Today's Tids Issue 2,771
Opening Stuff:
When writing a mess like this each day,
you never know how you are touching lives. Human pain or beautiful
love. I write from my sterile monolithic mind often not realizing that a
reader here or there maybe looking at a horrific day, loving a new hair
style or thinking beautiful things of a love not there. I look at the
outside and see sun, and it looks like a happy day. I see a blank page
that needs words. And the letters start coming, then words, and
sentences. It is precious prose to the writer. Words that I presume all
should feel rapturous about. But, it isn't quite that simple, is it.
Humans though likened, are entirely different. In opposite places at any
given moment, from elation to
gloom. We sit in a ballpark and everybody is cheering, yet every mind
is numbed or buoyed by circumstances nobody sees through the whoops and
hurrahs. Words written in a vacuum, must be sensitive to everybody's
reality. We never know when walking a crowded street, or writing words,
how we are touching lives.
What was that all about? From now on I'm going to be nicer to vegetarians? Nah.
No Nukes For US, Department:
Nobody is happy about the North Korea Nuke test. Especially China who used to smile wryly at the NK "Hobby". But, here's good news for us. I have it on very good authority that no missile could reach the US without being first destroyed in air. This is 100% authority. So sleep restfully. Now so fast, Japan and South K. The real threat to the US is NK holding this gun to the heads of our friends Japan and SK. This is a serious and realistic scenario.
Right now I'm listening to Dvorak's Czech Suite Opus 39. I'm feeling that tension that comes from having nothing in mind to say, drain from my body. I see beauty. I feel like writing something nice about democrats.

This is the blankest piece of paper I have ever started with in the history of the Tids.
Everything in this world seems to revolve around China. China loves the status quo in North Korea, becasue if resolved by South K aggression, it would have US troops on its border and refugees aplenty within it's borders. If it attacks NK it would have to feed millions befuddled and bewildered people. On the other side, who will move into the vacuum in Afghanistan when the US leaves. China. A good chance, becasue of minerals and oil potential. In fact because it's of its massive population, every vacuum in the world is probably a potential opening for China settling in. Like the British Empire all over again. "God save our native commie chief."
"Exercise is a bad word. Every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate" -- Lucy Van Pelt.
Obama gives lip service to the old Maxim, "The President's Children are off limits," because no President I can remember would shove Malia and Sasha into the limelight more than he. Oh yeah, and that debate night when Jimmy Carter tried to elevate Amy to his National Security Council.
Beware of Politicians with flirtatious Smiles, Department:
How about that Maureen O'Connor, the phys ed instructor who charmed her way to Mayor of San Diego. "But she was so nice, and she did so much good." I can hear those plaintiff cries now as this addictive gambler with a habit that reached over One Billion Dollars in losses, among them $2.1 million embezzled form her deceased husband's charitable trust, as O'Connor awaits two years for prosecution. Yup, that's what the old widow always says about the con man who stole her retirement income, "He was such a nice man." And like those Mafia chiefs wheeled into courts on a gurney with drip bag, O'Connor says a brain tumor made her do it.
Uh-oh, there I go again, unfeeling and heartless.
"Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I feel very peculiar, like I've just got to bite a cat. I feel like if I don't bite a cat before sundown, I'll go crazy! But then, I just take a deep breath and forget about it. That's what is known as real maturity." -- Snoopy
Would it be bad to eat horse meat labeled as horse meat? Non-pet owning culinary observers say it is slightly sweet, tender and low in fat.
When you think about it, people are irate that in certain areas of the world lots of people are eating horse meat. Let's see, horses are smart...and often rich from racing. Cows are lazy and dumb. Vast pet organizations protect the horse over the cow. Time for fairness, time for Obama!
Nobody but nobody is a bigger fan of manufacturing than I. I have been ruing the passing of US manufacturing as woe to the middle class since the 1980's. And the real undoing began in the seventies when conglomerates started sucking cash out of US leadership manufacturing industries. The problem with the promise of a return to greatness, is that it will be done with out people. The ingenuity of America as expressed by the Prez is going into creating better automation. The increase in productivity generally means more output from less "Expensive" people. So applaud the return of manufacturing. But we will have to find the panacea for reducing unemployment elsewhere. Unless of course Obama lets his union pals attach a rider to the building of every "Lights Out" factory, requiring the presence of 30 employees, who will basically play cards while watching the machines do the work. (Note: There are 300,000 job openings in manufacturing right now. Unfortunately, most of the applicants are only capable of playing cards. there is a crying need for upgrading the skill levels of High School graduates. And making factory work appear more appealing than dip fry baskets into hot grease.
So manufacturing is good for America, but it just will not be the same. As Rick Pitino once told Boston Celtic Fans: "Larry Bird isn't walking through that door."
0-Man Says he will explain the drone strategy to the public. Probably right after everybody has forgotten about the issue and it is determined that nobody is interested any more..
Retirement doesn't mean "not working". It means not worrying.
The Answer:
Of course "Hunt's" ketchup is better, but Heinz does Ok with their's. Some other bigs are Ore-Ida, TGI Friday's, Lea and Perins. Wylers, Classico and Heinz Baked Beanz.
"I think I have discovered the secret of life -- you just hang around until you get used to it." -- Charlie Brown's sister Sally
That could be also said to all of those patient lovers of the novel The Conscience. It will be back next week.
