For America:
Yesterday
thousands of proud as punch legal immigrants from countries
around the world congregated on fields, and in wide halls across America to be
sworn in as US Citizens. The smiles were broad and rapturous. You could feel
the energy and the love. This long term American tradition of welcoming
citizens everywhere to the USA barely made the news.
This
time of year is one of my favorites, when the orange
daylilies first appear alongside meandering country lanes next to stone walls,
amidst broad fields of new grown hay ready for mowing.
Creeping
socialism is a lot like creeping Yankeeism up here – You’re
sitting comfortably in your own little New England haven, then one day, all of
a sudden, you are surrounded by people wearing pin stripes.
Whiteboards
are
quite remarkable.
The
Question:
Which three countries have the largest oil reserves
in the world? Bonus: What Country
eats the most Mac n’ Cheese of any country in the world? Extra Bonus: What is the most Educated Country in the World? Super Bonus: All of the names of the
fifty US states only use 25 letters of the alphabet. Which one is missing?

A
lot of news segments this week have been devoted to
offering ways to “Beat the Heat”. The Tids comfort editor has his own remedy.
Number One: Stop talking about it like it has never happen before. Two: Stop
watching “Beat the Heat” segments. When the weather people come on the tube
standing before these gigantic threatening
bright red maps, immediately run to the kitchen to find your favorite snack* to
be munchable ready when real news comes back. *Preferably Cheetos or Chester’s
Cheese Puffs.
Just
to give you one example of just how far away we are from
becoming a nation that can agree, or at least compromise on just about anything
important – Th socialist left wing of the Democrat party said yesterday that Bernie
Sanders is “Too far Right Wing”. I think we have a chasm.
Democrat
politicians beholden to big labor continually push for
the AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.),
saying it is because that union protects workers from their employer’s
dastardly deeds. Well there was time when workers had to be protected by the
government from some “Greedy corporate types”. But these weasels are saying
that the workers have to be protected by the government from the government.
Huh? Oh yeah, in this state here it makes even less sense as a vast majority of
legislators are former union workers or big labor cheeses.
The
security measures recently instituted by various Internet giants
like Yahoo, Google et.al. maybe impeding the delivery of the beloved Tids to
your inbox. Hell, my copy I send to myself goes to spam from time to time. Check
Spam! And, you can always go to worldviewetc.blogspot.com. It is always there in
full color with pictures. Tanks you. – The
Management.
I
have a lot of CD’s, mainly classical music, and I have investigated
converting them but found the process much to tedious. But, CD’s do wear out
and I replace them from time to time. But, CD sales are on the decline and big
stores with large sections will be cutting back, Best Buy, for instance, had
sold 942,500,000 in 2000 versus 88 Mil tis year. All of the big CD sellers of
yore are taking a closer look at CD selling. I guess I will have to take a
closer look at replacement solutions. I have a cellar full of 33 Vinyl’s and
now they may be joined by nearly 500 CDs. My grave yard of beautiful things
past.
If
you read news about President Obama and some of his dealings
with other Iran and other countries, you find that the left thinks he is just being
friendly and nice, while the right thinks he should be tried for treason.
Did
you hear about the mathematician who was afraid of
negative numbers? He’d stop at nothing to avoid them.
The
broader Press seems to have their eyes focused on and
hearts beating for one self-described socialist democrat congressional
candidate from one district in NY. It’s one of those titillation rushes you see
from our fourth estate from time to time. Is it because journalism graduates
are trained to be partial to the growth of socialism in the US? Or did they
just grow up that way.
Rhode
Island announced yesterday that it would be the first state in
the union to sue Big Oil for climate change! I’m thinking it’s because they are
running out of money from the cigarette suit
jackpot.
Are
alligators becoming more aggressive or are we just getting greater
news coverage than ever before.
The
Answer:
Today’s Question Was really all about Canada. Yes,
Canada is one of the three countries with the biggest in oil reserves behind
only Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Canadians love their Mac n’ Cheese, which they
must eat while studying hard to get more college degrees per capita than any other
nation. The word Canada in Iroquois means “Village”. The total national population
is smaller than Metropolitan Tokyo. Canada has the longest coast line of any
country and is second largest after Russia. After Pearl Harbor, Canada was the
first country to declare war on Japan, even before the US. Super Bonus: Q is the only letter not used in any state name. “J”
and “Z” are only used once in New Jersey and Arizona. “B” is only used twice as
in Alabama and Nebraska, as is “X” in Texas and New Mexico. The only other letter
with fewer than five appearances in state names is “P” – Pennsylvania, New
Hampshire and Mississippi. The Double “P” in Ole’ Miss gives it total of four.
So, to be fair to the alphabet, I guess we’ll have to annex either Qatar, Iraq,
Mozambique or Equatorial Guinea and make one a state.
Well,
tomorrow is the Fourth of July. Americans will rise
up and show off their Red, White and Blue pride, and maybe even drown out for a
while the growing hate America coalitions. God Bless America, Land that I love.
Stand beside her and guide her thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains,
To the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam.
God – Bless – America.
My Home sweet home.
