Today's Tids Isssue 2,822
Opening Stuff:
Most viewing the opening
of the Bush library, from several sides of the political spectrum, were
able to table their agendas for a moment and marvel at the purity of a
great America; Five living Presidents bound by the mysteries of the
office and
hardships that nobody sees ...but which they all must live. Guiding
America is no easy task.
Well, we made it through another week. I think I am becoming oblivious to the shenanigans in DC. Or else the antics of journalist miscreants has become so epidemic that the so-called news just passes me by. I have to believe this is good for your health. The only real news that might rekindle my fire is the systematic shrinking of the government. Until then, it's just a plain embarrassment and rather painful to watch bad lawmaking from both sides of the aisle. If indeed, we really need any new laws at all.
I went to a memorial service yesterday for a beautiful woman who inspired a great family, that just happened to marry into mine, and vice versa. It was like so many of the memorial services or funerals where you see people you love, and then just leave. Just like that.
The Question:
What are the five countries with the highest alcohol consumption per capita?
The Headlines:
--Q1 GDP Improvement Less Than Analysts Estimates; Market Shrugs.
--Congress Passes Bill To Ease FAA Sequester Woes.
--President O Tip-Toeing Across Planned Parenthood Stage; Infanticide Trial Dampens Enthusiasm Of Abortion Lovers.
--Baltimore Prisoner, Gang Leader Fathers 5 Children With 4 Guards.
--Country Western Star george Jones Dead At 81.
--Bangladesh Building Collapse Deaths Rise to 300; 38 Die In Fire At Moscow, Russia Mental Hospital.
The biggest problem facing the US of A is shrinking jobs because of technology. For instance, when Banks lay off 30,000 chunks of employees, it's not necessarily just to improve the bottom line, it's because they just don't need bodies anymore now that technology has taken over so many functions. It's actually happening everywhere. In many industries smart people are hired to write programs, followed by less smart people to push buttons. And finally, only machines. This how America can compete with outsourcing to low paying nations. But it does no good for strong middle income employment.
The main interest of the US in the Syrian war is to stop spillover that could put pal King Of Jordan in peril
I see where yesterday "O" praised Bush. After that, even his support from the left will think he's a liar.

It was a Good idea last night
to "Save" all of the AI singers. Amber and Candice were the bottom
dwellers last night, but because they had an extra week left on the
sched due to the already planned "Save" which was never made, they just
it flow again.
The US Gossip media just couldn't exist without the emergence from time to time of a good English Princess.
I think you could classify the stock market today as "Good", considering that the investors didn't rush into a sell-off after the mediocre GDP reports. This kind of sensibility tends to mean the nominal curve will continue upward movement. A "Bad" market means that stocks will drop after a report of hangnail.
Ironically, the Bush Library opened in the wake of the Boston bombings. While not has devastating as 911, Boston was equally vicious in its total disregard for innocent human life.
Officialdom is having trouble classifying Boston as real terrorism because they can't link the amoral twosome to a known terroist state. How how about the state of hatred for the USA that exists in the radical islamist world. That works for me.
I mentioned a couple of weeks back that the cup cake market was declining. Some disagree with that, mainly it seems because they like to eat the sweets. But, the factors for fading remain -- fads always end, prices are high and competition for the specialty sweet tooth segment is on the rise. One competitive force it appears surprisingly is the fancy macaroon! Hey, I guess if we've had chocolate chip cookie shops, the macaroon deserves a chance. But you won't find me there. Nor eating a five dollar cupcake.
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--The Company You Keep is possibly a good movie unless it is just an apology film for the 60's/70's Weatherman hooligans. Most of the Weather group members have slipped into new identities and are quietly leading new lives. A reporter outs one of the former militant group, who goes on the run in this political thriller. I would go see it.
--Mud is supposed to be Matthew McConaughey's best. He is a man found by two boys hiding on a Mississippi island. He tells stories of killing a man in Texas and vengeful bounty hunters seeking him... and how he plans to take the love of his life with him in his escape. He asks the boys for help, and soon the tales turn into deadly reality and a big adventure for all.
--The Big Wedding Is this week's gathering place for aging actors. It is a comedy that will be predictable, about a long divorced couple having to play the happy couple again for their adopted son's wedding.
--Pain & Gain is a black comedy about body builders. Personally a movie about body building would be too embarrassing to watch. Fortunately it is a close to awful film, so I wouldn't be tempted to match my abs against there's.
The Answer:
Little Luxemburg is number one mainly because the citizens don't know exactly where the country is. It is followed by Ireland, Portugal, Hungary, Czeck Republic, Spain, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland and France.
It's time for the weak end, which will hopefully launch you into the weekend. The grayness of the news makes it harder and harder to write the Tids. See you all on Monday.
