Today's Tids Issue 5,700
An American Syndrome:
Is it Trump actually up there talking, or is it SNL parodies I'm seeing on the news?
Zuckerburg says he will stop censorship on Facebook. Since when is honest professional fact checking censorship? Instead, now FC will employ the “X” idea of “notes” where people whose facts aren't checked write into correct facts... as they see them. It is all crazy in social media world.
Facts that are disregarded are often truths somebody doesn't what to hear.
The Question:
What were Doris Day’s Ten greatest movies?
The Headlines;
--Four Major Fires Out of Control in LA Area; 10’s of Thousands Evacuated, 1,000 Structures Destroyed, 0% Under Control; 22,930 Acres Consumed,
--Jimmy Carter Lies in State.
--Trump Power Move to Create Tariffs Has Markets Tumbling Early, rebounding by Closing; Prez Elect Says he Will Consider Declaring Economic National Emergency to Make Exec Orders Legal; WS Nerves rattling as Inauguration nears.
--Germany and France Warn Trump on Greenland Takeover.
--Morning Coffee Good for Lowering Heart Attack Risk.
I think we got too much sports now. And this comes from an avowed sports nut. But it is getting plain monotonous watching too many games with too many teams with too many payers doing the same thing,.. Over and over and over again. And then the endless, repetitive sports talk. And do you know what, it isn't going to get better with big streamers loading up on sports contracts. Then come the gimmicks. Wait for the gimmicks.
And do you know what else we got too much of – “Boilerplate Nonsense.” Legal experts and Public Relations Pros respond to event situations with perfectly written statements that stretch believability and answer nothing. How will people ever trust authority again when most of what is pronounced is pretty laughable.
I’m starting a company to soften, repackage, and resell used chewing gum. I just need some help getting it off the ground.
That one wasn't my idea. The Tids Punster Laureate made me do it.
So, what I'm seeing is the tough on border security president elect now saying that the border between Canada and the USA is just an “Imaginary Line”. Is America part of a comedy show now?
A good friend writes to tell me there is a new support group for “Three Putters”. It's about time,
I can kid around here about politician and foibles of humans, but there is nothing funny about the fires in LA. I can't imagine the feelings of horror.
The Answer:
Today's effete critics may think the juxtaposition of Greatest and Doris Day makes no sense. But if you were there when she as on screen for well over 30 movies you would think differently. Number one is Pillow Talk, Next is The Man Who Knew Too Much followed by Love Me or Leave Me, Pajama Game. Lover Come Back, The Thrill of it All, Calamity Jane (I loved the song Secret Love), Send me No Flowers, Please Don’t Eat the Daises and A Touch of Mink.
I guess that means I got to leave you with a Doris day Song.
