value of citizenship like inflation dilutes dollars.  

 

If it is too easy. there is less value.  

 

Every book is a coloring book if you hate librarians. MH 

 

It’s not very hard to make Moscow mad.  

 

One of the great joys of summer is planting vegetables and watching them grow. Not that I would ever eat any, but it's nice to watch them grow and know somebody else will be happy. 

 

Whenever my artist girlfriend is sad I let her draw things on my body. I gave her a shoulder to crayon. 

 

As you can see, I'm on a Mitch Hedberg kick now. Sometimes you just gotta do strangeness,  

 

The Answer: 

Shelly played opposite Jack Nicholson in The Shining. Right after that she was cast as Olive Oyl in the Popeye movie starring Robin Williams. But she will always be remembered for hiding in rooms at the Overlook Hotel. 

 

The Biden News Conference comes right during dinner and may interrupt the Wheel of Fortune. What kind of country do we live in anyhow. 

 

See you tomorrow. Imagine the spinmeister wrangling to which you may waken.
