Opening Stuff:
Well it’s time. Time to start the hunt for my broad red suspenders to go with my whitest shirt and bluest blue jeans. Time to stand proudly along side the cozy Main Street and salute the Sailors, Soldiers, Marines and Airmen and women as they march by. Along with wonderful colonial garbed military units from the past. And those fife and drum corps that are ancestors of fifes and drums corps that played in the background as the original Declaration of Independence was read in town squares and greens across the fledgling country yearning to be free. “When in the course of human events…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator…We therefore…mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”
I read with a bit of amazement the other day these words from a present day politician trying to accomplish an emotional piece of legislation in the face from strong opposition from a sensible majority of people, “History is meant to be changed. It changes every day.” In other words, if you don’t like the truth, change it. Gadzooks! The world is going mad.
I just hate coming home and finding a snake sunning it self on my front door steps.
The Question: I have dreamed of becoming a well known author, but then I think…Ernest Hemingway was a well known author and he shot himself in the head 49 years ago today. Maybe being a well known author isn’t all it is cracked up to be. Name five of Ernest’s greatest or at least best known books.
The Headlines:
--0-Man Delivers Hollow Immigration Speech.

America’s Most Talented seems to be desperately looking for “Susan Boyle” style moments.
Doesn’t it appear that the only journalists willing to to do the total job are with the super market tabloids?
Every home should have at least one room decorated in what I would call “Organized Intellectual Clutter”. Don’t ask me what it is. I just know it when I see it…as they say.
I wasn’t concerned about Elian Gonzales during his 15 minutes of fame and I’m surely not interested in what he has to say on his 16th birthday.
Talk about cover children for the “Self Centered Gazette”. How about that Blago and his wife spending $400,000 for clothing for themselves. Running up $200K in credit card debt to walk like a peacock. Attention Blago: It didn’t work.
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--The latest installment in the Twilight series – The Twilight Saga: Eclipse -- seems to be getting tired. Not much new in this latest installment of the teen vampire soap opera. Bella must choose between two loves as malicious kills freely around town. Good acting, but more like a “C”. But, gushing girls who drag along dates will help fill theaters once again; And with schreeks of emotion at bared pecs and sultry glances.
--The Last Airbender is about four Nations – Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Fire declares war on the other three, and after 100 years there is no end in sight. Asng discovers he is the lone avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements and he joins with Katara the waterbender to bring and end to the destruction. It isn’t very good. Probably a “D”.
Wouldn't it be nice that when stocks are said to be in a malaise in meant that they just stayed the same. BTW, if Wall Street experts are so smart, why do they keep on selling stocks?
All the sports news is about the final destination of Lebron James. All I want to know is how the Boston Celtics are going to salvage this team so they can be competitive next year.
The Answer:
Hemingway’s books are among the easiest to recall: A Farewell to Arms, The Sun Also Rises, Old Man and the Sea, For Whom the Bell Tolls, A Moveable Feast and The Torrents of Spring. And about Hemingway’s suicide…it seems to have been a family tradition. So maybe a goal of author isn’t such a bad idea after all. Now if I could only write.
The Final Bang!
All I want for this weekend is that I go somewhere that’s serving bratwursts. That’s not too much to ask, is it.
Oh yeah, and I hope my neighbor hasn’t bough any fireworks that he intends to set off around 10:30.
Other than that, love your long weekend.
Layng quietly in fields

Presidents and Popes.
Today's Tids Issue 2,096
Opening Stuff
There are periods during the Winter when you wonder if the gray will ever end. Often the gray is so consuming that the sunny crisp days of the coldest months are a buried memory. But in the heart there is always sun ready to burst forth. And the pervasive appearing gloom can always be overcome with a smile full of love.
The Prez is on his gloating tour and not looking very Presidential at all. His ridiculing of concerns by honest citizens before a fawning crowd of pseudo intellectuals is just no the way to bring about the unity he professes to crave. And, he is using low ball, hack like tactics when he tells his slobbering mass that in six to seven months the opposition will see no change in theirs lives, No asteroids form outer space. Of course nothing is planned to happen until 2014. So, he is either being disingenuous or he hasn’t yet read the bill.
The Question:
Name Seven songs you associate with Easter.
The Headlines:
--Pope Under Fire For Inaction While In Charge Of Papal Legal Operations.
--Pakistani’s Kill 34 Militants.
--Police In Arizona Arrest 10 Illegal Smugglers and 50 Illegal’s.
--Eurozone Announces Stopgap Program For Greek Situation; Bankruptcy Will Be Averted But Plan Shows Weakness Of EU Concept.
--Allawi Position In Iraq Strengthens.
--New Fed Program Will Help Some Foreclosure Situations.
--Markets Looking Better For Strong Week’s Close.

You know that I like to get away from the political hurt from time to time, but the antics associated with the passage of this highly partisan monster keep me on high alert. And the excuse by supporters that “It’s not perfect but we have to start somewhere”, just makes my stomach turn. Some day we’ll have to start getting something right.
While we are on the ‘un-Presidential” express, Sarah Palin’s over exposure is rapidly diminishing an aura she once held. Maybe she has just fallen in love with the dough – and I don’t mean apple pies in Wasilla.
A judge in Florida dismissed a suit by an Atheist demanding holy days for them like Easter for Christians and Passover for Jews. After objections from the Atheist’s lawyer he explained that the atheists already had one – April Fools Day and cited this passage from Psalm 14:1: “The fool says in his heart there is no God”. The adjourned saying your client is a fool and he has April 1.
Through the Same Eyes: Chapter 63. –“Hi Kids!” I heard Paul’s happily robust voice as he walked in the side door from the garage.
The kids both in unison responded, “Mom told us never to talk to strangers! Our dad never shows up until 8:00.” Then they laughed and I’m sure they ran over and gave them super hugs. But, I thought, he really is home early.
I was walking out towards the mud room when he looked at me and gave me a big “Hi Beautiful!”
I played the blushing bride role, “Who little ole’ me?” I smiled at him and he gave me a nice kiss and a tender hug. I hugged back. I wonder why he is here so early? But, it was good and the kids loved it.
He followed me into the kitchen and watched me for a moment while I cut ups some cheese chunks. “This is a pleasant surprise,” I started.
He chimed right in, “Oh, I was at BiEm most of today, and we got so much accomplished that I decide to relax with you for a while.” I told him I was glad. He looked at me a little more seriously.
“What do you think of Kent Middleton?” He just sat there for a moment. I shuddered inside. I felt my heart beat a little faster. I found myself on edge. Then he added, “I know you got to know him pretty well when you were involved in that vandalism thing”. That vandalism thing that you thought was nothing, I thought. I decided to take my time before I answered this.
Let’s have a new name for ACORN contest. We know that the operatives in the old gang living high off the taxpayer hog will be back some where. How do they replace that kind of income – Brain Surgery? Hedge fund Manager? Politician? They’ll be back just in time to fake voting records in November. So I’m throwing into the pot: CRAP – Community Radical Activists Profiting; OBAMA – Opportunistic Bolsheviks Against Majority of Americans. Well that's a start. Send in yours!
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--Hot Tub Time Machine is a Buddy picture which in fact is a cheap imitation of “The Hangover” idea. Pals who were once popular guys in the eighties are now taking a second look at their evolution into a humdrum existence. The decide to get together and it all comes together when while sitting in a hot tub at an old decaying once a playground resort, They are taken back to 1986. You get the picture. Some laughs. The problems: 80’s nostalgia doesn’t measure up to the 50’s, 60’s or 70’s.
--How to Train your Dragon is the Kids animated film of the week. It is based on a familiar Viking tale about a puny boy among peers who decides to slay a Dragon to gain popularity. Of course he comes across a Dragon in pain and helps him out. They be come friends. Not bad.
--Chloe is a fairly bad sexual thriller –a poor man’s “Fatal Attraction. A successful Doctor suspects her husband of infidelity. She hires a prostitute (Chloe) to tempt him and see how he reacts. Bad idea, because before you know it she and her family are in grave danger. Might be moderately enjoyable if you are hard up for something on your Netflix list.
The "Unity President" finally got what he wanted – Bipartisanship...only it was opposition to the Monster. And the tactics. “Most Liberal” Senator never changes principles. They just change suits.
From the lying Cardinal Law in Boston to the-jury-is-still-out-on Cardinal (Now Pope Benedict) Ratzinger in the Vatican, Catholic leadership has been gutless at best, and probably criminal in their handling of the known clerical predators. The Catholic Church has done more for God haters than a congress of Satans roaming the earth. It is sad.
The Answer:
I first think of Easter Parade, Halleluiah Chorus and Here Comes Peter Cottontale. Ode to Joy form Beethoven and the powerful 2nd Mahler Symphony “The Resurrection” also come to mind. Then there’s that Old Wooden Cross and Christ has Risen. Also Amazing Grace has slipped into some Easter repertoires. There are lots and lots of Christian Hymns.
Final Thoughts:
Business opportunity: Write popular songs for Easter.
It’s already early, and it already looks like a great start to a weekend. And, it is gloomy looking outside. Which means that the weather in the grand scheme of things has little to do with your outlook if you don’t let it.

Oscar Crap
Weekend Tids:
The Opening Stuff:
How can I maintain my stature as a leading publication in superficial journalism if I don't do something here about the AcadamyAwards. If you intend to keep your reporting truly shallow like I do, than you have to talk about the egos and antics of celebrities. Frankly, I'm am really tired of this whole celebrity thing -- on stage, in movies and in the White House. But, on another front I love them. Where else would I find so much fodder for humor, disbelief and amazment than in Hollywood. Where else would I find so much substance for my reports on the decline of the culture in America?
The Hosts:
There is a lot of anticipation for the host duo of Martin and Baldwin. Frankly, I liked Stve Martin much better when he was funny. And, Alex Baldwin has become so repetitious that I'm afraid his act will be over before Martin does the old arrow through the head trick. I doubt if they will ever last long enough to replace the all time leaders Bob Hope at 18 and Billy Chrystal at 8. A report I read said Whoopie was the the sentimetnal favorite because she was a woman and a black! So? Frankly, I liked her becasue she could be very funny. Isn't that's what is important? Isn't that what women and blacks really want...to be recognized for their professionalism and their achievements? Oh...and the worst ever was Dave Letterman. Omooo? Aaaaaaargh.
The Movies:
10 movies this year, and the best one may not win. Favorites Avatar and Hurt Locker could easily cancel each other out allowing a third favorite film to sneak through ala Bush over Gore. The brain dead on the left coast have a new scoring system for best pic only where second and third place votes could count more than first place votes? Who designed this system, the NFL guru who devleoped the overtime rules? And why did they pick ten? Really. Are they assuming that there are actually that many good films out there. Or is it because so many of the newer films subliminally support some agenda, someone thought that it only fair to represent all causes. Or is simply money. 10 picks mean ten revivals in theaters that can say "Oscar Nominee". From what I'm reading and hearing, if the top favorites are too close allowing the third to move on top, it could be Inglorious Basterds. Up was cute but dragged in the middle. Blind Side was popular and well done, but fairly light. Precious to me is the best dark horse because it is the kind of small film that the celebs like their egos to be associated with. Personally, An Education is a smart little film I could see winning. Oh, by the way, Gone With The Wind far still outdistances Avatar and Titanic as the all time box office winner when adhjusted for inflation. And you should give a damn about that.
The Top Actors:
It's hard to see anybody but Jeff Bridges winning this one. He has captured the momentum, and probably the emotions of his voting pals. Some say Clooney is a possibility, but I believe that his Up in the Air role is more about Clooney being Clooney than any thing special as an actor. My sense is that there are two Hollywood style genuine darkhorses here -- Morgan freeman and Colin Firth. But the Bridges momentum will be too hard to overtake. Sea, the hunt is over! Shoot me.
The Actresses:
This could be more of a race, but I'm hoping not so as I would would enjoy seeing nice person Sandra Bullock carry home the metal. Hey, maybe Streep is nice too. She is a very fine actress, but, I have to tell you that I found Julia annoying and grating and I could hardly wait to for the Streep scenes to change. Like PSH as Truman C, I could hardly wait for it to end. Carey Mulligan, the teen actress in the above mentioned An Education was excellent, but probably not good enough to overcome sentimentality.
In Support...:
I would be really, really surprised if anybody but heavy favorites Christoph Waitz and Mo'nique won as predcited. I personally would love to see the mush deserved Stanly Tucci win, if for nothing else than for continueous great acting. I have always liked Damon and always disliked Harrelson. hey, I have built in biases in case you haven't noticed. But no chance for them Not much drame here.
Best Director:
In case you have been on a round the word crise in a submarine, the favorites for the best Director are ex- mates Cameron and Bigelow. I really don't care if either of them win. They have basically prempted the discussion because of their relationship and pretty good movies. But the guy who should win is Tarrantino for Basterds.
Well that's about it. I'm climbing back out of the dumbster with a second banana peel dripping off of my head and lots of unknown crap on my shoes. But it's great to breathe again.
So, if you decide to traipse down to the Red Carpet, don't look for me. I've been banned along with the producer of The Hurt Locker!
The Dramatic finish:
Remember, smart people aren't smart about everything.

Always time for a dream.
Today's Tids Issue # 2,059
Opening Stuff:
The air is cold, the wind chill's worse
Good for pneumonia; Then the hearse
You are never too busy to take a chance and dream. There is a pleasant therapeutic elixir gained from ones ability to occasionally move from the confines of harsh reality onto a magic carpet ride. To float into an expansive mind of paths untrod. To release your heart. Untie your inhibitions. And, it’s cheaper to dream than to call a travel agent. And, you never lose your luggage.
The Question:
In Texas since 1973, 446 people have been executed. What do you think are the most popular words used in their “Last Words”?
The Headlines:
--Unemployment Falls Unexpectedly To 9.7%; Part Of Change Due To Reordering Previous Job Loss Estimates; Tids Economists Confused.
--Bomb Kills 27 During Iraq Shiite Pilgrimage.
--Hedge fund Managers Turning Bearish.
--Snow Could Paralyze Middle Atlantic States.
--World Stocks Hit By Fears Of debt Spreading Beyond Greece To Other Countries.
--Large Health Care Insurer Aetna 4Q Profit Falls 15%.
More Stuff:
The Prez/GOP get-together probably would have been more effective if held without cameras. Give a politician a camera and you never get the truth. The media loves transparency because it can fill up airtime. But, does it really help us air out the bad stuff and get to the meat of conflicts when Politicians are playing to the camera? I don’t think so.
Little did Gutenberg know when he invented the printing press that he also invented modern federal governments. Kaching.
Scott Brown had better get to work and stop trying to emulate “Prime Time”. The new and untried senator is in danger of out Obama-ing Obama on TV face time. And there is a huge bunch of the opposition tuning in just waiting for him to stumble.
The Novel:
Through the same Eyes: Chapter 52 continues: -- As Henry and the State Police detectives walked in the front entrance of BiEmbryo, they missed Seymore Bromsky walking out the back employee entrance to his car. Henry strode to the receptionist, “We’re here to for an appointment with Isabelle Phillips”, I said solemnly to Beatrice hoping she wouldn’t start playing her little flirty games. She had that glint in her eyes, but answered in a business like manner as she glanced at the imposing staties at my side. “I under stand she is expecting you Sherriff Boulder”. She stared at me and I could tell she was smiling to herself inside. “Do you know the way? I’ll buzz her assistant.” Thanks you I said. But before I turned I gave her a little wink. As we approached the double swinging doors, Beatrice must have pressed a button because they magically opened before us. Twenty feet down the hall we saw Isabelle’s assistant. She smiled , held out her hand and simply said follow me as she turned. “This is an eerie looking place”, I heard one of the Detectives say as we walked through this almost ethereal world of science. “It takes a whole to get used to it, but the scientists here are still just people like you and me.” I was about to elaborate when Isabelle Phillips, looking very Presidential and self assured, walked out of her office to give us a very warm greeting.
Back To Stuff:
Design and architecture trends come and design and architecture trends go, but you’ll never get me to stop believing that the classic New England colonial home with period furniture is by far the best.
Doctors offices are great places to catch up on the rest of the world by reading magazines you’d never even consider buying. There’s something for everyone out there, and it is a good thing to know what all those somethings are if you are ever going to understand people.
Recipe Department:
I had a chunk of really lousy lasagna the other day, so I thought I’d find a good recipe to help stop the madness coming from chefs who opt for innovation over classic perfection. In a large saucepan over med heat add 1 tbs OO, 1 large onion chopped and 4 cloves gar finely chopped. Cook five mins. Add 2 ¼ pounds mixture ground veal, pork and beef. And cook 8 more mins. Add 44 oz crushed tomatoes, 2 tbs tom paste, 1 tsp dry Ital seasoning, 1 tsp sug, 1 tsp salt and ¼ Blk Pep. Simmer covered 15 mins and uncovered 15 mins. Stir occasionally. Stir in 3 tbs basil. While cooking mixture cook 12 traditional lasagna noodles according to package directions. Heat oven to 350. Spreay 13-9 oven dish. In bowl combine 15 oz ricotta, 2 eggs, 1/3 cp shredded Parm and 2 tbs basil. Spread 1 cp sauce over bottom of dish. Place 3 cooked noodles over sauce. Spoon ricotta mixture over noodles, Add 3 more noods and top with 3 cps sauce mix. Top with 3 noodles and top that with 3 cups shred mozzarella. Top that with 3 noods, 2 cps sauce. Top with 2 cps Ital cheese blend. Bake 30 mins with loose foil cover and 30 mins uncovered til bubbly like the heart of the Tids Guy who is getting hungry.

Arthur Ashe could have been the first black President. And… a great one at that!
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:

The air is cold, the wind chill's worse
Good for pneumonia; Then the hearse
You are never too busy to take a chance and dream. There is a pleasant therapeutic elixir gained from ones ability to occasionally move from the confines of harsh reality onto a magic carpet ride. To float into an expansive mind of paths untrod. To release your heart. Untie your inhibitions. And, it’s cheaper to dream than to call a travel agent. And, you never lose your luggage.

The Prez/GOP get-together probably would have been more effective if held without cameras. Give a politician a camera and you never get the truth. The media loves transparency because it can fill up airtime. But, does it really help us air out the bad stuff and get to the meat of conflicts when Politicians are playing to the camera? I don’t think so.

The Novel:
Through the same Eyes: Chapter 52 continues: -- As Henry and the State Police detectives walked in the front entrance of BiEmbryo, they missed Seymore Bromsky walking out the back employee entrance to his car. Henry strode to the receptionist, “We’re here to for an appointment with Isabelle Phillips”, I said solemnly to Beatrice hoping she wouldn’t start playing her little flirty games. She had that glint in her eyes, but answered in a business like manner as she glanced at the imposing staties at my side. “I under stand she is expecting you Sherriff Boulder”. She stared at me and I could tell she was smiling to herself inside. “Do you know the way? I’ll buzz her assistant.” Thanks you I said. But before I turned I gave her a little wink. As we approached the double swinging doors, Beatrice must have pressed a button because they magically opened before us. Twenty feet down the hall we saw Isabelle’s assistant. She smiled , held out her hand and simply said follow me as she turned. “This is an eerie looking place”, I heard one of the Detectives say as we walked through this almost ethereal world of science. “It takes a whole to get used to it, but the scientists here are still just people like you and me.” I was about to elaborate when Isabelle Phillips, looking very Presidential and self assured, walked out of her office to give us a very warm greeting.

Obama in full campaign mode.
Today's Tids 2/2/10
Opening Stuff:
Ten Congressmen saw their shadow this morning meaning we’ll continue to have bad government for 6 months. After that, it will totally collapse as scared incumbents rush to get re-elected.
As we see “Prime Time” flitting from town to town watching basketball or making short speeches on just about anything, we know that the President is in full campaign mode. In fact he barely left campaign mode after inauguration. One problem…politicians never tell the truth during campaigns!
The Question:
Today, we have the birthdays of Tom Smothers (73) and Graham Nash (68). Name five of the top songs for each.
The Headlines:
--0-Man Blames Out Of Sight Budget On Bush.
--Exxon-Mobil Retains King Of Profits Title Even As Profits Dip 56%.
--New Research Shows That Abstinence Programs Work With Teens.
-- Haiti Food Convoy Attacked By Armed Gang.
--Illinois Dem Primary Today Could Be Another Test Of 0-Man Coattails; GOP Anxious To have Obama Protégé Win.
--Phil Says Winter To Stay.
-- New England Likes Sub Building Portion Of 0-Man Budget.

If you ask me, the eBook business has a lot of sorting out to do before if becomes a stable industry. Amazon’s retreat to McMillian’s pressure is just the first sign of things to come. Apple looks confused as they try to figure out the market for the iPad. The book publishers still own the content, and with it all the power. Amazon and Apple for the present are just distribution channels. You have to think that Apple execs would cringe at the use of an adjective like “Just” as in “mere” in association with their brand. But frankly. All of the cool gadget makers rely on the creativity of others to make their products viable.
A good reader sends along a quiz that helps answer the Question: “Where are you politically.” I like it because it includes as one of three answers “Maybe”. That’s in addition to the usual “agree” and “disagree”. Try it http://www.theadvocates.org/quizp/index.html
This Oregon tax thing is bothersome. Basically it was a teacher push trying to find a back door route into the taxpayer’s pockets after they have maxed out the property tax system. There comes a time in life when you just can’t buy everything you want. It’s going to be a long time before people can adjust to the new world of reality; that we are now a nation without economic borders.
You may have noticed in the news that Rhode Island has reduced the age for blood bank donors to 16. It must be part of that “Twilight” trend so popular with teens.
If you need a blueprint for the new economy, take a look at the textile industry. This was the economic engine for the northeast for about a century or so. As unions got tougher there, they closed the plants and moved to the non-union south. Things went well for a while til the wages started spiraling upward ala old NE. Aha, lets go to third world countries. Damn good idea. The third world countries naturally grew economically and…you guessed it...wages went up! Now the search is on for an even poorer nation. And you know what will happen next. Meanwhile the US needs jobs and people will start working for lower pay, and maybe with the help of a growing immigrant population, textiles return to New England which has little economy left other than big government. This is not about whether unions are good, bad or indifferent. It’s just the way things work.
The odds against my retirement plan working just got longer as more states jumped on the Powerball-MegaMillions bandwagons.
Archie Manning was a much more exciting quarterback than either of his two sons. But then maybe it was because he had to scramble for his life playing on poor teams.
24-um:
I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve each Monday waiting for the start of “24”. Last night I opened the package and got what I wanted. Annie Wershing as Renee Walker continues to give us award winning performances. She is lost, and it appears that next week she comes to Jack for help. I have had trouble figuring out the Dana-abuser boyfriend angle, but now I’m thinking there is something in that warehouse they are robbing other than money. Like uranium? Why do I have in the back of my mind that the new younger aide to the President has something evil on his mind? I left last night with just the right amount of tension in my aging body. Now I have to wait a whole week. KThunk. KThunk. KThunk.
The Novel:
Through the Same Eyes: Chapter 52 continues. –As I sat listening to the very logical mind of Mr. laid-back sheriff at work, I relaxed knowing that Henry had put it together. He was on his way to Isabelle, and of course I should not be there. But, I know somebody who should be on her way up to BiEmbryo with her team. Now Henry’s words became a distant sound as my whole body and mind focused on my Sarah/Maggie. I had to talk to her. I had to see her. I still heard now the drone of Henry as I stood. He stopped and looked up. “Henry, I think you have everything under control. Drop by my office after you see Isabelle.” He smiled. “Thanks Middleton. I see that you still know how not to waste time when the job appears over. But, I may need you join me with Isabelle after I and the state police layout our concept.” My mind was now in the hospital room with Sarah, but I managed to say “No Problem. Then I turned and left. One good thing about having a reputation as a bore is that nobody is concerned when you don’t appear overly friendly. I got in the car, pulled out my phone and dialed Sarah’s room. I heard a weak, raspy reply, “Hello”. Even in a weakened condition, her voice was powerful to me. “Hello my love, it is me.” “I’m happy”, she answered. “I’m coming to see you. But, you should know what is happening.

This could be a good year for Sandra Bullock as she is a sentimental favorite for Best Actress. Or it could be bad. She is also leading for the Razzie for worst actress in All About Steve. It ios also the fave for worst movie. Personally, I think we need more of a spotlight on Razzies. They’re good for H-Wood humility. As you may know, they have named 10 movies this year for Best Picture. Avatar is a big favorite, but the little dreary piece Precious seems to be in the wheelhouse of Hollywood voters. The others are Blind Side, Up, Up In The Air, District Nine, An Education, The Hurt Locker, Inglorious Basterds and A Serious Man. Actors are Bridges (Fave), Clooney, Firth and Freeman. Actresses are Bullock, Mirran, Mulligan, Sidibe and Streep.
This squabble among golfers over the new ban on square grooves is another mirror of our society. The real issue is legality versus intent. I agree with McCarron who argues, regardless of the legality of an agreement that allowed Pings before 1990, the intent of the new rule was to get rid of square grooves. The vast majority of golfers agreed. Maybe Michelson is planning on a run for congress next year. He is starting to sound like one of those rascals.
The Answer:
Graham Nash is best known for Chicago and Immigration Man. Others are Simple Man, We Can Change The World, Be Yourself and Better days. Tom Smothers was more of a comic, but he and his brother Dick sang many tunes very well: Tom Dooley, Chocolate, Crabs Walk Sideways, Michael Row the Boat Ashore, Mom Always Likes You Best and Talk to the Trees.
The End:
When 0-Man came down upon the Supreme Court, it sounded a lot to me like his comments calling out the “Stupidity” of the Cambridge Police Department. The Prez has a chance to raise the level of discourse back to statesman, but his emotions keep on belying his claimed intentions.
