It's Time: 

 

Who ever thought it was a good idea to put peas in seafood pies? 

 

This has been an interesting day for the Trumpster. It looks like he lost one and kinda won one. I think we are learning something about our country -- there are too many peas in pot pies. We think we are governed by the "People’s” congress, but it seems more and more we are being governed by the power of an appointed judicial system. 

 

This ludicrous infatuation with the nanny state is inside the NFL now where a new rule would make teams “announce” their intention to execute a “Surprise” on-side kick. Have government agencies taken over the NFL?  

 

Thank God there is a little class left in the world with Princess Kate of the UK.  

 

The Question: 

Here’s a simple Q which intrigued me when I first read it. 

 

The Headlines: 

--Market Drifting as Holy Week Slows Trading; PCE Out Friday but Good Friday Market Closure Will Quell Immediate Reactions. 

--Trump given 10 Days to Come up with Lower $175 Hundred Million; Appeals Judge says He Can still do Business in NY. 

--Boeing CEO, Dave Calhoun, to Step Down. 

Israel's Netty Cancels Delegation to USA After UN Votes in Cease Fire.  

--American Heart Association Warns of Heart Problems from Smoking Weed; “Legal doesn't Mean Safe’, says AHA Spokesperson. --Kamala Dances Happily in Puerto Rico to Song Protesting her Appearance.

If you look at things through jaundiced eyes, you will see yellow. If you are clear eyed, you will see the entire story. 

 

Of course, you know if NY’s AG starts taking apart Trump world, he will soar in the hearts of his supporters. -- The Citizen against the big Government. 

 

The Tids Pickers have 10 of their16 Sweet Sixteen remaining. With still a possibility of 3 of the final 4. ACC topped the conferences with 4. Big East was second with 3 (No losses) and then with 2 each we had the over lauded conferences SEC, Big 12 and Big 10. The other three from West Coast Conferences were -- Gonzaga, San Diego State and Arizona. 

 

College sports, pure and simple, is now but a big money grab and the word you never here anymore is “Education” 

 

I have five pairs of glasses with one earpiece. I need to find a new supplier.  

 

There's a lot of talk oozing into the nation conversation about the first total eclipse of the sun in 375 years. 375 years ago, I'm sure fifty minutes of darkness was quite startling, but now it's about people running around seeing how they can make money off of nature doing its thing. Sign up for your favorite eclipse travel package now and get a free charcuterie board. Enjoy a cheesy 8. 

 

Charcuterie boards have to have been the cultural fad fastest to disappear for the consciousness of the American public. 

 

The worst thing about March madness is that it usurps Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. And my favorite sports talk radio programs are dominated now by odds makers from LV. Who, BTW, all sound exactly the same. And talk way too fast for me. Remember when it was about X’s and O’s instead of Parlays and exactas? 

 

That was about as bad and as sad as it gets in that slaughter of innocents in Russia. You know, people are still people despite the lunacy of their leaders.  

 

The Answer:  

I was intrigued because I always thought Persia was of the very ancient distant past, But Persia became officially Iran in 1935. Seems like yesterday to me. The peoples inside Iran since 1000BC had always called their country Arya, the country “Aryanam" The equivalent of “Iran”.  

 

Well, here we go into Holy Week. It's a pretty important week, Great for reflecting. Use it well. Personally, I'm waiting or next Monday when the Chocolate Bunnies go on sale.
