Today's Tids Issue 2,714
Opening Stuff:
My guess is that the courageous in the White House and Congress
will postpone falling off a cliff for yet another year. I always thought
that a can with dents in it meant something inside could be dangerous
to your health.
Self proclaimed American Indian Elizabeth Warren would have been better off sending smoke signals at her first news conference. Even the most die hard of myopic liberals were concerned about how she bombed without a script. Basically what she showed was the intellectual arrogance of the intolerant left. Many a person told me they were going to vote for her because she was so smart. Smart about what -- her ideologies versus mine? Smart...like Jimmy Carter?

The Question:
The Tids, is always looking for ways to bridge the gap between the wanters and workers. So at the start of this new political year now under the helm of our most partisan and giving President, I thought a Daily Question about Love would be most appropriate. Every composer knows that he or she can make big bucks writing about "The Power of Love". Name three performers who have had hits with songs incorporating the words, those words that just about everybody has felt at least once in their lives.
The Headlines:
--Oddness: In 59 Philadelphia Precincts Romney Got "0" Votes.
--The White House Looking More And More Suspect As Manipulators Of Petraeus Affair.
--Indicators say EU Recession Close; Could Get Ugly By Spring; Will Affect US Economy.
--FaceBook Issuing 800 Million New Shares.
--Petraeus Mess Widens.
--Heir Apparent To Microsoft Top Job Leaves Unexpectedly; Head Of New Windows 8 Development Out After 2 Weeks Since Launch.
--Congress Wants Petraeus On Hill For Benghazi Hearings.
There's an old saw among writers that says "Fiction must make sense". So that brings us to the non-fiction tale of Petraeus and galloping emails. Now we get news that General John Allen the commander in Afghanistan has sent and received 30,000 ages of emails to and from the newly infamous third women in the Petraeus affair, Jill Kelley! Yikes. This seems to have less to do with The Power of Love than the love of power. Women after men with stars. Kind of a pension plan. So, maybe all of these Taliban in Afghan uniforms were sneaking in while Allen was asleep at the laptop.
By the way, this Jill Kelly must be quite the alluring vamp. It now surfaces, to add to he oddities of this non-fiction tale, that the chief FBI investigator in the Petraeus caper was sending Jill K pics of himself sans shirt.
I think on Sunday I reached a new low in mindlessness. I didn't get the cartoon "Family Circus. How can you not get, Family Circus.
One thing I have consistently supported on ballots over the years has been approval of bonds to purchase farms and other open space for eternal preservation. I just don't like rampant, unthinking development, especially in a state that is losing rather than gaining population. I'm more in favor of energizing used land, and there is plenty of it coming available each year. But, last week I heard a spokes person for the ASPCA thanking voters for creating space for animals! Now, I'm not so sure that spending money for the happiness and over population by promiscuous deer is dear to my heart. I thought we were spending it for people. What ever happened to people?
Let's hear it for Charlie Beljan. Charlie is a PGA golfer who going into this weeks tour event, knew he was going to lose his card if he didn't win. After the first round, which he barely finished, he was carried off on a stretcher. The pressure was so great that he suffered a panic attack that looked more like a heart attack or massive stroke. He was essentially helpless as he stumbled off 18. The next day the docs said, "No golf". Charlie didn't listen and went out and shot well enough to get the lead. Well, the great ending to this tale is that he kept and improved that lead til the final hole. He walked off on steady legs. I'll be following Charlie next year. It reads like ficton and would make a great sports movie.

Steven Spielberg
says that he was a particularly interested in producing the Lincoln
movie because Abe showed how big government can help people. So this
darling of the glitterazzi thinks of Abe as the Father of run-away
bureaucrats. Personally, I remember most, Abraham Lincoln's words: "Of
the people, By the people, for the people shall not perish from this
earth.
Yesterday I surmised that the FBI had to know about this Petraeus affair when he was vetted, and now we know that the very sneaky Eric Holder knew at least six or more months ago.

Football Notes:
This NFL season continues to be one of the weirdest ever. Near dead teams continually rise from the ashes and those that were never supposed to be, become. Just this past week, we had Tenn, Cinn, St. Louis and almost the Chiefs making a mockery out of expert opinion. --The top 25 in college have three 10-0 team 1,2,3 and one 10-0 team Ohio State, sixth. Does this mean that the bloom is off the rose for the once mighty Big Ten which now doesn't appear to provide "Strength of schedule" benefits. That the league with the best sports promoting staff is losing out to reality? --Lehigh U loses to Colgate thus setting up a quandary for for FSC playoff selectors.
The Answer:
The first one I thought of was the song by Hughy Lewis. Then there is a completely different, and very popular version by Celine Dion. Jennifer Rush has a popular version almost like Dion's and then there another by Gabrielle Alpin. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNpeK7sDLzE
We live in a world of humans. And the frailties are not diminished by accomplishment.
The Power of Love comes from above.
