Wispy:
1.2.3 -- Kind of a cool, unique day today isn't it.
Reasonable people will tell you that for every creep in society there are 50,000 good, kind and giving people. But the creeps get all the headlines, and that skews a lot of amateur statistics.
The readers keep finding cow jokes like this one another guy sent in yesterday: What do you call it when a cow cannot provide milk. Udder Failure.
Hey, how about this one: What do you call a cow that has just given birth? De-calf-inated.
The Tids try to milk the headlines for laughs but never resort to unsubstantiated bull.
The Question:
Our President seems a little litigious, doesn't he. How many lawsuits do you think he has filed from 1973 to his First term in 2016?

The CEO’s of big consumer products companies like P&G are saying there is a noticeable trend of consumers moving to private branding. Private brands are not anymore, the inferior alternative.
Hey, I can’t put it off any longer – It is Tids Pickin’ Time. I’ll start with Seattle and the LA Rams. Now matter how much the team has won and and how dominant they have appeared doing it, Seattle is still a bit of a mystery to me. The Rams were the early pet pick of national “experts” going into this year. I think the Rams have some flaws regardless of how consistent their well-aged QB can be. I see the Seahawks taking this one. The tougher pick is New England at mile high Denver. The odds maker have the Pats favored by 5.5. Seems high to me. It is because pf the injury to Nix. But Denver has won some pretty close games, and in part it was Nix who drove the comebacks. Can they get Stidham to manage a flawless game for a team that has plenty of D. I'm trying to be inert to my emotions in picking this one. While I doubted NE early this year, I have become a believer in the resourcefulness of these Pats and I'll pick them.
It’s funny, last Sunday I barely got through the first quarter with my nerves being so frayed. But this week I feel more comfortable. Maybe it's because I feel the team has gotten so much further that I ever thought.
Trumps use of the word “Fake” has jumped the shark.
With the success of Netflix and the multiplication of streaming options it is said by some futurists that everything we need in life to come will be subscription. We’ll all have 200 or so $20/month payments.
Plus a $3,000,000 mortgage. How’s our debt reduction doing?
As of November 30, 530 lawsuits have been filed against President Trump, the most ever against a Sittig president. But he is not litigiously shy either. Two days ago he filed a suit anginst Jamie Dimon and JP Morgan for debanking him 4 years ago. And today he threatened suits against pollsters for hteir “fake results. He has sued several major media companies and many perceived enemies. It just makes everything that should be so important seem so frivolous.
I really don’t like commenting on the Prez so much, but every day Ihe says something can’t let slide. Remember when we used to complain because Biden didn't talk enough.
What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground meat.
The Answer:
In his business lifetime, he filed 4,095 Lawsuits. The art of the deal is a baseball bat.
Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
Yesterday I opted for Phil Collins over Steve Perry and Journey. Here’s a little Journey:
