Opening Stuff:
Is the large Goldman investment in FaceBook the start of the next big Wall Street bubble? If you feel that thinking may be a little premature hysteria I ask, has anybody heard of MySpace lately? I guess it just bothers my inner sensibility to learn that faceBook at $50 Billion is worth more than Boeing who actually creates something. While FaceBook's biggest asset is a fickle populace.
The chorus out of Washington from the 0-Man and echoed by the lowliest Congressional rep is "Republicans should put politics aside." Hmmm, this from a Prez who destroyed any possible chance of a workable non-partisanship government in the first hour of his first meeting after inauguration with the Repub leadership. What a crock. Actually, I hope the Repubs put politics aside, especially the politics of special interest government, and do what the people ask and what the Country needs.
It's starting to appear as though Brett Favre keeps on coming back because he can't find those massage therapists down on the farm in Mississippi.
24 hours til the first installment of the new Tids Serialized Novel. Excited yet?

Back to More Stuff:
If the Republican Party, and especially the Tea Party folks, want to maintain their credibility they must continually resist overreaching. While a majority of the people are firmly on their side, most of the people with printing presses and microphones aren't And public opinion can change over night. Hey, the Jersey Shore cast are cultural icons.
Ditto that for Sarah Palin. Overexposure, more than anything, provides more opportunities to say something or do something stupid. Or at least stupid in the eyes of those snakes lying in the grass ready to pounce.
A local guy named Andrew "Hull" was named Naval Sea Systems Scientist of the Year! Makes sense.
I think the Government beats up on corporations like Drug companies, because they want the people to think that Government has all of the answers so the people keeps on sending them money.
Actually, most governments thrive by creating boogieman, dragons to slay for the protection of the people. The Republicans picked out murderers like the extreme Islamic bombers, woman abusers like the Taliban and nuts with nukes like NK and Iran. the Democrats picked American businesses like drug companies and insurance companies.
People must be really tuckered out after the long week/weekend, because Sunday night while driving though normally active cities like Newport and Westerly I saw nary a person on a sidewalk nor a car on the street. I had the feeling that aliens had attacked both towns with an invisible gas and the people were in their homes lying on the floor. But then I thought about my overactive imaginations...as I rolled up the window and stopped breathing. Ooooooooooo-weeeeeeee-oooooooooo.
Why do people get so excited about truffles. they're only overpriced mushrooms.
The only 8-Track Tape I ever owned was Peter Frampton's Come Alive album. I played it regularly until wore out. "Show me the way..."
The Answer:
I guess seeing mushrooms growing in the ground, usually the most barren of ground, just doesn't appeal to me. The fact that they are basically tasteless and annoyingly squishy adds to their uselessness in my eyes. But...don't let me destroy your love for these favorites' of chefs. The most popular are Table mushrooms (Button), Shiitake (Balck), Porcini(PennyBun, Cep), Portabella, Chanterelle, Giant Puff Ball, Field Mushrooms (Meadow) and Morchella (Morel --sometimes toxic).
The End (Is near?):
Actually, what really bothers me is that you have two classifications of Mushrooms -- Edible and Dangerous to your health.
According to a new effort by Christians, I may only have five more months at most of putting out our beloved Tids. A loosely organized group of Christians are beating the Armageddon drum urging people to get ready for the end of civilization may 21. A spokesperson says "A lot of people might think, 'the end is coming, let's go party'. But we're commanded by Goid to warn people." But Mary Exley, a 32 year old ex Army veteran adds, "It better know when it comes so you will be safe.".
And... the reduction in size of the British pub's "Pint" is a government responsibility...how?
