Today's Tids Issue 2.707
Opening Stuff:
Saturday morning I listened
to NPR's "Fair and Balanced" political reporting and
I felt Romney losing by 10. I watched Fox News "Fair and Balanced"
reporting and felt Romney winning by 10. I guess it just depends upon
who is more fair and balanced. But, then on Sunday night I watched NBC
and came away wondering if they actually knew that Mitt Romney was the
other candidate. that there was another candidate in the race!
And then we have Joe Biden who is unbalanced: "There's never been a day in the last four years when I've been proud to be his VP."
One of my all time favorite Movie Sound Tracks is Waking Ned Devine. I like the music, and songs Like "Hear me", but I'm always moved by the words and the moment When Jackie O'Shea gives his eulogy for his friend Michael O'Sullivan (Who is actually alive and sitting in the front row): "Michael O'Sullivan was my great friend. but don't ever remember telling him that. (The camera moves to Michael and the glint in his old Irish eyes.) The words at a funeral are often spoken too late for the man who is dead. What a wonderful thing it would be if you could sit in the front row of your own funeral and hear what was said. ...Michael and I grew old together. But, at times when we laughed we were young again. If he was here now, if he could hear what I say, I'd congratulate him on being a great man, and thank him for being a friend."
The Question:
Triple Bonus Q Monday! 1. Name the 5 top all time College Football Programs. Which two Ivy League programs are in the top ten? 2. Cross a crocodile with a zebra and what do you get? 3. A famed blond darling of the 50'-60's silver screen isn't saying what will be, will be, she's making political phone calls (Automated of course) in her home state of Ohio. Who is this known animal rights-ist and who she supporting?
The Headlines:
--Final Pols Have Race Even; NJ's Christie Reaffirms Support For Romney After Rightfully Praising Obama Storm Relief Program.
--Syrian Tanks Incursion Into Golan Heights Is Not A Good Thing.
--NY, NJ NE Now Facing prospects Of Cold And New Storm.
--Stock Market In Neutral Day before Elections.
--Libyan Security Forces Attack Each Other; Leadership Trying To Disarm rebel Factions.
--Uncertainty In Business Expected To prevail for Years; Middle Class Worse Off than Most Think.
--Apple Sells 3 Million IPad Minis Over The Weekend.
The ObamaCare mess has been so emotionalized, most people don't know how bad it really could be. --For instance. some may applaud that it forces doctors offices to be upgraded to full automation and interconnection, a bureaucrat's dream, with only the small side effect being the lack of actual doctors who can no longer afford practice medicine under new payment schedules. --For instance, high costs of advanced medical procedures like Proton therapy -- a cancer treatment that focuses radiation to localized tumors and ironically one favored and used by Ted Kennedy -- is causing profuse sweating among ObamaCare accountants. There are knowledgeable concerns that it would disappear from US Hospitals. --For instance, and this is a core issue for-instance, the lame HHS mandate was a band-aid designed to protect AHCA from the blatant attack on the Freedom of Religion feature of the First Amendment. The HHS allowed Churches to be free from Obama Admin edicts that would impose actions against principles, but excluded other religious based institutions like Hospitals, Universities and Charities. And that is just the tip of the "For-Instance iceberg. Makes you shiver, doesn't it.
Mike Peters suggests that because of Google advances in the "Zoom" technology as in Google Earth, the next versioon will be called Google Colonoscopy.
When the Carolina Panthers upset the Washington redskins yesterday, they may have also upset Democrat tummies and just predicted a Romney victory! For 17 of 18 elections it has hedl that If the Skins win their last home game before the election, the incumbent wins. Yesterday they lost. Go Carolina!
Too many politicians promote the advantages of overspending when they should be wondering why they need to spend anything at all.
I think everybody can agree that it would be a good idea to begin upgrading the moral character of people in congress. We can start in RI by voting out Cicilini, a classic example of what's wrong with congress...voting people in because of party identity instead of who they are.
I hate rain on the Notre Dame victory march and current uncontrolled but that pass Interference call on a fourth down play that set up the first of the comeback touchdowns, was not even close. I was, in fact, an exceptional play by the Pitt defense man.
American Royalty Department:
--Amidst all of the newspaper's wide and thorough reporting of the trauma and hardship of people in NJ and NY was the headline, "Kennedy Home Unharmed." --With that corroding the rational side of my brain, a few days later I read sports columnists hyping the wonderment of a "Manning Brothers Superbowl". God help us.
As far as I can determine -- when the rebels finally take over from Assad there will be a civil war between fiercely opposing groups now temporarily allied by necessity. One group will be armed by Iran and the other by the USA.
My Spell-Check has been in the dark too long it appears as it doesn't know how to spell colonoscopy. I wonder where it's been hiding?
Don't worry about the Goldman-Sachs people from new Jersey getting to work during the post storm reconstruction. The company has it's own Hudson River Ferry. The Goldman Sachs Ferry! Sounds like an idea for a romantic love song. "I met my sweetheart on the Goldman Sachs Ferry hedging her bets, but I was risk averse! So now we're arm in arm on the way to the bank, and I'm holding her purse". Kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it. Now GS only has to develop there own oil transportation fleet and string of gas stations so employees can drive to the ferry.
The golfer who sank a shot from off the green was quite chipper!
The Answer: 1. The top five programs of all time are Alabama, Notre Dame, USC, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Yale and Princeton who dominated football up through the fifties are # 7 and 10 on the list. 2. If you cross a Zebra with a crocodile you get one less zebra. Ouch! 3. Of course it is my actual boyhood sweetheart Doris day. Doris was so upset with Hollywood that she left years ago to live with real animals. Doris day for Romney! God, my heart's aflutter.
So here we are on the verge: On one side we have the team of a Neo-Socialist* and the smiling National Plagiarist Laureate. On the other side, we have a moderate, Small Government champion, private enterprise problem solver combined with a conservative, creative bull dog.
*Just in case you think I'm one of those mindless rabblerousers throwing around the word "Socialist", I submit that one of the classic tenets of the 1930's French neo-socialist movement, "A belief that capitalism has failed, but can be resuscitated by a new partnership between Government and Business," is defined clearly by President Obama's own words in his succession of "You didn't build it (Businesses)". The Government's rush to take over GM (Clearly a payback to unions) as opposed to waiting it out like Ford did successfully is exactly what Marcel Deal's French Neos would do. Quiet, below the radar encroachments on "The" America is like sea water nibbling away, undercutting shorelines. Or, silently corroding steel foundations. The lanterns from the North Church Steeple go unheeded. The left and near left just chortle it all away as hysterical anti progress gratifying rhetoric. And they will, until it all topples, and plunges into the sea.
I saw a Domino's Pizza TV commercial yesterday which was touting New "Handmade" pan pizza. How did they make all of their other pizzas? -- with robots...or worse, feet! What a world hast the adman wrought.
It's hold your breath time.
