Nobody’s Perfect: Obama VS James Taylor

Nobody’s Perfect

This week, we have Obama VS James Taylor, a homeless man who was arrested in Florida for getting just a little bit too rowdy after forgetting just how many beers he’s had. Let’s just say, he lost count somewhere between 1 and 45.
HUDSON, Florida (AP) — A man told Pasco County Sheriff’s deputies he had about 10 beers too many as he celebrated his birthday. Fifty-eight-year-old James Taylor says he drank 48 beers on Thursday evening, prompting a stern lecture from a deputy for causing a disturbance at Hudson Beach.
Yes, James Taylor, who is actually better looking than the original so one can only hope he’s not related, got his name on the national news for having a little too much to drink on his birthday.
I know the feeling—it was my birthday yesterday, and I got so tipsy on one Bahama Mama, that I went out and bought a fake Christmas Palm Tree with Christmas lights on it, as a present to myself, just because I have to annoy my neighbors somehow.
 ***
Rum will do that to you. I didn’t have a beach, so I got the next best thing. I now have my own Corona Ad in my Library. Next year, I’ll put in a little kiddie pool.
 ***
(Reader wonders: Is she sober yet?)
 ***
And then, there’s the one man who has the highest running quotient of not being perfect, in fact, this time, we can assume he will never get to that status.
***
Ever.
 ***
Since Obama started bombing Libya, most of the nation are crying, “foul” because he never got permission from Congress. Some at the Pentagon are insisting that he is going against the Constitution.
 ***
To which he said, “Well, I had ten beers too many.”
 ***
Okay, he didn’t say that. But he got his lawyers to say this:
White House counsel, Robert Bauer, and the State Department legal adviser, Harold H. Koh — who argued that the United States military’s activities fell short of “hostilities.” Under that view, Mr. Obama needed no permission from Congress to continue the mission unchanged.
As you can see from the bombing pictures taken in Libya, a bomb is not hostile. It will kill you, but in NO WAY is it hostile.
 ***
Good to know that the winner this week in the   Nobody’s Perfect contest is, once again, our President, who unfortunately, will not be walking on the beach in Hudson Florida, any time soon, but what’s stopping Congress?
 ***
Nobody would love it more, than to see the entire Democratic Members of Congress getting arrested for drinking too many beers on Hudson Beach. After all, if you’re going to be worthless, you might as well get drunk and get out of the way. I suggest…ten Bahama Mama’s, a life jacket, and James Taylor on the IPod. Maybe if I can get them all drunk enough, they’ll follow me into the ocean.
***
Did I just say that? How many beers is that? I’m ten over?

The Big Weiner Is Now…The Little Squirt

Nobody Flashes
Today, was another great moment in American History–it was the day that the Weiner resigned from his job as the fine patriotic and upstanding politician that he was.
Just ask him.
***
He not only brought Americans comic relief in the middle of a great “recession,” but is at this very moment giving the Chinese and Taiwanese jobs making Weiner dolls and Wiener condoms.
***
Nobody is speechless at his ultimate bulge on the American culture, and the brave sacrifice that he made by resigning.
***
And a great bulge it was…just ask him.
***
Yes, forever more, June the 16th will be celebrated as Weiner Day, where Americans everywhere will have hot dogs on toasted buns to honor the man who dared…to be a proud and unrepenting weiner.
***
Although, he will get paid a very handsome pension till he dies, he will not have to resort to working as some lowlife lobbyist, no, he will make millions promoting the Weiner brand.
***
And a great brand it is!
***
So, all hail to the great Weiner! Nobody will be looking for his picture on the Ketchup bottles at my local grocery store.
Forever more, Nobody will think of him not as the big Weiner, but as the little squirt who took his own name much too seriously.

And Now, A Word From Our Sponcer!

Nobody Wonders

Okay, big kid that I am I went to the Zoo. What I noticed is that the only animals that didn’t hide from the people were the monkeys. I did not see Weiner.

Can you guess which picture is my favorite?

Nobody Cares that Nobody Gets Mad

Nobody Cares

Okay, I’ve ranted like never before this week on Obamacare, and I admit, for all the quotes and “reasonable” reasoning…deep down inside, I’m really mad, because nothing effects you like watching those you love suffer from human stupidity and political greed. I’m afraid I’m about fed up with what I’ve witnessed in my own life when it comes to hospitals and medical care.
The years that I took care of both my parents, (they both had stokes) I really couldn’t believe what I saw in the hospitals. I could write a book, and I might.

So many times, I was thinking, they would have gotten better treatment in some South African medical posts. The insanity and the cruelty, yes, was beyond my comprehension. Granted, later I learned that it was the hospital that was the fault. It was the hospital from a Stephen King novel and every single day, I felt like I was walking around in some underground zombie movie. Dog kennels treat their dogs better than some of the stuff I saw.

Now, this if from a patient point of view, I’m sure the doctors and nurses look at it all quite differently, and you really can’t blame them. It’s the “system” that is broken.

And I promise, I will get off this subject. But not before I say this: There are many young people in this country, that are barely making ends meet, and are self-employed as I once was. In other words, they provide some service, pay quarterly taxes, and yet there is no way they can afford medical care. And when the inevitable happens, they are sent big bills that they cannot pay.

My son, who needed insurance, got some on the internet, some that he could afford, and they have refused to pay a dime. He needs back surgery. He’s young…but he can’t get it. They ask him to sign an agreement saying he had no previous conditions in the last five years. He did, it was true. And here’s what they did—.

According to the law, they cannot deny anyone with preconditions. So, what do they do, these scam artists? They make you sign a document claiming no previous condition, or they won’t accept you, and then refuse to pay anything, using that document as their excuse. And due to the fact that  NOBODY KNOWS what any procedure costs, the doctors and hospitals always charge more if you have insurance.

How many young people like my son are in this very sad state? How many people have been bankrupted due to insurance not paying? And do you really think Obamacare will be any better? No. If you are working, but making very little, you are pretty much screwed. If you don’t work, then the world is your oyster. My son works in pain, to pay for illegals that get free care, but can’t afford to get help.

Well, wait till 2014, then he will get help. Will they approve surgery then? How much longer will he have to wait? And you call this health care? He’s a young man. So you see, it’s not all about the old.

I know, I know….life isn’t fair..and I promise to stop bitching about it…it’s just..personal. And I have every right to be mad…we…as a people and a nation, could do so much better. We once did.

IPAB: The Final Solution

Nobody’s Opinion:

Once upon a time, I was a single parent. I had one small boy, and I chose a professions where I could work at night so that I could get up with my son, and be there when he came home from school. I went to work when he was going to bed (thanks to grandparent’s doting love) and I got home at sometimes 3 in the morning, and yet, I was up at six, making breakfast. Even though in my divorce papers, my X was ordered to pay insurance to cover his son, and half all outside medical expenses, I never saw a penny, and nothing short of an expensive lawyer would have solved that. I had a court order for child support, but same thing. The government could have cared less. I was on my own.
***
But back in the 1980’s, a woman could actually get her own affordable medical insurance for herself and her child, so that’s what I did. I had Blue/Cross, and it was very affordable. We had a family doctor who charged twenty dollars a visit, and he would always spend at least fifteen minutes with you. In fact, he took an interest in all of your life, and gave family advice too. At the time, our medical system was not quite yet falling apart.
***
And then, in the 1990’s, along came Hillary Care. I remember hearing about all the HMO’s and how wonderful it was going to be. Why, you would only have to make a small co-payment for every doctor’s visit, isn’t that great? This was the result of all those secret meetings that Hillary held behind closed doors. At the time, we all thought— so? It was called “managed” care, and was thought up during Richard Nixon. And you saw very little anywhere negative about it.
***
Here’s how it worked: a group of doctors will be paid in advance per patient. The less care doctors provide the more money they keep. The bottom line is: doctors lose their money if they see sick patients with problems or order diagnostic tests. So, while we noticed nothing, little by little, America’s once great medical system was being dismantled.
***
And yes, it was great—once.
***
The doctors also had to start paying higher and higher insurance premiums, due to the Clinton’s mighty connection to the lawyers..one of their biggest donor groups next to the NEA.
***
And now, it’s the new century, and the government has passed, without even reading it, in the middle of the night: “Universal Health Care.” It seems there were many factors leading up to this, but the main one is globalization. Long ago, when Medicare was introduced, the idea became popular for companies to provide “medical plans” as incentives when in competition with each other. And now, we compete with all other countries, whose companies do NOT have to provide medical care, because it’s provided by the state. Big, American International companies told the politicians, “Fix this, or else, no more money.” And they did.
***
Common sense says, why not take insurance out of the companies completely, and let insurance companies compete like car insurance? Problem solved. But wait…there are now, 40 million people that don’t even pay taxes, and who don’t have money for insurance (although, they all have big screen TV’s, and cell phones.) Our politicians have encouraged huge invasions of illegal’s and promise all who come here a free lunch, and they get it. They have a plan…it’s in motion, and it’s called: the North American Continent. China has over 4 billion people…we need to catch up.
***
It seems, to other countries, Americans are nuts. It would be inhumane NOT to provide care for the poor. What is never mentioned to those other nations is: no one is turned away from a hospital here. No one. We have been giving out free health care for decades to over 40 million illegal’s, and single moms, who now outnumber married people, at great expense to us all. With the upcoming amnesty, they need more doctors, that will work for LESS…so, the cheaper nurse will take their place.
***
And that’s why my good doctor was crying, her American dream is fading.
First, physicians will be in the future receiving increased competition from these mid-level practitioners who will both suck away the more profitable patient encounters from the physician while diluting reimbursements for all health care providers in general. Curiously, these changes may be most adverse to the primary care doctors rather than the specialist physicians, contrary to the government-speak promoting the role and reimbursement values of those physicians in primary care. The enormous cost and complexity associated with EMR adoption is forcing smaller medical practices to fold, in droves. The adoption of full-fledged meaningful-use compliant EMR system has been estimated at near or over $100,000 per doc in short-tem costs, and of which the governmental handouts will give, at the most. $66,000, if one can actually achieve meaningful use.
Yes, your babies will be delivered at some station down the street, by nurses, god forbid you have a complication. The older doctors will retire. And the great invasion, (come on, Bush, Clinton, and Obama all side with Mexico) will crush any kind of quality care.
***
This isn’t England. We will have 400 million people soon, And we will be 50 percent Spanish by 2050, who will be mostly uneducated. Service jobs will be all they will be capable of. It’s the plan…bring in the babies. I’m convinced this was planned, because, being the book worm that I am, I read that America would become a “service” economy over twenty years ago.
***
Now, you tell me— how could they possibly have known that?
***
I told you in the first essay, “Doctors, The new Endangered Species” that my doctor was crying at the meeting we all attended. Her patients were mostly older people, on Medicare. Medicare is even now, denying for care that has already been rendered. They just say that the physician over-coded the visit. She told us, sometimes, they might pay her 5 dollars, on $150 dollars due. Also: Every 100 claims a doctor sends to an insurance agency: 33 get paid without any issues, 33 get denied for whatever reason the insurance carrier can come up with, and 34 just disappear into thin air.
***
She told us she was being forced by a “third” party, who had basically taken over their private practice. Yes…Obama, the man who wants grandma to just take her pain pill, has nationalized private practices. Doctors no longer work for themselves. They will get screens and orders telling them what to do, and how much they will get paid.
****
Welcome to the club, guys.   
And then, there is the new…IPAB—a group of 15 men, unconstitutionally appointed by the President and designed by Obama and Ezekiel Emanuel.
IPAB is to do this by making “proposals” or “recommendations” to limit costs by limiting reimbursements to doctors. This, inevitably, will limit available treatments — and access to care when physicians leave the Medicare system. Each proposal automatically becomes law unless Congress passes — with a three-fifths supermajority required in the Senate — a measure cutting medical spending as much as the IPAB proposal would….George Will
Nobody Asks—is this the same Universal Health care that is all over the world? Do the old all over the world, when told at 65: you have cancer, and we might be able to cure it, but you must not be selfish, we WILL provide you pain pills. Do they say, “Okay, I’ll die, without a fight?”
***
I can’t figure this out. We have one life to live. Care should be given no matter what age. Even if the care is expensive…that’s what insurance has always been for. This lady explained it well:
Others ideas of end of life care should not be forced on anyone. First of all, this is not about healthcare, it is about power. If you want to end your life rather than fight what is deemed a terminal illness, fine. You go ahead and do that. I prefer to fight…my life may not be valuable to you, but it is to my children. I will never be silent on anything that puts the government in the middle of my medical treatment or that of my family. This man is nothing but pure evil. (Ezekiel Emanuel)
Ditto that.
***
As I was leaving the meeting, the lady next to me said she was in a severe depression. Our doctor had basically told us, she was going to a “concierge” program. If we wanted to continue to see her, it would cost us all from 1500 to 2000 dollars MORE on top of our insurance a year. If we couldn’t come up with the money, she would suggest other physicians. For that money, we would get “preventive” care. She could do this, or retire.
She has been told she must see more people, (?) and she must get rid of the ones she has. Great.
***
We have just been kicked out of our beloved doctors care. It’s not only the doctor who is crying.
***
As for this nobody: I can’t believe this is happing to me. It took me years to find the right doctor, and I know, I will not find another. My health will get worse.  But that’s not upsetting me as much as another result of Obama care:

The Unethical Ethics of Ezekiel Emanuel

Nobody’s Opinion:

The first time I saw Rahm Emanuel was on the Charlie Rose show long before Obama became President.  He was there with his other two brothers, Ezekiel and Ari. It was obvious that these men had known Charlie Rose most of their lives. (Charlie Rose was just at the Bilderberg meeting in Switzerland. ) They were presented as the three geniuses who were going to save the world, and Charlie was proud to have watched their careers. The whole scene was full of jovial fun, as if they all knew what was coming and the part they were going to get to play.
 ****
Their father was a pediatrician in Chicago, and so Ezekiel went into the footsteps of his dad and became a doctor. Ezekiel graduated from Amherst College. He received his Masters from Oxford University, and his M.D. from Harvard Medical School. Sounds great, until you realized that he goes beyond the doctor part, he is now called a Bioethics man. He holds a PhD. in political philosophy from Harvard University . In addition, he once was a fellow in the Program in Ethics and the Profession at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
***
 Harvard: Where our future leaders are trained to control the world, and bioethics gives you a license to play god. Lucky guy. He’s also…gay.
***
All three boys were dragged to one protest after another by their mother, the nurse. You could say, they were trained in the same stomping grounds as Obama. The plan is to introduce socialism first, which has been done already. Read any communist book, and it will tell you, that you have to take capitalism through socialism before you can go the final place to..communism.
 ***
Oh, but it’s all ethically done.
 ***
So, think about that. What are the odds that TWO brothers work with one President so closely? I would go farther and say that Obama could not have even done any of his damage without them. I’m sure Ari helped out too. Many say, that it is Ezekiel Emanuel that designed our Obamacare, especially the part where it is rationed. He has written extensively on the “end of life.”
 ***
If you look at it from their point of view, they see a mess, and they…feel superior. In their minds they are benevolent and omniscient gods. They have decided companies need to get out of the health care business and it should be managed by the state.
 ***
Here’s what they see: 70 million baby boomers coming at them full speed ahead, and there is no money to treat them. The country is broke. The waste and fraud of our politicians have taken money out paycheck after paycheck and spend it elsewhere. TRILLIONS have been lost, or wasted, on foreign wars, social programs, or just plain forgotten. Donald Rumsfeld once admitted that 2.5 trillion Pentagon dollars disappeared. Nobody knows where it went. And that’s just one example. There are literally billions upon billions going to nobody knows where, and nobody is ever brought to light for stealing it. And we are all used to it. Our bookkeepers are right out of the Sopranos.
***
Think, if that money had been put to pay for future Medicare costs, they wouldn’t have to ration “care.”
 ***
If I say that Ezekiel is the next doctor of death, don’t take my word for it: Here are three comments I found on the internet:
***
American should read what this man has written about health care since he is the mastermind behind the government takeover of healthcare. He believes that the elderly should be denied healthcare because the money can be spent elsewhere. He believes that doctors should not follow the Hippocratic oath but should determine the worth of a person and evaluate whether or not they should get treatment. He also believes people with dementia or Alzheimer’s should not be given medical care. These are not his direct quotes but paraphrases of what he has published. You had better read his writings now before the Obama administration hides all the evidence as is their standard practice. This man’s beliefs are dangerous. WAKE UP AMERICA!
 *******
Folks better WAKE UP to THE COLD HARD FACT that Dr. Zeke (Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel) HAS NOT REFUTED BEING QUOTED his effectively stating that in his role as what will be effectively be ‘one of making the decisions’ (the “DECIDER”) when it comes to cutting costs (aka “RATIONING CARE”), that we … should consider withholding medicines that no longer prolong life to seniors unable to make a contribution to society’… (aka “EXTERMINATE THOSE UNABLE TO GENERATE TAXATION REVENUE FOR THE POLITBURO STATIST MACHINE”).
*******
So, Zeke, what you’re recommending is that we “exterminate” seniors in their last year or so of life, simply because they don’t provide a taxable revenue base for you and your comrades-in-hammer-and-swastika to usurp from their bank accounts through the new legislative bill’s provisions for having electronic access to every American citizens bank account (pg. 59 of House Bill #3200). This is kind of like Obama himself saying we should “…think about just giving ’em a pain pill…”, huh?
*******
 See, these people get it. You could argue that taxpayers should pay for Universal Health Care, as they pay for the military, but when you have a panel of people deciding who gets to live, and who gets to die, based on what is “cost effective” to the state, and the state is broke, and doctors have no freedom to practice what they were trained to do, but are told what to do…
 ****
You don’t have universal care, you have…legalized genocide.
 ***
There is nothing ethical about that, Mr. Ethical Emanuel—. It’s called..murder.
 ***
Tomorrow: What many doctors are going to do, and why.

Doctors: The New Endangered Species

Nobody’s Opinion

 Last week, I had gotten a letter from my doctor. In it she said she loved all her great patients, but had something to tell us all. She was giving four upcoming seminars to explain something and please come, because she was going to talk about hormones, and other stuff. I didn’t think much of it, because she was always giving lectures of some kind. So I called my friend Pattie, and said, “Hey, want to go see my doctor talk? “and she said, “Sure!”
 ***
So we went…and that’s where I saw my doctor..cry.
***
But wait, I getting ahead of myself.
***
Let me tell you about my doctor. She’s from India— looks to be in her late twenties, and when I was searching for a new doctor, I saw her name on the provider’s list and I said, “I want her…she’s GOT to be from India,–she will take care of me till I die.” At least, I could hope.
 ***
The first time I walked into her office, I thought she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. I wasn’t expecting that. The only woman who might have held a candle to such natural beauty was Liz Taylor…and I have seen Liz Taylor. I have been many places, and even worked in Playboy Clubs as a drummer, but no, this woman was one of a kind.  In fact I was so stunned to see such beauty that I told her she must have lots of problems with women being jealous, and didn’t people ever say that?  ” Why no,” she said, ” I’m just me!” I could tell she was surprised at the question.
 ***
With that answer I knew instantly that this woman, was full of love for people. Her face just glowed with some kind of inner light (I know that sounds corny but it’s true) and as I looked at her perfectly painted toenails I thought.—wow… that is rare, she must really love her husband to take the time out of her busy doctor day to paint her toenails. It was obvious, She was there to help women. And she was from India,— I’d gotten lucky.
 ***
Yes, and I will pick an Indian doctor over an American every single time, because I remembered one very special Indian doctor who was there for me, once upon a time, when no one else was.
 ***
It was the year 2001, and my mother had just suffered a severe stroke. All three top neurologists at the hospital were insisting that my mother was brain dead. And then– in she came, my Indian doctor: .she was older than everyone there. She walked calmly into my mother’s emergency room. She picked up my mother’s  “good” hand, and asked my mother about ten questions. My mother nodded yes and no, to each one, and then she came back out to that hall and announced with total confidence:
 ***
“She’s not brain-dead. She understands every single word you are saying.”
 ***
The three head neurologists, got really angry and stalked off, and so, because of the truthfulness of that Indian doctor, my brain-dead mother was pronounced “savable” and the journey began, with a long hospital stay, then rehab. You see, my mother was 78 at the time, the expendable age where the cost is not worth the effort.
***
I spent around six months in that hospital, and sometimes I’d run into the good doctor on the elevator, and I would thank her, and she was always nice. In fact, one day, when my mother was screaming from pain and could be heard all over the halls, the Indian doctor was standing behind a nurse’s counter, and some other doctor wondered why I was there, (with a bit of disgust) and the great Indian doctor reprimanded her, and said, “That’s her daughter.” after I had requested some pain medicine. I could tell, she thought highly of me for being there every single day for my mom. From morning till night. I was there.
 ***
She and I understood each other. In fact, I bet she was happy to see some Westerner actually spend every day to help care for a parent. So many of the older patients had little or no visitors at all.
***
Years later I thought about that scene, and I often wondered about why the Indian doctor could see that my mother was not brain-dead and why the three top neurologists claimed she was not. I thought, “Maybe the doctors in India are just better educated.” But, that’s not it. The difference is a cultural one: you see, in India, the elderly are revered— It’s just the opposite in America. Those three American doctors saw a big cost (My mother was on medicare) one that they were not going to get paid for, and the Indian woman saw a life.
 ***
Just recently in India, the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Bill passed. If you do not take care of your parents, you could go to jail for up to three months, or be fined. Also, the will made by the parents could be revoked. There is also jail term for abuse of the old as well. If that law passed here, all of those who voted for Obamacare would go to jail. And trust, me, I would be first in line to demand it.
 ***
That’s part of the reason my doctor was crying. Most of the woman at the seminar were older, even elderly. Here was a woman of heart and spiritt, whose whole life had been passionately bent to helping all of her patients feel better, from a culure where the old were respected, and now, our government had cut her spirit to the bone. She can no longer take care of them.
 ***
Our government is now taking over private medical practices, and she had to make a choice, (I’ll expalin this in the next blogs) which why to go? She didn’t want to quit, but had thought about it. As we all sat and watched her anguish, our own thoughts came into our heads? Who will take care of us now? All of us, LOVE our doctor. And why was this happening? Some law? She was going to a concierge program. She was forced into this.
 ***
And how did this happen again?
 ***
In the next two blogs, I’ll explain, because America should know: Your doctor is soon to become an endangered spices, and if you think I’m kidding, you have not met Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel.
 ***
Dr. Mengele, move over.
 ***
Tomorrow: The Emanuel brother from hell.

Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation’s history. Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane, 27 times faster, it would be doing 1755 MPH!

Sarah Palin Catches Revealing Obama Email

                            Nobody Wonders
Since the New York Times has found fit to examined over 24,000 emails that Sarah Palin sent when she was governor and show them to the world,—tell me, why stop with Sarah? How about Barney Franks emails? Nancy Pelosi’s? Let’s see them ALL! Why is it okay for one politician and not for the rest? Did Weiner upset them all that much?
 ***
If I was Sarah, I’d be laughing, and insisting on opening up every one’s, including Barack’s.
***
As you can see, this was sent yesterday, by the White House, from Barack, to his buddy in the Middle East….caught in Cyberspace and posted on Facebook.
***
Okay, I made that last line up. But it looks real to me…don’t you think? I think Sarah agrees, she’s winking at me.

Nobody Discusses Hot Dogs

Nobody Flashes:

There is a new popular posting going around all the famous blog sites. If the writers don’t have any time to write, they introduce a few subjects and say, “Go ahead and discuss amoung yourselves…I’ll be back tomorrow.”

Well, I’ve decided to get in on this exciting new habit. So…

Here is a wiener. Discuss it among yourselves and have a nice day! (I just HAD to do this since I usually only have one or two comments…just couldn’t resist. In fact, I’ll start it off.)

Hot dogs should never be underestimated. Perhaps there IS a difference between a hot dog, and a weiner. Exactly what is IN a hot dog? Are they worth even posting pictures of? Has ketchup ever been put on a Weiner? What was the biggest hot dog on record?

Go ahead…take it!

The Omniscient Jim Rogers

Nobody Knows:

What did I learn today? I have to learn Chinese….or Portuguese. I’m having a hard time deciding at the moment what Rosetta Stone to buy. So says some man who actually ALMOST took representative Hot Dog Weiner off the headlines today.
And why is that? So when the Chinese take over, I will not have to be at the bottom of the sweat shop, but will get a job ORDERING the grunts around.

Seriously. As you can see from my picture, I’m not really up to it.

And why do we have to learn another language again? Because the dollar is going to collapse, and not get up.

Today, Glenn Beck bought a guest on his show, who came all the way over from his home in Singapore. (An American, who prefers China) I think it was really sweet of him to come all this way to give us his opinion…yes that the dollar will be gone soon. The United States has the biggest debt in the history of planet earth. All our money will be worthless. Get ready for the riots.

I…am ready. I have wasp spray. Maybe the can is a little big, but I’m ready.

This wisdom was coming from a man, a well respected man, who’s daughters both speak Chinese, because he basically believes that we are, as a country—through. I’m not sure what his point was: to scare us into getting ready for the invasions or just to entertain. Here was man who could care less about America. Everything to him is dollars and cents. No thoughts of liberty, freedom, and American creativity. Nope. Just those mathematical facts. A hard, cold, and calculating man. A man who never wanted children,(because they’re expensive) but once he had them he thought they were a delight.
For that, we should think he’s smart? He had to HAVE children before he found out what a joy they are?

Maybe he should try loving America, he might find also find it worth his while.

I’m sorry, people like this really get me mad. They have made lots of money, and well, the rest of the world be damned, because they have so much money they can live wherever they want. What advice did he give? Take your money out of your 401 K’s and put it all in your local bank.

Oh right, trust your bank. Yeah, I’ll do that.

His name is Jim Rogers, he’s an international investor, and Beck was not the only program he was on. He was all over the internet:

“The debt that are in this country are skyrocketing,” he said. “In the last three years the government has spent staggering amounts of money and the Federal Reserve is taking on staggering amounts of debt. He called Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke a “disaster” who had “never been right about anything since he’s been in Washington. The only thing he knows is to print money.”

Well said, but, that’s where his “wisdom” ends. Bean counters tend to have a lot of trouble with the bigger picture. Did it ever occur to this guy that the spending in Washington was on purpose? NO, he thinks they mean will, they’re just stupid.

But did he stop there? No…he went on.

He talked about how someday soon there will be no more farmers to grow food and food will be hard to come by. Our food inventory is way down now. So, if our government knows this– food is already in short supply, why in the bloody hell did they purposely flood the middle of the country where the food was growing? This man had no clue. They are just stupid.

Deep thinker this guy.

Yes, Jim Rogers came in out of the blue and somehow, took over the news like a comet, and cut the Weiner in half.

Come on…somebody tell me: Why are they keeping the Weiner story alive? I had to laugh at Glenn Beck, because he was on his TV talking about how Weiner was taking our eyes off the very dangerous things happening all around us, and yet, if you turned to his website, THE BLAZE, Wiener stories were all over it.

So, I suggest looking at the big picture….we now find out Weiner is connected to the Clintons. Mmmmm: A Jewish man with a Muslim wife, who works for Hillary Clinton. Come on…what are
the odds that he would be right in the middle of a big sex scandal?

This must be the new thing…Jews marring Muslims. I can’t wait for the TV sitcom: All In the Family of Bernie Mohammed.

And all this happening at the same time that the Bilderberg masters are meeting— the news comes out that Hillary is being considered for the head of the world bank. Do we really want to have someone like Hillary, who is close friends and supported by George Soros, the man whose driving ambition is to destroy the dollar.. in control of our money?

Wait. She IS in control of our money. She will then be in control of the world’s money! That’s better than being President!

They are destroying the United States (and not doing a bad job in the Middle East) while we talk about Wieners. It’s a planned destruction, and another sex distraction to keep our minds and media occupied.. Soros has admitted to trying that very thing. And didn’t Wall Street, and Barney Frank, and Goldman Sacks all get together and decide they would grab as much money as they could before they did it?

You don’t have to speak Chinese to see that.

Believe in conspiracy theories or not, somewhere in a Swiss hotel, the richest and most powerful people in the world are striking matches to Cuban cigars and saying, “Burn baby burn.” And Jim Rogers is on his way BACK to the land he loves.

He might be a smart man, but he is no American. He is a global elite, patriotic to no land.  Nobody hopes he stays there.

Trump’s New Plane VS The Nightwatch, Which would YOU Choose?

Nobody Flashes

Once upon a time, I wanted to be a pilot. The closest I got was an interview as an airline stewardess, which I flunked because I said, “Doesn’t the stewardess have to learn a little bit about flying just in case the pilot has a heart attack?” I’m sure I had that “I’m so excited at just the thought that my eyes pupils have dilated at least 50 centimeters!”

Okay, I was sixteen, but I figured it was worth a try.

Today, I found out that there is not only an Air Force One, but another plane (747), called the Nightwatch, where the Secretary of Defense rides around with all the right buttons to push in case we have a nuclear attack. Actually, I thought our policy was NOT to strike back if attacked,  thanks to Bill Clinton, but then again maybe they changed their minds, and decided just ignore that little piece of insanity.

And since we are talking about planes, check out Donald Trump’s new prize, which he bought from Paul Allen for a mere $100,000.

If I had to pick between the two, which would I pick? Ah….the one that contained the most men of course! If you’ve seen one big screen, you’ve seen em’ all.

(Sorry, I am just NOT going to talk about much till Weiner goes and has his baby.)

Nobody Loves Larry the Cable Guy

Nobody’s Fool
 ***
America, this is an alert.
 ***
If you have been watching Bill Maher, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and are just about as burnt out as I am, there is an alternative…Larry the Cable Guy.
 ***
This is a no-brianer folks. I must admit, I have never missed a Glenn Beck program, but today, just because I had to sit by the phone waiting for a call, (for four hours) I starting watching Larry the Cable Guy in his new, Only In America program on the History Channel. Larry is a man that Bill Maher wouldn’t even bring himself to walk on the same sidewalk with. He is the fly-over redneck that every liberal in the world wouldn’t be caught dead with.
***
Now…I’ve learned a lot from Glenn,  but for all his wonderful lessons on the founders and the sad state of our affairs, he leaves us with little hope…he’s great, but I feel like having a tequila afterwards. I’m always talking to the TV and saying, “Sure, I’ll stock up on food when I get the MONEY to stock up on food Glenn, but this week’s grocery bill won’t let me.”
***
Larry’s program does just the opposite –it lifts you up high…and I was trying to figure out why. Why do I not feel any hope when watching Glenn, and loads of it when I was watching Larry?
***
I think it’s because Glenn, shows off…Glenn. Larry, shows us…ourselves, and our history. Yeah, I know, Glenn teaches us that too, but Larry lets the American people tell us. and it just sticks more.  Larry praises EVERYTHING good about America, down to its last greasy spoonful of corn dogs at the Texas State Fair. He is showing us why we should try to preserve it. He gives us stuff we know is there, but forget. Yes, Larry is doing something that no other person is doing. Sure, it’s been done before, but not by one of us. It was always by some elite, who looks down on the American people as some kind of bug to be examined.
 ***
Larry is the working man. He is taking us all on a trip around America and showing us…ourselves. The families, the businesses, and the true American spirit that is still out there. He follows people around in their jobs. While watching his show today, I learned how to catch a croc, how to ice fish, how they make fireworks, and how at some hospital in America, the black janitors SING to the patients, and the little newborn babies when they’re leaving.
 ***
Larry takes us along while he gets haircut from a nun at a minor league game. Sure, there are some off colored jokes, but it’s all in good fun. It’s the old American humor where you can make fun of anyone and it’s a bonding experience because no one takes it seriously. Old ladies and old guys are put on camera…respect given to them all. When was the last time you saw that?
***
And in this world where men can be fired for making a joke about their testitcles, Larry’s jokes are a refreshing change, where women know it’s all in good fun. Larry lets the guys be guys, and you know, the sex jokes are really funny.
 ***
After watching Larry today, I swear, if I had one day to live in my life and I had to make a choice as to who I would spent it with…Glenn Beck or Larry the Cable Guy, I’d be eating watermelon with Larry and seeing who could spit the seeds into the can the quickest. Sarah Palin ought to put him on her road show.
 ***
Larry is Nobody’s Fool. He has found a way to tell a good joke, and deliver us back to having faith in our heritage, our people and our history at the same time, because we all know, the television never shows us…ourselves. The elites are embarressed by a man who can kill a deer and make a jacket out of it’s hide. That’s how dumb they are. And that’s why they keep the independent American off.
***
So, Larry…if you’re listening..”GET IT DONE BOY!” Nobody loves ya!
***
Nobody Says: Hey, Bill Maher, Larry new program is eating you for lunch! What’ s that? You’re giving me the finger? You giving AMERICA the finger? Why don’t you move somewhere less…American.
***
Somewhere…like France.

Remember D-Day— You Weiner!

Nobody Reports

D-Day is almost over with, and what are we talking about? Can you say…hot dog? The LAST thing I wanted to hear on D-Day was a confession of a Weiner man. So, how do I fight this lame depression on this day of complete disrespect for our country’s finest? I mean, really, couldn’t he have waited at LEAST one day?

I post a bit of truth and humor. (thanks to amfortas)

In light of the dispatching of Osama Bin Laden:

ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2011 EUROPE: BY JOHN CLEESE (or at lease attributed to him, though I have my doubts. I have added America)

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Libya and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from… “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled. BYO Four X.” So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

America has moved down from their third stage, “Brother can you lend me your Country” to “I have a big stick so hand over your Wallet”. The lowest level of “Stop whining and buy the damned coffee” has not been heard since Henry Kissinger’s day. The two high level States are a State Secret but are rumoured to be “ Obama wants YOU” and “Oprah has needs”
