Nobody’s Email: Ben Stein
Nobody Gets Email
It’s hard not to like Ben Stein. Here’s one of my favorite quotes from the most famous teacher in any movie.
Nobody Notes: If you haven’t seen Ben’s Stein’s EXPELLED, you should. Right away. In fact, see it twice.
(Thanks to Pattie.)
Paradoxical Quote of The Day From Ben Stein:
“Fathom the Hypocrisy of a Government
that requires every citizen to prove
they are insured … but not everyone
must prove they are a citizen.”

Here is a really cool visual representation of the Ocean currents between June of 2005 to December 2007. If you look REALLY hard, you can see Al Gore’s butt.

Nobody Remembers: Bruce Lee
Nobody Remembers
“Knowing is not enough. Willing is not enough: we must do. —Bruce Lee
Like many young girls growing up all over the world, I usually had a crush on some famous guy when there wasn’t a man in my life. My first big one was Paul McCartney. I always baked a cake for him when it was his birthday, and since it was a day after mine, I got double-dipped in two big chocolate cakes!
Those were the good old days. Now I get ONE carrot cake cupcake, if I’m good. 
But, the smartest and longest crush I ever had was on Bruce Lee. At first, I was attracted to Bruce for his movies of course….but unlike the movies of today, when Bruce Lee beat up ten guys at once, you could believe that the man could actually do it. At the time, I saw every Bruce Lee movie, read
every book, and had the usual Bruce Lee posters on my wall. I wanted to be Bruce Lee, or at least get my life up to some kind of better standard.
Another reason I liked the guy was his grace. I had been a professional dancer at one time, I had just quit my job teaching at Arthur Murray’s (long story) when I noticed this man. How could anyone be so graceful when fighting? Watch any man doing Martial arts and they look clumsy. Crude. Not Bruce…Bruce ‘s body was as graceful as a gazelle in flight. I have yet to see any man look as good when they were fighting. (Being Cha-Cha Campion of Hong Kong might have helped.) 
Bruce not only danced in his body and moves, he danced in his mind. Like any true artist his creativity was endless. I won’t go into the many wonders of Bruce Lee here, but I will tell you, that years later, my grown-up son bought me a framed photograph of Bruce Lee to go in my Japanese decorated front dining room, years after I had forgotten all about the man.
Then I remembered: I used to make my son watch all the Bruce Lee movies with me when he was a kid, and I often wonder if it’s one of the reasons he became a personal trainer.
So, let’s remember Bruce Lee…here’s one of my favorite passages in his own words, and think while you’re reading this if the whole world couldn’t learn something more from Bruce Lee: It was an introduction he gave before he began to teach you his art.
“Make this article relate to yourself because, though it is on JKD, it is primarily concerned with the blossoming of a martial artist not a “Chinese” martial artist or a “Japanese” martial artist. A martial artist is a human being first. Just as nationalities have nothing to do with one’s humanity, so they have nothing to do with the martial arts. Leave your protective shell of isolation and relate directly to what is being said. Return to your senses by ceasing all the intervening intellectual mumbo jumbo. Remember that life is a constant process of relating. Remember too that I seek neither your approval nor to influence you toward my way of thinking. I will be more than satisfied if, as a result of this article, you begin to investigate everything for yourself and cease to uncritically accept prescribed formulas that dictate “this is this” and “that is that. “
Nobody’s Fool: Teddy Roosevelt on Being an American
Nobody’s Fool
Here’s Teddy Roosevelt in 1907. And here’s one of his best quotations…When was the last time you heard this from an American President? 
‘In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.’
Theodore Roosevelt 1907 Every American citizen needs to read this!

Nobody Knows that “Nobody’s Perfect” :Dyslexia
Nobody Knows
Many of you may have noticed that a few posts ago, the headline said:
Nobody Reprots:
LOL! Okay, I really feel bad about this, but it’s time to fess up. I suffer from visual dyslexia, so I feel I owe my readers a…warning, one that I hope you’ll help me out with.
Most of the time spell check catches my mistakes, but, while I’m reading over what I’ve written, right after I’ve written it, if I come to a word that I’ve misspelled, my brain doesn’t catch it right away. That’s why when I looked at Reprots…it looked right to me. I KNOW how to spell it of course, but my “eyes” don’t—even when I look at it a second or third time. It’s hard for people to believe, (unless you have dyslexia too) that I don’t catch the mistake. My brain has actually already registered it as okay. 

So I told myself…good god woman, go look it up. So, I Googled it.
GOOD news: Lots of people suffered from dyslexia! Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Michael Faradey, Alexander Graham Bell, Leonardo da Vinci, Ansel Adams, Tommy Hilfinger, Henry Ford, William Hewlett, Charles Schwab, Ted Turner, Frank W. Woolworth, Henry Winkler, Orlando Bloom, Tom Cruise, Whoopi Goldberg, Keanu Reeves, Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, George Patton, Stonewall Jackson, Cher, and John Lennon. They all suffered from ti. 
(I purposely Left “ti” in — so that you can see how easy it is for me..ti..should be it. Sometimes I catch myself, sometimes I don’t.
Now…if you, my dear readers catch me misspelling words or spelling words backwards, feel free to point it out to me…I would be grateful and ever so thankful, because the more I become aware of it, hopefully the better I will be at ‘taming’ my brain into thinking that what it thinks it’s ‘seeing’ is not real.
Don’t worry about making me feel bad…you know…and I know.. that Nobody’s Perfect!
Right? Right. Besides, I can tell myself every time I screw up…that even Einstein couldn’t get all the words right. (not that he HAD to) And I also think that Picasso drew that picture of me at the top. That’s really me. That’s exactly the look on my face when I am trying to figure out if I misspelled the word:..eyb. (bye)

Has Jimmy Carter Moved to Spain?
Nobody Wonders—
Is the election already in the bag?
Perhaps Obama had reason to believe so when he said “after my election” rather than “in case of” to Russian President Medvedev a week ago.
Because the CEO of SKYTL, Pere Valles, a socialist who donated heavily to the 2008 Obama campaign and lived in Chicago during Obama’s time as Illinois State Senator, will be counting our ballots. He used to be VP and Chief Financial officer of GlobalNET, a NASDAQ publicly traded telecommunications company headquartered in Chicago.
When the Spanish online voting company SKYTL bought the largest vote processing corporation in the United States, it also acquired the means of manufacturing the outcome of the 2012 election. For SOE, the Tampa based corporation purchased by SKYTL in January, supplies the election software which records, counts, and reports the votes of Americans in 26 states–900 total jurisdictions–across the nation. And although the votes will be cast in hometown, American precincts on Election Day, with the Barcelona-based SKYTL taking charge of the process, they will be routed and counted overseas.
Oh gee…that’s comforting, isn’t it? Not only will they be controlling the votes of our military overseas, they will also control our elections. Our Congress voted for letting this “overseas” operation control our election, and it gets better: the system is hackable. It’s already been hacked by a Computer Teacher. Upon opening the system for the use in the District of Columbia, the University of Michigan’s fight song “The Victors” was suddenly heard after the casting of each ballot. It was easy.
And that’s not all:
In spite of warnings by experts across the nation, American soldiers overseas will once again vote via the internet in 2012. And because SKYTL will control the method of voting and—thanks to the purchase of SOE–the method of counting the votes as well, there “…will be no ballots, no physical evidence, no way for the public to authenticate who actually cast the votes…or the count.”
The American advocacy group Project Vote has concluded that SKYTL’s internet voting system is vulnerable to attack from the outside AND the inside, a situation which could result in “…an election that does not accurately reflect the will of the voters…”
Mmmmm….didn’t Michelle take a very lavish vacation to Spain in 2010? While White House spokesman Gibbs said, “The first lady is on a private trip. She is a private citizen and is the mother of a daughter on a private trip. And I think I’d leave it at that,” she did an awful lot of political stuff while she was there. She took Anita Blanchard, who is married to Marty Nesbitt the treasurer of Obama’s campaign fund with her. This was after he was in office. 
Another thing Michelle did on that trip was endorse the “Cordoba Initiative.” Remember it was the Cordoba Intitiative that tried to put the Mosque on Ground Zero.
The Cordoba Initiative’s stated mission is “to achieve a tipping point in Muslim-West relations within the next decade, bringing back” the conditions of Cordoba during the period of Muslim domination, when they “coexisted” with Christians and Jews who lived in a condition of peace.
It wasn’t peaceful at all. The Muslims went by Sharia law and everyone else was second class. We didn’t hear about Michelle’s ‘endorsement’ here, did we? 
Sometimes Nobody Wonders: Who have all our politicians been selling us out to? Who really owns us…The Chinese or the Muslims? One owns our debt, the other owns our Presidents. Where do we fit in?
Once again: All it will take is a few adjustments and Obama will win…he has a friend on the inside, who’s outside our jurisdiction. We vote ‘globally’ now. Do you trust this system? I don’t. We’d be better off if Jimmy Carter was running it…wait…I take that back. Jimmy Carter is probably already in Barcelona.
No Wonder they say Obama is leading in the polls. Maybe everyone in the media already knows it’s a done deal.
The IPAD Can Find YOU!
Nobody Reports
Leave it to Steve Jobs to make sure that IF your IPAD is stolen, you can track it by going to the Apple Apps. The chip in the IPAD shows you where it is. In the near future, all the cell phones will have this chip too.
But remember..it works both ways. If the government wants to find you, and you are carrying around your new wonderful IPAD, they’ve got you.
While this wonderful feature is introduced as a great thing, and most people would say so because of how expensive the IPADS are, the technology gives our “authorities” more knowledge about where you are.
I don’t have an IPAD, but one of my friends, Pattie, has one and carries it everywhere. Mona, my other friend (I have two you know) wants one so badly, she sold her tanning bed to get one.
All this…tracking I suppose will be done by the new multimillion dollar NSA complex being built-in Utah.
Sooner or later, we will all be ‘chipped’–the govenment will chip our cars, our cell phones, our driver’s licenses, and our IPADS–they won’t need to chip our wrists will they? They will know where we are and what we are doing at all times of the day. And they are already listening.
Good thing? A lot of libertarians would disagree.
That kid might someday grow up to catch us all, cutting up our National ID’s. (cute kid)
Nobody’s Perfect: Ozzie Guillen VS Luis Moreno
Nobody’s Perfect:
First: When you get a great job, in the greatest country on the planet, the last thing you should do is insult the fans that help pay you your big paycheck. REALLY stupid.
The new Miami Marlins’ stadium was built downtown Miami, right in the middle of Little Havana. The stadium was built on many of the Hispanic taxpayer’s backs, and Ozzie Moreno was hired for the obvious purpose of giving all those Cubans-Americans coming to the baseball games, a Spanish speaking manager to call their own: except–they have found out this week he is NOT one of their own.
It seems Ozzie is a big supporter of communism.
” The manager twice appeared on a radio show hosted by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in October 2005, when Guillen led the Chicago White Sox to the World Series title. At the time, Guillen said: “Not too many people like the president. I do.”In the Time magazine online story that ran Friday, Ozzie was quoted as saying, “I love Fidel Castro.” Later in the story he added, “I respect Fidel Castro. You know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that (expletive) is still here.”
As you can imagine, that didn’t go over too well with the Hispanics in Miami, who hate Castro. To keep his job, Ozzie had to come out and apologized and say how “embarrassed” he was because he lives in Miami. He threw in an apology to the American people too, but like a true Obama supporter, he came out and said that he was “misinterpreted.” 
As you can see, it might be some time before the Hispanic people forgive him. What he forgot to say was, “America has been very good to me, and I think Castro is a tyrant.” Now, he has to go out into the community and try to convert the Cubans into either liking him again, or make them all communists.
Good luck with that Ozzie.
Second: On the other hand, we have a soccer player named Luis Moreno, who booted a live owl in front of the whole world. The poor helpless thing wasn’t even in his way. It was a purposeful kick, and it died from that injury.
The bird — which had been stunned after being hit by the soccer ball moments before — was a mascot for the Atletico Junior squad. Fans of Atletico Junior have been calling Moreno a “murderer,” and the Panamanian player may face legal ramifications for kicking the bird.
But hey—Luis is at least more honest than Ozzie in his response to the public outrage.
“My family is very worried about what happened, and even more because there is an entire country against me — and I think that’s not fair,” said Moreno. “I believe that what happened is regrettable. I apologize to the entire country and I believe it is time to let the issue go.”
Nobody Thinks next time Luis is lying on the field injured, one of the opposing team should just go over and give him another good kick. If he happened to die from that kick…then the player that delivered that kick could rightfully say:
“I apologize to the entire country, and I believe it is time to let the issue go.”
Is killing an owl worst than saying you like Castro? Nobody Thinks you can’t compare— they’re both ….imperfect.
So, this week Nobody Wins the Nobody’s Perfect award of the week. Better luck next week.
Nobody’s Imaginary Vacation!
Nobody Flashes
Since my last vacation happened BEFORE Disney died, I like to sit around and think of what kind of vacation I would think up for rich people and their friends…you know, the “Let me help you get a life” vacation? I could be a damn good travel agent for the average billionaire who is tired of going to the South Of France..
Here’s one that I think they would enjoy:
First: The owner of this vacation would pick 1,000 of his favorite people, and pile them on Air Force One outside of Dulles. All that would be needed is a simple $3 billion dollar campaign fund donated to Obama’s re-election money bags, and you would have the finest jet in the world take you and your friends to the thrilling land of S. Korea.
Come on…when was the last time you were in South Korea? The only catch is, “President” Obama might want to come along for the ride since he’ll go anywhere for a party.
Second: You will arrive in Panmunjom, the demilitarized Zone between North and South Koreas….Meeting you at the airstrip will be 250 brand new Mercedes Benz Mini-Vans to take you and your guests to the place where you are going to be spending the night.
Your vans will pull up to the Tentanic..yes, a tent that can hold 1,000 people. There you will spend the night being poured the finest champange, while Celine Dion performs her best hit from the Titanic movie: “I’ll be loving you…in all the old familiar places..back of cars where you embrace me….long agoooooo.”
Wait. No…well, she’s only going to be there singing the one hit from the Titianic, and you will be allowed to smash glasses and throw whatever happens to be on the floor. And don’t worry—Whatever happens in that tent: STAYS in that tent. 
Third: The next day– a real treat! Golf. In pairs of four, everyone will get to play the most dangerous golf course in the world, which sits in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. There is only one hole to play: a par three..192 yards, but the rough is filled with land mines! Think of the fun bets you could win by challenging the other team to go in and get his ball! 
Forth: Be sure and ask the “President to play. Donate another $ 5 billion to his campaign.
Fifth:After that fun game of golf, everyone will get back in their Mini-vans and head off to the nearest Ocean. There you will all be given your very own submarine to explore the sea in. Those that do NOT want to participate in this event, have get to sit on the beach and smoke Lamborghini cigarettes, if they like. (One pack: $2,700)
At the end of the day, when all the subs are discarded, everyone will get back in the Mini-vans to get back on Air Force One. Be sure and tell the pilot that the President in on board. If he isn’t, don’t worry. You gave him enough money to get a ride back to the states. Let him buy his own damn plane. 
Hey…did you have fun! Nobody thanks you for traveling on Nobody’s Imaginary Vacations! (Thanks to LuxuryLaunches for all the inspiration!)
And Now, a Word From Our Sponcer….
Nobody’s Notes:
Nobody Thinks the world lost one of God’s most beloved works last Good Friday: Thomas Kinkade. Anyone who has ever seen one of his paintings has been touched. He was probably America’s most beloved painter. That man was touched by God…no doubt about it.
I was at the art museum here in St. Louis last week, and I remember staring at a whole room of what I call, “modern crap” art. One such picture took up a whole wall and was entirely…blue. That’s it. No doubt some rich person would have paid millions for it. A six-grader could have painted it.
If just one of Thomas’s pictures had been in that room, I wouldn’t have even glanced at those, as we here in middle earth call them: rip-offs. But, you won’t find Thomas in any hotsy tosty museum, which shows you how far the ‘rich’ have genetically improved their IQ, and how morally lost many of them seem to be.
Nobody Thinks the fact that this “Warrior of Light” as he was known, Good Christian as he was….the fact that he died on Good Friday was no mere coincidence. His incredible talent, is beloved by the “meek” the “humble’ and the “rightous”…and yes, we are all still here. 
The man, had the gift of an angel. And although I think God took him too soon…I think Easter is a fine time to reflect on the gracious light he gave to us all while he was here, and reflect of the real meaning of Easter.
Thomas once said:
“I share something in common with Norman Rockwell and, for that matter, with Walt Disney,” he said. “In that I really like to make people happy.”
Boy, did he.
Hope everyone has a great Holiday with their families….and Happy Easter! 
Nobody’s Email: Two-Year-Old Star
Nobody Gets Email
Oh my god…help me. It’s Saturday, and there is this guy on Book TV , who just wrote a book called “Constitution Cafe” and he just wants to change our Constitution. He’s liberal, stupid, and he’s driving me nuts.
He likes some Constitution in some other country that guarantees “Happy Material and Cultural” …whatever …to everyone. So “Cultural” means that Muslims can beat their wives I suppose, and “material” means the rich must give to the poor.
We have communists, Martha, coming out of the woodwork, who have NO idea that they are communist. They think they are “enlightened” shamans. Good god…help me.
So, I’ll shut up now, and we can watch this remarkable little guy perform, I am in desperate need of some comic relief.
Enjoy!
