Today's Tids Issue 3,179
Opening Stuff:
On the eve of an
anniversary one of America’s saddest days, the Prez spoke last night but
didn’t say a whole lot that we didn’t expect. He seemed pretty much the same
anti war Prez unwilling to commit. Overall though, his tenor was better than
usual, but he blew the mood when he went into a campaign style speech, chasing
public opinion for the finale, “I really do love America”. This is one of those
“We’ll see” moments, where the words are well prepared but where the called for
results have trouble materializing.
“It’s not a question
of if, but when there will be a crash”. That’s what so-called financial
gurus say a lot these days about the state of the financial markets. Of course
there’s going to be a crash some day. Someday there’s going to be a republican
majority in the RI General Assembly! Too many of the prognostications seem to
be setting up the public to buy something. Most of the people predicting
downfalls in this circumstantial, non-committal manner have a vested interest
promoting crashes, either because they are selling “Safe” products like gold or
hedging something for their own benefit.
It’s a really good time to be cautious, because the body snatchers have
arrived in shiny suits.
There are people out
there with futurist research surveys trying to promote a new life style for the
decades ahead that says we won’t need stoves in homes anymore as all food will
be delivered or served in restaurants. That sounds like a real expensive way to
live. Oh, wait a minute, the small print says it is a new government program that
nationalizes Eating, and you’ll barely feel the pinch in your $74.00/hour
minimum wages!
Happy Birthday to
all of you out there whose celebrations may be blurred by the national tragedy.

Last night the
President said, “We cannot do better for the Iraqis what they can do for themselves”.
Hmmm. Isn’t too bad he doesn’t have the same philosophy about big daddy Government
doing too much for US citizens; holding back people with good brains and hearts
through the addiction of free money. I think he’s on to somethin’…if he only
knew it.
I need big Government
help with my NFL picks. Last week was weak, and the 8-8 results makes this
week’s games all look like posers. Almost all games could go either way. Tonight
I’m picking the Home team Baltimore over the Steelers. Flaco is due. The rest
are a tough -- Tenn over a bewildering Dallas, NE to squeak by a rugged Minn.
Surprise, there’s an AL East key game and it doesn’t involve the Pats – Miami’s
defense will stifle Buff’s strong running attack. I’m going Wash over Jax, Ariz
over Jints, NO over a stalwart Browns team, Cinn at home over Atlanta, Det over
Carolina in a close one. Seattle over
the media darling SD, TB over the QB-Less SL, Oakland over Houst, Denver way
over KC, Green Bay over NY Green (Jets), SF looked real sharp and will bet
Chicago. Monday is a true poser, but I’m going with the home team Indy over
Philly (Which I think is a bit of a mystery) in this close matchup.
I had to laugh at
the new campaign commercial for our Senator Jack “Puppet on a String” Reed,
where he says “I never think about one party or the other”. This a man who only
reads Democrat prepared statements about everything; marches in lockstep with anything
the President and local unions say. A politician who has never issued a
compelling statement. So I can only assume by ibis statement that he is
brainless or a liar. But, in fact he’s
decent, non-descriptive bloke. His campaign should be “I don’t do
anything, so you can’t blame me for anything.”
Did you read where
The Prez was thinking about a Labor Day get-away to NYC, but cancelled when 3
Golf Courses after being asked to accommodate Mr. Obama – Winged Foot, Trump
National and Willoway – said they wouldn’t close their courses to the members.
I’m looking at a
Commissioner Goodell digging himself into a deep hole. Less and less of
what he proclaims adds up to the whole truth. 6 owners say he’s toast if he I lying
about the availability of the tape. The general consensus, though, is that his
body of work will save him, at least for now.
The Answer:
Emily West and Mat Franco look like the leading contestants
after the 6 were announced. Next is AcroArmy followed by Quintavious Jackson,
Serendip and teen girl favorite Miquel Dakota. Bonus: The Judges and Nick.
See you all
tomorrow:
