Today's Tids Issue 3,333
Opening Stuff:
I was thinking,
what if a mere 0.005% of Americans have leanings towards Islamic extremism?
That’s 1,600,000 people who don’t like us, about the size of Philadelphia! As
the US population grows, small demographic percentages become huge crowds of
like interests, good and bad. It can be numbers of people who like symphony orchestras,
or baseball games or eating hot fudge sundaes with a touch of caramel. Or it
can be on the negative side -- people, who want to steal from or injure others,
or shoot somebody because of highway rage…or set up internal attacks on the
country for the benefit of some idealistic objective foreign to the US
constitution and basic moral principles. Just a thought about numbers, because
there is a bell curve for every segment of society. It’s just the way it works.
Any time you’re
looking for a few good Goosebumps, take in a performance of Les Miz.
The way I see it,
Tom Brady and The NE Pats were basically convicted and sentenced for talking
back to the NFL police state.
The Question:
The curtain is coming down on this season’s American Idol.
Over the past 14 years, the show has helped produce big bucks for performers in
the show. Which of the performers do you think have accumulated the highest net
worth. Hint, it isn’t season 9 winner Lee DeWyze who is only sittingon $50K. Bonus: What are the four main
demographic ethnic groupings of Muslims in America?

I see where ex-CIA
Chief Morell said that “At the same time that the Obama administration was
talking about al-Qaida being on the run, the CIA was briefing the White House
about the spread of al-Qaida’s ideology.” The much ballyhooed Arab Spring was
not a move towards peace, but a boom opportunity for al-Qaida. What’s really
scary about Morell’s thoughts, basically part of a book tour, is that he says
there are now more threats against the US than in history. I may stop using the
Newport Bridge.
Headline: More
laws will not prevent crazed shootings.” The operative would here is “Crazed”.
There’s no truth
to the rumor that the NFL is suspending Hillary from 5 debates, fining her the
equivalent of six foreign country contributions and taking away two Cabinet
member draft picks.
Pacific Bell has
a notice, “Phone out of order? Give us a call.”
It was double
performance night on The Voice last night with several good performances,
and Sawyer leading the way again-- twice. I think that biggest move after the
smooth singing kid was made by an off the salvage heap singer India Carney who is
now living up to o=her original promise. I like Meghan as number three and I’m
getting tired of Joshua, although He has one of the better voices. Koryn was outstanding
for a couple of weeks, but now is drowning in sameness. We are down to the
final stages with the winner to be announced a week from today. It will be
sawyer. He’s just better. And , popular
BTW, American Idol’s
winner will be announced and as I said last week it should based io=n
originality and creativity be Jax (Who I don’t particularly like personally).
But, the cute boy vote must be considered and Nick One Note seems to be in the non-descript
mold of previous male winners.
I have finally
figured out why I’m having trouble finding my jackets. The weather on an
Island is always abit colder at this time of year, so I bring a jacket to my
car just in case. Typically though, it isn’t as cold as originally thought, so
then jacket remains in the back seat where I threw it. And the pile grows and grows,
along witn a array of hats.
I’m finally learning
that in golf what you did well yesterday, has to be reconsidered for
tomorrow. Maybe life is a little like that too – adjustments, always
adjustments, but never intrinsic value change.
The Answer:
Every Season winner is worth over $1 Million, except DeWyze.
Many non-winners* have done better than winners. David Cook is at $5 Mil.
Counting down we have Katherine McPhee* (6), Clay Aiken* (6), Chris Daughtry*
(8.5), Jorden Sparks* (10), Adam Lambert* (12), Jennifer Hudson* (20), Kelly
Clarkson (28) and Carrie Underwood leading the pack with $70,000,000. Bonus: 24% of Muslims in America are
African Americans, 26 % are Arab Americans and 26% are South Asian. 24% are in
the “all Other” category.
If it’s so hot
outside, why am I having all of these chills: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbviXG_56ss
