Opening Stuff:
How evil is "60 Minutes"...bringing out a report against sugar the week before Easter. It is criminal. I think Kids Twitter Nation should organize a protest rally and Cadbury Egg the CBS world headquarters. I would be more than happy to abet, sitting in protest with a box of chocolate and caramel on beautiful and expensive West 57th Street. Go kids, go.
Just in case you are interested, Newport RI was named by Forbes Mag as Prettiest Town in America. Pictures of pretty town regularly posted at todaystids.blogspot.com.

Finally, my skinny ties and wide lapels are back in style. Or, was that wide ties and skinny lapels? O well, I'll just keep wearing what I wear and someday somebody will come up and say. Cool man, Cool. Or, don't they say "Cool" any more? Of course, the key to tie survival is eating gravy carefully.
The Tids has always sought to upgrade the world's appreciation for good grammar. Let's examine "Complete" and "Finished". They appear to be the same, but are quite different. For instance, If a man marries the right woman he is complete. If a man marries the wrong woman he is finished. But, if the right woman finds him with the wrong woman, he is completely finished. So there you have it. Viva le differance'.
Our "Republican to the Core" Governor Chafee-Lite has just endorsed Mr. Sleazy Congressman Cicilini for re-election. I guess when you are owned by the unions you'll endorse anybody.
Yesterday the President warned the Supreme Court to be careful or else. He said it would be an "unprecedented, extraordinary step" to overturn the health Care law. OK, let's review basic grammar school Civics. It appears that this is where this President needs to start. This President who only seems to believe that the President has any power. OK, "The Supreme Court is a separate but equal branch of the US government. It's purpose as defined by the Constitution is to act as a check on the Executive and Legislative branches. One of it's three main functions is to 'Determine the constitutionality of Federal laws.'." Maybe the President has a problem with the Supreme Court because it is a "uniquely American institution". What's really extraordinary here is a President threatening a Supreme Court, not the supreme court doing its job.
Oh, it appears that the Admin and/or the Dem National Committee is calling on Ex-Prez Clinton to add credibility in Obama's fight against the Supreme Court. Clinton? Credibility? I don't get it.
Statistics say that 1 in 5 American kids are going hungry. Michelle says that American kids are over weight.
Let's be honest, Jaguar is making a great design comeback now that it isn't in the hands of Ford's accountants. This flagship of the India Auto Company Tata.is beginning to look like the special car it had been before Ford turned into a stretched out Focus. And, you can bet that Volvo will rediscover it's distinctive side again, now that it is out of Ford and under a Chinese management. They'll just steal a good idea or two form BMW or Audi.
Deep pocket investors are buying depressed homes at super low prices. It is expected that will increase dramatically rental opportunities -- until the market's rebound and houses can be sold. So the next great American tragedy in a couple of years will be people being forced out if they can't afford to buy. And, it's all because some dim bulb in the government decided to find a way that everybody should own a home whether or not they could afford it. Mixing socialism with capitalism will never work.
Almost Near: Chapter 67. --Samantha sat in her hospital bed just drinking in the smiles of her children. Rebecca was in hospital garb like her mom, being admitted after her ordeal with Tucker. The two were hanging on to their mom's arms like they would to branches on the edge of a cliff.
Samantha understood how much further she would have to go. How she would have to sort out all of the people she had met in her many lives. But that would be the easy part. She was still coming to grips with the reality of her life which she discovered the moment she saw Tucker with her daughter. It triggered the memory she must have suppressed for so many years. The reason she ran away from Tommy Lambert, her finance'. She saw clearly now that day when walking by a play ground, Tommy Lambert fondling a nine year old girl. She remembered the horror of her own father watching her undress, his eyes never leaving her young body. Her mother trying to step in between them. But she was never strong enough. How she walked fearfully through her own house. How Tommy was her only safe harbor, her hope. All of those years when Tommy and she had been best friends, destined to marry and be a perfect family. Like the one she never had. And now she discovered that the man she was to marry was as perverted as her father. Maybe even worse than her father.
So that night she wrote a note to Tommy Lambert saying she couldn't marry him. She packed a few clothes, found as much money as she had, money saved for a wedding. She drove to Portsmouth, and got on a bus. She didn't care where it was going.
The Answer:
1. ICloud with 100 Million subscribers is largest. Next is potential IPO fave Dropbox (50Mil). Microsoft Skydrive, box, and Amazon cloud drive (music only) round out the bigs. 2. CVS/Caremark with $56 Bil is the largest followed by Walgreen ($45B). Medco Health Solutions/Express Scripts ($40B), Wal-Mart ($17.4B) and Rite-Aid $17.1B.If the President can't seem to comprehend the significance of the Supreme Court, how are we supposed to believe that voters can grasp the significance of real issues.
Michelle Obama should really be against illegal immigration. The ethnic group with the greatest percentage of fat kids is Mexican. Do you think she'll ever ban Tacos? Not in an election year. Here's the dope on percentages of overweight kids: White - Male 31.9; Female 29.5. Black -- Male 30.8; Female 39.2. Mexican - Male 40.8; Female 35.
