Today's Tids Issue

For Decisions:
I
am not keen about the new Presidential Alert beaming into my
phone. I have always enjoyed being somewhere where people are not. And now the
government will track me to my dens of solitude.
I
was standing the supermarket checkout line when the
bagger, and customers broke out into riotous laughter…including myself. The
Checkout person said to a woman customer, “I have always wanted an orange cat,
so I could name it Cheeto!” (I had nothing to do with it. I wasn’t even buying
the snack aphrodisiac at the time.)
The
NPAA (National Professional Activists Association) must
be way too busy condemning Kav. Haven’t you noticed, there is nary a smear on
Columbus this year.
The
Question:
When I was a kid at Halloween, we knew the good
houses and the bad houses for picking up goodies, and we knew what we didn’t
want to get to fill our bags of sweet reassures. What do you think kids like least
today?
The
Headlines:
--March To 27,000 Dow On Hold As New Concerns About
Slow/Low Growth Outside Of USA Clouds Enthusiasm.
--Kav FBI Report Sealed And Delivered To Senate;
Vote Expected Friday.
--Chinese Spy Microchips Found In Apple And Amazon
Computers.
--Lawsuit Issued To Block FEMA “Presidential Alert”
As 1st Amendment Violation.
--Judge Blocks Trump From Ending Protections For
Illegal Immigrants.
--Putin Expected To Sign Arms Deal With India.
--Amazon Min Wage Hike Eliminates Bonuses For
Warehouse Workers.
--FEMA Assures America That Trump Wil Not Be Able To
Tweet To All Through The Narew Presidential Alert Apparatus.
The
Noble Peace Prize winner will be announced Friday. It won’t
be DT Trump. Here are the winners to date: Chemistry – Frances H. Arnold
(Evolution of Enzymes), George P. Smith and Sir Gregory P. Winter (Phage
display of Peptides and antibiotics); For Physics (Advances in Laser Physics) –
Arthur Ashkin, Gerard Mourou, Donna Strickland; Medicine (New Principle of
Cancer Therapy) – James P. Allison, Tausku Honjo. Did you notice that the
middle initial of all men with MI’s was “P”? Maybe they’ll give the Peace Prize
to South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in. Note: There will be no NP for
Literature this year due to a sex scandal. Say what?
The
top eight cable news shows are Hannity, Rachel M, Tucker
Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Lawrence O’Donnell, The Five, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
I only listed these – 6 Fox and 2 MSNBC – to point out that the top CNN show
only made it to #23 – Cuomo. On the overall ratings, Fox won the day for the 67th
Quarter in a row! Here’s what is really interesting. While all the above top
cable show audiences were in the low millions, Digital news from the cable
networks is soaring. For instance, Fox Digital had 6.5 Billion viewers in the
last quarter. So, guess – where do you think the networks (And Papers and
radio) are seeing their future? If you ain’t on line you ain’t so fine.
Yesterday
I received $25 from something called a Mellon Bank
settlement. $25 Bucks. The lawyers probably got $80 Million. But they need me,
and that’s good for my self-esteem.
If
you want to get high on trendy stocks you should be analyzing
Canopy and Tilray. These two Canadian cannabis companies are positioning
themselves to fly when pot gets the nod for full commercialization. For instance,
The Tilray IPO has soared, up 8 times it’s opening price --- since July. It
just announced a $400,000,000 debt sale. While these two are probably the most
stable of the companies in the field, the real thinking is that they will be
gobbled up by biggies like Anheiser-Busch or yes Coca Cola. (Note: the reason
so much attention is focused on Canadian companies is because the market there
is more mature than the fledgling activities in the US. But, there will
companies to watch here, too.)
Moral
decay, Department:
Here’s a nice new trend in America (For the disingenuous,
that is) – Home Buyers are lying more on their mortgage applications ow than
every before. How sad is that?
If
lying is becoming more commonplace, how in the world will
we ever get rid of litterers.
I
still enjoy the challenge of finding my way without
the use of GPS.
I
just figured out why so many people are Boo-ing US Repub
Senators – it’s the month of Halloween.
Well,
like the NE Pats, the Tids-Pickers seemed to emerge from
their malaise. A pretty good week aided by at least three amazing comebacks
vaulted the weeks record to 11-4 and a season 35-26-2. Tonight is the renewal
of a one-time bitter rivalry. It’s the Pats against the Colts, the whiners who
blew the whistle on alleged deflated balls. Pats will win it. A game of the
week pits KC against Jacksonville. KC had to sweat last week, but they are home
and Mahomes is for real and very cool; they beat a Tough Jax. Other notable
games could be Bengals-Dolphins, Steelers-Falcons, Raiders-Chargers, Vikes-Eagles,
Browns-Ravens and perhaps Lions who always play the Pack tough. Of those I’m
picking KC at home, the Bengals who look quite good, the Raiders, Steelers
(Nervously), Eagles to bounce back and Detroit as my big upset. I think that Browns-Ravens
is a mystery. The Browns are solid and the Ravens seem legit. I’m thinking the
Erie lakeside Roar will boost the Browns. For the rest of the picks I go Rams
over Seahawks, Texans over Cowboys, Skins over Saints, Niners over Cards,
Bronco “D” too much for J-e-t-s, Titans over Bills and Panthers over Giants.
Green
grocers earn a meager celery, come home beet and just want
to read the pepper, take a leek, turnip the covers endive into bed.
I
think the holes in the pants fashion has run its day. It
wasn’t too awful when those holes were made from wear through earnest activity.
But, premade at the manufacturing is a little too much. What was their
objective anyhow – to make the homeless feel good.
One
of the more non-sensical presidential things I have seen is
Trump going after Ford at a rally while three key senators who don’t
particularly like the President sit on the fence trying to rationalize a vote
for Kavanaugh.
America
used
to be better when people felt guilt.
The
Answer:
Well the number one things kids didn’t want were
religious pamphlets. And you can’t blame kids for not wanting Razor apples!
Ouch! After those we have toothbrushes, veggies, Splenda, pencils, circus
peanuts, raisins, pennies, Leftover Easter candy, Licorice, Coupons, “Drugs”
(Yes there are those who would try to get kids hooked on H Day.), Apples, plastic
spider rings, generic hard candy, popcorn balls, and at number 20 – Trail mix.
I agree with all of the above.
Never
has the concept of innocent until proven guilty been more
abused than it has been in the case of Kavanaugh. Most reasonable people have
not said that Ford hadn’t been assaulted, but that it wasn’t necessarily Kavanaugh
– based on the evidence (Or lack thereof) and her and his testimony. And the
press has done the SC candidate an injustice by not reporting the actual
situation accurately, always implying guilt upon Kav. Maybe he is, maybe he
isn’t. But a assuming before innocence is just not the way US justice is
supposed to work. And, by the way, the president should be muffled.
Oh
yeah, this has never been about Ford and her misfortune,
and the guilt or innocence of Kav, but only about stopping any conservative person
from getting into the Supreme Court.
Maybe
I shouldn’t be typing this. The Presidential Alert system
maybe looking over my shoulder.
