Nobody Cares that there are things on my bucket list that, unless by some great fortune of luck, I win the Mega millions on some stormy future night…there are two things that I will never do:
1. Be able to tell you what abalone taste like.
2. Be able to buy my best friend a dog just like this one. She took one look, and it was love. And she has expensive taste because he is the most expensive dog in the world at $1.6 million dollars. (Her taste in shoes is much more reasonable.)
And let’s just say, that winning the lottery would not be enough. Even if I COULD afford a mutt this adorable, you would have to become a billionaire just to feed him, because he eats…abalone, which is $70 a pound. Big Splash here weighs 180 pounds…over a lifetime, he could eat his cost in abalone easily. And let’s not forget the security system on your house, and the body guard you would need to walk him…it could add up.
These dogs like to watch TV..so you would have to get big screens, probably their own room…okay…you get the picture.
My friend Pattie is the one who got me into this mess. You see, I found out what a good cook she was, and so I started looking up things she had never cooked before, and came across Abalone in a book. I was trying to impress her…”So, I bet you’ve never cooked Abalone!”
“NO..what’s that?”
So, we went searching for it, and when we couldn’t find it at the local stores, we said, “Well, we’ll go to where the RICH people shop!” And they didn’t even know what it was. Let’s just say, abalone is not something you will find in the middle of the United States, without knowing someone who knows Donald Trump.
But, somewhere in China, Big Splash, the most famous dog in world, is dining on abalone tonight. I’m going to have to say…I bet it takes just like dog food.
There— now I feel better. There are some things in life that really don’t need to be experienced, like taking heroin, climbing Mt. Everest, insulting Stephen King when one of your favorite authors is his good buddy Dave Barry, or getting arrested in China for stealing the most expensive dog in the world…even if it is for your best friend.
As all mothers who are REAL mothers, always say: “It the thought that counts.”
I’m thinking about cha’ Pattie. How about a Big Splash calendar?
Nobody Knows—how much influence do our popular sitcoms have on us when we go to the ballot box to vote? How much influence does the government have with the various television networks and the contents of their programming? And most importantly, does money change hands to producers for certain political messages?
***
Before we even knew that Hillary Clinton would be defeated by a black man named Obama, we fell in love with the most awesome President that we had ever witnessed on our TV’s. He was perfect, and he was black. President David Palmer, (now the All State Insurance Man) did everything right. He was tough, honest, fair, and every episode we watched, got us turning off our TV and saying, “I wish HE was our President!” 24 was the biggest sitcom on TV, and came at the most propicious time, because candidate Obama had the black vote, but he needed so many whites to cross over to him to get the nomination.
The Jack Bauer sitcom, was watched by die-hard conservatives, and it’s no stretch of the imagination that the sitcom President Palmer gave us complete trust that Obama would be a great President, like the President Palmer on TV. Give the black guy a chance. Look at David Palmer.
Boy, were we suckered.
Jack Bauer hooked us by the nose and lead us right into socialism.
Coincidence?
Kiefer Sutherland, the actor who portrayed the ultra-conservative Jack Bauer is the grandson of Tommy Douglas, the politician who got Universal Health Care passed in Canada, and the actor himself has said he likes the system of socialism, which his character Jack Bauer, would have been not so pleased about. Kiefer was also the producer.
Coincidence?
Last night, on another sitcom called, The EVENT, we also have another black President, and wouldn’t you just know it, in the last episode he is dealing with a nuclear meltdown and disaster. This black President is also, like David Palmer, honest, wonderful, brave…etc, etc….all the things Obama is not. And we are seeing that he is willing to risk the death of a million of his own citizens in order to…save the planet. A concept they want you to think is sane.
I was personally shocked to hear a President, even on a sitcom, say..””Well of course I would sacrifice a million people to save the planet?”
Uh….can’t we even talk about this?
***
Nobody Knows if these sitcoms are being purposely written in a highly entertaining way, in order to mold the people into accepting that our President is not the weak, incompetent, often times malevolent, raciest man we have come to know, but the brave, bold, and wonderful black President we are seeing on our popular sitcoms. Nobody thinks this stuff is no accident.
BUT…what worries me, is not so much the propaganda of liberals in Hollywood trying to shore up the poor image of our black President— but the fact that last night THE EVENT was all about nuclear accidents, and the black sitcom President was seen…shaking Japanese officials hands. They had to have filmed this before the accident.
Coincidence?
Nobody wonders if the powerful and elite, knew that the real ‘earthquake event’ was coming.
If you go on the website of THE EVENT…you will read this about the fictional black President, Martinez.
“Moral and idealistic. Hugely popular with the American people and around the world, President Martinez wants to be a new kind of President, working toward a new America. He’s committed to honesty and runs the first truly bipartisan administration in recent history. Born to Cuban refugees in Miami, Florida, President Martinez is very proud of his Afro-Cuban roots. He is a graduate of Yale University. A lover of music, he had a drum set installed in a sound proof room in the basement of the White House, which he plays to relieve the worst stress….”
Yeah, I know. Obama is under so much stress he plays golf, and has big parties where he can listen to great drummers and singers. Obama doesn’t need a PR firm…he has Hollywood movie stars playing up his image.
Somewhere they want you to believe that Obama is President Martinez, (getting the Latino vote too!) and David Palmer all rolled into one sweet, magnificent man. …and he is a “new kind of President.”
Well, I have to agree on that. He’s new alright. And he is working for a new America.
I suggest we watch the sitcoms before the next elections..to find out if the American people even survive, and if in the next sitcom, the President has to become a dictator to “save the planet.”
How can you not like this guy? He is an American Icon. He has lead us down the deep dark avenues of his deep well of pain, and gotten paid big bucks for it. One of my favorite movies of all time, is Stephen King’s movie, The DreamCatcher. (What’s yours?) The guy is a genius..and thank god he gets up every day and puts on his rock and roll, and writes.
But, when he comes out and attacks the tea party candidates in Maine and Florida, (see video) the ONLY candidates that do NOT belong to the millionaire Plutocracy called our Congress, you have to wonder…what drug is he on now? As my mother’s always said when someone says really off- the-wall comments: Consider the source.
So let’s consider the source of Stephen King.
Since he was so bold some time ago, to say that everybody who can’t read, joins the army…insinuating that the army is filled with ignorant people, ( he paid for that comment, and trys to make up for it here) I feel it’s time to point out some very common- sense things about Stephen King.
Consider his source.
His father deserted his mother, Stephen’ s older adopted brother, and himself, when he was two. He went out for a cigarette and never came back. Stephen found an old H.P. Lovecraft book that had belonged to his father in the attic and decided to become a writer. You don’t have to be a psychiatrist to go down that road. Being a genius, (and suffering from fatherless trauma) he got hooked on comic books, reading, and discovered he had talent for writing so he became an English teacher.
Teachers, no matter how brilliant they are: live in a dream bubble. University life is completely removed from the rest of money-making society. (Not all are like that, but here in the States…the majority are.) Add cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, heroin, LSD, opium (and that’s just a few) and mix that cocktail to the “I know everything” because I’m a university professor, and you start to see a real connection between Charlie Sheen, and Mr. King. Obviously, Stephen suffers from deep depressions and writing has been his lifeline to salvation.
In his book, “On Writing,” Stephen admits he reads mostly fiction, which explains his complete ignorance on politics. Whatever political news he reads, he probably reads what he craves: which is the liberal sites. And when it comes to politics, Stephen is about as boring as they come. Stephen King…is a member of the elite, and it’s a club he feels he deserves. (And who are we to argue?)
Besides, he is so busy writing six hours a day, (according to him) he has little time for reading, which is why he got hit by a car walking and reading at the same time.
Stephen is a democrat. These arguments he gives…supporting unions, and trashing the newly elected ‘tea party’ men, are almost funny coming from him, but in this, he is no original.
He wants to be taxed more. They only take 28%. But…if you say…Hey write a check King, whose stopping you?— He then tells the crowd that he donates money..that the government doesn’t take. Well, that a good thing isn’t it? If the government had it, his money would go to abort black babies, instead of building them libraries.
Stephen has a brain lapse somewhere between Carrie and the last valium he took.
He complains that his mother once went to a Republican government and asked for help. Instead of blaming his REAL father for his mother’s hard life, he blames the state.
As for saying that military guys are “stupid,” let’s just say, those guys have seen REAL nightmares: dead bodies, buddies blowing up, scary things that Stephen King, would run and hide from and couldn’t even handle. They live nightmares, and experience fear every day.
Stephen King only imagines it.
If you put Stephen King on the battlefield in Iraq or Afghanistan, he would be the first one off the field. And his statement was so stupid, those military men could care less. They live in the real world…Stephen, does not.
No matter how rich Stephen King becomes, he will never see the world besides the painful one that he has invented in his mind. And since he can’t seem to get over that intellectual hurdle called the ‘truth’ due to his bottomless pit of pain—
Nobody feels sorry for him. (Go ahead and take that BOTH ways!)
Next time you get that extra tax money, Stephen, I think you should donate about a million copies of your books to those poor ignorant boys in the Armed Forces, free of charge. Help them escape reality.
You want them to learn how to read…don’t you?
UPDATE: You know, I watched this video again, and maybe I was a bit too hard on the guy, he does make a few good (but lame) points.
Nah.
He would like us all to “thank a union” for the benefits of mankind, but thanks anyway Stephen— I’m going to thank a soldier. And maybe you haven’t noticed, but not everyone in the Unions can read.
Nobody’s Opinion: The recent Congressional hearings being held by Peter King (R-Rep, NY) on radical Islam’s influence in America, has been claimed to be a ‘witch hunt’ by the Black Congressional Caucus. Nobody watched these hearings today, and the conclusion is as clear as the look on Shultz’s face; forget the Muslims for at least a few minutes. Trust our FBI, they’ve been doing a pretty good job so far. We need a bigger witch hunt on the dangerous Democratic Black Caucus politicians I witnessed at this hearing. I’ve decided to go over them one by one, so you can know, that WHEN we are attacked, as every single high official has told us we will be..I am personally going to blame each and every one of these people.
First off: There were two brave black men testifying today, trying to put forth the case from their own tragic personal experiences, that Muslims are here NOW, and they are recruiting our children. Especially ripe for the picking to becoming jihadists are the black men from single moms.
***
Melvin Bledsoe lost his son to the radicals. He said, when his son took down his Martin Luther King poster off the wall..he really didn’t think much. But, when he took his beloved two dogs out to the woods, and they didn’t come back..it hit him. His son was recruited in Tennessee while at college, then trained in Yemen. He is now in jail.
***
Abdirizak Bihi was another black man who testified that his nephew was “brainwashed” and taught to give his life as a suicide bomber, which he did. He too, is trying to warn the world.
These men are brave souls, who have learned the hard way the dangers we face. And while every Republican at the hearing expressed dire concern, here is what your Black Democratic Caucus had to say:
***
Jackie Speier: (D.CA) (She’s black, posing as a white Jackie Onassis) Jackie is from San Francisco, and like her buddy, Nancy Pelosi, she can get pretty nasty– and she did. Why, there wasn’t an expert among any of them, and why should she listen at all?! Her precious time was being wasted by even being there.
Hate to say it Jackie, but wear all the pearls you want, you will be one of the guilty when the nobodies look for who did not protect us.
Danger level: yellow because she values her pearls.
***
Yvette Clarke: (D.NY)Yes, that’s her with the bright teeth. Yvette, god help us all, is a chairman on Homeland Security. She said she felt like she was watching Reality TV. She told us Jews and Christians were just as liable to attack us as Muslims. We are all suffering because of this dialogue, it’s so racist.
Yvette got her seat due to her mother Uno (not to be confused with ONO) who had held the chair before her. She pushed for legislature to get names OFF the no-fly list. Remember that, if we are attacked by someone who wasn’t on it thanks to Yvette, because it passed.
She also, said she had graduated from college, (but she hadn’t) and when she was caught in the lie, she was asked to finally repay her student loans.
Dangerous level…high, due to her position on Homeland Security.
***
Laura Richardson: (D. CA) (Half white, half black lady, who looks as if she just got back from Woodstock, meaning you can be any color to be on the Democratic Black Caucus) Laura was —appalled that we were just talking about Muslims— why there were so many hate groups we are ignoring.
I have to state here that every single one of these democrats wanted to talk about white supremacy groups, KKK, and such, but Melvin Bledsoe, said to them in so many words:– Hey, this whole thing is about Muslim’s, hope you get that congressional meeting on the KKK, good luck with that.
Laura deserve a bit of explaining. She has studied in Hong Kong and Beijing, and she co-wrote the same-sex marriage law that passed in San Francisco. She is also the lady who refuses to let Republicans talk in the house, and always looks for directions on what to say when she has the podium.
MS Richardson did not pay her mortgages on her three houses, just so she’d have the money to run for office. She owed over $18,000 when she got elected. Her neighbors said she never mowed her lawn, or took out the garbage. She got a loan from a strip club.
Dangerous…due to her liberal/idealistic— my black daddy left my white mummy and me, and now I’m out to save all the ugly and poor, minorities— attitude.
***
Danny Davis- (D. IL) You remember Danny—black progressive socialist? Louis Farrakhan’s compadre? Danny was put in the Chicago seat of power by the AFL-CIO and ACORN. Blagojevich tried to arrange it that he got Obama’s senate seat, but we know how that went. His remarks on the whole thing was,“You don’t go hunting when there is no fish to catch.” Which In Chicago language means..don’t even go there, I have Mafia Redneck SoundBits. BUT— he loves America, and all men are created equal.
Danger: This man is out of the hemisphere.
***
Al Green: (D.TX) Besides the fact that it bothers him immensely that everyone thinks he IS a Muslim, this guy got stuck on the KKK. He is a New Orleans trial lawyer, son of a preacher, and like Obama, refuses to even acknowledged the subject at all. According to Al, the KKK will kill us all before any Muslim even gets out of Michigan.
(DangerWill Rogers, High)
What the black caucus wants you to think is all profiling is raciest, therefore, anyone who even claims we should profile is a racist. They will stick to that story, even if their own country goes down in a nuclear explosion, and say: Hey…we didn’t see it coming? I’m black, and because I don’t want you to profile me, you can’t profile them. It’s what they all say, but this nobody is holding them to putting themselves before the nation.
Traitors the lot of them, and dangerous.
The truth is that Saudi Arabia has poured over 90 million dollars building Mosques and schools here in America, and it’s not because they love our Western ways.
***
Sheila Jackson summed up the Black Caucus opinions on the subject when she said this:
“There is no redeeming factual information that any of us will receive today,” she said. “It has already been tainted, this hearing. There is no loud sign of reasoning coming out of this hearing.”
With reasoning like that, it’s clear to this nobody that we have to get these people out of office before they kill us all.
When a racist group like the Democratic Black Caucus can doom America to such danger, just to protect their own racist agendas’— only a political witch hunt of our own will save us.
Vote them all out, or get them out any legal way possible,.and as Melvin, a concerned black man would say: Save the babies America, save us all.
Too bad the Democratic Black Caucus is not listening to him.
Nobody Get Email on Saturday Night: Obama said just the other day: While the United States produces ONLY 2% of the oil production in the world, our nation consumes the most. He said it as if he was taking to a greedy, fat, child that he hates, and he wants to see us all fall off his new trains for being such greedy little oil consumers.
I got this email some time ago, but due to the light of recent events, the Middle East in riots, and the nuclear reactors melting from the earthquake in Japan, maybe Obama should make a call to the U.S. Department of the Interior, after he gets off the golf course. (I know, fat chance of that happening.) I have no idea if it’s bogus, but, I tried checking it out and it appears to be true. (Thanks to Mona)

About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes Brothers was the guest. The host said to Forbes, “I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. have in the ground? ” Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, “more than all the Middle East put together.”
Please read below:
The U.S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn’t been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and extreme eastern Montana…check this out: The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable…at $107 a barrel, we’re looking at a resource base worth more than $5…3 trillion.
“When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea..” says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature’s financial analyst. “This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years,” reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It’s a formation known as the Williston Basin, but it is more commonly referred to as the ‘Bakken.’ It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada.
For years, U.S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the ‘Big Oil’ companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken’s massive reserves. and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 per barrel! That’s enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight.
And if THAT didn’t throw you on the floor, than this next on should…it’s from 2006. U.S. Oil Discovery-Largest Reserve in the World: Stansberry Report Online-4/20/2006 Hidden beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the untapped oil reserve in all the world. It is more than 2 trillion barrels. On August 8, 2005, President Bush mandated it’s extraction. In all these years of high oil prices, none of it has been extracted.
With this mother-load of oil, why are we still fighting about off-shore drilling? They reported this stunning news: We have more oil insides our borders, than all other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates. 8 Times as much as Saudi Arabia, 18 times as much oil as Iraq, 21 times as much oil as Kuwait, 22 times as much oil as Iran, 500 times as much oil as Yemen.
And it’s all right here in the United States.
How can this be? How can we NOT be extracting this?
Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil. Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy…WHY?
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we’ve got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle-East, more than 2 trillion barrels untapped. That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports the Denver Post.
Pass this along. If you don’t take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices…by doing nothing, you forfeit your right to complain.
Nobody’s Opinion: “President Obama” said one thing today, that I had to agree with. When disaster strikes, people’s hearts connect and sympathize. Okay—he didn’t say that, but something very esoteric like, which meant the same thing. (Take note: this was a first for me, and probably the last as far as it comes to agreeing with him on any subject.)
As we all watch the horrible tragedy in Japan, we all know, deep down inside..it could happen anywhere, at anytime. It could happen to us tomorrow..and so when Obama took the opportunity of the tragedy in Japan to come out and talk smack about how it’s the oil companies that have kept us behind in the drilling, and then had his bacon-boy, Bill Clinton, second that notion, you had to remember that…
Nobody’s Perfect:
Obama is strictly a politician, and so like a true politician he took the day to attack the Republicans with using the budget to play politics. Here’s a fact that drives me crazy that nobody ever brings up. Whenever the Democrats are doing something slimy…they right away vehemently accuse the Republicans of doing exactly what they are doing…it’s maddening.
Nobody Cares:
Hillary came out today and said that U.S. Air Force “assets” had delivered “some really important coolant” to a Japanese nuclear power plant. The fact that it was a false statement, and no such thing had happened, was completely ignored as..just a little mistake. Sort of like the time Hillary claimed that she had been shot at getting off a plane in Iraq, when a picture came out and she was getting flowers from a little girl. She just WANTS it to be, so she thinks in her mind…it happened. When you lie so many times, like Hillary, after a while, I guess its all just a big blur.
Nobody Knows: There was actually good news today, coming out of Time Magazine. Bill Keller the executive editor of Time…has a little rift going on with Arianna Huffington, of the Huffington Post. He said this:
Huffington has discovered that if you take celebrity gossip, adorable kitten videos, posts from unpaid bloggers and news reports from other publications, array them on your website and add a left-wing soundtrack, millions of people will come.”
And he’s right. How this came out of somebody that works at Time Magazine, Nobody Knows.
Nobody’s Fool:
Here’s a guy Nobody really likes: Rand Paul said this today about the government putting their big brother noses into our houses.
—“Light bulbs, refrigerators, toilets, you name it. You can’t go around your house without being told what to buy,” Paul said. “You restrict my purchases. You don’t care about my choices. You don’t care about the consumer. “Frankly, my toilets don’t work in my house, and I blame you and people like you who want to tell me what I can install in my house,” Paul said. He added, “I find it insulting.
Everybody else does too, Paul—thanks for saying it.
Nobody Wins: when your President tells people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. He said “No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahir Square.” That’s because they would…die. Nobody would like to remind the President that he is more than welcome to go to China and try to get himself that job.
Nobody Flashes: Global warming caused this earthquake along with the moon. And if you believe that, then Nobody has a Charlie Sheen poem to sell you on E-bay.
Nobody Wonders:
It seems we have two problems coming at us having to do with radiation. Japan has two nuclear facilities already releasing 1000X the normal rads. Tonight, it is being reported as quite serious. So, Nobody Wonders what is going to cause more cancer…Japan’s Meltdowns or the TSA screenings here in the United States? It has just been released that those screening machines are 10X higher than expected.
What can we do about it? Right now, I’m going to meditate in my little Japanese garden.
Wisconsin lawmakers sent a bill eliminating most collective=bargaining rights for the state’s public-employee unions to Gov. Scott Walker on Thurday, setting a precedent other states could follow in the broadest move in decades to curb unon rights.
This was my favorite video from the Wisconsin Union Strikers. It seems Sly and the family Stone have been revived and booked for a encore. The “cop” is a stripper (I don’t know, I kinda doubt that one) and the deer could be anyone ….but by the way he plays the horn, I’d guess he’s from the Fred Flinstone’s “Find a Mouse and Kill It.” By now, the American hero, Scott Walker, has stunned in this order: Jesse Jackosn, Jesse Jackson Jr., Joy Bearyourheart, and Michael Moore…who was so beside himself, he attacked Oprah on National TV with a pair of handcuffs, that no doubt, he got off that stripper cop.
Micheal also took it upon himself to make himself the head of the NEA and cancel all the schools all over the country for Friday, in a day of celebration.
What? You don’t think that most of the kids in America will not be celebrating becuase Micheal Moore said they could take the day off?
Jesse Jackson acts like these people are going to…float down the Mississippi and Sting like a bee…not necessarily in that order. But, before you feel sorry for them, here’s some statistics.

Dear Mark Zuckerman: Please, Hack the Patent Office and Help the Little Inventor
Nobody Cares
I hope, that I am going to get off politics for one day and write about the movie, “The Social Network,” since I just watched it today for the first time. (That’s me and my friend Pattie.)
The movie was fascinating from the point of —is it right to “steal” an idea? I know something about this since I have gone threw the whole patenting process myself, and since Zuckerman actually, sort of..stole the FACEBOOK “idea” and was TIME’S MAN OF THE YEAR, in 2010, …so what does that say about ethics in business?
That’s basically what the movie was about. Did this genius kid, STEAL the idea from others? To set the question — up short from the movie…this is the argument: Zuckerman gets dumped by his girlfriend, and in a huffy snit, goes back to his Harvard dorm and “hacks” into all the schools many files, which includes all the school pictures. His friend gives him an algorism in order for him to achieve what he wants to do. I would have argued, his friend should have been at least half owner in the intellectual property, because Mark did not pay him as an outside contractor. In fact, his friend (Eduardo Saverin) financed him in the beginning..but he didn’t have the idea, so he agreeed to be the business partner in the company. And it grows from there.
Mark puts up a sort of contest on Harvard’s computers: He puts up two pictures and everyone has to say whether the person is HOT or NOT. He calls it FACEMASH.
You would never know that Mark’s mother was a psychiatrist, because evidently she wasn’t a very good one, having raised a kid with no cares as to who he hurts from his antics. For a genius, he was pretty stupid in human affairs, or you get the feeling, he really doesn’t care. A narcissistic genius with the emotional IQ of a warthog.
BUT…in today’s world of billionaires, good thing he was an “ambitious warthog” and didn’t care whose feelings he hurt with the contest, because he upset so many people, that the Harvard computer system crashed, leaving him open to three other boys who come up with an idea to take the FACEBOOK (Yes, there was college Face book already) and make one for Harvard. Mark, tells them yes, then goes home, and with his vast abilities as a software programmer, takes the idea and runs with it.
He sends them email after email…to say he’s busy. They sue him, his best friend who financed him in the beginning sues him…because the Napster guy comes in and with his street smarts and gets him Angel financers, without whom he could not have gotten as big. In the end, everyone gets a big piece of the pie, which seemed pretty fair.
There is no doubt the guy deserves his fame. He had built a plug in for the MP3 player Winamp that would learn your music listening habits, then create a playlist to meet your taste. Microsoft and AOL were interested. And he was smart to ignore them.
This brings me to an important point: Zuckerman was from Harvard. Bill Gates, went to Harvard. Had these guys been at any other place, this movie might not have been made. As the movie points out, it’s who you know, and even Zuckerman knew that as the first scene points out. Up to now our patent system has protected all the individual inventors that don’t go to Harvard. That’s about to end if we don’t act.
The Senate is about to vote on No. S. 23.
The so-called “Patent Reform Act of 2011” will destroy our patent system by setting up a system that disadvantages small inventors in favor of large corporations, makes it easier to infringe patents, easier to challenge patent rights in administrative proceedings and in the courts, and makes it more expensive for inventors to defend their patents.
So many of our greatest minds are about to be put out in the pasture. It’s already difficult to get an invention patented. If this passes, you might as well not even try…unless of course, you go to Harvard and can hack into the patent office. (Mark?) The multinational companies are out to make sure, you either work for them, or you don’t.

FACEBOOK, was made movie of the Year, and Zuckerman was made Man of the Year, because our government is using FACEBOOK as the new media to cause revolutions all over the world.
Kind of ironic. Freedom in Cairo, made by a Jew.
Jesse Eisenburg did a great job playing Zuckerman. He doesn’t have a FACEBOOK page because he said he doesn’t want to post trivial stuff abut himself. But Zuckerman, is helping his not so good image, with what else? A brand new puppy.
He’s just upped his IQ by ten.
So, call your senators and tell them to vote NO on the Patent Reform Act of 2011. It’s more important than you know.
You have seen all the interviews on every network, with the perfect Charlie Sheen, but you haven’t seen this one: Inmate Lance Mckenzie interviews Charlie from the Yamhill County Jail:
*****
Lance: Hey Charlie, you’re a big hit here man…all the inmates love ya, bro.
Charlie: I’m on a quest to claim absolute victory on every front Lance, thanks.
Lance: So, the guys here want to know if your show, “Two and a Half men” is about two guys and a dwarf…they don’t let us watch it here.
Charlie: I’m proud of what I created. Why wouldn’t I be? I exposed people to magic. I expose them to something that they otherwise would not see in their boring normal lives. And I gave that to them! That sucks man, that they won’t let you watch the Tiger Warlock in action man…really.
Lance: Yeah, it’s pretty boring here. Sometimes it’s so boring you just want to die, know what I mean? Hey Charlie, can you send me some of your magic whatever…got any cobics? Maharishi? Chocolate chips?
Charlie: Dying is for fools. Amateurs.
Lance: Well, I miss my drugs man…you think you could score me some?
Charlie: I probably took more than anybody could survive. I was bangin’ seven-gram rocks and finishing them because that’s how I roll, because I have one speed, one gear. GO! I’m different, I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man.
Lance: Wow…tiger blood, I had some of that stuff once…I had a hard time walking.
Charlie:Shutup! Hey, I’m clean. I can’t help you out there Lance. I am on a drug, it’s called ‘Charlie Sheen.’ It’s not available cause if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off, and children will weep over your exploded body.
Lance: Wow man…that doesn’t sound too good. Haven’t you got anything else? Purple Haze? I wanna coast…you know what I mean?
Charlie: Yeah, I mean what’s not to love about me Lance? Especially when you see how I party. Man it was epic. That run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of ’em just look like droopy-eyed aimless children.
Lance: I once had some stuff with another Charlie ..he was real strange man. He kept talking in crazy rants, kept saying things like “Helter Skelter.” over and over again. Did you ever party with Charlie, Charlie?
Charlie: DUH! Yeah, probably… I think that’s where I first heard, “I’ve got poetry at my fingertip.” Charlie used to say that. I’m still alive, which is pretty cool. I got rocket fuel that lives in the tip of my saber. But I’m dealing with fools and trolls, out here Lance. I’m dealing with soft targets, and it’s just strafing runs in my underwear.
Lance: That’s not good man.
Charlie: Hey Lance, It’s been a tsunami. And I’ve been riding it on a mercury surfboard.
Lance: Well hell, man, why don’t you hook me up with some of that Charlie Sheen stuff?
Charlie: I can’t man., you borrow my brain for five seconds and just be like “Dude, can’t handle it! Unplug this bastard!”..it fires in a way that is perhaps not from this terrestrial realm.
Lance; I could use some new underwear– Charlie, in fact, you could send me some…you know what I mean? Score some of that terrestrial realm stuff for me bro. Just fold it over.
Charlie: Score, like in win? We win so radically in our underwear before our first cup of coffee, it’s scary. People say it’s lonely at the top, but I sure like the view.”
Lance: Charlie, you’re a real lumberjack, you know?
Charlie: Thanks bro. I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars, and people can’t figure me out, they can’t process me. I don’t expect them to. You can’t process me with a normal brain. People who aren’t special. People who don’t’ have tiger blood and Adonis DNA. You must be special Lance.
Lance: Yeah, I love ya man. After I saw that cool tatoo you got, I went out and got one too.
Charlie:Shut up! What’s it say?
Lance: Lick me
Charlie: That’s cool man. Shut up! You know why I can say that? Because I’ve a 10,000 year old brain and the boogers of a 7-year- old. I’ve got poetry at my fingertips. Lick me. Love it. Hey, gotta go Lance…my goddess’ are WINNING!
Lance..Okay…keep on winning bro! Bye.

Lance gets out in sixty days, in case there are any lumberjacks out there who might want to catch up with him. Lance wins the Nobody’s Perfect contest for this week, because Charlie Sheen, as the whole world now knows…is perfect. …..DUH.
(Nobody Makes this stuff up, and all in good fun!)
Nobody Wins: Mitt Romney is learning how to be a politician, something he lacked in the last election.
He implemented Obamacare in Massachusetts before Obama did it. For a man who knew he was going to run for President again, that was remarkably stupid.
Here’s some of the statements he is coming up with lately:
“We were one of the laboratories of democracy. Our experiment wasn’t perfect—some things worked, some didn’t, and some things I’d change. One thing I would never do is to usurp the constitutional power of states with a one-size-fits-all federal takeover.”
“I would repeal Obamacare, if I were ever in a position to do so. (Nobody emphasises— There’s the key to the politician’s, get-out-of-my- promises-for-free card.) My experience has taught me that states are where healthcare programs for the uninsured should be crafted, just as the Constitution provides. Obamacare is bad law, bad policy, and it is bad for America’s families.”
“The right answer is to believe in America—to believe in freedom, free enterprise, capitalism, limited government, federalism—and to believe in the constitution, as it was written and intended by the founders.”
To which this nobody says: You didn’t know that two years ago Mitt, and HOW old are you? How in the world can we believe that you even have an IQ of an Abalone in heat?
Wait…this is just politics.
Who in their right minds would trust a guy who uses American people as guinea pigs in a laboratory? That’s how they look at us. As rats to experiment with. They must have programs at Harvard designed just for that. They use to call it social studies, now it’s social engineering, Harvard 103.
The fact is: Romney is very much a part of the Harvard rich elite incubator—all of our recent Presidents have come out of it. So, if it’s really true that the Yale/Harvard rich are running the country, than no matter what we do, Mitt will be the next President.
UNLESS..there is an attack, and Jeb Bush runs. (Don’t be so pessimistic Joyanna— Okay, I have dyspepsia tonight, I’ll admit it. All that butter.)
Mitt Romney wants to be President, and he seems willing to spend his entire fortune. He’s got the Bushes behind him, but like the Bushes, Mitt just cannot stop being a big Rhino. The fact that he spent millions of his own money last time to be President, and this time is going to cost him a lot more…makes you wonder…why?
His father was the head of American Motors, and Mitt was named after the owner of Marriott, who was his father’s best friend. This guy has a plutonian spoon in his mouth, a Harvard faculty hooked to his nose, and the road to further globalization is his destiny.
Nobody is saying he is not a nice man, it’s just that “We the little people” have been forgotten with the Harvard babies. Daddy Bush, Clinton, George W., Obama,…all come from the Harvard Presidential incubator. One more is not going to help.
Mitt’s failed plans of Universal Health Care cost the good Massachusetts people a bundle. So, I figure— save the money for your Presidential run, Mr. Romney. Pay back the poor people you swindled with your Health Care Program…and THEN run for President.
Nobody’s Opinion: Last week, I saw this baby and her parents on our local news program. A nicer couple you could not even imagine, and so it’s no wonder that baby is so full of laughter.
What was more important than the baby is…the father couldn’t find a job. He was a professor of American History, and that paper that the baby is tearing up in this video, is the father’s rejection letters. It a sad comment on the way America is being forced to change, and how our universities are dominated by the liberal plans to globalize the world, and downsize America, and American History is being dumped for international studies.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not doing well with these changes. Tonight for instance, the family had planned to meet at Red Lobster for the Lobster Fest. I had been staring at the commercial all week. Okay, I had been walking around saying, “I can’t WAIT…lobster!” I was dreaming of melted butter, and how I was envisioning myself savoring the butter for at least a minute…in culinary heaven. Michael Moore could not have beaten me to the plate, thats how excited I was. The reason I get so giddy is because, like many Americans, if I get Lobster once year, I feel lucky.
So, we pull up to the biggest Red Lobster around, and it’s Sunday, and it’s closed. Out of business. You’ve got to be kidding.
What? Did BP not come through with the check? Picture it: it’s the side of a major highway, fifteen other restaurants are around it, and..it’s closed.
On a Sunday.
Like all good sensible and hungry Americans, we went next door to a Pasta House…where they were ….out of all steaks, and a lot of other stuff. Out of steak. A restaurant, in a high-earning area, off a major highway..on a Sunday…out of meat. That was a first for me.
We all got pasta, what else?
The conversation was of course, Charlie Sheen. Everyone was laughing at “Adonis” and “Winner” and how bad you must be when even your porn star leaves you..and then my brother said something I could not believe. “Face it, Americans are all too spoiled.”
Excuse me? I maybe get lobster once a year…and I’m spoiled? Maybe I took it wrong, but he said it like we need to downsize. Hey, you don’t start family arguments in a restaurants with a brother who you only see once in a blue moon.
The subject went back to Charlie Sheen, which is my point. The changes coming to America, have been slow…and easy to ignore. I was concerned when the major malls fell into the weeds. But to have the local restaurants running out of food…?
And that’s why I’m posting this lovable babies laugh. We still have our families. Right?
I know in my heart that this man is going to find a job. God gave him the most lovable baby, who because a star on YOUTUBE, and therefore, in a roundabout way…this man will get his gift. It’s corney but true. When times are bad, family is your shelter. And I plan to spoil myself with them as long as possible.
Nobody Reports: Can you believe this? Al-Jazeera is reporting REAL news according to our Secretary of State, Hillary (I got #$%) Clinton. And here in America, we do not get good news anymore, she says. It doesn’t exist. We have too many commercials, and talking pundits. Too much “democratic” debate there for you Hillary?
(I stopped watching Seseme Street some time ago, Hillary, what are YOU watching? )
Not only that, but she thinks more people here in America are starting to watch Al Jazeera because it gives the “news.”
It’s official. Lady Clariol is doing way too much damage.
Just who do you think she is talking about here? Everyone knows: FOX .
The good news is: it means the liberals are losing in the media department, so therefore they have to send out Hillary Clinton, the woman who said (I don’t remember) about two thousand times before a grand jury, to tell us all we are not getting the facts. We need MORE stations like Al Jazeera.
Oh sure…Al Jazeera is filled with “news.” I can just imagine.
The bad news is: This means Obama the Muslim-in-Chief, wants to get Al Jazeera put on all our cable channels, so that (his) plans to make this a Muslim Nation can continue.
This statement was so insane, you can only wonder…what next? Is Hillary going to start telling us all that maybe the women over here should start wearing burkhas?
Oh…right.
They will have to get rid of O’Reilly first, and that guy will not go genlty into that good night, nor will Glenn Beck, or Cavuto…or Hannity, or Palin.
Face it Hillary..the only people that are going to turn on Al Jazeera here are Muslims.
Now I know why you have stopped wearing makeup,—you want to be a star on Al Jazeera. You don’t want to ‘offend” your Muslim comrades. It seems you have still forgotten the fact that you are an American woman.
Hillary…were you EVER an American woman?
“I don’t …recall.”
I thought you’d say that.
The day I am forced to pay for Al Jazeera on my TV cable subscription, is the day I will cancel. ..or maybe…that’s the plan.
Nobody Knows if Donald Trump is going to run for President…but if his actions lately are any concern…I’d say it’s looking pretty good. He just bought Microsoft’s Paul Allen’s 757 jet, for $100 million dollars. That’s twice as big as the 727 he has now…and he says it’s quieter.
Is he expecting a bigger crowd on his plane? Media? Senators? Wine and dine the right people?
He also recently offered to fix up the White House. That’s right. He called Obama and told him, he was tired of them throwing parties out on the lawn with an old beat-up tent, and he would take his own money…$100 million, just to get something decent so our country doesn’t look like it’s bankrupt. Obama didn’t take him up on it. (Where’s that Skinput?)
I’d say he’s planning on winning with that one. Why else would he offer it? Trump was saying, “Get ready to leave chump, I’m gonna be moving in.”
At the recent C-PAC meeting in Washington he said: “I am pro-life,” he said. “I am against gun control.”And in one of his biggest applause lines, Trump vowed to end the nation’s health care law: “I will fight to end Obamacare and replace it with something that makes sense for people in business and not bankrupt the country.”
Yes. Yes. and Yes.
Trump also pledged not to raise taxes if elected. (They ALL say that.)
I don’t know. He’s looking a lot better than anyone else to me at the moment, unless of course more people jump into the fray. But he says what he means…and that’s refreshing to this nobody. I like the guy. If we are going to have a rich man in the White House, might as well be someone who has some class, and is not afraid to stand up to anyone. And if he promises to get rid of outlawing Edison’s light bulb…..I believe, he could win on just that alone.
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.
