IF Hillary Clinton And Barack Obama Truly ARE the Most Admired People in the World, We Really Need to Get off the Planet
Nobody Knows
It’s a funny end to the year—Here in America we are floating in a news sea of nebulous stories filled with marginal meanings of who, what, when and where are we? More importantly, what to do about it?
Let’s start with something simple:
Do you know where your President is tonight?
Tonight they are giving a big dinner at the White House for the French, (At least that’s what they said on Fox News) and I thought Obama and his family were in Hawaii on vacation…so, is he flying back to D.C. and then taking off again and going BACK out to Hawaii to play more golf? Is that NOT a big waste of money? Or like before, is he leaving Michelle in Hawaii, costing us more money?
President Obama will return to Washington from Hawaii Thursday while First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters plan to continue their vacation, adding at least $100,000 and probably more than $200,000 to taxpayer costs for the excursion.
NOTICE…nothing is said about him going back.
And more about Obama’s stay in Hawaii…
A surefire sign that Obama’s in town is the gunboats that appear in Kawainui Canal. For the duration of the presidential vacation, the U.S. Coast Guard sets up a security zone in the waters around the Paradise Point Estates peninsula, the exclusive Kailua neighborhood where the president has stayed for the past five years. This keep-out area includes about a half mile of the canal, a waterway popular among paddlers and a small slice of Kailua Bay, including part of a surfing area once known as Castle’s but now called Obama’s. (Where can you not surf when Obama’s here? Obama’s.) Violators face a $40,000 fine, up to 10 years in prison and, according to one Kailua resident who lives along the canal and hasn’t quite come to terms with the firepower that accompanies the leader of the free world, “possible death.”
“Possible death?” What? It’s okay for the President to kill people to protect himself, but not for the NYPD?
Who wouldn’t want to stay in paradise when you literally can have most of the island to yourself? You know, Bernie Sanders is always complaining about the Koch Brothers, but what about Obama? WHY do the socialists never complain about the wasted money Obama has spent on himself. WHY?
Even I have to admit, that our other rulers, the Bush family ( We seem to now have rotating Kings)—- George W. stayed at the White House more often than not, so that he wasn’t dragging hundreds of men and women all over the planet, just to serve him.
And speaking of serving…
Nobody Knows WHY in the world Congress has given Guantanamo Bay money to build a new school for the children of the soldiers there, and WHY a school that will only hold 275 children is costing $65 million dollars. What are they going to do, eat out of gold plates?
GUANTANAMO NAVY BASE, Cuba. — The base with the most expensive prison on earth is getting one of the world’s priciest schools — a $65 million building with classroom space for, at most, 275 kindergarten through high school students.
Do the math: That’s nearly a quarter-million-dollars per school child. In Miami-Dade County a new school costs perhaps $30,000 per student.
Something tells me there might be some special little elite Cuban kids going there….with little beards….
And speaking of schools, some nuts in California want to pass a law to teach kids in kindergarten not to “touch” each other.
Fresh off a victory in getting a law passed that regulates sexual encounters between students on college campuses, feminist activists in California are now pushing for instruction on sexual “consent” for children starting in kindergarten.
You have to teach the concept of “sex” to a five-year-old first, in order for them to understand WHY they are not supposed to ‘touch’ each other, and Nobody Knows but it IS my Nobody’s Opinion, that forcing kids to think about sex at five, will only lead to MORE screwed up kids in the future— More rapes, more kids getting addicted to porn, more broken marriages…
Which…could be the plan, or maybe they really ARE that stupid.
Nobody Knows, but odds are, since they just took a poll and it has been announced that the American people voted that Barack Obama was the most admired man, and Hillary Clinton was the most admired woman, I’d say…the end COULD be very near.
Maybe I should start digging.
Nobody’s Perfect: Malaysian Airlines VS Italian Ferries
Nobody’s Perfect:
This week, we have two countries not having much luck with their transportation enterprises.
Italy Vs Malaysia…or..to be more fair and give respect to international, “We are all equal on this planet” diversity rules: Airplanes VS Ferries.
Let’s start with Malaysia first…it seems they have lost ANOTHER plane into the ocean. Last March we watched various nations send out their military trying to find the missing 370 Malaysian flight that disappeared after a wrong turn. We watched as governments seem to almost love the competition to see WHO could find it first! (Nobody won.)
And now, in the same year, they lost another one;
The search for AirAsia Flight QZ8501 resumed on Monday, a day after the commercial jet disappeared in Indonesian airspace with 162 people aboard.
“(Because) the coordinate that was given to us and the evolution from the calculation point of the flight track is at sea, our early conjecture is that the plane is in the bottom of the sea,” Bambang Sulistyo, head of Indonesia’s national search and rescue agency, told reporters Monday.
The plane sought permission to climb above threatening clouds. Air traffic control couldn’t say yes immediately — there was no room. Six other commercial airliners were crowding the surrounding airspace, forcing AirAsia Flight 8501 to remain at a lower altitude.
Minutes later, the jet carrying 162 people was gone from the radar.
And then you have the latest Italian ferry disaster:
Eight dead, dozens ‘missing’ after ferry fire disaster
Ship captain Argilio Giacomazzi, 62, upheld centuries of maritime tradition by ensuring he was the last man off, handing over to Italian navy officers at 2:50 pm (1350 GMT).
His conduct was in marked contrast to that of the last Italian sea captain to make global headlines, Francesco Schettino, the Costa Concordia skipper currently on trial for manslaughter abandoning a sinking cruise liner on which 32 people died in January 2012.
Wrapped in blankets and with many of them sporting bandages, 49 of the 478 passengers and crew who were on board the ferry when it caught fire shortly after dawn on Sunday disembarked from a merchant ship at the Italian port of Bari.
So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfect Award for the week?
Is it the Malaysian Airlines, who continue to pile up bodies on the ocean floor, or the Italian boat captains, who have a habit of piling as many bodies on one ship as they can?
THIS…is a tough one.
On the one hand, the pilots of the Malaysian Airlines don’t seem to be at fault…it’s the guys on the ground that are screwing them up. Our American captains, when they see a problem, like Captain Sully did in 2009, they just land the plane down on the nearest Hudson River, and they don’t really ask permission. Can you imagine how many commissioners in New York would have to give the okay for Scully to land his big airliner on the Hudson River? That’s the American way…think for yourself. But a pilot of a Malaysian plane would probably be more fearful of NOT obeying the commands on the ground, instead of following his own instincts.
There is not a whole lot you can do if you mess up in a plane. It’s a long fall down.
On the other hand, the captains of a ferry or a boat have a better chance of saving people…And it was obvious that the whole Italian crew was NOT prepared for the fire:
“The lifeboats did not work, there was only one of them in the water and none of the crew were there to help people.”
“I ran out. I looked out for a lifejacket but I could not find one.”
“We did not know what to do. The staff had no idea how to get people off the boat.”
None of the statements made by survivors of the disaster have so far given any indication that as many as 40 passengers may have died.
So, who wins?
I’m going with the ferry-boat. Captains of ANY kind of boat should know better. After all, every captain in the world has heard of the Titanic. I don’t care if that captain was the last man off the boat, he shouldn’t even have left the dock without life jackets and enough lifeboats.
Or…am I wrong? If so, then I claim my own Nobody’s Perfect Award for the week.
Or should I say, Italy wins. That would be more—- fair. After all, how many captains can afford to buy 400 lifejackets?
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
