I cannot comprehend a world without butter.




Today's Tids Issue 3,758
For Reindeer:

Hey, everybody…it is winter. Yes, this is the shortest day, which means I have much less time to write your morning mess. But, I’m feeling good writing as tomorrow begins the slow road back to summer! How great is that.

I clearly remember that day in 1961 when one the great American inventions hit the news – the arrival of Mrs. Butterworth Syrup. Talk about aphrodisiac!

Fake news is a hot topic, but the bigger threat to an informed populace may be Biased reporting. Fake news is generally the product of amateurs with no credibility, but misleading reporting is a black art supposedly fine-tuned by professional reporters, which to many gives it unwarranted credibility.

When boomers move into the over 80 years old demographic by 2025, there will not be enough housing that could accommodate their aging needs. In addition, the cost of housing is expected to rise dramatically to a point in 2035 where many of the of the lower income Boomer SS’s could be paying 50% of their income for housing. Yikes. It is said that only 5% of today’s housing is good for comfortable and convenient old person existence – i.e. zero step entries, narrow halls and all on one floor living. My crystal ball is saying this is an enormous building industry opportunity…as long as they don’t mess with my back yard.

The Question:

During the recent spate of talk about Russian hacking, “O” was fond of saying “17 intelligence agencies are saying the same thing (About Russia’s involvement)”. The big question though is; Why do we have 17 intelligence agencies doing the same thing?

By the way, have you noticed how the Russia hacking thing has stopped now that the Electoral process has been completed.

I read a headline this morning that said, “A new bill has been proposed in state legislature that would allow teachers to wish their classes a “Merry Christmas”. How sad, that we can be just us.

A new story just getting legs describes White House Intimidation Of The Department Of Energy To “Further Its Climate Change Agenda.” Sounds like it could be fun to follow. I’m sending two reporters to Washington. Although I am hearing rumbles from their children and spouses about missing Christmas. News doesn’t stop…unless congress goes home for Christmas.

The excuse against having Christmas in class rooms has recently been because “the schools are paid for by the government”. I always thought the schools were paid for by the taxpayers, the people. The government theoretically pays for nothing, but take ownership of everything.

I suspect that there is a large percentage of Americans who have no clue as to the true meaning of the word Impeachment.

Two powerful leftie publishing operations, Slate Magazine and The Old Grey Lady of NYC are beginning the battle to eliminate the Electoral College. It’s a no brainer for the left for they should always have the major constituency in the big urban coastal states, the main reason the EC was considered in the first place, but of course, if Trump does what he said he would do and gets inside the big cities to begin improving life there, then Dems may be shooting themselves in the foot by eliminating the college. And that is exactly why they are against guns.

As predicted here last week that it wouldn’t be long after the Electoral victory for Trumperino for the anti-Trump angry diverse men and women crowd to mention the “I” word. They have.

Too many sports commentators and columnists think they are way more important than they are. Give them a little power, like voting for Hall of famers, and they become completely boorish.

It is not a coincidence that banal rhymes with anal.

A Trump Press Secretary may have little to do as the Boss tweets instead of meets.

The Answer:
It is Alibaba Singles Day. The last event in November $17.8 Billion was sold. There were 100,000 merchants participating. Yikes! This year the company brought virtual reality onto their platform so customers could better experience certain products. We may want to be isolated, but commerce is more than ever global.

Santa had a little deer,
Who had the name of Rain.
He learned to fly
Up in the sky,
And will bring Ho-Ho’s again!

I’ll be watching the moon of December 24.
