Too much airtime, not enough news.

Today's Tids Issue 4,110

For when there's nothing better to do:

I’m getting a case of the blues

Because I just entirely refuse

To take gossip as daily news,

Or lauding all those that lose.
Journalists without clues.

It’s all become a giant snooze.

Hell, I may return to booze.

The last thing I should choose!

The Loons are back, Department:

To be “fair”, a town his forbidding the use of the phrase “Best Friend” in pre-schools. This is obviously opt help self-esteem of tots who can’t find best friends. You cannot regulate equality.

I was really happy to see the pardon of Scooter Libby. His conviction was a pollical travesty.

Is QE II preparing to step down? Could she move aside after the wedding of Harry, and let Charles sit in the throne? Lot’s of innuendo out there.

The Question:

USA Today has annual poll called SOS – Save are Shows, which asks readers to vote on which TV “Bubble” shows they would like to see saved. What shows do you think were the top three shows?

The Headlines:

--Markets Expected To be Sluggish

--Kim Agrees That US Troops Can Stay In SK, A Major Step As Meeting Negotiations Continue.

--Two More Police Officers Murdered In Cold Blood Diring Ambush.

--Killer Grandmother Captured After Nationwide Search.

--Lack of Trust Eroding World Trade Agreements.

--Trump Comey Continue Sniping.

Chefs obviously like the sound of “Brioche” because that is the only reason anybody would serve anything on that typically crumbly, mealy tasteless bun.

Headline Juxtaposition: A doctor advice column headlined, “Starvation diets are not good for you” was situated just above the ad headline, “Iggy’s (Fried) Doughboys”. Hmmm – Foodless or rich gooey fried dough.

Just in case you are thinking of going on Jeopardy you should know that this morning King Mswati III of Swaziland has changed the name of his country to eSwatini! Swaziland has become a web site. Maybe that’s so international foreign aid checks can get their sooner.

And the I found your basic RI Standing headline: 2 RI Senators Against (Fill in the blank) This time it was Pompeo. The puppets strike again.

Social media makes one brainless, acidic remark by a disgruntled Fresno State professor national news.

Ideological politics are sucking the life out of the USA.

Scariest Headline:

“Home intruder found nude in bathtub eating Cheetos.” Uh-Oh, there goes another pastime.

The Boston Red Sox are playing out of this world right now.

Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:

--I Feel Pretty is another of those message movies but doesn’t make it, as Amy Schumer and pals try to battle low self-esteem in a comedy with few laughs. Maybe she doesn’t have any “Best Friends”.

--The second loser of the weekend Super Troopers 2, which is even a less funny comedy than Schumer’s. This one is outrageous , crass and annoying and not worth the dough

The Answer:

Kiefer Sutherland’s Designated Survivor is #1. Personally it had a chance to be much better but was to ideologically driven, and Kiefer, as far as I was concerned was a wimp. Next is Timeless followed by the long-term “Black List”. Others include one of my favorites “Fresh Off the Boat” (Always sit there smiling), Scorpion and Brooklyn Ninety-Nine. Shows on the bottom failing to get fan support are Great News, Living Biblically and Campions.

Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
