On the edge.

 


Today's Tids Issue 5,731 

Illegal is illegal: 

 

I'm obsessed with the moon right now. I must be just a phase. 

 

I thought the objective that Repubs have been fighting for is minimizing the effect of federal government? I must not be smart enough to figure out what's going on. 

 

Why in the world do we need a smart refrigerator? I mean, turn it on and keep things cold or frozen. How odd a concept is that? But noooo, this machine flashes a warning just before you are about to jump into bed, and you lay there seeing red flashing lights 

 

“The older I get the more clearly I remember things that never happened.” --Mark Twain. 

 

The Question: 

21 years ago a product was announced that literally grabbed people's lives and changed culture. What was it? Bonus: Serbia and Montenegro were once one country. What was it.? Extra Bonus: What of significance happened the USA 236 years ago today? 

 

The Headlines: 

--China Retaliates to Trump Tariff; Big Country Says it will Investigate Google and may Sanction US Companies in Country; China Initiates Tariffs on US Coal, Natural Gas, Crude Oil, Agricultural Equipmentman and large Engine Cars.  

--Nas Up, Dow Lower; US Job Openings Hit Lowest Mark Since September.  

--WH Drawing Plans for End of Education Department. 

--FBI Agents Sue Trump AG to Block Publishing Names. 

--Kennedy Nomination Moves Forward along Party Lines; Gabbard Picks up Key Senator; AG Pam Bondi on her Way to Approval, Chris Wright Approved as Energy Secretary. 

--Super Bowl Week Begins. 

--People Fleeing Greek Isle of Santorini; Over 300 Earthquakes have been Reported in Last Two Days. 9,000 of the 15,500 Population has left the Tourist Island—Norther Japan receives Record Snowfall; Northern Australia Stricken by Devastating Flooding.  

 

Boy to father: Dad, can you explain an eclipse to me?” Father: “No sun”.  

 

I try to write so AI can't predict my text. I like to see it squirm and behave irradicably 

 

I can't remember ever seeing so may gambling suck-you-in schemes floating across TV and radio.  

 

Don’t feel bad. The biggest and best analysts on Wall Street are confused about the Tariffs too.  

 

Occasionally a good NBA game comes along. Tonight, you have a “Playoff” style game as The Boston Celtics travel to Cleveland to try to try to cool the red-hot Cavs 

 

I'm having a problem today after in response to a comment yesterday a good reader writes to tell me that a warmed-over cheese Danish is an unimaginable sinful indulgence. Oh the pain. 

 

Speaking of resisting inflictions... Americans will be better off if they can distance themselves from endless Superbowl talk this week.  

 

The Answer: 

Americans entered into a whole n new kind of harmful addiction when FaceBook was launched 21 years agio today. And woe is us and our kids as it begot all of the rest of the social media. Bonus: Serbia and Montenegro used to be Yugoslavia! I guess that little car The Yugo was just too embarrassing for the people. Extra Bonus: Tis was the day back then when George Washington was unanimously elected President of the USA 

 

I try to play a variety of songs to end Tids. The other day a great guy who really knows music (He used to write the Stan Kenton newsletter) sent me this:
