Us.

 


Today's Tids Issue 5,798 

Beneath the austere: 

 

Maybe its May showers that bring June flowers. Nothing is as it was anymore. 

 

Yesterday I read that lots of restaurants were having May 5 deals. It’s a deal if you like Mexican food. 

 

I wish President Trump took longer naps. There are just way too many Orders coming out of the White House, and I mean how may of them could have been fully thought through. I mean there are 340 million plus people here who have a lot of good ideas for the success of the country. We really aren't that helpless. 

 

How fragile is the US stock market when the phrase, Trump Thinks” sends it tumbling.  

 

Do you know what’s odd? Every other number. 

 

The Question: 

What is Diane Keaton’s real name? 

 

The Headlines: 

--Stocks Off as Trump Thinks of Pharma Tariffs; Markets Wait as Fed Meet Begins Today. 

--UK and India Agree on Landmark Trade Deal. 

--US Trade Deficit Hits Record High in March as Products flow in Ahead of Tariffs; Tesla Sales in UK Down 62%. 

--Germany Surprise: Favorite for Chancellor, Frederick Merz, Falls Short in Voting; Result Unprecedented in German History. 

--Hamas says No Use for Truce talks After Israel Announces Plans for Complete takeover. 

--In the First Three Games of NBA Championships Round 2 favorites lost – Cleveland, Oklahoma City and Boston.  

 

I always look at Scott Pelly on the tube and thinking, He hates me.   I had that same feeling Sunday when extolled the virtues of Mark Elias and his traumatic plight as being scorned by the White House. Of course, Pelly didn't say that Elias was the guy who ran with the Trump Russia Hoax that was refuted by the Mueller commission. That Mark a Hillary lawyer has been a key Dem dirty trickster. But preaching on high at the altar of 60 M8nutes has a way of influencing too many peeps with bad information.  

 

At the big Met Gala last night it was reported that Diana Ross stood out wearing a dress with an 18-foot-long train. Would you want to go anywhere wearing an 18-foot train?  

 

When listening to Public radio and commercial free type stations get ready to hear more pleas for money as the funding disappears. Just so you know. I'm dead set against the White House determining what culture in America is. Lay it all out there and Ill love it or hate it or at least give something new a chance. 

 

Why do anti-aging creams have expiration dates? 

 

I am noticing intelligent people on both sides of the national divide seeing the same problems and same opportunities. Its those people who don't see everything as black or white is who I will listen to most. That's where solutions are germinated. Everything isn't just one way or the other... and that’s the problem with politics.  

 

Two volcanos met. It was lava at first sight. 

 

Is it odd that two comedians who always made me laugh, Bill Cosby and Woody Allen, are so disrespected for their real-life depravities.  

 

The $1000 the WH is now considering giving illegal immigrants who self deport will probably go to their hometown local politician to allow them to return. 

 

The Answer: 

Keaton’s real name is Di-ane Hall. Yes, that's right, just like the name of the woman she played in the Oscar winning movie. And "Annie:” was her real-life nickname. Itis said that Annie Hall is about Woody and Dianes relationship (Or the relationship in his mind) and he named the movie after her. I thought it was fun question. 

 

I titled today's Tids “Us” because every day I sit down to communicate a raft of disconnected ideas hoping that one or two of which may bring a smile or a thought to every body on the receiving end of this mess. Some of you super close long time friends, my family, and many others who I have never ever met. But for the hour or so I spend writing it and the three hours I spend trying to eliminate typos -- We are Us.  

 

Of course, The Q now gives me a natural song ending:
