When In Rome, Get In Your IPod
Nobody Reports that Nobody Reads!
Here are a few intersting items I found in my reading today:
In Bushworld, Maureen Dowd complained about Dick Cheney and President Bush…hiding things.
“The vice president and president are really concerned about the privacy of power. They want to do, and be accountable to no one. The theme of Bush I is now the them of Bush II: Trust us, even if we won’t let you verify. we know we’re right . We answer to no one. “
That sentence could very well have been written about Barack Obama and his administration. “We have to pass the bill so we can read it.”
Has Maureen figured out by now that the democrats rule the same way?
Has a pigmy ever won a Pultizer?

In What Life Was Like When Rome Ruled the World I found this:
The Roman historian Livy said Rome was a “free nation, governed by annually elected officers of state and subject not to the caprice of individual men, but to the overriding authority of law.” The Romans codified their young “republic” around 430 BC in the Twelve Tables.
Now, this was not exactly a “republic” because only the wealthy patricians could vote and be elected. The common man (plebeians) did not have a say. And when the Roman elites sent the poor plebeians to fight the war in Carthage (Africa) it got sticky.
“Plebeians burdened by debt and lenglthy military service were losing their land to patricians who profited by the labor of slaves taken in battle”
So…history shows that the patricians and the plebeians are still in the exact same place. Even in the “republic” of China.
Nobody also likes this:….a speaker system for $100, 000. and a clever IPOD that you can climb into when the next flood comes. That’s only $3,900.
Now, how to get that stereo into that IPOD….Nobody is working on it.
More Words From Ronald Reagan
Nobody Flashes—
When Ronald Reagan was asked about the “lack” of control in Hollywood, he had this to say:
“In those pre-war days we had the contract system. The studios employed not only stars and writers and directors on a permanent basis, but all kinds of technicians, so there was a stability to the business. Today it’s a hungry scramble. Now it’s a case of everybody waiting for the phone to ring to get a job.”
The key word here: stability.
There is no such thing anymore.
Who’s Got the Most Inebriated Drunks? Britain or the USA?
Nobody’s Perfect
Today, after I saw these pictures, I decided that we really need to discuss who can get drunk with more audacity: The kids in the United States, or the kids in Great Britain?
This is really going to be a close call, because you see, despite the pictures that you see of these fine young women who passed out on the streets in Cardiff, England..I think the real reason they fall down is —-those shoes.
American women are much more sensible. When they get drunk, they take OFF their shoes before they fall over. And they also have the common courtesy to not wear underwear. Usually, they don’t stay in the street when they can’t stand up. NO…in America, they go to McDonalds and I-Hop to pass out. They welcome drunks there with open arms, because drunks are usually not paying attention.
Waitress: “Uh…here’s your bill.”
Drunk: “I ordered two hundred dollars worth of food?”
Waitress: “Yep.”
Drunk: “Oh nooooo…here’s my card.”
Yes, they love them.
Does England have a 24-hour breakfast restaurant to go and vomit in? NO…the poor drunk people in England have to sit among the trash to vomit and sober up. American kids vomit in their cars!
It’s another public service we are good at.
Having said that: I know, soccer matches in England are notorious for drunken rivals pouring out of the games and vandalizing whatever gets in their way, but the American men, do NOT wander around…and fight..oh no.They are much smarter. They find the nearest toilet, or table, and sit or “lay” till morning. If they are in a bar, they just pass out on the floor.
If a man passes out in a bar in America their friends will be very careful to step over them on the way to the dance floor…so as not to disturb their slumber. We are…after all, a compassionate people.
Americans are very smart: We have drinking festivals, just like the Germans. Mardi Gras is the place to go to get smashed. There are so many people in the street that it’s impossible to pass out. The person next to you will hold you up just because—he can’t move either. You could not fall down if you tried.
And drunk women in America, will not only take off their big high heeled shoes, they will take off their tops…just ask them!
The real reason that Americans have such an advantage over the Brits is that when it comes to getting drunk, we have got it down to a real actual college course: “Drink till you Drop” 101. This course has been passed by every freshman since the boys at Harvard starting getting drunk and going naked. At Harvard, Drinking has been evolved into a very fine art.
Over the years fraternities have perfected: “Get In the Bathtub” fruit punch, the “Knock her out” fruit punch, the “Alpha Pi Me” fruit punch” and the “Final Exam” fruit punch” The last being the most popular so that when you flunk your exams you have a good excuse.
Most college grads in America know how to pour every alcohol beverage ever made into a bathtub and comatose at least 50 people at once. The recipe to Purple Passion has been more guarded than the formula to Coca Cola.
Let the Chinese beat us in math. WE have drinking games! Our young people do “shots” games, and many try to pass out from the sheer fun of having someone pour vodka down their throats. American parents actually give beer parties and “watch” their kids pour beer down their throats till they pass out. It’s the least they can do for the little darlings.
Yes, American parents are keeping the high school drunks off the streets until they go to college, where they will have safe dorm rooms to pass out in. Love goes a long way.
But…there is one thing that even this Nobody has no way of measuring properly. Who urinates in the street more after a sporting event: The USA or England?
That’s another lovely side effect of drinking: alcohol usually exits when you least expect it to.
I don’t mean to brag, but every night across America, at sports stadium in every city, the men come out, and piss wherever they can find a spot. Most of the time, on someone else’s car. There is no way that England can beat the drunk Americans in using the ground as their public toilet.
OR…can they?
Having said that: We MUST give the British credit for one thing: How to get drunk and go rousing the storefronts.
Yes, now we have the American black teenagers doing the “flash mobs” going into local mini marts and stealing whatever they want. and most of these people are …
Dare I say it? Sober.
Pathetic. We will lose our edge if we keep this sober business up.
But, have faith— Americans are trying very hard to make soccer matches popular her in the states. And if that happens, the Brits might as well move here, because they will never beat us at getting sloppily drunk and falling over at the nearest sidewalk.
(Nobody Does NOT make this pitiful stuff up, but she certainly can make fun of it. Be glad I didn’t write a serious piece about this…You might have to go have a drink.)— (thanks to amfortas)
Nobody’s Perfect, but four more years of Obama, and I expect more of the same.
Roseanne Barr Wants to Behead the Rich, Forget the Taxes!
Roseanne Barr: Behead Bankers, Rich Who Won’t Give Up Wealth.
Nobody’s Opinion
The big new is money. Money that some have, money that others don’t have. And the problem is the really big money truly is at the top. Everyone knows it. If you are Libertarian: then it’s the Fed’s fault. If you are a Republican: then it’s Obama’s fault for putting us trillions more in debt: If you’re a Democrat, then its Wall Street that did it.
Doesn’t matter who did it. Odds are– all of the above is the answer. And what many of the people all over the world are extremely mad about is: their present and future has been stolen in some kind of gigantic super stealth, well-planned gigantic global heist-fest. Globalization has attached everyone to everyone else, and when one falls, everyone goes down.
Those in the upper class have the lifeboats. 
Whoever thought of this play-manual, had holes in his head, and gold in his teeth.
No one is spending. And the whole world depends on it.
All the economists say we are headed for high inflation, and riots, and because we have a Democrat in the White House, a Marxist by all admissions: he is encouraging riots all over the world.
There are riots being fanned by an Anonymous V-Mask on YOUTUBE…by of course, Obama and his teams, who wants to tax the rich. For all those desperate college students, and laid off teachers, it seems like the only “fair” thing to do.
I thought we were over the ‘hippie” stage, but look at any of the riot videos, and it’s like the sixties all over again.
So, in order to punch up the riot scene, Obama’s supports are not only suggesting canceling elections, they are suggestion…are you ready for some work, drug lords?
The guillotine. 
Nobody’s Perfect: Yes, Rosanne Barr, who is running for both President of the United States and Israel, wants to put the CEO’s of Wall Street on the guillotine, and start a world French Revolution. (see video above link) That woman has not been the same since Tom Arnold left, after she gave the vagina finger to our National Anthem at Dodgers Stadium. 
Can you imagine Sara Palin saying this? Rosanne must have lost a lot of money in the market…poor thing. I think she should join the Taliban and get some practice first.
Nobody Cares: Yale is doing economic research with Capuchins Monkeys. They have taught them to use money to buy their food and found out Monkeys don’t save, they spend all their “cash” at once, and there is spontaneous evidence of larceny.
“They would rip off the tokens form each other and use at every opportunity” –Mental Floss
Their findings they conclude, point to genetic human behavior that spans back 35 million years.
Practice make perfect!
Nobody Knows: They are blaming Wal-Mart for the new debit charge at Bank of America. Wal-Mart lobbied Congress (with some other companies) to get rid of the stores paying a fee for the use of cards;
Bank of America has switched to the model they find second best. If they can’t make the stores cover the costs of debit cards, make the consumers pay a share.
Nobody Thinks that Wal-Mart will someday be the baggiest bank in the world. Will we someday see Michelle Obama shopping at Wal-Mart? I think I’ll send her some of my Wall Martian videos. Those people really NEED a loan. 
Nobody Wins: And with economic depressions– you have a run of suicides. Two men are in the news for killing themselves. Patrick Graves lost his job at Goodrich, and Richard Donoghue killed himself after Oprah Winfrey promised him $25,000 dollars for his house (she was going to give it to a disabled person) and then, she didn’t give it to him.
I guess he wasn’t disabled enough.
The experts are rushing to say. “Well, they suffered from depression anyway!”
Gee. That explains it.
Nobody Flashes: The mobs are in every city now, and in a Pivan Cocktail moment of excitement, they want to use violence.
Here’s a quote from a participant.
“A government is an entity which holds the monopolistic right to initiate force,”
“This seems a little ironic when protesters complain about being physically assaulted by police in the same breath.”
Nobody Wonders: So, if the tea party was violent, (according to our Homeland Security) then what do we call people who want the government to use “force” and behead people. Liberating Henchmen?
Nobody Fool: Remember, Ross Perot warned us that this would happen.
Nobody Remembers: History records that in 1913 President Woodrow Wilson approved the Federal Reserve Act but later reflected that his actions “unwittingly ruined my country.”
Wilson also said that since the U.S. system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few, “We have become … one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world.”
Nobody Reports: Well, he started this mess, which proves once these idiots called “our leaders” around the world, figure out that they really screwed up, it will be too late.
The riots will continue, it’s all about the money. Obviously, the monkeys are running the world.
Martha Raye VS Sean Penn
Nobody Gets Email
Nobody Knows…
This lady lived probably before most of my readers time: BUT, if you ever watch the old movie channels you will recognize this woman. Her name was Martha Raye. After you read this, and you think about the movie stars in our generation, you will wonder like me: WHAT happened to them? For instance: Here we see Sean Penn holding the Egyptian flag, supporting the revolution…in EGYPT. Most of them are anti-American. (Thanks to Tom Beebe)

This is a great story about a great woman. I was unaware of her credentials or where she is buried. Most of the old time entertainers were made out of a lot sterner stuff than today’s crop of activists and whiners. The following is from an Army Aviator who takes a trip down memory lane:
It was just before Thanksgiving ’67 and we were ferrying dead and wounded from a large GRF west of Pleiku. We had run out of body bags by noon, so the Hook ( CH-47 CHINOOK) was pretty rough in the back. All of a sudden, we heard a ‘take-charge’ woman’s voice in the rear.
There was the singer and actress, Martha Raye, with a SF ( Special Forces) beret and jungle fatigues, with subdued markings, helping the wounded into the Chinook, and carrying the dead aboard. ‘Maggie’ had been visiting her SF ‘heroes’ out ‘west’.
We took off, short of fuel, and headed to the USAF hospital pad at Pleiku. As we all started unloading our sad pax’s, a ‘Smart Ass’ USAF Captain said to Martha…. Ms Ray, with all these dead and wounded to process, there would not be time for your show!
To all of our surprise, she pulled on her right collar and said…..Captain, see this eagle? I am a full ‘Bird’ in the US Army Reserve, and on this is a ‘Caduceus’ which means I am a Nurse, with a surgical specialty….now, take me to your wounded. He said, yes mam’…. Follow me.Several times at the Army Field Hospital in Pleiku, she would ‘cover’ a surgical shift, giving a nurse a well-deserved break.
Martha is the only woman buried in the SF (Special Forces) cemetery at Ft. Bragg . 
Some People Can Sing: Some People Just Can’t

If you have ever tried to sing, (and I somehow used to make a living at it) you will appreciate the fine talent that all three of these kids have. Their harmonies remind me of the Lennon Sisters who use to sing on Lawrence Welk many years ago…
Of COURSE I wasn’t born yet! What…did you think I was THAT old! Are you kidding? Me?
Hey, if you remember “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” by the Stones, you would do well to look in the mirror.
Somewhere some parents can be very proud.

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
