No, to the government.

 

Today's Tids Issue 5,169 

Don't move another goddam inch: 

 

 

Everybody who gleefully deposited all of that free money from th

e government during Covid are now hoping for more money to help offset inflation which was in fact is due to the government printing money they didn’t have to send out free checks.  

 

Judging by the number of cars on the road I saw yesterday and today; it doesn’t seem as though Gas prices are causing that much agita yet. Maybe it’s because the folks have gotten used to government sending out free money and they expect gas money too. 

 

Today is National Walnut Day, good, unless you are allergic to nuts. Then its national 911 day. 

 

“Chuppta?” That’s how Mainers say, “What are you doing?” 

 

The Question: 

Name Ten of the leading characters in the Watergate caper. 

 

The Headlines: 

--Merkets Open Strong And Stay There Through Closing.; Walmart Misses. 

--Biden Speaks In Buffalo. 

--Repubs Have Eyes On Pennsylvania; Looks Too Close To Call At This Point. 

--Ukraine Soldiers Surrender at Mariupol Steel Plant. 

--DOD Says There Have been 400 UFO’s In Fifty Years. 

 

Christopher Steele of the now discredited Steele Dosier says that Putin is seriously ill and dying. How believable is that?  

 

Mainers don’t drive small distances…they go “up the road apiece.” 

 

I don’t know about you, but I will watch the government hearings UAP’s (Used to be UFOs but now Unidentified Aeriel Phenomena.). They can’t be more out there than some of the daily Congressional activities.  

 

I had a nice Maine blueberry coffee cake this morning and it was pretty good despite the fruit inside it.  

 

If the Buffalo incident wasn’t so tragic, so horrible for all those who lost loved ones; for those, good people, who saw their lives end while doing average human things in a perfectly safe environment only to suddenly find they were at the mercy of an unhinged youth with hatred in his heart and a gun. I might have written a headline: Joe B shuffles off to Buffalo but not even I am that insensitive. 

 

Mainers don’t say “I don’t know”…they say “hard tellin’ not knowin’.” 

 

What’s really cyber scary is this Conti Gang holding the country of Costa Rica hostage with its ransomware. The entire government could actually be overturned by a lone computer in a a dark room. The Conti Gang is a well-known Russian speaking hacker gang. 

 

Lobsters are too high priced even up in Maine. But people will buy them confidently knowing there will be another Government check to cover it. 

 

Ozark fans may be finding a spin-off in their future. Stay tuned. 

 

Mainers don’t get “sick”…they get “pekid.” 

 

The Answer: 

Some of these names roll off your tongue like Halderman and Erlichman, Colson, Dean, Liddy and Hunt. Then you had James McCord, Alexander Butterfield, Donald Segreti and Jeb Stuart Magruder. And of Course, Richard Nixon himself. The main government people were Sam Ervin, Howard Baker, Fred Thompson and Archibald Cox. The presiding Judge was John Sirica. 

 

Mainers don’t “go to the country”…they “go out in the willie-wacks.” 

 

That sounds like a nice place to be.
