The Pentagon is Pissed? Really? Well, So Are We.
Nobody Remembers:
Hillary Clinton and Leon Penetta were all over themselves apologizing for a video that was posted of four Marines urinating on three dead Taliban bodies. The Pentagon is mad.
KABUL, Afghanistan — A video showing four United States Marines urinating on three dead Taliban fighters provoked anger and condemnation on Thursday in Afghanistan and around the world, raising fears in Washington that the images could incite anti-American sentiment at a particularly delicate moment in the decade-old Afghan war.
(You’re kidding me right? Like there IS no anti-American sentiment now?)
“This act by American soldiers is simply inhuman and condemnable in the strongest possible terms,” he said. The actions of the Marines in the video could amount to a violation of the Geneva Conventions.”
If anyone should be mad, it should be the American citizen for just how badly the whole war was conducted—Not to mention how much it cost us– not the lame joke of a few soldiers. 
Has Hillary forgotten all those people who were KILLED on 9/11? You can’t even find their corpses. At least those Marines left the Taliban bodies to bury. We just dump our bits and pieces of blown up soldiers in some empty landfill in Virginia.
WAR is hell, and unfortunately, our liberal elites have NO idea what’s it’s like to spend day after day getting shot at, and then finding out, all your fighting has been for nothing because the enemy is being forgiven and helped back into the country with the blessings of the Commander-In-Chief, who goes by the common name of our enemy: Barack Hussain Obama.
Many people feel that the U.S. exit from the battlefield is no different from when the Russians left Afghanistan after ten years. There was no American victory there. The Taliban considers that they have beaten the Americans. That HAS to be hard on our brave soldiers.
Some men in war…just snap. At least they didn’t do what the Taliban do to their enemies: cut off their heads, and desecrate their privates. Right. The Taliban honors the Geneva Convention.
What a joke.
I’m stopping here because this is so uncalled for: Hillary should have said today: “War is hell, for everyone.” And walked off.
Hillary would be stupid to make a big thing about this: the American people will stand behind their Marines. It won’t play well in an election. 
My friend Mona, after seeing the video…expressed it well:
Sorry, but when our troops see the filth and horrendous pain that those people inflict on their own, and our people and country what those soldiers did was mild to what I am sure most would cheer them on to do. How can our men feel anything but that they are actually not even worth wasting their piss on, and I feel for those men. Who could blame them for how they felt and the one who took and posted this should be pissed on and hung as far as I am concerned as who ever put those men in harm’s way: what fools do, and I do not mean those Marines either!
Lucas, Beyonce, and the Commander- in- Chief
Nobody Notes
As you watch the trailer to Red Tails: is it me? Or is every white person in the movie racist? Just saying. 
“Money gave me exactly what I wanted, power over others.”—Oscar Wilde
Today it was released on CNN that Obama is leading in campaign donations. He has about $220 million to spend as compared to that snobby, rich, job-busting, mean capitalist-leading Republican Romney, who has only $56 million.
It helps when you don’t have to pay for your own travel expenses.
While they say most of the donations are in small amounts, from all the millions who love him..Nobody Wonders if those ‘small’ amounts are coming from some Saudi King laundered into a “democratic NGO” of some kind.
Really, if it’s the poor minorities, who voted 95 percent for Obama in the last election where they claim he gets the bulk of it, somehow it’s hard to imagine 16 percent of the population donating even $50 dollars apiece. The math doesn’t add up. Besides, most of his following are in the unemployed 45 percent. So, the man who claims to be with the poor man is actually getting more cash from the rich, like his friends in Hollywood and Wall Street (as it is being reported) than the Republicans. But, he doesn’t want you to know that.
The man who hates the rich actually has some rich friends that he adores. Two of his favorite friends are —
George Lucas and Beyonce. 
Beyonce not only sang at his inauguration ball, she is helping Michelle with her “move on” program. And to set a fine example for their “race,” Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z just spent $1.5 million dollars spoiling their new little baby, Blue Ivy. She has a $15,000 Swarovski high chair, a $22,000 crib, a $600,000 solid gold rocking horse, and a mini Bugatti Car. 
George Lucas, is another great bud. He not only leant the furry Chewbacca to help the Obama’s out on their favorite holiday at the White house, he has made a film to help his old buddy out, called Red Tail. It’s a film to encourage the young black boys who are sitting around watching football to join the Air Force and military.
“I wanted to make it inspirational for teenaged boys. I wanted to show that they have heroes, they’re real American heroes, they’re patriots that helped to make the country what it is today. And it’s not Glory where you have a lot of white officers running these guys into cannon fodder. It’s like a real, they were real heroes.”
Unfortunately, Hollywood didn’t want to make it, because it would not make a profit…evidently the rest of the world is racist, not only America..or it’s because it’s jingoistic— as Lucas admits. Yes America, Lucas, who is a liberal, has made you a war movie.
Lucas continued, “It’s a reasonably expensive movie. Normally black movies, say Tyler Perry movies or something, you know, they’re very low budget, and, even they won’t release his movies. It goes to the lower, not major distributors. And they do well, but they do a certain amount of money, and they know what that is, and this cost more than those movies make.And they don’t believe there’s any foreign market for it. That’s 60 percent of their profit.”
He’s mad because those Jews that control Hollywood wouldn’t do a movie that would not make money. 
Right. George Lucas, a man who made his billions off of that exact capitalistic concept; wants everyone else to be a socialist. Make the movie, even if it is a flop. We need to influence our black youth to join up, get a free education, and become Americans. Not a bad idea really. But, why should they? They can get a free education without joining the army. Obama really is a master. He got Lucas to make a film help him shore up his upcomng plans for a military of young black men, with his OWN money. The “Jews” in Hollywood, that have always dropped their millions into democratic coffers are racists. That’s basically what Lucas is saying.
Well, then Mel Gibson can claim they hate Christians also, because they wouldn’t fund HIS movie “Passion” either.
Coming from a man who took a character named Jar -Jar Binks and put him in his Star Wars episode to be the most perfect modern “Negros” stereotype ever invented in the modern world…a character who you not only had trouble understanding when he talked, but acted stupid and dumb…well, that’s mighty white of him. I’m sure all the black children in the world understood Jar- Jar perfectly. The rest of us had trouble. 
What Lucas doesn’t tell the black youth is that war makes cannon fodder out of everyone: the color of your skin really doesn’t matter. And uh…we have a black military general. And a BLACK commander-in-chief, who will think nothing of sending those black boys to Iran and cannon fodder.
Nobody Wonders: Who ARE these people?
Obama’s Tea Party
Nobody Cares
Last week all the talk was about how the Obama’s hid a Halloween party in 2009 that they gave for themselves and their kids at the White House because, they didn’t want the ‘people’ to think badly of them: throwing a party while the country was suffering. Come on: When has THAT ever stopped them? (Shouldn’t that salt that she is holding be a TEA BAG?)
The real reason was that the movie, “Alice in Wonderland” had NOT been released yet, and about half the country would have stayed home if they had found out that the Johnny Deppster was a big Obama supporter.
Anyway…The White House has corrected us all: THAT Halloween party was thrown for children of the military! 
Well, now…that’s different. They decorated the White House with the finest ghoulish decor, which Nobody Thinks fits the theme of the occupants at the moment perfectly. They served blood looking drinks in glasses, and had a merry old-time, with the famous movie star, Johnny Depp. Personally, I don’t see what the fuss is about: Hillary Clinton threw a party every single day she was in the White House, serving thousand-dollar plate dinners, and by the looks of it, she spent a lot more money on White House Parties than the Obama’s so far. You can see all her parties in a book that she wrote.
Better yet: don’t. Wait for Obama’s White House Party Dinner book to come out and compare.
Today I looked for the World Series Cardinals, who were supposed to be honored by Obama at the White House. But…I guess he didn’t have time because Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt showed up, who are MUCH more important to Obama than a bunch of smelly baseball players.
Military Child Gets to Meet The Ghost of Obama's Future
Being as this party was for the kids of military families, I want to proudly show this: 
IN this first picture, we see two children. The boy is obviously well pleased to get his picture taken with the daughter of no doubt, a general. Some of those kids in the background look like they are having a wonderful time! We also see a fine imitation below of President Bill Clinton, celebrating the many years and parties he has given in the White House. The decor is just stunning. Artistically creating the very FEEL of the Obama home, and just how a Obama Tea Party should feel. Not to mention, the giant pumpkin head standing on all the other little pumpkin heads pretty much sums up the feeling of the country right now. Obama is Pumpkinhead.
The fun for the kids was not only on the inside party, oh no. Having men dressed up as skeletons marching around outside of the White House put JUST the right touch on the party that every military boy and girls dreams about! So very clever.
Nobody hopes the Obama’s release ALL their future parties pictures: After all, they are living in OUR house, spending OUR money, and its good to know that they care for our military children.
Now..pass the salt.
The Perfunctory Dismissal of Depleted Uranium
Nobody Reports:
There is so much that is not being reported on your mainstream news, I thought I’d flash this. Last night, on Coast to Coast, Dr. Doug Rokke, was telling George Noory the host, that over half of our American soldiers from the first Gulf War, and Iraq Freedom, were suffering from the effects of being exposed to radiation from Depleted Uranium (DU) 
He was the doctor/expert in charge during the Gulf war of cleaning this stuff up, and almost all of his colleagus that worked with him, died painful cancer deaths. He’s still alive, but suffering badly. He said that over 40,000 vets had Leukemia. He also was very upset that they are not being treated but ignored. In other words: a big cover-up.
Now, when watching the above training film and the editing that was done over it, I’m not sure if it was a political ploy to damn conservatives, I’m also suspect placing “blame” since it’s very easy to blame ONE guy. The editor blames Ronald Reagan for using DU’s in the first place.
Nevertheless, let’s say Ronald Reagan did know about them, and granted permission to use them, and if this information is true, since statistics for the average citizen are hard to find, none of the Presidents since then, have stopped it. I don’t think DU’s are used in he Navy because of the fact that the stuff would be on board the ships, so they DO know the side effects.
Maybe the Presidents were not informed of the dangers to our soldiers, but that’s another blog. 
Only the people who have come back from the wars and their families can speak out about this, but I post it as just another example of our government not giving a damn about its citizens.
Nobody Wonders if that’s why George W. Bush gets all teary eyed every time he visits the soldiers.
I am posting the full summary from the Coast to Coast email here.
*****
On Tuesday’s show, registered nurse and talk show host, Joyce Riley, discussed the epidemic of violent & murderous episodes involving Gulf War vets, who have typically not found adequate support from the government. Dr. Doug Rokke, a retired Major of the U.S. Army also joined the conversation. Rokke created a U.S. Army Depleted Uranium (DU) Training film, but the DoD failed to ever show his video because of the severity of consequences from DU. A multitude of weapons contribute to DU, including bunker buster bombs, cruise missiles, cluster bombs, and tank & aircraft rounds, he stated. Symptoms from exposure include skin rashes, chronic fatigue, mood swings, memory loss, immune dysfunction, abdominal pain, and blurred vision, he detailed, adding that war zones have become thoroughly contaminated.
In addition to DU, battle fatigue, exposure to experimental vaccines, and toxic environments all contribute to an alarming level of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and physical/psychological illnesses suffered by vets, Riley reported. The VA fields an astonishing 450 suicides calls a day, and out of 600,000 troops who served in Desert Storm, over 300,000 have serious medical problems, she cited. Regarding such cases, “these are people who had something happen to their brains, their bodies; they come back and then they are kicked to the side of the curb, and told,’gee, we don’t see anything wrong with you, and then they’re out of the military,’ she lamented. In addition to high suicide rates, vets with PTSD have killed family members, and afterward report that they were in a fog, and have no memory of committing murders. The VA often gives PTSD sufferer antipsychotic or SSRI drugs, which she believes ends up accelerating their levels of aggression and problematic behaviors.
*****
The radio show is on late at night, and even though some of the guests and subjects are completely bonkers and just meant to be fun: like the existence of Vampires for instance, Noory has been in the front lines for what you don’t ever hear in the mainstream media. My guess is they don’t find him a threat because his show starts at midnight. Most everyone is asleep.
Having said that…if you do an image search for what DU’s do to the babies of Iraq, you will wonder why in the world did George W. Bush take so much precaution to bomb so carefully the city of Baghdad, when the future generations of many Iraq babies would be exposed to radiation.
DU really is a WMD. God…I HATE finding this stuff out, but as Americans, they should be telling us all this stuff.
The Golden Parachute Keeps Opening…
Nobody Knows
—That this was an email that I found very disturbing, so I’m not waiting till the weekend to post it. Besides, not too many people know exactly what happened to the men who ran Freddie and Fannie.
Where are they now? The three who bought down Wall Street– Here’s a quick look into the three former Fannie Mae executives who brought down Wall Street. 
Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae’s accounting activities. Raines left with a “golden parachute” valued at $240 million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear.
Tim Howardwas the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a “stable pattern of earnings” at Fannie. Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. 
Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!
Jim Johnson, was a former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million, when it fact it was $21 million.” Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae. Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million. 
Where Are They Now?
Franklin Raines?
Raines works for the Obama Campaign as his Chief Economic Advisor.
Tim Howard?
Howard is a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama under Franklin Raines.
Jim Johnson?
Johnson was hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Committee.
Kinda makes ou feel sick to your stomach. Our government seems to be rotten to the core: or as the great general would say: “I small a RAT!” Vote in 2012. It is the most important election of our time. 
(Thanks to Tom Beebe)
Nobody Notes: The black man’s golden parachute was a LOT bigger than the white men’s.
Manipulating the Masses
Nobody Flashes
If you watch this video, you will learn all you need to know about how the masses are manipulated to pick the very candidate that the Democrats want to run against Obama. OR…you will learn how the masses are manipulated into picking the man who the “elites” who run the networks, and the banks, and our politicians, WANT you to pick.
John McCain in 2008, was the big bogeyman, because it was said, he would get some moderate votes. It didn’t happen.
Mitt Romney, who everyone has said, will win tonight’s New Hampshire contest…is the new bogeyman that Obama is scared of. The psychology being that a conservative will vote for whomever he thinks the liberals are scared of.
Either way, more video’s like this should be made and shown to the public, to help teach them just how often they are manipulated.
(Thanks to Floyd.)
WAR HORSE: Perfection
Nobody’s Perfect:
Not too long ago, Obama reversed a law saying that you could not sell horses for food here in the United States. I was so angry…that I wrote about it here. Horses are noble creatures. They have carried men through battle, plowed his fields, gave him pleasure….forever it seems.
And so, when I saw this film, I was more than relieved…that Steven Spielberg has come out with a true story about the nobleness of the horse. Not only is this film filled with beautiful cinematography, it’s a masterpiece of storytelling. 
The movie is about a Scottish farmer who buys a horse that is useless to him, but his son and the horse bond for life. When the first World War comes, the father sells the horse to keep his farm. The boy, later joins up and goes to France, to look for the horse, and you know that in the end…they find each other in No Man’s Land, by some great synchronicity in life, which often really happens.
Towards the end of the movie, the horse finally gets free of his German Masters (How he got into the German Hands I won’t say, you’ll have to find out.) and runs through the barbed wire of No Man’s Land where he gets stuck, and a German AND an Englishman go out and both work together to free Joey. The scene is Speilburg’s way of telling us all: men can be good—war is bad.
To Spielberg’s credit, it’s not a political film. It makes no judgement, but shows the true goodness of horse and men. It also shows the immense cruelty and horror of war, without showing any blood.
This movie will make you cry….and it will make you understand the horse…by seeing the world through the eyes of Joey.
Spielberg has made the most amazing film: Jaws, Encounters of the Third Kind, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s’ List, Amistad, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, ET…and now this. Unlike James Cameron, who used his movie Avatar to climb into the liberal global warming bandwagon…Speilburg doesn’t do that in movies. He never takes political sides.
And yet, he, and all his Hollywood friends fill the campaign coffers of Obama: A man who sides against the Jews. A man who just put horse meat on the menu: A man who put human beings into the grave if they are over 70, and go to the hospital. In Obamacare, they will be called ‘Units” and denied lifesaving care.
It’s true. They will not only shoot horses, but in Obamacare..anyone over 70. Just not with a bullet. (Unless of course, you are in Congress.)
As a filmmaker..Speilburg will remain a master of masters. But Nobody Wonders…how can he be so moral, tell such patriotic stories, put his considerable time and talent into making films about the honest, the noble, the good, and the evil of mankind, and then give millions to the very people who will promote exactly the opposite of every story of nobleness he has every told?
Any man who can say horses are food, and old people are no longer given a right to live, is evil.
How? And why?
Does our government actually OWN the great directors? Do the rich of Hollywood give money to protect their right to make what they want? Is that why?
Steven may not be perfect…because he gives such vast amounts of his money to Obama, who is the antitheses to all he shows us in his movies: but War Horse is a movie that can be watched forever more. It’s a perfect film. And I hope everyone in the world see it, and fights to save the noble horse from becoming simply meat for China. We need more horses on the planet, not less.
Go see it…and take your children. Better have some tissue.
What? Some FUN News?
Nobody Reports
Okay. So it looks like Mitt Romney really is going to outspend everyone, and all we can hope is that Obama doesn’t make him look like the fat-rich cat that he is. Not that Obama isn’t the fattest-richest cat on the planet.
But…look what some marvelous minds are doing while our politicians are driving us all nuts. I WANT this plane. I can’t have this plane. But…I want it nevertheless. I can just picture myself landing it on my street and pulling into my driveway. It looks like they might be our new “police” in the air though, so the only chance I will get near one is if my friend, Pattie, who used to work for the police, gets us in to see one.
Next on my list of “I’d like to have that.” …is this. Ferrari is making headphones now..for about $450 a pop.
Now, If i can just scarf up $450 dollars, and put on these earphones, when I go to the police department, I will hand the chief my new card: Which will cost me about $1500 for just one: encrusted in diamonds, it will say, in beautiful font: “NSA” That’s it. He will then lead me out to the plane of my dreams, then I will climb into the plane, with my Ferrarri earphones on, push the “on’ button, and those fans will whirl.
And then…I will take off, and be unafraid, because as you can see, you can’t crash this thing.
“To dream…or NOT to dream…that is always the question.” And in my Nobody case…it’s also usually the answer.
On the other hand, I think the NSA could afford to have a card full of rubies, that they should supply to ME because I’m a taxpaying citizen and I pay their salaries.
See…every Nobody can improve just about anything..except this plane. It’s perfect as is.
Live Free and Master the Art of BS
Nobody’s Notes
—That I missed the first part of the last Republican Presidential debate, but what I did see of it, gave me the impression that at this point, it really doesn’t matter much who is winning. (That’s me watching the debate. I put my best hat on.)
Mitt Romney did not make any sense when he was answering the attack by Newt Gingrich that his barrage of negative ads against Newt were filled with lies. Mitt said, “I didn’t see them.” then went on to address all the issues in the ads. So, if he didn’t see them, how did he know what they said? Then he blamed the people that MADE the ads. Not many people believe that Mitt Romney did not see those ads first, and if you do, then it’s not going to matter…unless you vote. You might want to do something else that day…I suggest, you go fishing.
Newt’s problem is his little cherub face. It’s a hard face to trust. Thomas Sowell has come out with his support, and that’s saying something. Also, Michael Reagan likes him the best— two people Nobody admires.
Quick thinking is Newt’s strong point, and he is the best reason to watch the debates. That, and Ron Paul’s funny faces. I watched Newt at a town hall meeting where he actually answered or (NOT) the questions from the people. He is much better at ad-libbing and LOOKING like he is answering the question, even when he is not. 
I don’t know what politicians call this little stunt, but they all do it: Let’s see how nebulous we can answer that without seeming snobby. They usually start off at the point, and lead it to another subject that they want to talk about and the question doesn’t get answered. It’s the old two-step, side-slip,then smile really big that every politican must master in order to succeed.
Mitt is not good at this, so like Obama, he is already not even allowing question and answer periods.
Obama handpicks his questions now. He looks down at his little piece of paper and says..”Uh…so and so.” And that reporter stands up and asks his question.
Very controlled. I simply don’t know why any of them show up. He could read their questions off a laptop. Mitt as President will do exactly the same.
Jon Huntsman’s strategy is to just say, “The American people want: Fill in the blank…HIM. Short. Sweet. Look in the camera. The audience loved it, which frankly, was pretty scary in itself.
What exactly is in their drinking water? And speaking of drinking…how about those NBC commentators? A bit too..passionate there, don’t cha think?
Nobody Thinks New Hampshire is Stephen King’s country. It is filled with scary liberals who know how to change a tire, and yet are highly educated at all the right schools—schools who have forgotten to teach them that in order to live free, you must pick the right leaders, who are NOT liberals. If you don’t, you are very likely to die sooner.
The “live free or die” motto would be better changed to: “Live well, or blame God, or George Bush.”
It’s timeless. Enjoy!
The Lessons From Atlantis
Nobody’s Opinion:
Here’s a video that was emailed to me that I haven’t seen, and unless you have nothing to do but sit around and watch C-Span all day, you didn’t see this either. It’s nothing new under the sun…the bankers and the top leaders of our government (let’s not forget the Brussels people) have been having secret meetings for years now. It’s chess on a global scale, and it’s not reported, but it’s a class of the .01 percent of the powerful who have gotten together to put in process certain scenarios to get the results that we have seen happen since 2008. The global crash, was caused by what Daniel Hannon would call “crony capitalism” and the rest of us call theft. They got very rich, and gave themselves huge amounts of money, while the rest of the world collapsed.
It’s the reason we see riots everywhere. The leaders of all nations: from the Wall Street Boys, to our own billionaire Congress, to the Saudi Kings of Arabia, to the Queen herself…the gold halls of Atlantis, for all it’s value, could not compete with this small group of..around 400 people.
As the people struggle, the rich have lost all morality.
As I was watching this video, I couldn’t help but think of what Plato wrote about the ‘lost’ city of Atlantis.
Whenever you hear about “Atlantis” you hear mostly about how “wise” etc. the place was. But according to Plato, Atlantis was known first and foremost for it’s spectatcular wealth. The buildings were all of gold, ivory, silver, laced with beautiful marbles beyond imagination. And every five or six years, the King and the princes of nine districts, would meet and for the most part…ruled well.
(Probably because they ONLY GOT TOGETHER EVERY SIX YEARS!)
Atlantis and its people lived in harmony. They had beautiful gardens, and mansions, and just about as much gold as you could imagine. And then it happened: at the height of its glory, the rich got…greedier.
“Then above all they appeared to be superlatively fair and blessed yet they were filled with lawless ambition and power. The portion of divinity within them was now becoming faint and weak. They were unable to bear the burden of their possessions and had lost their virtue. The wealth they possessed was so immense that the like that never been seen before in any royal house nor will ever easily be seen again.”
According to Plato, Zeus got angry…and caused earthquakes, floods, and tsunami’s’ to sink the whole island.
What would Plato say today I wonder?
If history repeats itself, then Atlantis will be destroyed. The rich will go down with the poor.
Now, you have to ask yourself: Did Plato make up this little island of wealth to teach some kind of morality lesson to the rich lords of his own age? Was this a “fable” handed down as a lesson of what happens when too many people get greedy and destroy the rest of the people?
Or was Atlantis…real? Nobody Knows.
According to THIS guy. It’s still here. And isn’t it funny, that when you hear about the lost city of Atlantis, you never hear about the “lawless ambition and power” of its rulers?
Something tells me…in the future, our own ambitoous and greedy rulers of the world, will write their own histroy (as they are doing now) and that bit of information, about how a mere handful of people who ruled the world, got very greedy and helped destory the once great wealth of many… will be lost to future generations, just as surely, as the story of the lost city of Atlantis.
In the future, it will be told to little children, that once upon a time: a great civilization lived where all the men and leaders were wise.

“
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.
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.
