Opening Stuff:
It is especially
comforting this morning as I sit here typing knowing that there are
exhausted, practically maniacal people out there in consumerville battering and stumbling over each
other to save $100. This is particularly senseless when considering that stores
will practically give stuff away in the days before and after Christmas.
Sometimes in order to
write a thoughtful poem you have to be illiteral.
So far, it seems to
me, ObamaCare is basically hammering square pegs into round holes as a
means of justifying increases in
Medicaid.
You gotta feel a little
better for Natalie DuBose. Good and giving Americans have attempted to
overcome the actions of the savages who Burned Natalie’s Ferguson Bakery to the
ground, contributing over $200,000 for rebuilding. It’s too bad Natalie had watch
her life’s work ablaze at the hands of wanton criminals stealing in the name of
some perceived injustice. Natalie is symbolic of the real victims in this mess.
The Question:
The Strong Museum’s Toy Hall Of Fame just announced the three
new entrants into the Hallowed Hall of Fun. Name them. Name three iconic toys
that have never made it to the Hall
The Headlines:
--Shoppers Attack Stores For Second Day (Oops, “attacking
stores” as a new connotation in this era senseless violence); Walmart Reports
Strong T-Day Sales; Best Buy Website Dies.
--OPEC Opts To Keep Production High; Oil Prices Drop.
--Hunter Piacitelli Named First Clarinet In the RI Junior
High All-State band.
--Obama Admin Ready To Free More From Gitmo.
--Taliban attacks Have Kabul On Edge.
--Dems After Defeat Pointing Fingers At Each Other.
--Financially Ruined Burt Reynolds Selling Everything To Eat.
--Illegal Immigrants Now Eligible for SS and Medicare.
--Mystery Novelist PD James Dies.
The Macy’s Parade has
lost its luster. There are way too many lackluster stops where pop singers
of the moment try to create excitement for their hits without a lighting show
or super sound systems. Meanwhile many viewers take a walk wandering whatever happened
to the excitement of marching bands -- the energy of kids in intricate marches
and the power of rousing drums and blaring trombones. Yup, there is much too much
getting rid of the past in favor of commercial publicity. It’s a real bad idea.
Any company that sent
me a promotional email on T-Day went immediately into the Block file. I may
be giving up my PCH millions in favor of integrity.
The headline read
that it was peaceful in Ferguson yesterday for Thanksgiving. Basically the
problem for roving loonies was that there are no more buildings to burn or products
to loot. BTW, did you hear that looting now falls under new Justice department guidelines
as it has now been classified as Undocumented Shopping.
You have to figure
that Eric Holder is a pretty smart guy. So I have to figure that as smart as
he is, he had to know that is focusing the might of the USA upon a local
incident in Ferguson would certainly make it a cause celeb. So you also have to
also figure that Eric and Barak are pretty good pals and between them they
probably saw Ferguson as a good new beginning for revitalizing a civil rights
awareness in America. Hey, the Prez has to have some cause for the next two
years, even if the premise is so faulty.
The second greatest
book ever written has to be the one that helps expectant parents determine
what not to buy for their child.
You have to wonder
why some people think that restricting the policeman’s ability to control
obvious crime is a good idea.
Remember when Cam
Newton and RG III were considered can’t miss QB’s?
You have to think
that a funeral for an Atheist President would be a pretty uninspiring ceremony.
A reviewer for the
new Movie about Stephen Hawking takes time at the end of his spouting to
wonder whether statements about amicability of the divorce were really
accurate. Isn’t this just so America any more – anything basically good should
be ignored and every attempt should be made to find something disparaging.
BIll Cosby is getting
killed, I mean really slaughtered. Yet, I haven’t seen anybody lobby of the
closure of library of serial philanderers JFK and Bill Clinton.
In Wednesday’s Tids
I put in a bad joke about Al Sharpton wanting to make Black Friday a day honoring
Michael Brown. It seems that my reach into absurdity turned out to be true as
groups want make Black Friday a Brown holiday, a day of retail boycotting in honor
the young thug unfortunately killed in an event of his own making.
The Answer:
Rubic’s Cube, “Bubbles” and “Little Green Army Men” made it
over the Hess Trucks, American Girl Dolls, My Little Pony, Teenage Ninja Turtles,
Fisher-Price Little People, Operation, Paper Airplanes, Pots and pans and Slip
n’ Slide. Among other icons not yet there are Raggety Ann, Monopoly and Star Wars
figures.
Well, continue to
enjoy the respite of a long weekend. See you Monday. Now it’s time for a turkey
and gravy sandwich.
