Today's Tids Issue 3,598
Opening Stuff:
Well,
it appears that super speechwriter and columnist Peggy Noonan has a conundrum: “I
don’t whether to vote for the criminal or the crazy person.”
I
think I have to go down and stare at the ocean. It’s
so alive. It’s so resourceful. It is the repository of so much nourishment. It
is filled with the range of emotions, from intense rage to perfect calm. It
always sorts itself out from its extremes. Watching the waves rise and fall and
crash upon the shore is far better than reading a book. You create your own
pages, your own mysteries, your own romances. It is filled with stories of the
past and present, and you can always feel them if you try hard enough. It
touches all shores and all those different people upon them; standing there looking out to sea, like me; maybe waters trickling over
toes of someone miles away the way the icy fingers touch mine now. with the deep
and relentless sea we are one. Who have I touched today.
An
NBC Poll has Trump moving up to a near tie with
the Hill (Who looked like a solid winner two weeks ago). And last night a Fox
News “Registered voters poll” has Trump Moving ahead of Hillary 45 – 52. Yikes.
But here is the kicker. The same poll has Bernie ahead of Trump 48 to 42. Is
this just the beginning of a new era in the USA? Doesn’t it appear that the momentum in the US
seems to be for socialism? Obama said there would be change and he was more
right than we gave him credit for. He created an environment for A Bernie to
thrive, for a Trump to take the GOP away from conservatism. I’m going out to buy
a case of Lipton. It’s time for the Tea Party again. And, the “T” in Trump
doesn’t stand for Tetley.
The
Question:
Name five of the most common opiates of today that
ruining lives and randomly killing. Bonus:
Today’s Tids seems to be a little lethargic – o r maybe that’s me this morn –
but I thought I’d use a little trick that seems to awaken Americans and go culturally
inane. Name three of Justin Bieber’s man crushes? I think I have achieved the
American dream of wasting time on nothing

It’s
highly likely that after talking confidentially
to a younger person, when you hang up she or he will “Tweet it out”. “Tweeting
it out” the latest of narcotics with the power to rip apart societies. Remember
when gossip was over the backyard fence. It all started with, “You didn’t hear
this from me,” and in a few days the which the juicy stuff which wasn’t “to be
told to anyone” was known by 7 or 8 people. And for two weeks two of these people
didn’t talk to the originator. But now, “tweeting it out” can bring it to millions
in seconds, with bitter, acrimonious sides forming immediately. The venom is most
often based on much ado about thing at all, but venom none the less. The anger
is warming. Venom is rising faster than the ocean.
Gracie
Allen’s recipe for roast beef: “Buy a large roast beef
and a small roast beef. Put the large and small beefs in the oven. When small
beef burns, the large beef is ready.” You have to know Gracie.
I
fine myself every time I use “Then”.
Did
you ever give a little talk and walk back to your seat thinking
that it went well, and then sat down and realized you missed the point!
Yes,
it is true, official, as if we didn’t already know.
Repub pollster Daron Shaw and Dem Pollster Chris Anderson together have announced:
Clinton and Trump now rate as the most unpopular candidates of all time! How
revolting.
Maybe
Trump is borrowing his strategy from the Tech
Industry which calls all of it’s new innovations “Smart” this or that, implying
that existing products are basically dumb. And that people using them are even
dumber.
“What
a revolting development,” sounds like something Ralph Kramden
might have said, but it was Jackie Gleason as the main character in Life of
Riley who made it famous. It certainly defines the current political mess
pretty accurately.
Facebook
Billionaire Zuckerberg had a meeting with conservative
media people yesterday to say, “Don’t worry about a thing.” That’s when you
really should start worrying. Actually, everybody said the meeting went well
except the guy who wasn’t there who said it was a stunt. Unfortunately people
routinely believe the person without the facts.
The
Answer:
Here are what are considered the Top 10 Worst
Drugs in the world: #10. Bath Salts (A Designer drug like Ecstasy or meth) #9
Benzodiazepines #8. Crystal Meth
#7 Ketamine 6. Street Methadone
5. Cocaine #4 Opiates #3 Heroin
#2 LSD… and the worst drug of all…#1 “Devils Breath (Also known as
Scopolamine, it has the power to eliminate free will and wipe out memory. Serious
problem in that it can be blown in the face of a person walking down the street
and within minutes the person is helpless without free will. Frightening, eh. Bonus: Ok, I think The Bieb is
downright scary, and very disturbed child. I feel disturbed writing about him,
and even considering man crushes. His top three are Ryan Gosling Bill Nye
Science Guy and Taye Diggs. Continuing down the Bieb man dream list we find
Bill Murray, Drake and James Dean,
A wave washed over me.
It knocked me flat on my face, scraping my head on clam shells; broke my
glasses as I fell wrenching my knee; ruined my smart phone with salt water;
tore a hole in the only good suit I have left. I gotta stop dreaming walking by
the ocean. How revolting.
