Today's Tids Issue 3068
Opening Stuff:
The Masters kicks off today, which means that Sunday afternoon
will be a great day. Have to go buy some popcorn and various orange colored
snacks. I use big days like the Master’s final to assuage my guilt over eating
stuff that tastes good. Of course I also use things like the hour before five
PM every day as critical relaxation and self gorging time.
This labeling of sports
employers
as “Slave Owners” is getting out of hand and is demeaning to all those who were
truly slaves.
We need more French restaurants
with great sauces.
If you don’t think Putin is tightening the screws,
just read through all of the assorted headlines. He is not listening to
warnings or paying attentions to sanctions from anybody.
The Question:
The
Masters starts today. Who won the first Masters? Who are the three players that
have won consecutive tournaments? Which golfer has won the most Green Jackets?
Which golfer won the first green Jacket? Which seven players have won the most

If anybody is still out there watching American
Idol, which is more and more looking like the stepchild to The Voice instead of
Granddaddy of music competitions, here’s what last night’s mediocre array may
come down to. Caleb was good but not great even though perhaps the best of the
night. Sam was good only if you compare to previous weeks miserable
performances. Gena Held her own as did Jessica. I don’t think Dexter is very
good and he makes the bottom three with and inconsistent Malaya and loveable “CJ”,
who has yet to hit a note. Now Alex, who many think is most talented, sometimes
gets caught in confusing change for change sake creations, and last night he
may have lost some of his fans and dropped into the bottom. CJ should go.
I seem to be having problems with my Foxfire lately. Is
that because gays don’t like the Prersident of Mozilla who was forced out by
reverse bigots.
The fight to make the successful feel
miserable continues. In Newport here there are many great historic mansions of
the Vanderbilt’s, Astor’s and Belmont’s among other “Gilded Era” financial giants,
and they have proved to be an enormous tourism boom for the City and State (One
of the few businesses not chased out by Union dominated legislature). These
mansions have been restored and are museums of the past drawing millions of visitors each year. These “Cottages”
are sprinkled throughout very upscale neighborhoods, and a university. A women
writes to the local newspaper to suggest her great idea: Why not make them
useful too! She goes one to suggest how they could be altered to house the homeless!
There’s sense, and then there is sensibility.
You can tell the public golf courses from the
private golf club by the softness of the toilet paper in the restrooms.
The mass stabbing in the school in the Pittsburgh
area yesterday reminds me of a scene from the TV show “The Following”…which
reminded me of the stabbing scenes in malls in China. Who’s following whom?
Eric Holder also played the “Race
Card” as a
method of pivoting away from reality. As he said that he is the only AG who has
been picked on like he has been. “And, you know why that is, ” he smirked to a
lapdog audience. As black Senator Scott said, I guess Holder forgot about the persecution of
AG Gonzalez. Scott added that it saddens
him to see public officials resort to race to avoid the truth.
The Answer:
--Horton
Smith was the first to win in 1934 (He won two). Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and
Nick Faldo won two in a row. Nicklaus has won six and the first jacket was
presented to Sam Snead in 1949. The seven with the most i=wins are Jack (6),
Tiger and Arnie (4), and with 3 each to Sam, Phil, Nick and Gary.
So far, the top five all at -1 are
Tom Watson, Stewart Cink, Ian Poulter, Kevin Stadler and Jnas Blixt. Already we
ah=have a sentimental favorite…Kevin Stadler. I like heavy guys. Just kidding,
Tom Watson is a nice guy and great student of the game. He’ll put up a fight.
Enough for the golfers, already! Here’s something fro
