Today's Tids Issue 2,741
Opening Stuff:
So far
this year, the first big message from the lips of the Prez
vacationing in Hawaii is, "Tax the Rich." Not let's save America for
tomorrow. Just get the guys I have painted black...the sniveling, money
grubbing evil-doers in society. Aaah leadership, where has it gone.
You have to believe it's not a good night at a restaurant when upon arriving home, you grab a handful of potato chips and its the tastiest thing you've eaten all evening.
Have we become a society where people are unable to act responsibly unless a government entity passes a law forcing them to?
The Question:
How a bout a nice Double "Q" opener for the week! 1. On the day that Henry the VIII married his fourth - January 6, two American presidents were also wed -- one 219 years later and the other 405 years after Henry. Also one American president died 379 years after Henry married...who? 2. Only 7 companies have contributed to the upcoming O-Inauguration. Name them.
The Headlines:
--0-Man Nominates Anti-War Republican Chuck Hagel For Defense Secretary, Former Bush-ite, Anti-Liberal Policy John Brennan For CIA Head; Cable News, C-Span Ratings Expected To rise During Hearings.
--Supreme Court refuses To hear Challenge Over PAD Disclosures; Federal Embryonic Stem Cell Funds.
--Syrian Rebels Trun Off Assad's Promises For New Governmental Change; Assad Says He Will Not Bow To Terrorists Or Puppets Of West.
--French Employers, Unions At Odds Over Move To Overhaul Rigid Labor Laws.
--10 Banks To Pay $10.8 Bil For Foreclosure Abuse.
--Closing Of Special Interest tax Loopholes Enjoyed By Businesses from Farming To Banking Expected To Be Next Target Of Money Hungry Government.
--Tammy Baldwin First Openly Gay Senator; "Wide Stance" Craig Still Mum.
Johnny Manziel is truly amazing. How cool. How agile. How intelligent. Is he human?
The big college game is tonight. They call it the National Collegiate Football Championship, but it is really just a game determined by humans, and not by blood, bruises; leaving everything on the the field. Two combatants that played well, but that nobody knows if they were better than say, Oregon or Texas A&M. But, it's all we got, and it will be a good one. I'm picking Florida.
Just for the record, Al Gore is at it again. The Tennessee hypocrite who advocated against tobacco when it was politically expedient while enjoying wealth derived from his family's vast riches from farming tobacco; Al Gore who is now enjoying new millions being a global warming opportunist, and who just added to the his fortune by selling his loser TV network to a company completely funded by oil. How will he make his new millions, franchising abortion centers?
Or maybe Gore will get into "Sharia compliant funds". The Amana Mutual Funds Trust is one of them. It is Islamic principled, meaning it avoids companies involved in pornography, liquor, gambling and banks! All of their funds avoid bonds and fixed income securities. There are three funds -- "Growth" seeking long term capital growth; "Income" with only common stocks with dividends; "Developing world Growth" holds companies with 50% or more of assets or revenues with exposure to countries with developing economies. See, there's something for everyone. That's why Capitalism spurs growth. If there's money in anything, somebody will find a way to sell it. And create jobs along the way.
Speaking of Al Gore, I thought pilfering without guilt a well traveled email would be appropriate to remind us all about the lunacy of addictive spending. Reduce the Government budgetary numbers by 8 zeroes and you get this yearly family financial situation: Income - $21,700; Money family spent - $38,200; New debt on credit card - $16.500; Outstanding balance on credit card - $142,710; Total budget cuts so far ' $38.00.
As far as I can determine, the Internet enables human stupidity to levels never before seen in the history of the world.

I figured that the way
things are gong, before I die all foods will be infused with Latin or
Asian favors. When that point is reached, I will shoot myself and in the
process save Medicare money. See, I'm always ready to help out. That
is, if there still are guns.
The headlines across front pages of America's Papers read on Saturday: FDA to force sweeping overhaul of food production". Translation: America's food prices going up. When goverment imposes its will, which unfortunately is now occurring at a geometric progression, they seem to think that companies and humans can print money like they do. They just are incapable of understanding the hurt.
During all of the years I have been writing this thing, I believe I have used just about every well known, excellent, classic pun that has ever existed. But I occasionally find one, and Insert them when I believe they are worthy of your punsideration.
I'm reading a book on anti-gravity. I just can't put it down.

You have to figure looking around the world today and even in the so-called model Democracy USA, that if the world had supreme global leader, 50% or more would be against he or she.
Beware of restaurant menus printed in four color and then laminated in shiny plastic.
I get so relaxed reading the news papers on Sunday, that it takes about an hour to get my legs moving again.
The Answer:
1. With a little sense of history and a little mathematical analysis you probably learned that Henry the VII married Anne of Cleves on that day that also George Washington married Martha Custis and George Herbert Walker Bush married Barbara Pierce. And that one of my boyhood heroes Teddy Roosevelt died. 2. The seven companies still "voluntarily" handing money over to 0-Man are AT&T, Microsoft, Centene (Making big bucks off of Medicaid, ObamaCare), Financial Innovations (Made promotional items for Obama 2012 campaign.), Genentech, Stream Line Circle (Owned by Gay Rights activist Jon Stryker), and Whittier Trust Co ("Wealth" Management Company whose founder made Millions in So Cal filthy oil).
A guy I genuinely like and who is a fair-minded political analyst working for Brookings Institution, made one of those inexcusable slips yesterday in a local lecture here. "Republicans hate immigrants," he said. And I know he knows better bebause of who he is, and because he tried reinsert the truth later on -- "Illegal". It's "Illegal immigration"! Of course this is totally what is driving the immigration controversy, not Republican's hatred of all immigrants. How hard is it to understand that Repubs don't like people illegally bypassing the the laws of a fair-minded land; Wh readily accept all those who go through the same process that all of our great ancestors have. But, sadly, the untruth about Republicans have been so ingrained in the minds of some Democrats, that even a good man like the one who spoke gets caught up in the myth. Unfortunately, for four more years we have our 0-Man who is the the master of seeding misleading truths.
A story in Projo today reminded me that when I was a kid, early teen, the only New York City attraction in which I was ever interested was one of the many Horn and Hardardt Automat's around that town. In fact it is the only thing I can remember about that city, except the train ride getting there. If those amazing restaurants to be reopened today it would have all of that gravy of yore, but would certainly have many selections with celantro and lemon grass and wouldn't cost a handful of nickles.
