Today's Tids Issue 3,454
Opening Stuff:
The
Repubs, all of them looked very good last night, and they
also to have their heads on straight. They certainly gave their hungry constituents
lots of good GOP raw meat. For instance, I could easily vote for Chris
Christie. And, Ben Carson looked like the Sage on the Stage. While not in the
spotlight, he made good use of his time. He displayed a level head filled with a
good brain. Rubio also looked good, but I’m not sure about him yet. Huck had a
good night and I loved his Government runaway blimp analogy. Carley was
accurate and thorough and pretty tough, but she doesn’t ignite the love needed
for a November victory. Bush was Bush again, and while it doesn’t bother me, it
turns off Repubs looking for something special. Ted Cruz was outstanding one
more time. He is one smart guy, and has pretty good story (Like Rubio) about
what America can do for people who start
with little. He just has to get beyond Democrat demagoguery. Kasich has a great
story of success in a very important electoral state. I’m not sure he connects
well enough to run in the top spot. I generally look to Rand to say something cool
and thoughtful, but he didn’t have much last night. Oh, did I forget Donald Trump.
Actually Trump being a little less noisy looked a lot better to me. He had some
pretty good moments and din’t hurt himself. All in all, I saw 10 people who would
be a better president for “All” Americans than you know who.
I
hear college kids talking about their music, citing pretty
cool bands not on the Pop charts. I like investigating music in general looking
for new sounds. So going to the college scene often turns up some pretty good
new sounds. For the most part, I have never heard of any of them. College kids like
it that way, having their own, by passed by the masses.
But
then, I bet that none of the erudite children of the
current campii ever heard of Stan Rubin and the “Tigertown Five”.
Now
that I have been properly repatriated to the Republican
party I’m ready to promote Cheeto’s a symbol of freedom; the
essence of real choice. It’s far more than a tasty snack ... it is the essence
of the US principle of independence. Where your orange fingers with pride.
Leave your imprint on government food pyramids, and WHO food reports. America
is all about less government intrusion and self determination. Stick by your
Cheetos. Be a leader.
The
Question:
Double
“Q+” Day: 1. What
do you think are the top 10 top selling Halloween costumes for small children? 2. What are the Top Halloween costumes

An Obama mask did not make the Scariest costume list this year. Name five of the
scariest, and guess at the most inappropriate.

This
looks like a potentially dreadful week for Pickin’.
Last week was fair bringing The TSD YTD to 67-39, moving our percentage up a
notch to 63.6%. Miami is on fire, but
they are coming up into the stadium at Patriot’s Place. The Pats are still hurting,
but not in their hearts. Pats. There are really no simple picks this week,
especially when you consider the possibility of upsets at any given moment.
London England didn’t get a winner with the Lions and Chiefs. KC has to win
this one. St. Louis “D” will bottle up San Fran. Drew Brees looks comfortable
again and the Giants look confused. Saints.
I’ve been on the Minn train, but I’m going Chi at home. Houston looks dreadful
and Tenn has shown sparks of life. Titans. Atlanta should beat TB. I love Cleveland
but Arizona is pretty good although not away. Close one to the Cards. Baltimore
will finally win another. Oakland has been a big surprise and the Jets are
pretty good. Carr won’t do so well against Jets D and Revis. Jets. Is Roethlisberger
playing, that is the question. Cinn-Pitt is always a war, but I’m thinking the
Bennies are for real. Dallas has Become America’s underdog. Seattle needs to
put 2 in a row together. I’m going Seahawks. Indy at Carolina would have been a
headliner until Indy, and Luck, forgot how to play good football. The Panthers to
Continue. The marquis game has to be GB at Denver; mobile Rogers against
increasingly sluggish Manning. But this is still a tossup to me. Denver is
tough at home and I’m picking Orange to match my Cheeto stained fingers.
Scoring
the Debate Department:
Here’s some info that may help quantify the
results of the debate. –New Twitter signups: Ben Carson was tops at 6,500,
Rubio next at 4,200 and Trump third with 3,700. Last was Huck at 400 just ahead
of Bush with 700. –Rubio, Cruz and Christie made the biggest leaps last night
according to several and varied debate reviewers.
A
company called “Eat this, not that” has issued a list of
killer diet sodas. Do you get the feeling that a company with that kind of
nanny state name might have an agenda in mind? The big problem, claims the
company that doesn’t like what people eat and drink, is weight gain. The company
tested 38 Diet sodas and the worst soda in the world title went to Diet Mountain
Dew. The five best to drink they say are the #1 “Fruity” Bai5 Bubbles, another
fruity drink “Hint Kick”, Zevia Ginger Root beer, Sprite Zero and Diet 7-Up.
The two leading sellers, Diet Pepsi and Diet Coke are 9 and 11. The caffeine free versions of
those are considered slightly better for you. Am I paying attention to this? I
don’t think so.
Commenting
on my Toyota ad observation yesterday, a reader says
he has trouble telling the difference between a news report on ISIS activity
and a Toyota truck ad.
