Today's Tids Issue 5,459
Percentages are getting larger:
I kid you not, as Jack Paar might have said, the stories of Americana just get weirder and weirder. More often than not these days you have to wonder and worry what the person next to you might be thinking. Or is it all still the same and it is just the result of Communication capabilities that are much quicker broader.
You know, millions upon millions of people trust each other implicitly with their lives every day... while driving.
Bitcoin was up 19% this week and 43% for teh year. I wish I knew what they were buying. At $60,000, this “digital asset” is approaching its all-time high of $68+K. Basically, what has happened is that crypto in general is climbing back up from the ashes heap of a couple of years ago. Analysts are saying it should be $125K by the end of 2025. Maybe we’ll know why by then.
In what year were kangaroos discovered?
A leap year.
The great thing about leap year jokes...
...is that you only hear them repeated every 4 years.
The Question:
Who said, “Most Texans think Hannukah is some sort of duck call.”
The Headlines:
--Still Being Held Hostage by Tomorrow's PCE Report, Stocks Drift Lower.
--Mitch McConnell to Step Down in November; He Is Longest Serving Senate Leader in History.
--Appellate Court Judge Turns Down Trump Request to Stay Ruling Requiring Him to Pay a $454 million Bond While He Appeals.

--Prince Harry Loses Decision on Overturning Previous Decision that Lowered His Security Status in UK.
I’ll miss old Mitch. McConnell was a bright guy in my estimation and knew what he was doing. And obviously he knew how to get people on his side. And he should have spent his last four years as Majority Leader, except that one gigantic ego got in the way.
Mitt Romney said, “Politics Used to be the art of the possible.” (Until now when dysfunction crept into congress.)
CEOs are excited about “Surge Pricing.” It’s an MBA style concept that won't necessarily work everywhere, but CEO’s can be lemmings just like regular people and will try it because they want to talk about it with friends. It sounds to me like something that will annoy customers even more than they are annoyed now,
I don’t read stories with headlines that say, “How much money you need to join the richest 1% around the world.”
I’ve only met a few people with birthdays on leap year day. They were all mature for their age.
Apple desperately needs a new blockbuster product. The long-admired genius company who continually have amazed the Tekkie world, this company just flunked out of EV AI engineering. Hey, their products are great, and they will always be a very nice little company appreciated by many, except investors supporting high valuations.
Speaking of the financial needy, Warren Buffet is not liking that the Trillion Dollar Club is beyond his reach, the purview of big Tech.
Daytime TV was way better before screaming audiences.
My favorite food chain is bringing us Chizza. Yes, the Kentucky company had first debuted this delicacy on KFC menus in the Philippines in 2015 and since then the gourmet exclusive has made its way around the world to Korea, Taiwan, India, Thailand, Germany, Spain and Mexico, among other countries. And now it is here in NYC and Seattle. The KFC Chizza two 100% white meat Extra Crispy™ fried chicken filets topped with zesty marinara sauce, melty mozzarella cheese and crispy pepperoni. Now Americans can be part of this Global Phenomena. Fasten your seat belts and find a good diet program.
There seems to be a quiet desperation permeating below the surface in communities throughout the country. While ads show people dancing on beaches and eating luxurious meals in exotic locations, there are stories everywhere is too many people don't want to hear.
You know, one of the long-standing rules of the Tids Editorial Boward is to never allow the primary writer to repeat himself. It’s becoming harder because the world isn't learning from its past.
I hear that the state is closing all bridges for tomorrow. Too many people seem to take the word leap literally.
I’d never ask AI to write a column form because the fun is inthe challenge to make something out of nothing, even when on many a morning I awake devoid of grey matter. It is amazing how therapeutic staring can become.
The Answer:
Richard Lewis the comedian who died today said that. He was 76. You’ve been seeing him on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
So, does Feb 29 mean I have to put out 4 issues tomorrow?
Love your evening, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y
