Nobody’s Opinion: Last week I went to Missouri’s wolf sanctuary and found out that gray wolves are an endangered species. In fact, it doesn’t seem that the wolf is doing very well in the world at all, which is a shame because they are such beautiful animals. There has never been a wolf attack on a human ever recorded in the United States. Coyotes killed 22 times more cattle than wolves do.
Here in Missouri, there are no wolves. We have “foxes.” Cute– but I wish we had more wolves. The “government” is not going to introduce them back into the wild. They are genetically monitored and strictly controlled, every single pup is accounted for—god forbid a wolf have too many.
So, are they doing this for OUR benefit?
I doubt it. BECAUSE…ladies and gents…we have WILD PIGS! And they’re not controlling them too well at all. What’s up with that? Compared to a pig, the wolves are angels They might kill a cow here or there, but pigs…just ask any Texas rancher. They can devour whole fields of sorghum, rice, wheat, soybeans, potatoes, melons, nuts, grass and hay. Corn is a favorite. And disease…they bring that too.
Texas and Florida have the most…but they are spreading, even to my state of Missouri. And as you can see by the picture, not all those pigs are little. Texas alone killed 24, 648 wild pigs in 2009.
So, how did this happen? Pigs are not native to America. Christopher Columbus brought them to the Caribbean, and Hernando DeSoto brought them to Florida, and some rich and bored hunters some time ago, brought some Eurasian boars over for hunting, and THEY managed to mate with the local feral pigs….which brings me to my story.
(What? I can’t have a story?)
***
When I was a kid, of about nine, I went on a wild boar hunt in the Everglades. Yes, there I was, little Miss Daniel Crockett…riding in the back of a swamp buggy (a swamp buggy is just a big jeep with airplane tires…sort of the first BIG FOOT)..Like I said, there I was, on a Friday night, with about seventeen other girls, all older than me. I was the youngest girl there, and there were actually three swamp buggies carrying these fine young women out into the Everglades…that night…to go…wild boar hunting.
I have NEVER figured out why two men would take seventeen young women out to hunt boars..and I don’t want to know. It’s not like they gave the girls guns, or taught them to hunt. No…they took them along just for the fun of it! Gotta love it.
I was not at the age yet— where screaming and giggling every two seconds had evolved into my brain, being a few years shy of puberty, so you can imagine I was more amazed at the girls, than the dark and scary ride out to a tiny little hut. Whatever danger lurked in the dark was miles away from the noise made by seventeen giggling girls.
When we got to our “quarters” it was one small hut, with ten bunkers, one fridge, one pot bellied stove…and an outhouse. I slept on the floor.
Don’t forget the outhouse. There was a spider that was on the top left corner of the inside that was as big as a hubcap. I kid you not. We went to the bathroom in pairs.
I talked to it. “Don’t you EVEN think about it!”
There were three adults on this trip…and they had all been evidently, the very MOST expert hog hunters— in the Philippines. None of them spoke English very well, but the small petite woman, who was going to hunt the boar, could tell, I was told, the most fabulous raunchy dirty jokes.—good thing I knew nothing about sex, because this lady did NOT shut up. To this day, I have not heard a comedian match her memory of jokes anywhere. I always knew when they ended because she would laugh really loud at herself. And then she start up again.
When it came time to hunt the boars, we all got in the swamp buggies, and it took us quite a while before we found one. And it had tusks, and screamed furiously, it was about 500 pounds, and it put up a big fight. Time and again it attacked the buggy, and was just about the ugliest thing I had ever seen. Was I scared? Okay, a little. But the guys had guns, so…I was more amazed.
The NEXT day…that was the scary day. The men went back out to hunt some more “boar” (They had let the first one go because he was too big for the fridge) and the little comedian decided to take us all out for a nice walk in the midday swampy sun, all seventeen of us. I was near the front, and after about an hour…the girl in the lead, screamed as loud as she could, and ran right past me. The NEXT girl in front of her…again…screamed—“‘SNAKE!!!” and ran passed me.
So, there I was. In front telling them to knock it off. Cowards. Then…I saw…palmettos…being flattened against the ground. Dozens of them. (picture a big bush being flattened…same thing.) and as I looked down, about twelve feet in front of me was the biggest snake I had ever seen, and I had seen many for my age. The body…sleuthing slowly…slowly…about the size of a Oak tree trunk.
I froze— fascinated at first, and then, held my breathe. It’s head was a good deal already pass me…and I got tired of waiting for the other end to pass by. It was sort of like sitting in a car and waiting for a train to pass by. I wanted to see it, really I did…the tail I mean. But…it was moving too slow, and the rest of the girls were making much too much noise.
I calmly walked back to the other girls who were crying hysterically, and told them it was just a big python.
Chill.
Yes, I was brave that day, and then…puberty hit. Today, I would probably scream…although, quietly.
And now, to my point. Those big pylons are all other the Everglades now, they are NOT natives. They can eat small children. And wild boars…another alien species, can devastate a big portion of your land.
But wolves? Who do they hurt?
And more importantly, why are they letting hogs, wild boars, and pythons multiply while they are keeping wolves (who ARE natives) in some kind of perpetual endangered spices limbo?
I don’t know. But in a metaphor…the wolves of America are being overrun by alien species.
I suggest we take make our Congressmen and women go on a wild boar hunt before they enter office. Let them scream for once and take the government out of species control.
It’s typical of Congress. isn’t it? Control the natives,–but let the aliens run lose. They think of people just the same as they think of animals.
Nobody suggest that we put the worst of them on the political endangered speices list in 2012. Personally, I take a Wolf over a politican any day of the week. Few of them are as noble.
Nobody Wins: America was worked up to a gurgling great-bellied political tizzy today. All the networks acted as if it was the end of our world as we know it if a budget wasn’t passed by midnight. It came down to: Should we keep paying the boys overseas to die for freedom in the Middle East (and hopes that democracy will spread in Bush’s 50 years), or continue to pay for the one abortion every 95 seconds going on at Planned Parenthood, which needs only a meager $363.2 million a year to save women lives? (unless they happen to be unborn women that is.)
Heeellloooo?
If you picked Planned Parenthood to be funded over our troops, then maybe you should consider: What exactly is your purpose on this planet? Go ahead, there are LOTS of books out there to help you.
I don’t get it. The last two times the “budget” wasn’t passed was because the Democrats just didn’t feel it was worth even doing—Nobody Cared at all. But today, it was made into the greatest congressional fight since Ali and Frazier: A fight brought on by the tea party, who want to end all life on the planet.
Yes, and Harry Reid’s wife, daughter, and great granddaughters just might die. He pretty much said as much late into the wee hours before the final vote, which got them to throw out the question of whether or not to fund that lover of life and liberty..Planned Parenthood, and talk about it some other day.
Scarlett O’Hara would be proud.
I guess Harry just can’t afford good insurance on his wife and daughter. They HAVE to go to Planned Parenthood, he’s so poor…wait…I’m sure Harry’s family is on his really great Congressional Health Plan, so why all this worry about Planned Parenthood?
Did Harry Reid just LIE to the American people?
Sure he did. And he not getting any better at it.
And excuse me…Doesn’t Obamacare provide all the very same things that Planned Parenthood does? Why are we funding two programs?
Somewhere in the middle of the afternoon…Harry Reid gave it another shot. He scowled and gave his best and most scariest warning: The Cherry Tree Festival…might not go on.
OH NO…not that! Anything but that! Minute by minute panic buttons were being pressed and Americans were told that, all the parks would close down, you would not get your tax refunds until 2033, and all non-essential people would not get paid, which in real life means, two-thirds of all governmental workers, and all of Congress and our President. Everyone would still work, just not get a paycheck…it’s their progressive dream. We’d just all start bartering, tennis shoes, IPODS, and garden vegetables. Alex Baldwin would have to actually shut-up.
The drama continued to build throughout the day…Congressmen and women all giving their opinions on the hard work and frustration…each party blaming the other.
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) said [Thursday] that the new Republicans elected to the House of Representatives last November came to Congress “to kill women.” She also likened Republican efforts to prohibit federal funding of abortion except in cases of rape, incest or where the life of the mother is endangered to actions taken by Nazis. And she voted for Obamacare because she thinks the idea of a small panel of people deciding who gets to live and who needs to die is just a wonderful way to practice democracy. (Okay, I said that last sentence)
In the end…at the 11th hour..the whole show was done in dramatic fashion. They, the great Congress, came up with a total of $38 million to cut…which is like me telling Bill Gates that I will give him a down payment of one dollar for Microsoft.
Joseph Farrah explains it this way… • 1 million seconds equals 12 days
• 1 billion seconds equals 32 years;
• 1 trillion seconds equals 32,000 years.
****
We are 14.7 trillion in debt. Let’s put them all on American Idol and make them sing.
***
Harry Reid gave himself a victory dance tonight. But this nobody saw a great dog and pony show, that made you think your congress was working really hard folks— Trust us, we did a fantastic job of sending out cronies hour by hour to built up to the final moment of …YES…we agreed on something! Please love us again! They are all in so much doo-doo they can’t get out of it…might as well put on the old political show to make the masses think something is REALLY going to change. I wouldn’t doubt it if they were all playing cards all day.
***
“Ah…come on. One more game…let them all anticipate it. They will be so happy when we don’t shut it down…Come on Harry…you’re turn to deal.”
***
Yes, Harry is happy tonight. “This is historic, what we’ve done,” said Harry Reid.
I agree Harry….historically idiotic, even for you.
When General Petraeus came out and reprimanded a preacher in Florida for burning a Koran, who thereby upset thousands of Afghanistan’s men so much they went into a ranting killing spree, I don’t know about you, but as an American, I felt insulted. His reaction meant we are to HONOR the Muslims. Over 800 boys have lost their lives in Afghanistan so far, and I think they owe us the honor.
I wish someone would have put this woman on the internet to protest. Sure, we know our boys are in a hotspot of morons, but any speices of people that murder because someone ‘burns’ their holy book in some other land—Let’s just say, the concept of “civilization” is not going to come about any time soon.
If it were me, I’d tell them for every man they killed, 200 acres of poppy fields would be burned.
This woman is fiesty, and fun…and I wish she’d run for Congress. Be sure and listen to the end. I love this gal!
(Thanks to amfortas, you were right…she is an American after my own heart!)
Nobody’s Fool: Glenn Beck, one of the most popular pundits on all of cable land, announced that his program, The Glenn Beck Show, will be ending this year, and he is not giving out much other information about it. What…no more chalkboards?
The news came as a shock for those of us who watch his program. Nice words came from both the Fox management and Glenn on the decision, so we are left to wonder..what happened? Did the FOX Saudi stock holders say, “that’s enough?” Does Glenn see an opportunity to make more money launching his own cable network? Or is it because he needs a rest since he has been working at breakneck speed and his body wants a break?
I suspect: all of the above.
The one thing you can count on is Glenn will not stop at whatever he has planned. He’s not going away, but will probably go to a cable channel of his own. I see a Ted Turner Beck coming around the corner…which might be good, or bad, because Glenn is not exactly “fair and balanced”— he is not a newsman. He’s a person who is trying to put the world together in his mind…and while he doesn’t always get it right (as in the ‘birther’ situation) his enthusiasm alone gets him attention.
His ratings have dropped. I stopped watching him because he was talking too much about God, not that I don’t like God, but no one on the planet knows what ‘god’ thinks, not even Glenn Beck. Also, he was relentless about the horror that is coming our way. Plant a garden. Start going back to grandma’s way…can your own food. He’s one step away from telling us all dig for oil.
Tell me, if we get attacked tomorrow…and I had already gone out and planted green peppers, my green peppers won’t be ready in a couple of months…Yeah, I can hold out–plastic flower salads might get me through.
My point is, Americans, no matter how real the dangers, are having enough trouble just wondering what to have for dinner that night. All our lives, we have been spoiled…we can’t believe that somthing bad will happen to us. Robinson Crusoe, while a great book, is just not an American concept.
Glenn has recently figured out about the “global world government” that many of our richest leaders have been trying to enforce and put in place. George Soros right now, is holding another Britten Woods II,–“lets’ control the media, the money and the world” —right out in the open.
I was rather pleased to hear Glenn talk about the Muslims wanting to take over America. I was also glad to hear him finally get on the “global’ subject, because it’s the reason I started blogging in 2005. One day I just woke up and saw the danger in the globalists, and that was because I had been listening to Alex Jones late at night on Coast to Coast…loooooong before Glenn.
When I first heard Alex, I could not believe some of the things he was saying. He was a lot like Glenn Beck in that respect. He was putting puzzle pieces together and just wanted to tell the world what he was finding out, and it wasn’t good. Like Glenn, Alex brings his heartfelt concern with what he finds out.— He is out to warn the world that all is not what it seems. And also…like Glenn, sometimes gets it wrong— they are only human. (Aren’t we all?)
At the time, Alex accused George W. Bush of being somewhat…let’s just say, a man working for “global” interests. And then he said our government met in secret places every year, in the woods, and dressed up in robes, and met in cabins to discuss us all.
Baloney!…I thought–until I saw the proof on video.
You know, it’s one thing to know that our leaders are meeting in the halls of Congress. It’s another thing to see them meet in so much in secret, like the G8, (now 20)the Bilderberg meetings, and the special private meetings with lobbyists down the street of the White House. Obama does this secret meeting stuff all the time outside of the White House, so he can say he isn’t meeting with lobbyists and there is no record of it.
BUT…to see them dressed up in robes and praising a giant owl…you really have to wonder…WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
The other day, I was listening to a very angry Alex Jones, who was complaining, and rightly so, that Glenn Beck had stolen all his hard work…the work and research that took him years to compile, and Glenn was using it on his show, and not given him any credit at all for it. Well, that’s exactly how many recording artists felt when millions of people downloaded their songs without paying a nickel, when Napster was all the rage.
It’s a brave new internet world, where copyrights, and ideas can be taken, rehashed, posted, played, enjoyed, all with the click of a mouse, and one man builds on another man’s sweat.
And I agree…Glenn should give him at least a shout-out. In journalism, you are not suppose to take more than a few paragraph of another’s work, without giving credit to the author, and I have to admit, Glenn Beck has got a lot from Alex Jones.
I’ve also heard Michal Savage complain about the “stealing” of his ideas.
The good news is: Alex Jones is finally coming up in the world. He has a great website, and a spot on Drudge. He got some exposure on Jesse Ventura’s TV program. On the other hand, Glenn is taking Alex’s work and spreading out to the people that don’t listen to Alex Jones. In the end, the more people know, the more we can make plans on what to do.
And the man, who should get the MOST credit…is George Noory. Nobody talks about him too much, but George has orchestrated it all…presenting every conspiracy, political, or not on his show. Trouble is…his show, Coast to Coast, is on at night while everyone is sleeping… And he is now the number one radio host…beating out even Rush Limbaugh.
Oh, you didn’t know that? Well…in the words of Fox Molder…The Truth is Out There…you just have to kiss a lot of frogs to find it.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiibit.
Glenn Beck, the ultimate frog horn of alarm…will not stay gone for long. Unless…he knows something we don’t, and he’s planning on hiding in some bunker.
And in that case…I’m listening to as many frogs as I can find. I will even kiss a few toads if I have to.I have found out, that you have to really dig deep for that sweet green pepper called truth, so let’s hope they both keep croakin’.
—about the fact that I’m a sucker for the Spanish Guitar…I saw this the other day— not only is the music wonderful, the video made me think: Right now in the deep halls of our Congress, our politicans are circling each other like sharks—trying to balance the “budget.”
Maybe we should send this woman into the dark shallow depths of our Congress…as you can see, she is a master of Sharks!
In fact…did you how well she handled Harry Reid? And there was a great shot of Obama.
And at the end…Nancy Pelosi is actually looking pretty good.
Nobody’s Perfect: It was hard not to comment on the fabulous failure of Charlie Sheen’s road show this week. It was also hard not to celebrate the retirement of Katie Couric from the CBS nightly news, but, I found these two flaming pilgrims mere twits on a baby’s dimpled butt-cheek compared to the real life mistakes of our big and bold socialist leaders.
Obama makes the list again this week, (I cannot seem to keep him off) but he has good company in our favorite gal about the world, Hillary Clinton. Most of us have noticed that for the FIRST time in Obama’s administration, Hillary Clinton has been on the front lines running the United States in foreign affairs in the East because, if there is a mistake made, Obama can blame her.
Hillary, the maniacal man-hater, has found one man she wants to stick up for: Assad of Syria. Assad has killed 40,000 of his own people in Lebanon (according to WIKIPEDIA) …which puts him right up there with Saddam, but Hillary said that Assad is a “reformer.” In other words, when his people rose up against him recently, she stuck up for him.
Now, does this have ANYTHING to do with the Golan Heights that Israel won far and square after being attacked by Syria in the Yom Kipper War? Is this against the Jews— because this is land that Obama would like Israel to give back? Or is it because satellite images project plutonian in Syria? This from Charles Krauthammer:
Clinton’s statement is morally obtuse. Here are people demonstrating against a dictatorship that repeatedly uses live fire on its own people, a regime that in 1982 killed 20,000 in Hama and then paved the dead over. Here are insanely courageous people demanding reform—the the U.S. secretary of state tells the world that the thug ordering and shooting of innocents already is a reformer, thus effectively endorsing the Baath party line—“We are all reformers,” Assad told parliament—and undermine the demonstrators” cause.
Hillary is no pimp of piety. Obviously she was told to stick up for Assad by her boss. And speaking of her boss, Hillary’s racking mistake is nothing compared to her boss’s decision, made today, that…well ..I’ll just keep Gitmo opened and those terrorist that I said I would put on trial in New York, are going to be tried by military court. He announced this absurd reversal on the same day he said he was running for reelection, which of course reminded everyone how he had promised to close Gitmo on his first day in office, and how he had also lobbied hard to give a “fair trial” to the terrorists of 9/11 in New York, causing more years of extreme heartache to all those that suffered on that day.
Obama’s political instincts are sharp and so, he passed the buck of blame on this to Eric Holder. Bob Holder said this in a press conference: “Do I know better than them? Yes. I respect their ability to disagree but they should respect that this is an executive branch function, a unique executive branch function,”
Obama has a lot of “executive branch functions” doesn’t he? In other words, a dictator can branch out as many functions as he seems fit.
No wonder he likes Assad.
Obama’s Youtube reelection video, which was released today, was so lame, that you would actually think MR. Perfect wants to lose.
Or,—is he just waiting for some big moment to recapture his popularity?
Nobody thinks, with these two running the show, Obama might never have to run for reelection ever again.
Nobody’s Opinion I was flushing around in an old 1995 book I had in my library today called, The Practical Guide to Practically Everything, when I came across the Chapter on Careers:
Here’s what it said, and I’m NOT making this up:
THE YEAR AHEAD: BE PREPARED…for more job turmoil, less job security…
Remember, in 1995, Bill Clinton was President, and the economy, according to everyone at the time was the best it had ever been. Yes, Bill Clinton, it was being reported daily, had bought down our deficit and gave us a surplus, the first in years! So…Why does this say, in 1995, that there will be more job turmoil? How did this guy know?
He knew.
ADVOIDmanufacturing jobs, which will continue to slump…
Okay, how did they know that? This is 1995, BEFORE the big crash. It’s almost as if this guy KNEW the plan coming, and was really telling us what to do. Trump is right. We have no manufacturing here, and it’s been slowly dissipating for many years due to our fine officials in Washington, who did not protect our manufacturing base, which every other country in the world does but us.
It was suicidal, so why?
The biggest employer is our government, and those that work for the government just manufacture huge, gargantuan salaries— among other nefarious things. But to write this in 1995?
They knew.
SEEKout jobs in the fast-growing service sector.
Now you get the feeling they were purposely taking all of America to a ‘service’ economy for some ultimate far-off goal. This was not the FIRST time I had read that the United States of America would become a “service” economy..KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, Subway, K-Mart, Wal-Mart— there are mostly only service jobs now in the private sector. I had been reading about us becoming a service job economy for many years in various career books in the libraries as far back as 1990. Most of the “service’ jobs now, are in the government.
It was like they were preparing the masses, to know, that in the future..America would be just “service.’ No manufacturing. Let those Chinese do it. We’ve decided.
They knew.
APPLYfor an internship to land a job…
While working free for a short time is nothing new, it has been taken to a fine art. Arianna Huffington just got reprimanded for not paying her many writers on her Huffington Post. Volunteering is the new mantra…don’t get paid…donate all your services for free. Be a good person. Cleverly they are using the churches to push this “we want free slaves” idea. How many jobs nowadays have internships besides the government? Enquiring minds want to know.
DON’T EXPECTmore than a 4 percent raise…
How about, don’t expect any raises? How about— expect to lose your job sometime soon and then work the rest of your life at a part- time job?
PROTESTbecause women still earn less than men…
Oh please…this one is getting old. But it’s the new/too old, feminist agenda. A lot of women in America make MORE money than the men, at least around my neighborhood. They are destroying the “men’s’ jobs, which are mostly in construction, and manufacturing…so that we will have a nation of women at work, in ‘service’ jobs, and not at home raising kids. Send those liberal bleeding hearts to Afghanistan, they need women workers there. (Wait, I’m getting cantankgerous…where’s my tonic?)
ANTICIPATEfewer perks… Fewer perks? Is no more eating out, or taking vacations, or buying new cars, or sending the kids to college, or going to movies, etc… considered a perk? I don’t know too many people riding in Limo’s.
Forget the perks, unless you’re on welfare, then you can take that trip to Las Vegas.
SURFthe Internet for new job listings…
Charlie Sheen is looking for Warriors who can hold machete’s..Tweet him.
DON’T ANSWERevery question at a job interview..
This means, do not, under any circumstances whatsoever, tell the interviewer you are a tea party patriot or a birther. In the words of Professor Dumbledore…The consequences could be severe.
RELAXif you get fired.
If you are any color but white, you have no worries. The government will take care of you. (Wait, my cousin is white and the government has supported her and her three kids, and her six grandchildren for just about forever.) Okay….you have to be lazy, and dishonest. I will say…’If you are lazy and dishonest.” relax…get fired.
BUT…If you are white, you are to become an extinct species…and if you don’t believe me, look up any information on how the white man is going to be the minority by the year 2025. They are TELLING you now, just so you know.
They warned you back in 1995, so they are warning you now.
What’s next? My advice is to watch as much Sci-Fi as you can, and Glenn Beck. We are being shown night after night that most of America is going to be attacked, by comets, sunspots, ice storms, global warming, the 12th Imam, weather manipulation, Lindsey Lohan,…..so when it happens…be good boys and girls and do whatever the authorities tell you.
I guess they now know, no one is reading 2011’s Practical Guide to Practically Anything because if they were, they would be not only be trying to get fired, but would be volunteering to work for FEMA’s food services, in order to be ready for 2025. Or…is America going to be destroyed in 2012?
This was one of my favorite emails this past week.
This video reminds me of an old Richard Gere movie, POWER, where Richard played a PR man who was hired to get some guy elected President of the United States. It’s a movie worth watching, next time you’re at the video store.
The point of the movie was that a candidate can say ANYTHING to get himself elected, but once there, he can do whatever he wants. Scott Brown, ran as a conservative and won in Massachusetts. He is a fine example of what candidates can do to win people’s hearts. Scott drove a pick-up truck, got the tea party to back him, then after he was elected, he dumped them.
This video is a perfect example of this political deceit game. The promises Obama makes here are one of the reasons many voted for him. The only thing that is missing in this, is Obama saying that he would promise to never launch a war without Constitutional backing….something he just did. That is in another video.
So, one must ask…why ARE there not a boatload of reporters calling him on these things that he promised?
Uhhhhh…do I need to answer that?
Somebody should send this to Donald Trump…
Here we see 7 lies in less than 2 minutes. Amazing.
Pass it around if you haven’t seen it, and remember to tell your liberal friends when they go to the ballot box.
Making the List of Acceptable Risks: What do these People Have in Common?
Nobody Remembers one of the reasons for Charles Lindbergh’s great success, was that he was, according to his youngest child, Reeve Lindbergh, “an inveterate list maker. We used to make fun of him.” He would follow his kids around with lists for them to do.
To Charles, they were a point of self-preservation, and he insisted that lists were part of the important mental task of being prepared for calculated, acceptable risk.
Gee…I guess Bernanke didn’t keep lists, nothing about TARP was acceptable or calculated. (Or was it?)
Lindbergh used to make great lists before a flight, and even the fishing hooks (in case of a crash over the Arctic) were counted and weighed several times. Every ounce over meant less fuel.
Another famous list maker, according to those who know her, is Madonna. It seems she gets in her limo and marks off all she has to do that day. People who have worked for her say she is almost obsessed with list making. Nobody wonders if she gives HER kids lists of things to do?
Once, Gene Simmons went practically crazy when he lost his little black appointment book on his show.
Seventy percent of the people in the world, it is said, make lists. Some of them even use sticky notes on their computer. I make lists, but then, I almost never finish my daily tasks. Out of a list of fifteen, if I am lucky, I might make it to four. Show me a man or women who finishes their list every single day, and I’ll bet you they are 1. famous and 2. probably rich. That kind of drive takes superhuman effort. Not to mention—no kids, no pets, no demanding spouse, no house, no dishes, no laundry, no email, no Supernatural reruns, and no earthquakes, tornadoes, or hurricanes. It also helps if you don’t have to cook.
The only good piece of advice that I ever got from Bill Clinton, came from his book called, “My Life,” which, I must say, is one of the most boring books you can ever pick up…but it did have one redeeming factor which was…Bill told us all to make lists each and every day, and do the most important thing first, then go down the list and finish things off in the matter of their importance.
No doubt it’s one of the reasons why some little fat boy from Arkansas grew up to be one of the most powerful men in the world: He made lists. And don’t you wonder what happened to those “lists?” I bet if we could find some of Bill Clinton old lists, we would not only find thousands of telephone numbers, (and bank accounts) but lists of White House enemies, and who he had audited. Because Bill took a calculated risk even making them, you can bet they have all been shredded.
You would think by the horrible failure of the current administration, that nobody is keeping any lists at the White House…but that’s not quite true. Obama has a Blackberry. So, in the fine Nixononian tradition of keeping lists…I can only speculate what a daily list on Obama’s Blackberry might look like…
‘President’ Obama’s List of THINGS TO DO TODAY
Things with calculated acceptable risk:
1. Make sure they put your Presidential Obama logo on the cardboard Easter eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt. Make sure the Easter Party inside has the real chocolate ordered from France.
2. Call Louis Farrakhan. Explain that this war will get you reelected, and remind him that that’s important for the Muslim Nation. Mention that Kaddafi is okay.
3. Send Michelle to the Bahamas for another vacation.
4. Golf: tee time 10.am tomorrow, and Sunday. Bring the clubs Tiger gave you. Send Air Force One to pick up Jeffery.
5. Photo-op with NBA players at 1pm. Let them all stay overnight for a big party.
6. Lunch with Beyonce. (Keep the NBA players away for at least an hour)
7. Meet with Jeb Bush to go over immigration reform at 3pm.
8. Invite Donald Trump to White House, but then cancel.
9. Fly to Chicago to meet Rahm for dinner. Make sure Daley knows he can fly on Air Force One. Go over strategy for re-election.
10. Get invites out to all the highest campaign contributors to get a ride on Air Force One to Dublin. COST: $700,000 a seat. Make sure Stevie gets to come.
11. Invade Libya, but make sure it doesn’t get out.
12. Call George Soros before you retire, you know how he hates it when you don’t.
So,..as you can see that there are LISTS…and there are lists. They are not all the same. which means, after reading Obama’s list mine is starting to make me look a lot more like Lindbergh. I’m going to start weighing my essays from now on, because, I’m sure even Charles would agree….I am taking a calculated but acceptable risk just writing this.
Nobody’s Fool: I don’t know about you, but the LAST thing I want to hear from an X-American President and his wife is how they are going to spend all their remaining years devoted to bringing education, and jobs to Afghanistan women. What about AMERICAN woman?
What a bunch of holy gumballs!
That’s right. I said gumballs. I spent a few hours today blowing gumballs off my driveway. I hate gumballs. I know that mother nature gave the sweet gum tree a special gift in this world.. ” God said, “Be fruitful and multiply!” and it does…all over my driveway and backyard. My sweet gum tree is right over my driveway, and so far this year, I have manually swept my entire driveway at least four times trying to rid it of gumballs. My neighbor (whom I’m always trying to impress) did not believe me when I told her, that already this year, I have cleared the driveway of gumballs many times, so THIS time, I got out my loudest blower. I wanted to make SURE she heard it.
I cannot for the life of me, figure out any good purpose for a gumball, besides to drive me crazy, and tonight that’s just what George W. Bush and his wife Laura did in their interviews with Greta on Fox.
First, let me say this: This nobody does not think these two are together anymore. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Like Bill and Hillary, they make appearances together, but then if you follow them daily, they are almost never together…not even in interviews. George had his interview first. (see here) He said he (meaning we) was going to stay in Afghanistan and save the Afghan women. George Bush is now the new Gloria Steinem…the great feminist himself. Free them from their bondage. It’s a noble cause, and his buddy Karzai is helping him set up programs in his multimillion- dollar global Bush ‘think tank’ enterprise in Texas.
It was heartwarming.
Then Laura came on and told us that economically women HAVE to work over there, otherwise the country cannot become a democracy. They both mentioned Iraq, BUT– they are out to save Afghanistan.
Where’s my blower?
Now, we have Barak Obama, George W. Bush, and Laura Bush, concerned about making democracy in Afghanistan. How George and his wife are going to change thousands of years of fanatical religion is beyond comprehensions. Sure, we’d all love to see it happen, but is that really what our X-President should be doing while we are drowning in debt?
All I can say is, our former President and first lady were blowing holy gumballs of Afganistan concern out of their mouths every other second. It almost makes me feel like making a mock gumball head of thorns to send to them.
I’m sorry. It’s just…all so political, isn’t it?
We are learning…when a President pontificates the most NOBLE of reasons for justifiing fiddling in other nations, there is almost always another reason, which is the real one, which they can’t tell you, so it just makes them look good to make up some humanitarian agenda.
Obama is trying to take credit for sending democracy through Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt. George Bush is trying to tell us that he will be responsible for saving the country of Afghanistan, almost as if he didn’t want to be left out of history…or upstaged.
This nobody says:…Before you go blowing holy gumballs of benevolence, telling us democracy is going to shine in Afghanistan, you guys,…How about saving America first?
Remember…America? Or….have you forgotten her? As I remember…she served you well.
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.
