Today's Tids Issue 2,716
Opening Stuff:
The Green Party
led by candidate Jill Stein is promoting the road to socialism and is
getting the microphone more often then in the past. They are unwavering
in their positions like
public owned banks or unabated Government spending and public employee
growth. But, their most striking proposal is a tax on assets or as they
call it, wealth. They want the Government to get a piece of the value of
what people already have, and for which income, capital gains or even
inheritance taxes have been paid. And they
don't contemplate simple logic in their considerations. They want it
with no compromises. It's all or nothing and they are putting more and
more people in places where they will have access to delivering their
message to more and more people. Hey, it's only fair. Right?
I hear that the Atheists of America are asking the ACLU to sue towns across the country to change traffic signals to lavender and orange as opposed to the Christmas significant Red and Green.
I played golf this morning. It was the only day of the week where the thermoeter looked like it might get out of the thirties. It was a great day. The good news was that the greens were finally devoid of leaves. But, putting this morning between icebergs was a bit of a problem
The Question:
What are considered the Top Five Movie Musicals of all time?
The Headlines:
--GHWB In Hospital; Seems Ok.
--Two Winners In $550Million Powerball Sold In Arizona And Missouri; Each Lump Sum Take Home After Taxes Would Be Acout$100Mil.
--UN Expected To Approve First Step Towards Statehood For Plaestine.
--North Korea Moving Forward With new Nuclear Reactor
--393 Thousand First Tome Applicants For Unemployment Bens; Down From Last Week But Well Above Recent Averages.
--Boehner After Geithner Meet: "No Substantive Progress In Two Weeks".
--Even With Black Friday, November A Week Month For Retail
When did humor stop making me laugh?
The Pigskin Prognosticator punted last week. Alas I got cocky and took a few calculated chances on teams like TB and Detroit and got kicked in the head while I was flat on my back. Our record improved to 111-62-1 for a percentage of 64%. Still plenty of room fro growth. And this week I see 9 of 16 games as pickems, or possible upsets. The "experts" still love NO and I'm not sold on Atlanta, but I'm taking the falcons at home in tonight's game. The rest of the tougher picks are Seat-Chi, Car-KC (Yes KC), Indy-Det, TB-Den, Cleve-Oak, Cinn-SD, Pitt-Balt and NYG-Wash. I reluctantly pick injured Chi, Carolina, Detroit City, Denver only becasue they are home, Cleveland to finally get rewarded for tough play, Cinncy in a squeaker, Balt only because of Pitts QB problem, and...and...the Giants? (My heart says Skins). The rest of the winners are NE, GB, SF, Houston, NY Jets, Buff and Dallas (Romo can't screw up this one...can he?) Another hold your breath weekend. And lets hope the refs are allowed to use their brains and not allow a non-touchdown that probably decided a game.

Most of the old factories
of a once vigorous Providence RI are now filled with doctors offices
living off of medicare and struggling Artists looking for grants.
A new Gallop Poll Shows That 53% of Democrats and Dem leaners have a favorable view of Socialism. 75% say they have a favorably view of Big Government. Of course, that's just the news that implies we are moving to commie land. A closer look shows that both Repubs and Dems like quite a bit Free Enterprise, Small Business and Entrepreneurs. The key to all of these stats is that the like Socialism number is getting bigger.
''You know who was in town this weekend, went to a Yankee game? Sarah Palin ... One awkward moment, though, during the game. Maybe you heard about it, maybe you saw it on one of the highlight reels, one awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game. During the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.'' —David Letterman . That's not funny.
Our Gov Chafee-Lite will be on O'Reilly tonight to talk about the "Holiday Tree: nonsense. He was pretty much ridiculed last night. Had he will probably appear dumbfounded tonight. But while the National media have latched on to the obvious, yesterday he was lambasted by one of his employees, the Presdient of The University of Rhode island for doing nothing while RI burns. President Dooley's line, "If somebody is on life support, you should probably react with a sense of urgency", refers to his opinon of Chafee-Lite's Laissez Faire attitude to a state economy in the dumper today and little hope for a future unless it turns around 180 degrees..
The Answer:
"Chicago" is number five. Personally, I didn't think it that great. But, the rest I pretty much agree with starting with number four "Sound of Music", and then I can go with #3 "Grease" and of course there is no question about two and one -- "Singing in the Rain" and West Side Story". personally, I would have put "My Fair Lady" in there. I would have made it Grease, Sound of, West Side, My Fair and Singin'. So, what do you think will happen when Les Miz comes roaring through. Remember that Phantom didn't do it.
''Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire metropolis to rising water and snakes. On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon, and the city of New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't love this country, I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side. So yes, God does speak to you, and what he's saying is, 'Take a hint.'''. --Bill Mahr. That's not funny.
I actually came up with the title of this edition the Tids after reading something called "Jon Stewart's funniest lines" (I would have the same reaction I'm sure after reading the the Best Of of several "comics"). I didn't see anything remotely funny thing in them. The only thing I could figure is that the judges for "Funniest Ever stuff" only hear the laughter of the lemmings in the audience. The "If-Jon-Stuart-opens-his-mouth-I'm-laughin' crowd.
