The Highest Honor…
Nobody Gets Email
Here’s a little something hardly any of us know, and even the contestants on Jeopardy missed it. I had no idea…
God Bless our Soldiers.
(Thanks to Tom Beebe)

The question on Jeopardy was:
1. “How many steps does a guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns? “
Answer: 21 steps, it alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.
2. “How long does he hesitate after his about-fact to begin his return walk, and why?”
Answer: 21 seconds, for the same reason as the answer above.
3. “Why are his gloves wet?”
Answer: His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle.
4. “Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time, and if not, why not?”
Answer: He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about-face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.
5. “How often are the guards changed?”
Answer: Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty four hours a day, 365 days a year. 
6. “What are the physical traits of the guard limited to?”
Answer: For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5’10” and 6’2″ tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30.
They must commit two years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives, and cannot disgrace the uniform or the Tomb in any way. After two years the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the Tomb. There are only 400 presently worn.
The shoes are specially made with very thick souls to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. There are no winkles, folds, or lint on the uniforms. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror.
The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone or watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in the Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe Lewis (the boxer), and Medal of Honor winner Audie L. Murphy, the most decorated soldier of WWII and Hollywood fame.
Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniform ready for guard.
In 2003, as Hurricane Isabelle was approached Washington D.C., our U.S. Senate/House took two days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. Respectfully declined the offer:
“NO WAY SIR!”
Soaked to the skin in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that could be afforded to a service person. The Tomb has been patrolled continuously 24/7 since 1930.
Now…you know, and so do I. 
How About Another Lottery, Obama? Lunch on the Moon!
Nobody’s Fool
You have to hand it to the Obama reelection camp. Votes are important, and the Obama’s don’t want to make the little guy feel left out. They know, the nobodies on the street can’t afford to go to his lavish parties, where he can demand up to $40,000 for just one ticket. That’s more than some of them make in a year.
So, they gave the poor..a ‘Win lunch with the President Lottery!” Even if they sold 5 million tickets at $3 dollars apiece that’s $15 million just for Obama.Yes, for a $3 dollar lottery ticket you COULD win a spot to have lunch with the President. 
Remember that when you buy a ticket to a lottery, you are under the impression that the tickets are picked by RANDOM…and you have just as much a chance of winning as anyone else right?
Obama’s campaign said the lunch bunch was made up of Kathie Toigo, an early-childhood special needs teacher from Yerington, Nev.; Bill Blackwelder, an Afghanistan war veteran from Fayetteville, N.C.; Val Grossman, a postal worker from Westminster, Colo.; and Scott Zoebisch, a firefighter from Atlanta.
Mmmmm….
What are the odds that a teacher, a war veteran from NC no doubt, (an important state in the election) a postal worker, and a firefighter all got picked? Postal workers are losing their jobs: Teachers and firefighters are very much union supporters: and a war veteran? For some reason he is after the veterans vote big time.
What? Nobody from Watts? Nobody from Alaska? Nobody from my neighborhood in North County St. Louis? What if Warren Buffet bought a ticket, and actually won?
What a scam. A smart scam, actually. Obviously, those people were hand picked. Just another way to steal people’s money and make himself look good.
Nobody thinks Obama needs to throw one more lottery. I suggest, for the price of a $10 dollar ticket, one 99% person will be picked to have lunch with the President, on the space station. (see picture) Russia is charging $20 million per person, and if he sells just 5 million that should just about cover it…(one way)
And while America is coming up to possessing a $16 trillion dollar deficit, Obama figures he can’t lose if he promises not only free lunches for the kids, but a pay increase for civilian federal employees as part of his 2013 budget, which will be…the FIRST budget Obama has ever even thought about, let alone submitted since he was elected the first time. But you have to elect him first.
The Ying Thoughts of the Reincarnated Squirrel
Nobody Wonders
The concept of reincarnation has always been a hard one for me. So has the Big Bang. If we base observations of what we know to be true all around us, then the Big Bang had to have a mother. If reincarnation means the invisible soul is put back into embryo’s to further life’s lessons then at this very moment you are reading the words of the soul of a past squirrel.
Why do I think I was a squirrel? Because I spent my childhood at the top of trees. As soon as I learned how to climb I was up in a tree—sitting like an old Buddha. Soulfully content to feel the breeze at the top of my little world, and be happy to be alone.
Escaping from muttering parents and wacko brothers and sisters when you’re a kid gives— you power. It’s one of the reasons Presidents do NOT want to give up Air Force One.
Anyway, the reason I’m talking about this, is that I was just reading about the art of past civilizations: the symbols always contains opposites…female vs. male, ying vs. yang, good vs. evil. ( rich vs. poor) But, most importantly, almost every culture believed in an afterlife. The Pharaohs believed that dung beetles gave you eternal life, and filled their tombs with them. If a beetle can live forever then so can a man..right? 
So, what is it about humans that convince almost every single culture on the earth, that there is a life after death? Almost every animal on earth dies. Why does man think he’s so special?
I was thinking today about my childhood, and remembered something. I grew up in Florida, where the pine trees were perfect climbing apparatuses for small children. The limbs are placed steps apart all the way up to the top. And pine tress…never lose their leaves. To me, those trees were like me. All young. Living forever. Only a fire, or a hurricane could destroy them.
When my parents moved the family to St. Louis, I was around seventeen. I had never seen a tree lose its leaves, nor had I ever been taught in my school in Naples, that trees lose their leaves. That’s how bad science was even then.
And when fall came and it started happening…the leaves starting turning colors and falling off. Due to the fact that I was the only one in the whole world who didn’t have clue about it, I said nothing. I knew just by the actions of those around me, it must have been normal. But…the event upset me deeply inside. By the time all the leaves were gone…I was devastated. Let’s just say, it left me with a sadness all winter. (Science will tell you I have an overactive amygdule, but I digress.) 
I’m not saying there wasn’t a lot of sun depravation going on at the same time, effecting my serotonins levels, and my blossoming hormonal balance…estrogen flowing through my body…but…let’s just say, that after that first year, when I saw the trees come back in spring, I was overjoyed.
Okay Joyanna get to the point.
The cycles of life. We are so immersed in them, we don’t think about them. But…maybe those first humans witnessed the same things. Some things didn’t die! This theory is a bit flimsy in Egypt mind you..they just had beetles, but whenever something in nature seems to die and come back miraculously, why wouldn’t humans think that they would do the same?
Just like the tree…we can come back…live on…in some way. Grow new leaves. Live another day. Energy withstanding. I’m speaking from the minds of ignorance, mind you, but there might be something to it…more than just a wish not to die.
We got many of our “we will live on” from the nature around us.
Now…since this rant is absolutely idiotic, remember that today, Richard Hawkins, the famous man who worked out lots of that very confusing Big Bang theory has just announced he has no clue about the mystery of women. He might be wrong about the Big Bang theory, but I’m a woman, and I was thinking this just the last minute, and so…you might conclude with him at the end of this “maybe?” rant that he is perfectly right.
Women are not meant to be understood, and neither is life after death.
But, the yin and the yang will someday figure it out together. And if you go by the book The Bell Curve, they will both be Jewish.
I can’t wait.
McCain and Romney? Double Facepalm.
Nobody Wins
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan was right. As you see by this video, the bloodline of McCain is already cursed. I’m convinced, the McCain’s come from a long line of some kind of very dimwitted vampires, hatched in Ireland under a full moon, by a banshee from dribble land. John McCain, Meghan’s most famous father, as a politician, is an embarrassment to every conservative who has ever admired Ronald Reagan. This McCain habit of being the not- so- pretty dull penny in the pot, seems to run in the family. John is more than a Rhino…he’s a elephant on roller skates.
Wait, I would NOT insult am elephant like that. I take that back.
If not for Sarah Palin, McCain wouldn’t have even come in second in the last election: More like..fifty third. In fact, Sarah Palin SAVED the Republican party. They used her. We all knew it.
And today, there they were: Mr. Mt. Olympus and Crimpy.
John McCain was giving a big stump speech for Mitt Romney and I couldn’t even watch it. What in the world were they thinking? Get the loser of the last election to endorse you?
Rule No. One: Never, ever, under any circumstances get the last loser of the race to endorse you, because everyone will think that you have the same ideas as THAT loser and YOU will lose.
Duh. (But not as “duh” as letting the daughter of that loser appear on your enemies networks)
Obama is out playing football in the sand, posing his body, teasing the liberal media pundits into going, “Oh..he is just in such good condition!” while we are watching old guys with bad hair lines trying to get us excited.
BUT, as out-of-style these two old coots seem at the moment, Mitt and John would never say they would slit their wrists to make a point.
Meghan McCain did. Just listen to her talk—She talks like she is…10. Okay, 11. Wait…five. Brain cells were falling out all over the floor in this video. The liberals are looking at this girl, and going, “I like her!”
Yes, she said she would just slit her wrists if her father had endorsed Rick Santorum. She also called him a moron.
Mmmmmm…I LOVE to go there, but I will not lower myself, out of respect for all the depressed people out there who actually are watching this all go down and really might be smart enough to accomplish that feat.
I was double facepalming it all day watching TV. 
While Fox had Mitt and John hanging out like lost sweethearts, Sheppard Smith was ranting about the fact that Rick Santorin said the word, “black” in a sentence. He implied with the shocked look on his fact that saying the word ‘black’ was a horrible mistake. Later Rick denied it, so as not to appear racist.
It was such a blatent and ridiculous attack on nothing that I turned to my husband and said, “So, what do we call them now?”
Affirmative Action Animals? American Harvard Recruits? Welfare Welts? AfroAmerio’s? Bereaved Bestials? Obama’s Osmosis?
FOX took sides today. It was tear down Rick Santorum and full steam ahead for Mitt. Mitt is the favorite of the Feds, and the elite’s that run the Republican party. He’s their guy. Always has been. He will keep the global train on track.
And YOU thought you picked the President? Have another cookie!
I’m starting to think legalizing drugs might be a good idea after all…
Double Facepalm.
Product Placement: Political Power Prevails
Nobody Cares–
–That I was bored of politics yesterday and watched this little documentary. I many never drink Coke again…and I’ll tell you in a minute about that.
The guy that made this movie, (forgive me if don’t I tell you– I REALLY don’t want to remember his name) reminds me of my next door neighbor. He always borrows my lawn tools and forgets to give them back. Only in America can a guy make a movie about getting major corporations to give him thousands of dollars to put their products IN the movie, which is about him getting $1.5 million dollars to make what is basically—just a big advertisement for their products.
After it was done, I had to think: Now, what did I learn? 
1. POM (the major sponsor) is good for men’s erections. (Yes, that was the big one.)
2. Product placement in movies can sometimes help carry the cost when the budgets are so big.
3. Advertising is almost never honest.
4.. Quentin Tarantino has a hard time getting ANY major spongers.
5. Even Ralph Nader is a sucker for free stuff, bribes, and payoffs.
6. If you just even LOOK at the logo of Coca Cola, your endorphins in your brain will shoot sky high, you will start salivating, fall on the floor, crave wild sex with Kevin Costner, and need to be taken away by the police…..
Just kidding—You might not do that , but you will want to drink one. The MRI’s prove it.
7. I also learned that they know if you get kids young enough loving McDonalds, you can program them to want McDonalds for the rest of their lives. I ought to know: whenever I’m stressed I want McDonalds. In fact, I had it for dinner tonight…a quarter pounder (no cheese) with a Coke. My mother must have bought me McDonalds when I was sick when I was a kid, because it’s the only food that makes me feel better.
Flu? MCDONALDS! Stuffy nose? MCDONALDS! Hangover? MCDONALDS! Don’t want to cook? MCDONALDS! Okay, that last one, in my house, is considered an ailment. 
Obviously this means…OMG! I’m addicted!
So…Nobody asks: How can a “logo” put your brain in addiction mode?
This from Kevin Trudeau’s Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About.”
Food manufacturers are knowingly putting chemicals into the food that cause the consumer to become physically addicted to it. Chemicals are being added to our food that actually make us gain weight. Since our brains are mostly fat, a large percentage of these chemicals accumulate there over the years.
And if commercials about food, cars, cigarettes, vodka, drugs, and car insurance aren’t enough to drive us all into zombie- fat no-brain land, let’s not forget all the subliminal political messages they put in all the sitcoms and movies. 
They are not only advertising products, they are advertising political parties.
Last week Michelle Obama made a guest appearance on Nickelodium to push the Obama’s big campaign suck up to the military. (see video below) Yes, they have to get some white votes somehow.
They could be doing this for two reason: It’s an election year, and they want to convince the conservatives..whose families are in the military, that they like them, or 2. They are planning to attack Iran and need more soldiers before the year is out. The ones coming home will not want to go back out there: back to the deserts, and the camels, and the Muslim busting stress, where a McDonald’s Super-Sized Big Mac Meal, topped off with a cold delicious chocolate shake is hard to come by.
Can you blame them?
Either way, when the top family in the country can manipulative the masses with guest appearances on TV shows…Nobody Wonders: Who pays who? Does the President always get free air time, when others have to PAY to appear? 
How fair is that? Is Newt Gingrich going to get free air time on MTV? Also, did Michelle Obama PAY to have the kids call her “Your excellency”? Or did she…demand it be written in the script?Nobody Knows.
And then… I’ll surely remember his name.
Michelle Obama Thanks YOU!
Nobody Flashes
I got this email today, and I couldn’t wait to post it. It must be an old one, so I added a few paragraphs of my own to the end. The author was not mentioned..but he/she is a mighty fine pundit. What makes this satire so relevant is that Obama is going to RUN against the mean, rich, nasty people..of whom he happens to be the perfect example of one.
Enjoy! (Thanks to Pattie)

Dear American Taxpayer
For the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard-working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars for my vacation in Spain. My daughter Sasha, several long time family friends, my personal staff and several friends had a wonderful time.
Honestly, you just haven’t lived until you’ve stayed in $2,500.00 dollar per night, 3 story villa at a five star luxury hotel.
Thank you also for Air Force Two, and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times. By the way, if you happen to be visiting the Cost del Sol, I highly recommend the Bueunaventura Plaza in Marbella: a great lobster with rice and oysters! I’m ashamed to admit the lobsters we ate in Martha’s Vineyard were not quite as tasty, but what can you do if you’re not in Europe? You have to just grin and bear it?
Air Force Two (which costs $11, 351 dollars an hour to operate according to the Government Accounting Office reports) only used 47, 500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere ,1,032 tons of CO2. These are only rough estimates but we are close. That’s quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars, and drive less too, so we can lesson our combined carbon footprint.
I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling hard to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet, so I do appreciate your sacrifices and do hope you find work soon.
I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago, I just had to get away for a few days.
Cordially,
Michelle (Moochelle) Obama
PS Thank you as well for the $4 billion dollar trip to India from which we just returned.
PPS Thank you too for that vacation trip to Martha’s Vineyard: it was fabulous! And thanks for that second smaller jet that took our dog Bo to Martha’s Vineyard so that we and the children could have him with us while we were away from the White House for eleven days. After all, we couldn’t take him on Air Force One because he might pee on some wires or something.
PPPS..Oh, I almost forgot to say thanks also for our two-week trip to Hawaii for Christmas. Obama had to work, so I had to fly out early because we had a 7,000 square foot house that our staff had to get ready. The expense was a bit more this time, over $4 million, and unfortunately we couldn’t move the White House there, as we both love it there, but we want the taxpayers to know, that we make sacrifices too.
The White House will stay in Washington for now.
LOVE YA!
Remember, we all have to share the pain of these economic times equally. Love to redistribute! Share the wealth! Send this to every American and please vote for our second term
I haven’t been in Bora Bora, YET!
Obama Proclaims Ultimate Power…Which He Says He WON’T Use
Nobody Knows
First: Observe the video above. The guy makes a joke about Obama (even though it was tasteless) but he gets visited by the Secret Service.
Really? Really? The Secret Service for telling a JOKE? 
Nobody Remembers that Obama said this about white people once:
“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
He can criticize us, but we can’t say much of anything against him, without the FBI knocking on our door I suppose…but now…it’s gotten worse. If you don’t like Obama— watch what you say: He now has the power to arrest you. He doesn’t even have to have an excuse.
On New Years’ Eve, when every politician in Washington was out of town: when every reporter in the nation was talking about Iowa: when the people of America were all getting over their New Year’s Eve hangovers…what a better time to take dictatorial powers over the Constitution then when everyone is not paying attention to you, because you are busy spending $4 million taxpayer dollars vacationing in Hawaii.
Could you have found a more propitious moment to declare yourself dictator, and give yourself the power to arrest any citizen, on whatever cause you so choose, and lock him or her up indefinitely without a trial?
“I have signed this bill on the understanding that section 1022 provides the executive branch with broad authority to determine how best to implement it, and with the full and unencumbered ability to waive any military custody requirement, including the option of waiving appropriate categories of cases when doing so is in the national security interests of the United States.”
Wow….‘President’ Obama signed the National Defense Appropriation Act, a law that ends the 4th Amendment in the United States unless the Supreme Court overrules it. Only one of the biggest moments in American history. We now officially have a KING…and it went without much of a whimper.
“Oh, he signed but so what? He’ll never use it.” is the Newspeak falling from every pundit’s lip. “He said he’d never use it…and so, whose going to win the Republican Election gang? Who? “
Uh…Houston…Houston…Houston…are you there? Oh..that’s right. Obama got rid of Houston.
Nobody Remembersthe last unconstitutional law that Obama wanted the whole world to see him sign. The infamous Obama Health Care Bill. It was reported on all the cable stations and all over the world. He had that sweet little black boy standing beside him..to show that now, the great man was going to protect, feed, clothe, and give this sweet black boy free medical for as long as he lives. Not to mention, Obama usually has dozens of democrats standing behind him…smiling, fawning…(in Nancy’s case…dribbling..)
So, why did Obama HIDE the signing of probably the biggest grab of power ever taken by a American President since FDR? He knows he has no right to take this power, so as he was signing it, with the provisions put in by his request that American citizens also be included. It was put to us that he wants to protect us from terrorists. But it’s not Muslims terrorist that Obama fears…it’s the tea party.
“The fact that I support this bill as a whole does not mean I agree with everything in it. In particular, I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists.”
As one reporter said: “Here is a man with a law degree telling us that he signed a bill into law, despite serious reservations. Who cares what reservations he has? He signed it into law.”
“Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite militardetention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.”
You won’t? Look what happend when one Congressman said: “You lie.” <—–
The Constitution does not authorize the President to use signing statements to circumvent any validly enacted Congressional Laws, nor does it authorize him to declare he will disobey such laws (or parts thereof). When a bill is presented to the President, the Constitution (Art. II) allows him only three choices: do nothing, sign the bill, or (if he disapproves of the bill) veto it in its entirety.
In other words, you can’t make yourself dictator BY LAW and then come out and say…oh, I really don’t want to be a dictator, you know, I know I’m not suppose to arrest anyone without a trial, but I signed it anyway.
Last year, Janet Napolitano, the head of Homeland Security, wants us all to think that the tea party is the biggest threat to our country. (See her video below) Which means— if you have any sense at all, you can only suspect that it’s not the Muslim terrorist that Obama fears, it’s the America people…especially the white ones.
Report:
Last week, Mark Meckler, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, was arrested at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport on a gun charge. He currently faces 15 years in prison. He actually showed police his pistol permit and explained – and had paperwork to prove it – that the weapon is registered in California.
When you have a president who wants to release our enemies in Guantanamo —but is afraid of those white people who he thinks are after him because of the color of his skin..which Republican Candidate wins in Iowa is the least of our worries. If you can make yourself KING and nobody objects:
Than any day of the week you can say:
“I have signed this executive order that by my sworn authority to protect the American People. The 2012 presidential election will remain suspended until further determination by this Administration that we are safe enough to continue with our great American experiment.”
The director of the Human Rights Watch said, ’ Obama will go down in history as the president who enshrined indefinite detention without trial in US law.”
It’s Here! The Galaxies in Iowa
Nobody Flashes
It’s finally here! We’ve only been hearing about this day for 4,587,209 days! The great Iowa Republican contest is here at last. Will Ron Paul get all his Ron Paul Elves out in the front lines? Will Mitt Romney bet another $10,000 dollars that Rick Perry has never even been to the Department of Education? Will Michelle Bachmann say that she has channeled Elizabeth the First for her endorsement? Will Rick Santorum get a new sweater?
I’m excited. But let’s not forget the more important events happening at the same time: Like..galaxies colliding: 
Nobody’s Perfect: The Damnation of Alan Colmes
Alan Colmes Mocks Santorum For Bringing Dead Son Home.
Nobody’s Perfect
Nobody used to watch the T.V. show, “Hannity and Colmes” for many years. I never really knew just what to think of Colmes. His arguments were always pretty weak. I always thought, in this age of good-looking newscasters, (Especially on FOX) he was unfortunate to have been born— one homely guy. 
I imagined, that Alan was picked to argue against Sean Hannity precisely because he was homely, and not so quick on putting together coherent thoughts. It slated the odds to the good-looking, likeable, and intelligent conservative,Sean. Fox News was the conservative alternative to the otherwise liberal media universe. So in that respect: Alan was perfect.
Nevertheless, Nobody admits, I was glad when they got rid of him. He was like an old shoe. Worn out…smelly. Useless.
Today, Alan Colmes just made one of the biggest mistakes of his career. (See video). It’s one thing to criticize a candidate on his views about how to run a country, but Alan goes too far in this interview and the Fox New Reporter did EXACTLY what anyone with any common decency would have done: Called him on it.
Not many Americans, including me, knew that Rick Santorum took his dying child home to met his children. For Alan Colmes to say that Rick took his dead child home so that the other children could “play” with that dying child, is not only ridiculous even to imagine, on his part, it was despicable.
Alan, obviously has never lost a child. According to Wikipedia, he has no children. Nobody is glad about that.
This is an most precious picture of a beloved angel…my nephew…Justin. He was destined to die the minute he was born. Despite the odds, he lived for a whole year, and bought hours of joy to my brother and his wife. (Look at that cute little guy! He was cooing when they took this picture.) When he died, my brother and his wife spent over 4 hours holding him to deal with the pain, and the loss. My brother said it was the best thing that they could have done for them…let them hold their baby one more time. 
So, here’s my little news to FOX News: The next time I see Alan Colmes on FOX, I’m turning the channel. He’s not a reporter. He’s not even very bright. Nobody hopes everyone who has any common sense will do the same.
I’m doing it for every single parent who ever lost a child. Not many things in life are worst than that.
Fox should get rid of him permanently. Let him go back to being a comedian.There are dozens of liberals out there to pick from, let them find someone else.
You know, none of us is perfect: but some of us, are just downright mean.
Alan Colmes is not only stupid, he is one of the ugliest men on the planet. I’m sorry. That old liberal shoe has lost its soul, and Nobody is really sure if Alan has ever had one to begin with.
Wal-Mart Hosts the Federal Reserve?
Nobody’s Opinion
Last year, we saw all the Kings Horses (but none of the King’s men) came tumbling down in 2011, and yet, I managed to not panic. Every pundit from FOX to CNN was screaming..”BUY GOLD! BUY GOLD! BUY …BUY!!!”
And bring us all your little gold bracelets too, my little kiddies! I have no money to buy gold…but Glenn Beck did, and he bought enough for all of us. He told us so, every single day.
My bank, the Bank of America, has always been pretty good to me. I always thought..gee..if I go to South America some day to go white water rafting in the Amazon (okay, I dream) …my bank will be there. 
How cool.
When the Bank of America announced that it was going to add a five dollar fee to debit card transactions last year, right away, there was Tricky Dick Durbin (come on…I miss saying Tricky Dick) on the Senate floor telling everyone in the world who had their money with Bank of America to take it out and put it in a local bank, Nobody was a bit concerned. Remember that?
“Bank of America customers, vote with your feet, get the heck out of that bank,” Durbin said. “Find yourself a bank or credit union that won’t gouge you for $5 a month and still will give you a debit card that you can use every single day. What Bank of America has done is an outrage.”
Well…sure, I could do that. But then I’d have to drive ten miles out of my way to my new little community bank, every time I wanted to go to the ATM. The gas alone would be suck up my five dollars.
What to do? Well…I like to tiptoe first before I do anything..you know…stick my toe in the water…so I looked for the nearest community bank near me…and there it was. It was even called First Community! I put a whole $75 dollars in. I was officially supporting a small Bank— God…bless my little American soul.
As I was throwing out my junk mail tonight, and I came upon a brochure from my new little bank. Much to my surprise, my new little community bank’s President had been appointed to the Federal Reserve Bank. And more importantly, you could go to Wal-Mart and do your banking there! He wanted you to do that. Cash that check and go spend!
Let me see….My little community bank was part of the Federal Reserve and it was using Wal-Mart to get customers…have I missed something here?
From Forbes:
Four years ago, Wal-Mart abandoned its plans to obtain a long-sought federal bank charter amid opposition from the banking industry and lawmakers, who feared the huge retailer would drive small bankers out of business and potentially conflate its banking and retail operations. Ever since, Wal-Mart has been quietly building up à la carte financial services, becoming a force among the unbanked and “unhappily banked,” as one Wal-Mart executive.
Let’s talk about this Wal-Mart, We do everything but change your underwear retail experience, shall we?
In the past twenty years, America has replaced its vast network of privately owned retail shops to the big shopping retail stores: Home Depot and Lowes have annihilated the small mom and pop hardware stores. This is progress…we are told. This is American capitalism at its finest. Our country was flooded with cheap products from China.
When Wal-Mart popped up all over the world..you STILL had competition: you had Kmart and Target.
Competition is good–Right? So said Adam Smith. Competition is what makes capitalism so great…so….this year, my local Wal-Mart is going to move a few miles down the street…just so it can be between K mart and Target. Almost on the same block.
Kmart will be crushed. We all know it’s days are numbered. I know it’s the job of the CEO’s to smash all competition…but when there’s no one left standing, you have a monopoly. And that’s NOT good. That’s China. One Store. One Party. One Food supply. Yuk.
Nobody is confused here: Bank of America…is not part of the Federal Reserve…right? BUT…Wal-Mart is hosting banks from the Federal Reserve in its stores…which go all over the world. And..what if…Wal-Mart is the last store standing, and it holds the cheapest banking rates in the world, and those banks are all owned by the Federal Reserve some day?
Aren’t we all suppose to be going towards MORE competition..not less? Isn’t that just a bit too…scary? All the little banks will go under, and the only ones left standing will be the big ones…and the Federal Reserve Bank will be the only place the lower classes will be able to bank. It might not happen…but then…did you ever think that we’d have a President named Barack Hussein Obama?
Wal-Mart’s slogan is: Low prices, everyday. I don’t know about you…but the last time I was in Wal-Mart, all I wanted to do was leave.
Obama would be proud. Wal-Mart is fundamentally changing America. When all Wal-Mart’s competition is gone, you will be able to buy everything you need…in just one store, and you will get your money right there at Wal Mart. To the Federal Reserve and Wal-Mart, it’s a win/win.
I remember not too long ago, Rush Limbaugh lauding the wonderful world of Wal-Mart..how it helped the poor with low prices, what a model of success it was…etc. etc…but sometimes you can get too much of one thing. The rich will aways have their stores, but the poor will have only one place to go: Wal-Mart. It’s already the story here in North County, St. Louis.
Nobody Gets Email: Tom Beebe’s Amendment…

The other problem: Chinese and Saudi money swamp our elections. Remember Bill and Hillary’s morning (Chinese) coffee trysts at the White House? Pay, and you can meet them. Obama, it was reported by many last year, received millions from the Saudi’s in the last election.
Anyway, here’s Tom’s suggestion…which is a good one!
(Thanks to Tom Beebe)
TOM BEEBE’S AMENDMENT
(Commentary in {..}, not part of proposed Amendment}
No candidate for the Presidency or either house of Congress shall accept contributions in cash or in kind from any organization or group of persons for expenses incurred in a campaign for that office. All such contributions shall be made only by individual citizens who shall attest that the funds or other items of value are from their own resources and that they have not received, nor have they been promised, offsetting items of value from any other party in exchange for their contribution. The identity and extent of contributors to such campaigns shall be made public for a period of thirty days from receipt before being employed or used as collateral for a loan by such campaigns. Organizations of any type, {i.e. corporations, unions, gun rights advocates, environmental protection groups, even “Susie’s Flower Shop”, a theoretical small business cited in the Citizen’s United Case,} may, without restriction, expend money to advocate a position on any issue before or likely to come before the electorate insofar as no candidate’s name or description is included in their expressions of advocacy.
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.
