Laughing through the weekend.

 

Today's Tids Issue 4,766

The Crunch:

 

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

 

Some people take rainy days an insult. More people look at rainy days as refreshing the earth.

 

Sad State of America, Department:

Walmart announced that until a safe time following the election, they will remove all guns and ammo from their stores. This is as a reaction to the possibility of riots and looting by people who don’t understand the idea about how Americans vote for their governments.

 

I still have a lot of faith for recovery in the Stock market to muddle through the Covid induced downturn…with a little help from our friends. It is not exactly the kind of help I would design because it involves too much Government intervention, But right now the prospects for Stimulus after the election remains strong, In Europe, the ECB pretty much promised today to infuse money in December to keep their economies flowing.

 

We have enough youth. How about a Fountain of Smart?

 

The Question:

What are considered the top five “Silent” films?

 

The Headlines:

--Wall Street Depression Continues; Tech Laden Nasdaq Leads Stocks Down; Dow And S&P Also Sluggish; FAANG Earnings Reports Not Good Enough To Support Run-Ups.

--Louisiana Dismayed At Daunting Damage From Zeta. Power Out For Millions; 6 Dead.

--FBI Investigation On Hunter Biden Is Ongoing; Bobulinski Interviewed By 6 Agents On October 23.

--Swings State Poll Numbers Changing Regularly. Trump Appears Strong In Ohio, But Biden Looks Stronger In Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania And Even Georgia.

--In JH National Covid Report, New Infections Now Occurring At Less Than One A Second.

 

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

 

The early consensus is that without Florida, Trump can’t win. Just in case you are wondering why the two candidates are soaking up the sun on the Covid active beaches

 

Have you noticed when reading news headlines that a great percentage of them are just about inane happenings and mostly gossip? There a lot “Who Cares” info out there posing as news.

 

I thought I’d send out some funny one liners’. I don’t think this weekend will be funny. Obviously, could find any.

 

If money can’t buy happiness, how come MacDonald’s continues to sell happy meals?

 

I’m’ beginning to see the arguments arising about which of the two candidates are most corrupt. That’s what I call a sad day in America. A lot of it comes from Biden’s campaign trying to lay the ground work for their candidate to be looked upon more kindly compared to the Prez, despite the corruption argument. From Joel Mathis of “The Week”: “Even if Joe Biden turns out to be irredeemably corrupt, he is no match for President’s Trumps epic underhandedness.” Makes you feel good about America, doesn’t it. But, PR people are always looking ahead, and now they have to ponder a “What if it is true” defense. Knowing that there are always shenanigans when policing are involved is one thing, But knowing aw way too much about it focuses the national discussion salacious minutia instead of what needs to get done for all.

 

I’m feeling pretty good about myself. The puzzle I bought asid “3-5 years”. I finished it 18 months.

 

The Answer:

Are the streamers like Netflix running out of movies? Maybe we’ll have out go silent, which would be refreshing considering this Political season. #1 Best Silent is Charlie Chaplin in “The Gold Rush”. The rest are Emil Jannings in The Last Command, Chaplin again in City Lights, Chaplin in the Kid, Janet Gaynor in 7th Heaven, Janet Gaynor and George O’Brien in Sunrise, Buster Keaton in Steamboat Bill, Buster Keaton in The General, Harold Lloyd in Safety Last and Clara Bow, Richard Arlen, Buddy Rogers and Jobyna Ralston in Wings.

 

I’ts not the fall that kills you. It’s the sudden stop at the end.

 

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