Either… Or?



Today's Tids Issue 4,500
Love over Bloviation:

Noting perks me up more than the song “Country Roads”. Almost heaven, West Virginia.

The underlying cause of the USA bitterness is this idea that there is only one way to skin a cat. That for some tainted reasoning those who believe sincerely in different things can’t coexist harmoniously.  Doesn’t that seem odd to you. Idle condemnation is the rift on the surface. Yet among real everyday people, political outcomes is really but a miniscule consideration, noise in the background in the lives of most average humans plodding the paths of life.

Now love is a different story. It is intrinsic at all levels. It is what people seek. That is probably why so many are so confused about this attention to rancor. If you find love in a parent or sibling or child, friend or mate, you really have it all despite what society may say. Love is the treasure whether rich or poor.

There have been all out wars. There have been incursions of suspect nature. But we may never witness a more ruthless intrusion into our daily routine than the battle for supremacy among streamers. Where early adopters and innovators now may only mean furthest to fall.  Like Netflix.

A good and witty reader sends in this oldie but goody: “If a cow doesn’t give milk, is it a Milk Dud or an udder failure?

The Question:
What do you think are considered the top ten Broadway Show Tunes of all time? Obviously, there is no right answer here. It just depends on what you hum.

The Headlines:
--Market Higher; JP Morgan And J&J Report Strong Earnings; United Health And Blackrock Also Up; Goldman Not So Much.
--Democrats Get Another Look At their Candidates In Ohio Debate Tonight.
--Hunter Biden Admits Biz Dealings With Ukraine “Bad Judgment”.
--Bolton Calls Giuliani A Hand Grenade; Giuliani Calls Bolton An Atomic Bomb; Leaker Inside Dem Inquisition Of Fiona Hill Says Bolton Didn’t Like Ukraine Dealings.
--30 Mexico Police Officers Murdered In Ambush Allegedly By Upcoming Mexican Drug Cartel.
--Kurds Fight Back Against Turkey Troops.
--Undercover Tapes Show CNN Prez Zucker Urging All Network Efforts In News Room Directed Against Trump Take Down.
--San Fran Shaken After 4.5 Magnitude Quake.

Another loyal reader suggests, would someone pull-ease give Hillary a Participation Trophy so she’ll think she won something.

I’m feeling a little bit in a state of depression after watching the Season Two final episode of “Succession”. Now I have to wait another year to get it started again. It was a very good finish to a season that just kept on getting stronger. And now…we wait.

Something rich, creamy and fattening is a sure cure for such emotional depression.

Don’t look now, but a new poll on Candidates for the Dem Nomination has Michelle O leading them all.

I’m just a plain old American with American tastes. At least based on the new survey of Americans about their favored candy bar. They love Reese’s, just as crave Reese’s. Maybe it’s’ because the orange wrapper matches my Cheeto bags. I’m kind of a fashionable guy. I joined a huge 36% in picking the Chocolate and salty peanut butter bar. Next was Snickers, followed by M&M’s and Hershey’s plain chocolate.

Hunter Biden says he did nothing wrong in Ukraine. Trump says he did nothing wrong in Ukraine. Is Biden impeachable too?

And, the NFL refs are calling far too many penalties this year. The mighty NFL is becoming a lot like California where everything is banned, and too many refs see things that aren’t there in order to be quite sure they have not missed enforcing a regulation. Like upsetting the police state. Life without freedom to make a small error, is no life at all.

And I would ban the phrase “Teachable Moment” in a heartbeat.  

Did you see where ABC News used a film of a big blast in Kentucky to support their story about Turkey bombing Kurd civilians.

The Answer:
The list I have used here has as #1 “Roses Turn” form Gypsy. #2 is “Ol Man River” form Showboat followed by “Finishing the Hat” from Sunday in the Park with George, “And I’m Telling You I’m not Going” from Dream Girls, “Some Enchanted Evening” form South Pacific, “Cabaret”, “Satisfied” form Hamilton, “Losing my Mind” form Follies, Ya Got Trouble” form Music Man, and at #10 “Some Other Time” from On The Town. Some Others of note are, “Memory” (12) “There’s No Business Like Show Business” (13), “You’ll Never Walk Alone” (14), “One Day More” Les Miz (15), “Don’t Rain On My Parade” (17) “Aquarius” (19), “Send in the Clowns (22), “Tonight” (24) and one of my old time favorites “I Got Rhythm. Number’s 49 and 50 are “Wouldn’t it be Loverly” and “Ease on Down The Road”.


Wouldn’t it be grand if everybody thought about love and nothing but love? If we thought of the little things we can do, little moments we feel. That each day we did something that might never be noticed, but we did it as a piece of love.

Air Supply sang a lot about L-o-v-e. Here’s one. It’s good to dream of the good in hearts:
