Today's Tids Issue #2,596
Opening Stuff:
For all of you who are upset over 0-Man's endorsement of Gay Marriage, don't worry -- "This is my last election and I can be more flexible when it's over". Or, better yet, vote him out so he won't have to anguish over flip-flopping.
I guess Putin didn't get or believe Obama's message through Medvedev, because he just cancelled his visit to the US for the Big Economic Conference and a much anticipated meeting with the Prez. I don't think he believes O's stance on the missile program.
Remember this: Republicans are the Pro-Legal Immigration Party. Marco Rubio said it, and I agree. He and many Repubs in Congress are working on a real Immigration Modernization plan that is high on all immigrants who come legally; does not reward illegal acts but also takes care of children of illegals in way that will make them proud members of the US society.
The Question: What are the estimated IQ's for Albert Einstein, Madonna and John F. Kennedy? What are the 3 other "Q's" by which a person overall, above just intelligence, can be rated?

American Idol: The Judges are squarely in the corner for Joshua. I think he is talented, but sometimes he goes a little too over the top for me. Jessica may be the best talent of all, but she doesn't sing to the voters as well as she does to her future record producers. Phillip is Phillip an he will find his audience. Me, I get tired of him. After her first rousing performance, Holly had the chance be mentioned at the top of the list. But her second song may have pushed her out. I'll miss her singing and song selection in the final two programs
The Unions in RI don't seem to understand why in order to survive, the City of Providence must eliminate or reign in Colas (Cost of Living Adjustments.) For instance a Fire Chief who retired in 1991 with a salary of $63,510, now after 21 years of 6% Cola increases earns $196,813! Say what? I think that says it all about out of control public employee union contracts. The party should be over, but I doubt it in this state.
Boasting Department:
Lehigh U is up to #6 in NCAA D1 Lacrosse rankings. The Top 15 Are: Loyola MD, Massachusetts, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Lehigh, Colgate, Virginia, Maryland, Princeton, North Carolina, Yale, Fairfield, Cornell and Denver. The the sport is booming, biggest growth sport in high schools, and the traditional landscape is changing.
How can an Atheist be disturbed by a religious icon when they don't believe anything about it or if it is even meaningful at all. It's being deeply offended by nothing.
I see where several states have asked libraries to remove the book "Fifty Shades..." from the shelves because it is pornographic and does not fit community standards. I remember when the Catholic Church banned the movie "The Moon is Blue". I was about 12-13, and me and my friends used to stand under the theater marquee wondering what would happened to us if we went inside. It was a scary time!
Here's an update on the story yesterday about the Providence Airport TSA Agents finding parts of a gun in a Teddy Bear and then letting the owners go. Actually they found parts of a gun in a teddy bear, a bunny and a mouse. The reason they let the man and his son go was because the estranged wife unbeknownst to the son and of course the husband, put them there so hubby would get arrested. It was her latest brilliant strategy in a custody fight.
I don't read anything that AARP sends me. First, it's because I don't trust their politics at all, but mainly becasue I haven't agreed that I'm old enough yet.
If you were near John O. Pastore's grave yesterday, you would have heard rumbling and a movement of the earth as the great Senator started spinning rapidly. (Note to Non-RI'ers: Pastore was one of the great Senators who actually had principles as opposed to the weaklings we have today.)
All of these sensational news making statements by Obama, like the most recent Gay Marriage announcement, are mainly there to take the focus off the real problem, an unimaginable deficit and debt. And for that he has no answers.
It was nice to see that Judge roll back the decision against Honda over MPG claims for their Hybrid. It was basically a lawyer playing the word game while the Judge understood the Intent game.
If you are a Republican, remember that when a Democrat calls you a hater, racist or grandmother killer, they are basically trying to start a meaningless discussion to hide their own major inadequacies.
The Answer:
JFK only had a 115 IQ compared to Madonna's 140 and Einstein's 160. But the assassinated president scored high on EQ, "Emotional Intelligence". A High EQ fosters empathy and an understanding of people. MQ is Moral Intelligence and it deals with integrity, responsibility, sympathy and forgiveness. BQ, Body Intelligence is about what you know about your body and how you take care of it. I think you can see that a person with a medium IQ coupled with a strong MQ and EQ can take any body a long way; Even if they will never be able to produce a drug that cures cancer.
I've long been in favor of a Temporary worker visa program. One element of a plan for this would be a fair deduction from pay for medical treatment if it becomes necessary.
