Today's Tids Issue 2,595
Opening Stuff:
Do you think that most famous line in the movie "Mrs. Robinson" -- "Plastic" -- meant credit cards?
Did you hear about the primary in WV last night where Federal Prison Convict Keith Judd got 40% of the vote in a Democrat primary against Obama. On another primary note, in the primary to establish a candidate to run in the recall race against Governor Walker, the candidate endorsed and supported by the unions lost badly to Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Latest polls have Barrett and Walker 50-50.
Today, two planes were stropped from taking off due to bomb threat reports. Without igniting one bomb, the al-Qaida and fellow terrorists are effectively keeping Americans on edge.
The Question:
Double Day 1. Name three famous characters brought to us by one of the true funny persons of our20th Century -- Edgar Bergen. 2. Some times I feel these "Q's" are a generation or two beyond some readers. So I looked for younger names and came across 27 year old "TV Personality" Aubrina Partridge. I haven't the slightest idea of who she is or what she does. Do you?
The Headlines:
--Markets Open Down Again; New Survey Shows Wary Retail Investors Still On Sideline After Three Years.
--Greece Indigestion Still Controlling World.
--Euro Sinks Spooking World Wide Investment; Euro Ills Override Positive Economic Data From Germany.
--Latest Caught Bomber Was Saudi Double Agent; Agent Says Nobody Was Ever In Harms Way.
--Tea Party Effort Ousts Sensible Lugar.
--Audi Outsells BMW In April For First Time In Year
--Edwards And Clements Trials Wear On; Judge Seen Dozing.
Did you ever have your dreams answered? I have! A new deli that actually meets the standards described by the name "deli", opened up the street from me. It is called "Deli", and they live up to the old time meaning of a great deli. For instance, they, cook their own roast beef every morning. I had a piled high RB sandwich with horseradish sauce and cheese and it was melt in you mouth delicious. Lots of good looking salads and an owner who seems to take customers seriously. The owner has a second shop in South Philly -- as in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. -- where food is taken very seriously. Strange but true.
The Star Spangled Banner is Country music!
You've read the headlines, "Put a new twist into summer grilling"; "Quick and easy dinners with a spark". Well, as far as I can read, here's what they all are centered upon -- add nuts and berries and natural adornments. Instead of country fried steak with white pork gravy you're going to get pecan encrusted chicken with creamy yogurt sauce. Or instead of pork chop with Merlot brown gravy sauce you get fat trimmed pork medallions with raspberry, balsamic vignettes sauce over beet greens. Help me! By the time I reach a nursing home I'll be dying from refusing to eat health foods. And who needs health food when your 105 anyhow. Nurse Jane will be saying, "Eat your damn blueberries or I won't type your Tids for you!"
"Eco" is one of those words you can't use any longer as an abbreviation. Environmentalists who think everything is about them anyhow, will assume anything incorporating the word Eco is all about them too, instead of the other side of the coin where Eco means Economics. The two Ecos are incredibly co-dependent, except that environmentalists don't understand the need for balancing a solid economy with rampant ecology. I think there's something intelligent in here somewhere.
Airline travel of today is a far cry from the consumer centric travel of yesteryear. But, once you figure out the new routines it's probably doable. The Nightly News programs only report on worst case scenarios.
Providence Airport TSA Agents stopped a guy and his son after finding a dis-assembled gun in the boy's teddy bear. They let the man and his son travel on, but wouldn't say why they could or who they were. All of this secrecy is food for an active Tids mind. I'm thinking he was a Providence hit man who complained that had to continue on to provide food for his family and medical care for his dying brother awaiting trial for extorting strip clubs. The TSA agent's brother-in-law happened to be costume manager at a strip club.
There's a big "Mixologist" competition coming to our fair state. In the newspaper, they showed a lot of favorite drinks for the competition. Before I could describe one particular drink, I had to look up "Muddling". It turns out it's your basic Pestle and Mortor concept with names changed to Muddler and Glass. In the bottom of the glass, this professional, award winning bartender muddles sliced beets, raspberries and beet greens. To that mess you add vodka, Pama (Pomegranate based Liqueur) and lemon juice. People drink that for fun? Here's my special recipe -- Make ice cubes out of Roses lime juice and pour vodka or gin over them. Or, forget the ice cubes.
The Answer:
Who hasn't or wouldn't laugh at Charlie McCarthey, Mortimer Snerd or Effie Klinker. Charlie is in the Smithsonian, and Bergens laughs are in the hearts of all Americans who heard his humor. 2. Aubrina Partridge (Born in 1985, Yikes) is indeed a TV personality -- starting as a model and then entering Reality TV first as a member of the original cast of the MTV series The Hills. Today she has her own reality show about the day to day life, called of all things - "Audrina"! I have no idea of what it is about, Probably health food.
Nuts and fruits. Nuts and Fruits. Wasn't there an old joke about that. You probably can tell it any more.
