Have we misplaced the concept of civilized society? 

 

I really hate the idea of using impeachment or key amendments ot overturn elections we don’t like. It is always better to accept what we have and spend all of the energy making it work.

A few days ago, a person asked me if every day felt like the weekend as you got older and retired. Actually, weekends are different because I save my most sinful breakfasts for Saturday and Sunday. Yes, I get a little crazy on weekends after conservative week writing the Tids. 

 

Apple is a beloved stock, but how long can enthusiasm disguise three consecutive years of desliming revenue. Alas, it got drubbed the past two days, but Apple has always had a bad September only to have October as one of its best months. But then, there is that revenue issue.  

 

Remember when Yogi the Ya, ya, ya philosopher said, “Nobody goes there anymore because it is too crowded?” Well, up in New Hampshire they closed a major leaf peeping route because tourists were driving locals crazy. There comes a time when you just don't need that extra dollar.
