Today's Tids Issue 2,752
Opening Stuff:
Let's see, today is
Martin Luther King day, and I have to make a decision on whether
to watch NBA Basketball or The Inauguration. Hmmmm. I think I'll watch
the MLK "I Have a Dream Speech", instead. It is a moving speech, to me.
It reaches in and grabs my heart every time. Oh, I can argue about some
of his phrasing, just as I savor others, like that calling for rational
thinking, "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking
from the cup of bitterness and hatred." There are those with closed
hearts and minds who
will fight his words, but they all resonate for truth and
understanding. People may hate him because he disrupted the order of
their lives, but he only did so to help those struggling to find lives.
Local police looking for the "knitting needle nutcase", who has stabbed six people in 48 hours, believe he is following some kind of pattern.
The world is changing Martin. Last week I met a woman who was mad because her husband wasn't interested in watching the Pats game with her! Yikes! What has this new world become?
In his fanaticism for gun control, 0-Man failed to mention all of the other problems that must also be fixed in order to really protect children. Nope, he just picks out the villains that liberals like to fight. That's what we'll get for four more years.
New Hampshire's motto "Live Free or Die" has never meant more than it does today as the state with the most automatic weapons per capita.
The Question:
Double "Q" Day. 1. Name four animals which are members of the camel family. Hint: One of them isn't Joe. 2. What are Pork Chitterlings.
The Headlines:
--Country Honors MLK.
--BHO Celebrates Yesterday's Inauguration.
--Condy Rice Becomes CBS Analyst.
--NE Pats Look Inept In Loss; Superbowl: Niners- Ravens.
--Senate Says They will Submit First Budget In Four Years; New Revenue Streams To be Focus.
--Son Kills Five In His Albuquerque Home?
--Algerian Death Toll Up To 80.
--Netanyehu Expects Re-Election.
--Egypt Citizens Renouncing US Leadership And Need For Relationship.
*I'm in mourning for the Pats. What did you think?

Stan the Man was a favorite of mine. He was one those few guys from the other team who's skills shown so brightly that you couldn't help admire his unique stardom. He and Ted Williams were in my mind the stars that transcended the rest in those glorious years. Some NY'ers want to add Joe D to that short list, but I never gave him a thought. And of course, because of today, a lot of people would throw Jackie R into the group of elite 40's 50's supermen. But to this kid who liked Robinson as a part of the team he loved, it was "The Man" who always mesmerized my youthful eyes. So, Stan you were a great person, on and off the field. And you will be missed.
Uncle Remus could have been talking about the Middle East in his tales about the tar baby.
I had written once a while back that why not put giant fences around Northern and Southern Ireland, The Middle East, and several Countries in Africa. And, just let them fight their senseless wars among themselves without drawing in the rest of the world. Of course, the Irish don't belong in that group any longer. Or do they? There are some new reports of unrest in Northern Ireland. It's true. Maybe it's because Rory McElroy switched to Nike clubs! Now they yell "Fore" instead of "incoming".
So, I am now to believe according to newspaper headlines that Michelle Obama is officially a Fashion Icon. "Icon" no less. What's that all about? The first thing I know for sure is that no self respecting fashion icon would wear bangs. Many a good looking women has coiffured herself into obscurity by clipping hair and brushing it down. But then, so many follow celebs whether good or bad. It would have been so great on this MLK day for Michelle O to come out in a stance that would begin bringing back together 2 parent families for the people the peace-loving minister worked so hard to free.
Where is Andrew Breitbart when you need him?
Manti Te'o has gone from Heisman candidate to National Joke.
Aaron Swartz committed suicide after he learned he was to go to jail for several hacking violations. He was against "Anti-Piracy" laws and thousands of closeted computer mavens have made him a Martyr to their cause. Hey, I like an open and free Internet, but stealing other people's work is not freedom.
Celebrity adulation is a national problem, in this person's eyes. Often the actions of celebs and athletes are taken seriously as condoning bad behavior. And even worse, putting law breakers and moral/ethical degenerates on a pedestal. Many rushed to Armstrongs defense even afte he told the world what the world already knew -- he was a lyin', cheatin' creep. The said, I can't be against a person who through his fame raised a half a billion for cancer. Maybe that will bethe new publist strategy -- have all of their talents open significant charities so that when caught, the sympathetic will sympathy -- "Don't be so hard on Lindsay Lohan - she raised a half a billion for unwed drug addicts.
Oops! Did you see where the CEO of Whole Foods has really disturbed his progressive customer base, by doing exactly what liberals hate most -- Telling the truth. Yes, it is a well known fact that the least tolerant of them all are the liberals of our world, who are now fuming that John Mackey correctly described ObamaCare as looking like Facism. You know, the old "If looks like a duck...". Well there's quacks aplenty screaming and gandering with incredulous eyes. Apparently, Mackey just wrote a book on capitalism and it doesn't include the Obama way.
Collateral damage Department:
Speaking of progressive food shoppers, have you heard about the latest collateral damage report. Some of those precious cities and states Like San Fran Cal have outlawed plastics bags because they are icky for the environment. So, many shoppers there (And followed by rafts of peeps across the country) turned to their own reusable bags. Sounds ingenius except for one thing -- health services are reporting that these bags proudly dropped on check-out counters throughout our land are breeding grounds for e-Coli. Yup, people carry home meat and/or veggies, and then toss them in the car trunk where the hot sun bares down and helps to propagate bad stuff. Feeling ill yet?
Are you ready for Harbaugh mania! God help us all.
I think that RI is over run with pets. But now I learn that RI ranks in the bottom ten in pet ownership. That's good enough reason never to move to Vermont, , New Mex, South Dakota, Oregon, Maine, Washington, Arkansas, West Virginia, Idaho and Wyhoming...the Top Ten.
So, if California has banned plastic bags, how do Cal people pick up their pet's deposits? Let's hope it isn't in those reusable shopping bags.
There have been no relatives sighted trying to freeze Stan Musial's head.
The Answer:
1. Some Camel relatives are Alpacas, Llamas, Vicunas and Guanacos. 2. First, I learned that Chitterlings are common among most dog and pork eating nations. I immediately had the feeling that I was not on the track of something good. Then I learned that pork chitterlings were actually a Southern Dining treat, but must be handled with care, like washing your hands with bleach. Chitterlings are pork intestines. Get me outta here. I wonder if Arabs eat camel chitterlings?
"And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, 'Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'."
Uh, Martin. Things do change. You forgot Muslims.
If you think it's bad in America today, note that the Prez walked to the Inauguration with the ever disingenuous Charles Schumer. Please help us all.
