Meatless tuesday.

Today's Tids Issue 2,293
Opening Stuff:


Calling all Vegans. Today is rush day for the Tids as in mad dash to get out of Maine before being buried in snow. So Today the daily mess will be like limp celery under hummus. Juicy red meat will be at minimum as peas and carrots add color but no substance like long pithy political comments and of course the ongoing saga of Samantha Jergans and now Tucker Loutitte. Hold you slings arrows til tomorrow

If you want some lessons on how to take over world, study Legos.

You know we live in a new world when there is the possibility that the Egypt protesters will look at the Google Regional Marketing Manager as their new leader going forward. How about the Tids guy?

The Question:
Everybody loves a Princess, right? Name the Ten best known Princesses of all time, fictional and real. Of course Cinderella may have become the greatest of al, but we only know that with her the shoe fit!

Remember when singers and entertainers had to stand barefaced on a stage without fireworks and technical alterations and sink or swim with the quality of their voice.

A major reason I dislike these thawing days in February is that it melts the ice filling the potholes.

The headline read: "Most people say weather affects their mood.". The first paragraph in the story says: "4 in 10 Americans say that the weather definitely affects their mood..." 4 in 10. Most. Most. 40%. Is it me or am I not up on new math. Just another example of how the media misleads. And besides, it isn't the weather that makes you feel bad. It's the media repeating over and over about how miserable your should feel when it is hot or cold.

I'll take Runsfield over any journalists any time any day of the week. Was his biggest problem howeer turned out to be embarrassing the Media who now will never give him the benefit of the doubt. Was there anybody better than Rummy at wading through inane questions?

Some thought it was bad in Romania when the government starting taxing witches for their fortune telling activity. Now,( this is funny) they could be thrown into jail if their predictions don't come true. I think there is s funny movie in there somewhere.

Funniest News Story of the Day:
But all oddities are not in Romania. The US has plenty including this Actual report about murder in upstate New York: The founder of a Muslim oriented New York television station was convicted Monday of beheading his wife in 2009 in the studio the couple had opened to counter negative stereotypes of Muslims..." Say what?!

And of course, there was the armed chicken who killed a spectator at a cock fight. Yes this is also true. A knife wielding rooster went after an innocent and stabbed him to death. Is PETA behind this and other animal revenge stories.

The Answer:
Who could forget Princess Leia in the highly publicized Star Wars. And of course there was Princess Di who died being chased by news people. The others are Xena, Disney's Tiana, Snow White Princess Grace, Princess Anne, Princess Margaret, Princess Zara Phillips and Salome. I'm sure you have many other favorites Jasmine,

I just know deep down in my mind there is one more thing I intended to write about the is morning, and it was actually funny. Enjoy your vegetables. Prime Ribs back tomorrow.
