Grandstanding TV.



Today's Tids Issue 4380
Get Real:

I try to wake up slowly, easing the infliction of inane tension on my body. For one thing I never turn on the manic morning TV. Too much of an assault on my contentment. Soft non-intrusive music is the answer.

Speaking of abrupt mental intrusions, what’s with this seething anger from Hawaii Senator Hirono. I think she needs help. I always thought the Senate was the deliberative, intelligent body of congress.

Last night I had the delightful experience of going to a restaurant with no noise, like we could hear each other talk. No, that’s not a typo, it actually happened. It was a brand-new restaurant in an old refurbished factory, and the designers found a way to dampen the echoing noise. I once asked an owner of a brand-new restaurant built from scratch about why he used very material known to man that didn’t absorb sound, in fact intensified the resonation. He said that younger diners like to feel part of the buzz. I think he just had a thing against people with hearing aids.

So, maybe, restaurateurs are waking to the fact that shouting at each other for an hour and a half is not good for digestion. Nor for mental stability. But good for selling drinks to dampen the ruckus.

The Question:
What great Confederate General died after being accidentally shot by his own men. Bonus: Who were Albert Von Tilzer and Jack Norworth?

The Headlines:
--Markets Mixed; Dow Down, Nasdaq Up; Apple Soared After Yesterday’s Late News.
--After Yesterday’s Comedy Show, Barr Decides Not To Testify Before An Even More Bitter House.
--Colorado Senator Michael Bennet Latest To Squeeze Into Dem Field Of Candidates.
--Dems Say trump Agreed To 2 Trillion Infrastructure Deal; Now Top Dems And Prez Will meet Over Drug Costs.

Whoops! After yesterday’s early intros into Derby hopefuls, this morning it was announced that favorite Omaha Beach was scratched due to a cough. Scratchy throat? But they now say that the field is w-i-d-e open. But, I expect that by derby time news reports will establish another favorite, sentimental or real.

Since William Barr had nothing to do with what Mueller reported, you have to figure that the Dems are trying to discredit him because he is leading the way on several investigations of Democrat shenanigans during the election.

Have you ever noticed during these congressional hearings that after the inquisitor stops rambling, the person in the hot seat sits their dumbfounded in awkward silence? That moves the inquisitor to add, “That’s my question?” What a farce.

There must be a lot of money to be made by running for President. Why else would so many people who nobody ever heard of with little chance of even showing up on a poll vie for this elusive prize.

One of the real problems of digital newspapers is that the demise of printed papers has robbed me of my favorite small paint job drop cloths.  

And, will pirate’s hats be lost forever.

Here’s how ludicrous these hearings about condemnation of Barr over the Mueller report are. In a letter form the DoJ yesterday, it was revealed that the key Dems refused to look at, or acknowledge the receipt of the Mueller report with less than 1.5% redactions totally, 0.01% Part Two, voluntarily delivered by Barr and his people. How would they sustain their feigned anger if they were to say think you AG Barr for the full report.?  F---ing sad.

I don’t know about you, but the only time I have ever witnessed a person eating Chinese food out of a carton is in movies or on TV. Chinese food has always been better when shared. I think most normal humans who live in the real world would take portions to a plate. Directors must think it is cute.

I’m going to open an English Restaurant that touts, no Mexican, no Asian infusions. Just plain old humdrum meals that taste good.

The Answer:
Even as an avowed northerner, I always had soft spot in my boyish heart for General Thomas Jonathon “Stonewall” Jackson, born in Clarksburg West Virginia (Note: West Virginia In1824 didn’t have the “West” yet. (And I don’t mean Jerry.) It was just Virginia.) Bonus: Norworth and Von Tilzer wrote the words (Norworth) and Music (Von Tilzer) for, “Take me out to the Ballgame”. Are you humming yet?

Jaundiced minds at Work, Department:
Basically, yesterday, the Dems used their feigned agitation against Barr as a release of their intense dislike of Trump. I loved watching Barr joust with the ridiculous. Barr should resign? What a joke.

Always enjoy this song. Great concert rendition:
