Bring back sanity

 


Today's Tids Issue 4,829

PT Barnum:

 

“A wise man once said, nothing.”

 

Joe Biden’s early moves to unity are telling me he hasn’t a clue about what’s on the minds of the people he says he’s trying to unify. Unless, he is only trying to unify the extreme left with the so-called rest of the moderate Dems.

 

This just in. “Democrat leadership in the Senate with the full support of all Dem Senators have reinstated Trump as President! This is part of a move to make the impeachment trial constitutional.” Trump immediately reversed all of Biden’s executive orders. You just never know these days. Anything is possible. (Thanks to eagle-eyed Tids-Reader on-the-spot reporter for picking up this news Tidbit.)

 

Have you ever noticed how much more beautiful sentences sound when written and pronounced in French?

 

“L’éditeur de ce gâchis fait souvent des fautes d’orthographe et de grammaire.”  (The editor of this mess often makes spelling and grammar errors.) If I added music to it, it could be a magnificent aria in an opera.  That’s why fashion designers make money.

 

The Question:

What have been voted as the Ten Best Foods named after places? (i.e. #1 is Belgian Waffle)

This just in: The House Judiciary Committee has dropped all charges against former president Trump after learning he had not been read his Miranda rights.

 

The first time Mary Tyler Moore walk into my TV tube, I knew in an instant that her smile would always be welcome, and would always bring brightness into my home. There are some smiles that just say so much more.

 

Having two weeks off before the Super Bowl is a way of weaning crazed fanatics like me off the game, before my world drops like with a thud after the confetti stops flowing.

 

While it may be nice for some supporting the working-class day trader investors battling the Hedge Fund bigs, driving up prices of basically mediocre companies to extreme overvaluations is not the idea of an orderly market and co consumer confidence in it.. Why not just move the exchanges to Las Vegas and call it what it is.

 

I’ve been growing lettuce in my little office. I’m using one of those cool Aero-Garden rather intricate growing machines. Now I’m worried about the cold getting to those little leaves just starting to flourish. I may have to sit up all night with little blankets.

 

Late Buyers of retail traded mediocre company stock run-ups will lose a lot of money.


Politicians will never stop talking out of any side of any mouth they can find. Actually, that statement is an injustice to all of those earnest men and women who thoughts are rarely picked up by the media.

 

Politicians like nothing better than piling on chaotic situations, like the GameStop mess. They crave hysteria.

 

The Answer:

 Well, you already know #1. #2 is Hamburgers followed by Yorkshire Pudding (A favorite of mine), Philly Cheese Steak, Buffalo Wings, Boston Cream Pie, Frankfurter, Bavarian Cream, Gruyere Cheese, and #10 Neapolitan Ice Cream. The next fifteen are Hollandaise Sauce, Boston Baked Beans, Monterey Jack Cheese, Anaheim Pepper, Key Lime Pie, California Roll, Worcestershire Sauce, Doner Kebab, Peking Duck, Fig Newton (Newton MA), Canadian Bacon, Baked Alaska, Welsh Rarebit, Florentine Steak and at #25 Nanaimo Bars. The rest are Bologna, Chicken Kiev, Tabasco Sauce and Brunswick Stew.

 

I have to stop ending the Tids with food. I get hungry way too early before lunch.

 

It is icy cold up here in the Northeast – minus 10 -15 windchills. this morn. So what always keeps everybody warm, a little love going into the weekend.
