Nobody Remembers Yoachum’s Silver
Nobody Remembers
Once upon a time, before Branson Missouri became the wholesome man’s Las Vegas, when Indians were still living the high life in Missouri, “and the livin was eeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssssssssyyy.”..wait.
Somehow I got in Porgy’s And Bess ‘s story…sorry.
It was 1541, and the Spanish had gotten tired of plundering Aztec for gold, and decided to look for the gold and silver in the Ozark mountains. And they found a good spot near Table Rock Lake, now know as Silver Dollar City to entertainers who have made a fortune off of Duck Dynasty’s second cousins, and roller coasters enthusiasts.
Looking around old Indian passage ways, the Spanish found a shelter cave with a good rein of silver ore. The plan was to put the silver in ingots, transport it to the Mississippi River, send it down to the Gulf of Mexico and off to Spain.
And so, they captured local Indians, and made them into slave labor to dig that silver out, and didn’t treat them very well . WHY nobody complains about the cruelty of Spanish slave masters on CNN I’m not sure, except to say, the Indians own Casinos and blacks do not, and if I were black I would blame Jesse Jackson.
(sorry, stick to the story Joyanna)
Needless to say, when the Spanish guys went out hunting, everybody noticed that they didn’t come back, and one morning the Choctaw having had enough, massacre the whole lot of them, although a few escaped.
The silver mine was forgotten for more than two and a half centuries, because the Choctaws didn’t want to mine another single ingot. They had better things to do.
Then, one day, in the middle of a thunderstorm, some Choctaws went to seek shelter, found all these silver ingots, and although they could have cared less about silver, they knew that trading them to the white men for horses and weapons…useful things, might come in handily. So they did.
Valentine’s Day had not been invented yet.
Then one day, some Mexicans came looking for the cave. It seems they had found out about it from an old map given to them by the Spanish guys who had escaped the first massacre. So the Indians decided that cave needed to be sealed. They didn’t want a Mexican invasion either.
The country moved on…and after the war of 1812, our government decided that he Delaware Indians needed to be re-located to the Ozarks, something I’m sure all Delaware people would like to do to any remaining tea party people in their state. . All KINDS of Indians ended up in the Ozarks from all over: Shawnee, Seneca, and Pottawatomie…getting kicked out of their lands.
But hey, Missouri wasn’t so bad.
And then, along came the Yoachum family.
Short history: James Yoachum and his brother Solomon were from Illinois. When James was 18, he abandoned his pregnant wife, and decided to make his fortune trapping furs in the Ozarks. He came back only to find his wife had died in childbirth, so he moved his new son, and his brother and the family to the Ozarks. And though his excuse was that he hated farming, the REAL truth was….
Another woman.
Yes, James married a Delaware Indian woman. Which was a good deal as you will find out.
James was smart. He was always good to the Delaware Indians, gave the horses and food…and they lived in peace together, and then the government came in and told the Delaware Indians they would have to move AGAIN.
No, Obama was not alive yet. It was the Delaware Affordable Move Act.
James was really upset at the government for moving his friends, and so he gave them blankets, food and horse for their journey, and THEY in turn, told him where the silver mine was. But he must promise to never tell anyone where it was. EVER.
And so James got the Silver mine. And whenever they needed to trade, they just went and got a few silver rocks, and they had enough. Everybody was happy, happy, happy.
UNTIL—the government stepped in again. They thought up another LAW. If anybody wanted to buy stuff at the trading post, they had to use American coins. No longer could they trade in furs, or silver, or anything. So, even though the Yoachums had plenty of silver, they had no money. To the government, they were dirt poor.
So..what would YOU do? James just started making his own silver coins, and why not? It had Yoachum on the front and 1822 on the back: United States of America/ One Dollar.
James Yoachum
The Yoachum silver dollar started being used all over the Ozarks, and everyone accepted them BECAUSE it had more pure silver in it than the real American currency.
Oh boy.
Then….THE GOVERNMENT— like the hungry beast that it is, decided that everyone needed to claim their land.They sent a surveying crew to draw out property lines and told everyone that they had to pay a filing fee. And yes, most everyone had Yoachum silver dollar, which of course, the government said was no good. And unless they paid in Government money, they would all lose title to their land.
That agent was run out of town by gunpoint. So, he wrote Washington, sent one of Yoachum’s silver coins, …and Washington saw… that there was silver in” them thar hills”, and wanted that mine.
So one agent went to James’ farm and wanted to know where the mine was. James, like any sensible person who knew he had a second amendment right, took out his gun and ran him off. .
But that agene came back, with eight other armed agents, and so James had to give up. But he refused to tell them where the mine was. Nevertheless James promised to NEVER make another coin again, and he died and the secret entrance to the silver mine filled with silver ingot is still somewhere lying in a cave, just waiting to be found.
Hey, spring is just around the corner, feel like a trip to Six Flags?
By all accounts, this is a true story. (LOL! Unless of course you visit snopes, where Soros has already mined the cave.)
I don’t know what you got out of this story, but I got out of it that I should BURY all my silver coins and never tell the government where it is, if they should ask.
But promise, that I will never make a single coin, because I’m a true American Patriot, and you have to SHOW ME you’re worthy to be my government because I’m from Missouri.
And IF I want to trade my old fur hat— I will.

Nobody’s Fool
Last week, nobody made the point more succinctly than Charles Krauthammer on the fact that Obama has gone completely off the rails with executive actions. Despite this incredible fact, John Boehner stills has a suntan.
Krauthammer wins my Nobody’s Fool Award for the week…again.
And by the way, his book, “Things that Really Matter” is a great read. His knowledge of the Middle East and Israel was especially worth reading. (In the later chapters of his book.)
Toy Story is a Clear and Present Danger

You KNOW you’re well protected from terrorists when the fake gun from your Toy Woody doll is confiscated, as a dangerous weapon:
From the Blaze:
A well-known character was recently deemed a security threat and disarmed at Heathrow Airport in London.
A Woody doll — from the popular “Toy Story” movies — reportedly had his tiny six-shooter confiscated by security staff at the airport. The doll reportedly belongs to a father, who says he has traveled the world with Woody taking pictures for his son.
However, the spokesperson said airports can “use their discretion to remove any item being carried in hand luggage when they believe it may be perceived as a threat.”
Oh…I see. London is filled with radical Muslims who live right in the neighborhoods for all to witness, and yet, they had to take WOODY’s gun. (Eric Holder would be so happy to hear this.)
Woody could jump up and take over the plane at gunpoint…at any second.

—How they can turn characters like Noah from the Bible, into a liberal propaganda movie about too many people being on the earth. I suppose that will be the excuse given from God. God WAS a liberal who decided to kill all those pesky people with a flood.
—How Obama can dictate laws by which the businesses of the country must obey, or be forced to pay fines or go to jail.
___How, because he rules by his pen, we cannot call factually call him a fascist dictator.
—How they can keep claiming that America is in recovery when a third of its people are out of work.
—-How Obama can give raises to contractors with the stroke of his pen.
—-How the stock market can keep making billions for the rich, while the rest of the country’s economy slowly dies.
—How a Republican can be elected Mayor of San Diago, despite the unions and Obama’s democratic machine working overtime in a district where 63 percent of the votes went to Obama, and the press ignore it, and what this means for Marco Rubio
___How the Obama can give the most expensive state dinner…with the finest and most expensive food and decor, and then lecture us on the rich and poor, and expect everyone to think HE deserves to waste our money on himself.
—How Obama can delay his horrible Obama mandates on businesses until after all elections, just because everyone is finding out how much he lied–and let the little people suffer, even though he claims to be against ‘the rich’. If he is against the rich, stop giving them breaks.
—How Obama can punish anyone in buseinsses who fires someone because of the expense of Obamcare, thereby depriving everyone of free speech for fear of a tax penalty.
—How almost all of Congress remains silent, on anything he does, including giving himself more money each and every year, simply because he CAN due to the color of his skin.
—Why we have to feel sorry for the children of immigrants who did not commit the crime of their parents, but not for the white people whose ancestors committed the crimes of slavery.

Nobody Knows Who Killed Dr. Jack Wheeler…But We Can Guess Why
Nobody Knows
I get so much email, sometimes I just can’t find the time to open them all, but today, I opened one sent by Freedom Outpost–it was about the movie Captain Phillips and the Somali Pirates starring Tom Hanks.
I haven’t seen the movie, but I’m glad I read this email BEFORE I watched it.
It seems, it took the Navy Seals 36 hours to rescue Captain Phillips, but the movie leaves out why.
Below is a letter written by a patriot, Dr. Jack Wheeler, who describes what REALLY happened…and I’m guessing after reading about Jacks’ fate, that his family wished he had never wrote it. And that’s why I’m passing it on…because it’s just another blog post hidden in the depths of nowhere, and I think every American has a right to know the clear and present danger from the man in the White House.
From Freedom Outpost:
We sat down and watched the movie and wondered why Navy Seals 36 hours before they killed those that held Captain Phillips. The movie expressed some insight into the actions, but it did not reveal the true lack of action and the act of pure cowardice by none other than President Barack Obama himself!
Dr. Wheeler was a man of honor: a West Point graduate, a Vietnam veteran, and the man who was the driving force behind financing the construction of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He fought long and hard for the dignity and honor of the fallen Vietnam War soldiers. He served three presidents as an aide and advisor — Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, for whom he was a special assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force and a military consultant.
Jack Wheeler was a graduate student at the Harvard Business School when he was recruited to be an advisor to the president regarding military tactics. He was a man of integrity and served on the General Staff at the Pentagon.
Shortly after writing this article, he was mysteriously murdered sometime between Dec. 28th and 31st in 2010, and his body was dumped in a dumpster in Newark, Delaware. Wheeler had homes in Washington, D.C. and New Castle, Del.(See – http://patriotsbillboard.org/this-obama-lie-will-make-your-eyes-bleed/)

THE REAL STORY OF THE MAERSK ALABAMA HIJACKING AND OBAMA’S FRIGHTFUL IN-ACTION DURING THE CRISIS
All of us need to raise our glasses the highest to the Navy SEALs, who popped those three Somali pirates. And I’m sure you want to hear the real story of what happened especially because there is a revoltingly opportunistic and cowardly side to it.
Why, for example, did it take SEAL Team Six (aka DEVGRU, Navy Special Warfare Development Group) over 36 hours to get to the scene?
Because President Obama refused to authorize the SEAL deployment for those 36 hours, during which the OSC – the on scene commander, Cmdr. Frank Castellano of the USS Bainbridge – repeatedly requested them. Cmdr. Castellano is a very, very mature and experienced commanding officer and is rock solid in his decisions.
Once the SEALs arrived – parachuting from a C-17 into the ocean near the ship – Obama then imposed Rules of Engagement (ROE) specifying the SEALs could not do anything unless the life of the hostage, Captain Richard Phillips, was in “imminent” danger.
Thus, when Capt. Phillips attempted to escape by jumping off the lifeboat into the ocean, the SEAL snipers had all four pirates (one later surrendered) sighted in and could have taken them out then and there – but they could not fire due to Obama’s ROE restrictions.
When the SEALs approached the lifeboat in a RIB (rigid-hull inflatable boat) carrying supplies for Capt. Phillips and the pirates, the pirates fired upon them. Not only was no fire returned due to Obama’s ROE, but as the pirates were shooting at the RIB, SEAL snipers on the Bainbridge had them all dialed in. Again, no triggers were pulled due to the ROE.
Two specific rescue plans were developed by Cmdr. Castellano and the SEAL teams. Obama personally refused to authorize them.
After the second refusal and days of dithering, Cmdr. Castellano decided he had the Operational Area and OSC authority to “solely determine risk to hostage” and did not require any further approval by the president. He took unilateral action on Sunday, April 12, 2009.
Four hours later, the White House is informed that three pirates are dead and Capt. Phillips has been rescued unharmed. Then a White House press release was immediately issued, giving credit to the president for his “daring and decisive” behavior that resulted in such success.
Obama has absolutely no military knowledge or experience whatsoever. He demanded decisional control over the entire hostage drama to the last detail. All actions required his personal approval. He dithered like a coward while the world laughed at our warships flummoxed by four illiterate teenagers with worn-out AKs in a lifeboat.
Only when the Navy Commander decided to ignore his Pantywaist-in-Chief and take action and responsibility himself, were the incredible skills of the SEALs put into play.
That Obama could cynically and opportunistically claim that his “bold” “calm” “tough” leadership was responsible should remind everyone that not a single action, not a single word of this man can be trusted. He is bereft of honesty and moral character. He is a complete Zero.
The HFR raises a glass full of pride and gratitude to Navy Commander Frank Castellano, the Navy SEALs for their incredible competence, and our military. Let’s hold a Tea Party in their honor.
What a low-life, lying, racist, Muslim, Marxist, Manchurian coward we have running our government. It is a disgrace to the office. Anybody reading to this point that voted for this worthless son of a bitch step forward to show America how altogether stupid you really are!!
Best Buds: Obama and Hollande
Nobody Reports
Obama has found a butt-buddy, in President Francois Hollande at their socialist news love-fest today. Obama wanted everyone to see that somebody in the world actually LIKES the man, and it’s not hard to imagine why.
Hollande is a big-time socialist. He passed a 75% tax on the rich in France, thereby causing many of the rich in France to pack their bags and leave…some of them came to Silicon Valley. Even X President Sarkosy left so he wouldn’t have to pay the high taxes of his own country.
Obama would LOVE to do that here.
France has universal health care. Obama made sure he let us know that.
When it comes to Syria, Iraq, and the Middle East, both Hollande and Obama couldn’t praise our American soldiers enough. Why…Obama and Hollande are personally going to attend the D-Day celebration next year. (Don’t get too excited.)
Hollande hardily believes in a global climate change tax, and Obama is going to France to sign that cap and trade tax…with the help of Hollande.
When it came to the NSA…France has changed it’s tune though:
Today’s collaboration is a far cry from the strains of a decade ago, when France refused to join the Iraq war. But France also has made known its unhappiness over National Security Agency spying practices. Hollande told Time magazine that the agency’s tactics “should never have existed” and had caused “a difficult moment, not just between France and the United States but also between Europe and the United States.”
Today, he’s all for it! It’s wonderful! And why? Because France is a hotbed of Muslims. ( Who you gonna call? )
France is concerned, to the emergence of a predominantly African population and to rapid Islamization. Sheikh Abbas, head of the Great Mosque in Paris, in 1987 spoke of as many — 6 million Muslims in France. The reasons for this growth are not clear, but they could include the higher welfare payments in France or the relative ease of family planning, including the choice for a large family, in democratic France compared to semi-authoritarian Tunisia. Then there is a rapidly expanding, young, and assertive Muslim community simply outpacing a declining, aging, and unsure non-Muslim community. Many cities or neighborhoods in France have turned into all-Muslim territories. Their condition is not that different from the underclass of blacks and Hispanics in the United States. The Muslim enclaves are ruled only by Muslims according to Islamic law and mores — and they obtain more funding remaining in poverty as such.
The birthrate of Muslims being three to four times higher than that of non-Muslims.
And wouldn’t Obama love to make THIS a more Muslim nation? Like France?
Can a duck quack?
Both these Presidents are going to need protection from the terrorists in their mist…and so, they agree on Syria, Iraq—, and did they mention once again they LOVE that army of ours?
And those wonderful veterans?
Yes.
France not only loves our army, he wants our ‘trade’ and Obama will give him anything he wants. As long as Hollande, remains his friend. Obama needs all he can get.
Tonight, at the state dinner, you can bet that WE the taxpayers will be serving the most expensive California, AND French wine money can buy.
If ONLY Thomas Jefferson could be there to greet them both.
Nobody’s Perfect: ‘President’ Obama VS ‘President’ Putin
Nobody’s Perfect
This week we have a contest between ‘President Obama’ and ‘President’ Putin. Whose better at censorship?
Putin REALLY wanted his Russian Olympics to show the world the music and the history of Russia and he spared no expense. It’s the most expensive Olympics ever held. So, when one of the rings in the Olympic symbol didn’t show up at the opening ceremonies, and the giant structure could not be illuminated by fireworks as planned…no problem. While the rest of the world saw the snowflake that didn’t blossom into a ring, Russia saw what Putin wanted them to see on THEIR T.V’s.
The ‘mistake never happened.”
Obama, on the other hand, while claiming to have the most transparent administration in history, has kept secret just about everything he does. Obamacare was done behind closed doors, the new Asia treaty is being done secretly without Congress, and today, he told French President …..
“I can do anything I want.”
Including, giving ‘stoned’ interviews, and censoring the news…just like Putin:
From Nourishing Obscurity (thanks to amfortas for the info)
This past Sunday evening former NSA contractor Edward Snowden sat down for an interview with German television network ARD.
The interview has been intentionally blocked from the US public, with virtually no major broadcast news outlets covering this story. In addition, the video has been taken down almost immediately every time it’s posted on YouTube.
In contrast, this was treated as a major political event in both print and broadcast media, in Germany, and across much of the world. In the interview, Mr. Snowden lays out a succinct case as to how these domestic surveillance programs undermine and erode human rights and democratic freedom.
He states that his “breaking point” was “seeing Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, directly lie under oath to Congress” denying the existence of a domestic spying programs while under questioning in March of last year.
So which President wins the contest at being the biggest dictator when it comes to censorship this week?
Obama! It’s one thing to make an artistic decision, it’s quite another to bar the American people from being able to listen to one of the most important interviews held about the NSA.
And for that, Obama wins the gold.
And speaking of imperfection….
Does Bob Costas have pink eye? or was it just a case of Botox gone wrong? Let’s ask Joan Rivers, shall we?
The New Feminist Has Black Glasses
Nobody Flashes
The feminists have decided, that in order to be taken seriously as intelligent thinking humans on equal with men, and to demand the respect of the world, they need to put on, what once was thought, to be the one item a feminine woman would never put on her face—black glasses.
It would be like a very masculine man wearing pink underwear.
Hillary started the fad, at her Benghazi appearance in front of Congress, and her friends have joined in.
I’m only relating this silly observation—because if I don’t inform you of the way you are being quietly manipulated, who will? Yes, putting on black glasses makes a woman an authority in every subject. At least, that’s the plan…and Bill Clinton, shows why, he prefers to remain: a man. I mean, the man who expanded the NSA. He doesn’t need black glasses, and that has had to drove Hillary crazy all these years.
At least, there is something we can take pleasure in.
Laura Ingraham—Hits a Home Run for the Home Team
Nobody’s Opinion
It’s not often you see the almost perfect George Will get smashed in an argument, but since House Speaker John Boehner said they are not even going to take up immigration reform just last week, everyone wants to talk about it. And Laura Ingraham did a great job standing up to George:
Yes, what ABOUT the American worker? Doesn’t he get a say? Isn’t this OUR country? Since when do we not have a say in who gets to come in?
Evidently— we don’t.
I’ve been talking about the problem of immigration for years, and it’s gotten to the point where it was becoming obvious to me, and most Americans, that the invasion from south of the Border will just keep on coming. Our leaders have made it obvious, they don’t care one iota about the invasion. After all, we were told by Bill Clinton to accept the fact that by 2050, America will be half Hispanic. And that’s a good thing to democrats who will get their votes.
When George W. worked out a deal (without Congress may I add) and merged Mexico, and the United States, things got much worse. All our recent former Presidents: George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and now Obama…have the same goal as George Will. They want the cheap labor for their corporate sponcers, .and more importantly…the new consumers. It’s already been decided.
But…how to get the Americans, to pay for it and to accept, the mass invasion has been a problem for them all. To them, it’s the one-world global corporate elite club that matters. Davos, Bilderberg, Council of Foreign relations…and it’s been decided.
You…lowly American worker, son and daughter of parents who sacrificed their lives for America..you’re just not seeing the big picture.
George Will makes three points to his argument of why we need MORE immigrants:
One: We need them to work so that the millions of baby boomers can still get social security.
Let’s talk about that one. The Hart-Celler Act of 1965, signed by President Lyndon Johnson, brought in immigrants from third world countries: Before that, mostly Europeans came, (with skills) and for the first time, it included chain migration–which means the lowly poor, could bring in their poor cousin, and then the Indian that Google wants to hire got pushed aside. Most of the people that come to America today have no skills whatsoever. At least 40 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. And they come across our borders to give birth. The highest birthrate IN America belongs to the Hispanic women.
What about the welfare of 40 million immigrants added onto on baby boomer social security? The elites don’t care that it’s not fair..that you paid into social security and they did not…it’s all about the numbers: they are young and many…you are old and expendable.
If the welfare of Social Security is so bad, WHY make it even worse by bringing in millions more immigrants to put on the system? Not only that, illegal’s will get Obamacare, and we can’t even survive with the cost of Obamacare now for our own citizens. 
George…have you forgot the Alamo?
Two: Human capital: What the heck does this mean George? China has more people therefore, we should catch up?
Three: People who take risks are the kind of people we want in our country
Okay George: Let’s talk about some of the ‘risk’ takers…like those in North Carolina.
Alamance County, N.C., is a real hub for illegal’s, and the town’s sheriff has enough trouble trying to keep the drug cartels in line, now he has to deal with Eric Holder. The federal government is prosecuting Sheriff John Thompson of Alamance Country. It seems, his town has been overtaken by “risk” takers. In fact, no matter how hard the sheriff tries, the drug lords have taken over his county, JUST like they do in Mexico, and he just can’t fight them.. Census statistics show that the number of Hispanic residents statewide grew by 943% between 1990 and 2010.
What’s the problem? The Sheriff gives them traffic tickets when they commit a traffic violation. Eric Holder thinks he is ‘racially profiling.”
The sheriff said he is unapologetic for enforcing immigration laws and for using the so-called Section 287(g) program. That initiative by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency trains local authorities to quickly identify inmates in county jails who are in the country illegally and to handle the paperwork needed to begin deportation proceedings. “This is absurd and goes against the very moral fiber our country was founded upon,” he said of illegal immigration.
An Alamance County librarian was recently arrested and later pleaded guilty to misuse of a Social Security number.
Orwell: Black is white, good is bad…illegals deserve more than the citizen.
And how about that last comment George? We will become an economic dynasty because of “economic growth” that will come with all the new immigrants.
And my name is Ailsa Keys, and Paul McCartney is going to divorce his new wife and marry me. (Sorry, I watch the Beatles 50th anniversary…wasn’t it fun?)
How’s that immigration working for us so far George?
Our jails and prisons are overflowing…our wages have gone down due to the fact that they will work for a lower wage, they are putting even more strain on our welfare services, and our schools are overloaded with kids who want special tutors. The MS-13, a violent immigrant group now has presence in more than 31 cities. They have brought back tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease, diseases once eliminated from our country… and they have shut down over 75 hospitals in California alone. And THEY believe that one third of America is rightfully theirs.
If that what George Will calls ‘growth’ I’d have to agree with him: growth of a Spanish third world country taking over its ‘host’.
A man who studied the problem had this to say:
Don’t blame politicians, the decline of manufacturing, education or cheap foreign imports for the economic stagnation that has already begun and will continue for many years. Blame your parents and grandparents for losing interest in having children back in the Sixties.
And in the words of doublespeak: the politicians are always right, the people are always wrong. Who promoted all those abortions…mmmmmm?
The feminists.
Besides…where are all these jobs that George Will says will fuel the great economic recovery? Are they here? Or are they in China?
Exactly.
Anyway, I was so proud of Laura today….she was fearless.
Nobody’s Email: Will the Real Chicken Shit Please Stand Up.
Nobody Gets Email:
Hey! We got the heads up today on Face the Nation: Newsflash—according to the authors of the new biography of Hillary Clinton called HRC (Yes, they have to rebrand Hillary to be a CEO) it was NOT Obama that killed bin Laden, it was Hillary. Panetta came to Hillary and she was all for it! She was a real HAWK! Even General Petraus is singing her military praises.
Yes, Hillary got bin Laden. But unlike Bush and Obama, she stays quiet, and gets somebody to write a book to praise her as the real goddess of war.
I got this in an email called Chicken Salad and Chicken shit…(LOL!) To show you, at least the Republicans have enough sense to give credit where credit is really due.

President George W. Bush’s speech after the capture of Saddam Hussein:
“The success of yesterday’s mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving Iraq. The operation was based on the superb work of intelligent analysts who found the dictator’s footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our armed Forces and I congratulate them!”
Barrack Hussein Obama’s speech after the killing of Osama bin Laden:
“And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the Director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last August, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and I authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.”

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped onto their belt or purse. I can’t afford one. So, I’m wearing my garage door opener.
I also made a cover for my hearing aid and now I have what they call blue teeth, I think.
You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn’t like me anyway.
I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!
I thought about making a fitness movie for folks my age, and call it ‘Pumping Rust’.
When people see a cat’s litter box, they always say, “Oh, have you got a cat?” Just once I want to say, “No, it’s for company!”
Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write, “A Good Doctor”!
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me. They are cramming for their finals.
Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words ‘The’ and ‘IRS’ together it spells “Theirs…”
As for me, I’m just hoping God grades on the curve.
A penny saved is a government oversight. (Priceless!)
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.

I was saying, “That’s because you’re not a musician, and have no clue how simple real rock and roll is, and just how most of it was three chord progressions, and that musically speaking the Rolling Stones had great rock and roll riffs, (and a great drummer) but as far as harmony, creativity, counterpoint, rhythm…they didn’t even come close to the Beatles.
But hey…if you do nothing else, listen to the bass line on this song, it’s killer. Not to mention, John Lennon had one of the greatest rock voices that ever was recorded.
The Beatles were like Haley’s comet. Music like that comes around once in a millennium. I have EVERY original album and even their first singles, still in the same 45 picture jacket.
That’s how much I loved the Beatles.
I LOVE this song..
So….enjoy!
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.
