A Concert for Cows
It’s Saturday night and Nobody Gets Email!
You know, I really didn’t get any political emails this week–For some reason, people are sending me video’s of animals.
What does this mean?
It means everyone is tired of Newt, Herman, Mitt, Bill, Hillary, Iran, and Obama threatening us ONCE again…that if Congress doesn’t pass his bill, then he is going to take $1,000 dollars out of everybody checks. Last time, he was going to STOP the Social Security Checks.
So….what’s he going to do if Israel doesn’t “come to the table” and talk to the Muslims? Threatened to deport Bernanke?
I bet the soldiers are real excited that when they come home they are all going to be offered jobs as farmers, and can somebody tell me WHY Obama has to put his whole face on the screen when he gives his weekly address?
Really, if you have a 60 inch screen like I do, you feel like you are in a room with John Hurt in 1984, and feel the need to jump up and exercise.
But animals have come to sooth our souls.
Here we see that cows actually do love music, and I’m posting this because I happen to think Dixieland music is not only hard to master, but a lost art. If you have never been to New Orleans and strutted down the street to such happy sounds, (while drinking a Hurricane) you might want to get this band’s CD and dance in your living room. Do it while your kids are playing x-box just to annoy them.
Animal video’s. Well, I’m happy.
(Thanks to J.R.)
Nobody Has A Reason to Celebrate!
Nobody Gets Email
After yesterday’s post about murder, depression, and psycopaths…I thought I needed to lighten things up a bit, and look for some good news, and Nobody got it!
President Obama is leaving the country and going to Hawaii to play golf, and eat, and party, and he won’t be back until January the 2nd! Now’s our chance to get something done.
Soooooo……LET”S PARTY!
By the way, that‘s me, celebrating last night. I’m a pretty good dancer, don’t you think? Jose needs to step it up a bit, but, he’s a pretty nice guy.
Okay, so everybody on the internet has seen this video, Nobody CARES…Tell me, why isn’t this dancing duo on DANCING WITH THE STARS?
Really, I’d like to see some of them get beaten by a dog.

Nobody Remembers Columbine
Nobody Remembers
“Isn’t America supposed to be the land of the free? Howcome if I’m free, I cant deprive a stupid fucking dumbshit from his possessions? If he leaves them sitting in the front seat of his fucking van out in plain sight and in the middle of fucking nowhere on a Frifucking day night. NATURAL SELECTION,fucker should be shot. Natural selection!!! God damn it the best thing that ever happened on the Earth.Getting rid of all the stupid and weak organism’s I wish the government would just take off every warning label then all the dumbasses would either severely hurt themselves or DIE. “
No, that’s not a statement from one of the Wall Street protesters, that a rant from Eric Harris’s journal’s right after he was arrested for breaking in a van and stealing what was on the front seat. Eric Harris will go down in history as the mastermind of the Columbine murderers, and he’d be proud of that.
I just got finished reading Columbine by Dave Cullen. Dave Cullen is considered the expert on Columbine, because he spent who knows how many decades interviewing, researching, and looking for the answers. Why? It’s a herculean effort and well reported. There is probably not one kid, parent, police, or official, that this man didn’t interview after the event. 
It’s a good book, and he makes no judgments on anyone.
Most of the people who read this blog, I’m sure, remember April 20, 1999, the day that we all watched kids being run out of the Columbine High School on our TV’s— hands on their heads while they stepped past the dead body lying on the sidewalk. It was being reported that “men” were inside the Columbine High School in the Colorado shooting.
This Nobody was saying:.. So…we have..uh…450 SWATS, and hundreds of COPS, and Military, and NOBODY is going into the school to save those poor kids inside? What the hell good are they?! Typical. Hurry up and wait for the orders. 
But…who wasn’t giving the orders? After the second hour which seemed like an eternity, I was thinking, “I bet Bill Clinton is watching this and trying to figure out a way he can push for his anti-guns laws, so the more gruesome, the better for him.” That’s sounds crude, but it’s the truth. Would a President send orders from the top to…milk the event?
Now, before you say I’ve gone too far– think of this. The FBI negotiator on the scene was none other than the last man to talk to Branch Davidian, David Koresh before he and his 80 or so people in Waco were burned to the ground on orders from (it was reported ) Janet Reno.
Janet Reno reported to Bill Clinton.
Dwayne Fuselier did a horrible job of “talking” down David, why in the world would they call him in to take care of this? He was the closest FBI person, it was said. But…this wasn’t a hostage situation. That’s what he was, a hostage negotiator. Nevertheless,he took over, although in the book its reported that he just “helped.”
The book goes into detail about many of the events that day–like a teacher who had been shot, but laid bleeding for four hours inside, waiting for help. He was near a window. He bled to death. No one was held accountable. They kept telling the people who were begging for help: “They are on their way…ten minutes!”
Uh…why do we have SWAT teams again?
While the carnage inside was bad enough…one poor boy was left outside to lay on the sidewalk for 28 hours, all the time the camera’s were filming him. This was even after all Eric and Dylan had been found dead in the library. I can only imagine the poor parents. Seeing their kid’s dead body all over the news…it started snowing. Nobody touched him. “He might be wired” was the police’s excuse.
Absurd. Really. He was wired all right–to a hungry adminstraton and media who wanted to sensationalize the crime of what guns can do. There was no reason not to move that body. There was over a hundred witnesses that saw him get shot. 
I was furious that day, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I thought the government’s lame reaction to this was almost criminal.
After reading the book, I am now even more furious.
Okay— you have some really sick kids: one is a wannabee terrorist psychopath, (Eric Harris) and the other was a major manic depressive, (Dylan Klebold) and they have done just about everything to let everyone who was paying attention to them know that they are going to cause some real damage.
Eric had a website where he bragged about his bomb making for over a year, right after he ranted about how much he hated the human race and wanted to kill them all. Teachers reported scary English papers from both Dylan and Eric. 
The police department, had a valid report on Eric making bombs long before the attack. One couple went to the police 18 times to get them to do something because Eric was threatening to kill their son. The threats were on Eric’s website.
They didn’t pull up the website until they got on the scene.
The poor families whose kids were shot, struggled with medical bills, and one woman committed suicide over her daughter’s paralysis, but it was the teachers who got the money because they suffered from “anxiety” afterwards.
God bless the union.
Over 24 of the victims tried to sue. They lost. The most money came from the home insurance that Dylan’s parents had on their home. Tell me, millions of dollars were sent to Columbine…where did it go? The book doesn’t say.
The parents of the two murderers were clueless. Not different from many parents across the country, but the police blamed them. As did everyone else. The mother of Dylan wrote every victim a letter to apologize, but the police never sent them.
Clinton and Al Gore used Columbine to promote gun laws as he also did at Oklahoma city. He used the tragedy to promote gun control. He got it passed in Colorado, but it was stopped in the Congress. 
Suicide among teenagers increased 300% from 1950 to 1990, and it’s the third leading cause of death among teens. Dylan, was so depressed before that day that he wrote this:
“Good god i HATE my life, i want to die really bad right now.”
After the book you feel sorry for the people who lost kids, who got no answers, who will never ever get over the insanity of the event, and the callousness of the authorities who made so many mistakes.
But something tells me, there is more to this story, and we will never know the whole puzzle of what happened that day. Why it was handled so poorly?
Why is there so much depression in our kids? It’s the land of the free, the home of the brave, isn’t it?
Well, two kids evidently didn’t think so.
The worst thing about that day? There were no hero’s allowed. No fathers allowed to go in to save their daughters. No SWAT teams allowed to storm the shooters.
Why? Nobody Knows.
Nobody’s Fool: P.J. O’Rourke
Nobody’s Fool
Ever since I read “The Parliament of Whores,” P.J. O’Rourke has been one of my favorite authors. I was sorry I missed all his Rolling Stones articles, as I was busy playing in bands and making a living at the time with little time for reading magazines. But, he’s still around, and so here’s a great quote I’m assuming, on the topic of his book about cars.
Cars didn’t shape our existence; cars let us escape with our lives. We’re way the heck out here in
Valley Bottom Heights and Trout Antler Estates because we were at war with the cities. We fought rotten public schools, idiot municipal bureaucracies, corrupt bureaucracies, corrupt political machines, rampant criminality and the point-headed busybodies. Cars gave us our dragoons and hussars, lent us speed and mobility, let us scout the terrain adn probe the enemy’s linees. And thanks to our cars, when we lost the cities we weren’t forced to surrender, we were able to retreat.
Yes, and they want to take them away from us…you know it.
If you saw the movie, Atlas Shrugs, you will also enjoy his wonderful preview of the movie by P.J.. Nobody Thinks he got it right on. It was pretty boring.
P.J.—Nobody loves you, wherever you are!
Enjoy. (Thanks to Tom Beebe)
Nobody Needs Photoshop Welfare
Nobody Cares
America bailed out Europe today, with the spin “Hey…We have to bail them out or we will go down!” The stock market soared, and like the Nobody that I am, it really meant nothing to me, so I went out and raked leaves.
I have a LOT of leaves. I’m considering asking my trees to switch their diet. I’d set my lawn on fire, and get rid of them all at once, but I think that’s illegal.
Nevertheless, Nobody searches hard now for the good-news nuggests, and I found this great video of Donald Trump, dishing Obama for coming to New York on the same night that the Rockefeller Center turns on its Christmas tree lights. If you have never experienced a “President” coming into your city, you should move to Russia. Wait…no..you don’t have to move. Here in the United States they have to shut down whole city blocks, subways, and highways..for hours…just so Genghis Obama can make his lordy way to his fund-raisers. They hardly EVER mentioned this fact on TV, which is again, why I wish Donald would run for President, because he mentioned it.
He mentions a lot of stuff that this Nobody likes.
Tonight, the Rockefeller Christamas Special on NBC was a perfect example of how you didn’t see any of whatever trouble in traffic that Obama caused. All 900 teenage girls were in front, to see the Beaver (sorry he looks like a small beaver to me, he needs a Wally) and the Kicking Rockets (okay, so that’s not their real name) looked perfect and…Coral King can’t sing anymore, but Neil Diamond still can, and Tony Bennett is the only singer in the world that can smile and hold a loooooog note…and not break his smile. And I simply don’t know how he does it.
It’s like it’s cemented on his face like that butt-lady who has cement in her cheeks. Maybe he dabs a little super-glue in his cheeks. Something.
Anyway, this leads me to point. Nobody wants to assure all the women out there, who are tired of looking at beautiful women in perfume adds, videos, clothes commercials, angels of fluff in scanty Santa outfits, that, while you are searching you memory for one girl that you ever saw that never had one pimple on her face…
THESE GIRLS ARE NOT REAL! Why do I say that? They have help. They have been airbrished, polished, computerized…need I say more? And what about us nobodies?
I say we need Photoshop Welfare. Forget food stamps.
Now, in case you doubt me, here’s a video that I wish I had never seen…because now when I watch TV I’m thinking..”He’s NOT in that plane, they are NOT in that car, that is NOT New York City…that is the young Mariah Carey in that old rehashed Christmas video with Justin Beiver, Obama is just an actor from Kenya, not really our President, and that girl doesn’t even have pores! ”
It sort of spoils some of the “I’m escaping from the fallen dollar, and lack of photoshop mode”... you know what I mean?
I’d say ENJOY this next video, but if you think that ignorance is bliss…..don’t watch it.
Protection For the White British Woman Who Wants Her Country Back
Nobody Reports
Not since Lenny Bruce was arrested for obscenity have we seen such a fine example of that really wonderfully expressive word…FUCK. You know, the Germans started it, and the Brits refined it, and it probably came from the first guy ever to get mad at the other guy who came into his cave and started eating his food.
Nobody Thinks that the word fuck probably started out as “unk! then muck! than..juck!” It was a gutteral fun thing, and after all, speech is for communication, so therefore, if you grade a word by it’s proper place of great use, than fuck is a mighty fine word indeed, and this lady has had about enough of the world, and being not from the proper upper class of eitles, she got arrested for it.
While many people are outraged at the fact that this lady is claiming that all these people on the bus do not look like her, (and they don’t) therefore are not British, therefore she wants them all to go home, let Nobody remind the readers that JUST because you are born in a country, that doesn’t mean you LIKE that country, or feel attracted to the natives. Whoever thought up the “let’s make them mix and mate, and see what happens!” theory of utopia should have been arrested long before this poor woman.
What this lady should have said is : How would you like it if a bunch of people invaded YOUR neighborhood and took it over? May I suggest that the people in history who didn’t resist invasion, were pretty much left on the dustbin floor…or as in the Indians of the old West, the dustbin of the local reservation.
She was arrested for being a “racists” although, she spoke facts: she said —blacks. Poles. Uh…what’s wrong with that? There are many “white” people in the world that admire her rant, even though it seemed very crude…and not exactly the Queen’s English. She SHOULD have the right to free speech. But, not in England. She was arrested.
Oh my.
So, Nobody suggests all the white people done these really cool helmets and go forth into our native countries, stand up… and…be silent—lest we be arrested. Actions speak louder than words. And who’s going to mess with us with our fine new helmets on? This one is only $2,995 dollars, but that’s with real crystal. You can make one at home, with cheap glass for $60.00. In fact, if I were a rich man, I would send her one, for having the guts to stick up for her tribe, lot of good it did her. 
(Nobody makes this stuff up.)
The Gods of Goldman Sachs
Nobody Knows–
This is Lloyd Blankfein. He is now the head of Goldman Sachs. In his first year as CEO he received a $67 million dollar bonus. So far, its recorded that he has visited the White House ten times. By this video alone, I’d say he practically lives there. Nobody Knows what doormat I’ve been under, but I just discovered today that Jon Corzine, another former Goldman Sachs Chairman, was actually at one time, running Goldman Sachs with Henry Paulson before entering politics. (1998.) Jon had left Goldman Sachs to join MF Global in March 2o1o with a plan to remake it into the next Goldman Sachs. Oh…and Lloyd would be proud…Corzine was once a Senator and Governor of New Jersey, doing as Lloyd would say, “God’s Work.”
Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) –Jon Corzine bet $11.5 billion on European sovereign debt in his bid to rebuild profits at MF Global Holdings Ltd., almost twice the net amount disclosed to investors, and relied on short-term hedges that left the firm exposed to larger losses if they couldn’t be rolled over. The firm’s Oct. 31 bankruptcy filing, the eighth-biggest by a public company in the U.S., led to at least 1,066 workers losing their jobs, disrupted commodities markets and undermined investor confidence in future brokers. The trustee liquidation MF Global’s broker-dealer said more than $1.2 billion in customer money may be missing, and the company is being investigated by regulators and the U.S. Justice Department.
About $200 million of the missing funds have been found at JPMorgan Chase & Co., the New York Times reported, citing people briefed on the matter that it didn’t identify. MF Global had an overdrawn account at New York-based JPMorgan in its final days, the newspaper said. The funds were transferred before its bankruptcy filing, it said. Neither Corzine nor anyone else at MF Global has been accused of any wrongdoing. (Of COURSE not.)
But, here’s the thing: In the recent Vanity Fair (May 2011) article, it’s being reported that Paulson and Corzine did not get along. And I never know what to think when I’m reading Vanity Fair, because it has such a liberal bent. 
What is more important to this Nobody is the question of WHY are all these former heads of Goldman Sachs being picked by our Presidents to run the United States Treasury? I mean…I don’t know much, but aren’t investment bankers more talented at risk-taking and trading stocks?
Don’t we need more of a person that can manage our budget?
Is that why they like to play with the taxpayers money? Are they all dreaming of some big blockbuster “world on stock market” steroids? Are they just using the taxpayers money for their own fun and profit? 
And here’s what bothers me the most: Robert Rubin was a former Goldman Sachs Co-chairman. He became Bill Clinton’s Secretary of the Treasury. When Steve Friedman, the President of Goldman Sachs in the 1990’s, was going to retire, he went to the White House to ask Robert Rubin (who was Secretary Treasury at the time) advise on who should he pick to replace him, and Robert told him to pick Paulson and Corzine— so he did.
Wikipedia:
Robert Rubin and Stephen Friedman assumed the Co-Senior Partnership in 1990 and pledged to focus on globalization of the firm and strengthening the Merger & Acquisition and Trading business lines. During their reign, the firm introduced paperless trading to the New York Stock Exchange and lead-managed the first-ever global debt offering by a U.S. corporation. It also launched the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (GSCI) and opened a Beijing office in 1994. It was this same year that Jon Corzine assumed leadership of the firm following the departure of Rubin and Friedman.
This very important story was only reported here in the States as a sidenote. Our media is obsessed with the election.
What we should be paying attention to is, who’s going to be the next Secretary of the Treasury, because I don’t know about you…when you have a Congress that can do insider trading, what better partnership could you possibly have than the x-chairmans of the biggest investment firm in the United States, sitting right on your couch every day?
Lloyd truly believes in going beyond the world of banking, he’s out to be God. Helping global warming, and the babies. I’d like to see the great things he has done, for $67 million dollars–wouldn’t you?
If history repeats itself, Lloyd will have a seat at the White House sooner than we think, and if he’s anything like his predecessors, the little nobodies of the world, are doomed. But the Gods of Goldman Sachs and their political friends, are happy, because they are “doing God’s work.”
The God– whose name rhymes with “Need.”
Nobody Flashes the New Royal Yacht
Nobody Flashes
Nobody is keeping an eye on our rich planetary rulers, and I am pleased to inform my British readers that the 1776 American Revolution, didn’t do much to harm the bloody old Monarchy of England— if you are reading about their current state of affairs.
While the Brits took the ruling power from their Kings and Queens long ago, (something we should do with OUR now President Kings) they let them keep their almost obscene wealth if they would only keep up the cultural traditions of Britain. You know, plant a few trees, kiss a few babies, dress up and smile. Wear the Crown Jewels. Rulers like to show off, even George Washington put on his best clothes to pose for his pictures, and if you are going to compete with the latest oil Sheik in Dubai, you’d better put on that show.
And what a glorious big show it is! England’s “Humble” new royal couple, William and Kate, is now spending millions to refurbish that dusty old castle in London, Kensington Palace, to make room for the royal couple’s future royal daughters. 
If the British Muslims populations, or the upcoming financial disasters caused by the EU imploding makes them feel like just getting away from those measly lowly subjects, Prince Williams can load the Royal family in the Royal helicopter, and fly them away to their new $125 million dollar yacht, which will be the third largest luxury yacht in the world when finished
It’s called the Future Ship Project of the 21st century (FSP21) because it runs on solar power, and, of course the old fashion electric because everyone KNOWS solar power isn’t what it’s cut out to be.
No doubt Prince Charles will be planning a few trees on deck, and calling it his ‘baby’, and Nobody Thinks Prince Charles has watched the movie “2012” maybe just one too many times.
They say the taxpayer won’t have to pay for this, that “corporations” are picking up the tab, although, the “corporations” picking up the tab are not identified, because the crowd at St. Paul’s Cathedral would storm the yacht with bad body order, something that the sun would just make worse.
That kind of smell stays for years.
Prince Charles is thinking like a true Royal, and soon, the British will feel great pride as they watch the Royal family, taking very expensive vacations all over the world, while they sit in front of their TV and remark how wonderful it all is.
Long Live…the Queen! )And she IS living long! 
Having said that, Nobody Wonders—who owns the top TWO luxury yachts? And did corporations pay for them, or the American Citizen?
Or are all the governments merging quietly with the “corporations”?
Did BP oil fund the Royal yacht, and if they did, wouldn’t that be a hoot?
So, do the British citizens care about the spending habits of their rulers? Nobody Wonders but me.
The Good Greedy Rich VS The Bad Greedy Rich
Nobody’s Opinion
Let’s talk about the rich, shall we? How DO they get that way? Is it just hard work? Haven’t we been told that in America, if you work hard, you will be rewarded? If that’s the case, why is it that most of our politicians are not only rich, they are getting richer? They hardly work at all. When was the last time Nancy Pelosi invented or produced anything?
What happened here?
According to Joseph E. Stiglitz of Vanity Fair;
Virtually all U.S. Senators, and most of the House of the representatives, are members of the top 1 percent when they arrive, are kept in office by money from the top 1 percent, and know that if they serve the top 1 percent well they will be rewarded by the top 1 percent when they leave office. By and large, the key executive-branch policymakers on trade and economic policy also come from the top 1 percent. It should not make jaws drop that a tax bill cannot emerge from Congress unless big tax cuts are put in place for the wealthy. Given the power of the top 1 percent, this is the way you would expect the system to work.
So, it seems we have two sides of greed: good greed, and bad greed. How do you tell the difference? I have an easy answer: If they are plundering, not producing, they are bad.
Long ago, when mankind first came out of the sand holes of Afghanistan, the only way to get rich…was to plunder and steal, and that’s exactly what Machmud of Ghazni did. (see picture) He built an army, and plundered his way around Afghanistan. He burnt all the villages down, stole their crops, and made himself King. Then he built himself some really spectacular palaces, and if you were really nice and he liked you, he’d throw pearls in your mouth.
Machmud wasn’t interested in occupying the countries he invaded, he just taxed his own country to death to pay for his plundering escapades.
I’m sure they really appreciated that.
In the city of Kanauj, India, in the year 1010, his army murdered all the inhabitants, destroyed 10,000 temples, pocketed gold, silver and jewels and captured 55,000 slaves and 350 elephants.
The malicious act of plundering hasn’t gone away, has it? Men still love to plunder..and the politicians have made it into a work of art.
Barack Mahmud Hussein Obama (probably a direct descendant of Machmud on his father’s side )— a man whose own Presidential reelection will cost over one billion dollars in 2012, wants to plunder the rich. After all, the poor are being taxed to fight the wars, which are now being fought, we are told, to spread “Democracy, Freedom, and McDonalds.” We are so much in debt that, as the saying goes, you can’t get ketchup out of a cotton candy, so Obama wants to go after the gold, silver and capital gains tax of the rich.
And one really big rich guy just died—Steve Jobs. 
From The Rich Times:
Mrs. Jobs is likely to pay $1 Billion in estate taxes after the passing away of Steve Jobs. He had already put shares that he owned in Apple ($2.05 billion) and Disney (worth $4.74 billion) in a trust in order to avoid probate taxes. If Apple’s late co- founder left his estate to his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, the family won’t be liable for the 35 percent estate tax until she dies or gives money to others, according to estate planners.
If Powell had decided to stick with the stock then she may even have been taxed on the 3.8 percent levy that the American government is planning on unearned gains. Under U.S. law, the trust can sell the shares and incur taxes only on the appreciation since Jobs’ death — a gain of about $338 million. If Jobs had died in 2010, when there was no estate tax, his heirs would have faced the capital gains tax on his entire investment profit if they had sold. That provision lapsed in 2011 when the estate tax was reinstated.
Nobody Knows what her readers think about this, but it seems, if a man makes a product, that is a benefit to the world, he should be able to pass his wealth on to his children.
The politicians as we have learned are becoming billionaires in office, working with the top 1 percent, affecting laws, and getting knowledge of insider trading. They are not good greedy producers, but bad greedy plunderers. Our personal Congressional/Presidential Machmud has merged with Goldman Sachs, Freddie and Fannie, and the Federal Reserve, and has managed to plunder the whole world of untold trillions.
Machmud would have thrown pearls into all their mouths, and then..
Plundered them.
Have we got a Machmud Trojan Horse in the White House? 
Nobody Thinks we should open his mouth, and look for pearls.
Nobody Gets Email: Changes ARE Coming!
Nobody Gets Email
This was another favorite this week, I have no idea who the author is, but it was probably taken from somewhere, and now it is going around the world.
This Nobody still pays bills by check, and I dread the day that all transaction will be online, when banks will just reach into your accounts and take what they want. And bartering will be the new ‘money,” because “cash” will be gone.
And that’s a whole nother’ blog…
(Thanks to Pattie)
*****
There is nothing political about this email. It simply points out very probable changes that are in our future.
CHANGES ARE COMING —-
Whether these changes are good or bad depends in part on how we adapt to them. But, ready or not, here they come.
1. The Post Office. Get ready to imagine a world without the post office. They are so deeply in financial trouble that there is probably no way to sustain it long term. Email, Fed Ex, and UPS have just about wiped out the minimum revenue needed to keep the post office alive. Most of your mail every day is junk mail and bills.
2. The Check. Britain is already laying the groundwork to do away with checks by 2018. It costs the financial system billions of dollars a year to process checks. Plastic cards and online transactions will lead to the eventual demise of the check. This plays right into the death of the post office. If you never paid your bills by mail and never received them by mail, the post office would absolutely go out of business.
3. The Newspaper. The younger generation simply doesn’t read the newspaper. They certainly don’t subscribe to a daily delivered print edition. That may go the way of the milkman and the laundry man. As for reading the paper online, get ready to pay for it. The rise in mobile Internet devices and e-readers has caused all the newspaper and magazine publishers to form an alliance. They have met with Apple, Amazon, and the major cell phone compa
nies to develop a model for paid subscription services.
4. The Book. You say you will never give up the physical book that you hold in your hand and turn the literal pages. I said the same thing about downloading music from iTunes. I wanted my hard copy CD. But I quickly changed my mind when I discovered that I could get albums for half the price without ever leaving home to get the latest music. The same thing will happen with books. You can browse a bookstore online and even read a preview chapter before you buy. And the price is less than half that of a real book. And think of the convenience! Once you start flicking your fingers on the screen instead of the book, you find that you are lost in the story, can’t wait to see what happens next, and you forget that you’re holding a gadget instead of a book. (Nobody reminds you that they will also be able to control what you can get easier.)
5. The Land Line Telephone. Unless you have a large family and make a lot of local calls, you don’t need it anymore. Most people keep it simply because they’ve always had it. But you are paying double charges for that extra service. All the cell phone companies will let you call customers using the same cell provider for no charge against your minutes.
7. Television. Revenues to the networks are down dramatically. Not just because of the economy. People are watching TV and movies streamed from their computers. And they’re playing games and doing lots of other things that take up the time that used to be spent watching TV. Prime time shows have degenerated down to lower than the lowest common denominator. Cable rates are skyrocketing and commercials run about every 4 minutes and 30 seconds. I say good riddance to most of it. It’s time for the cable companies to be put out of our misery. Let the people choose what they want to watch online and through Netflix. 
8. The “Things” That You Own. Many of the very possessions that we used to own are still in our lives, but we may not actually own them in the future. They may simply reside in “the cloud.” Today your computer has a hard drive and you store your pictures, music, movies, and documents. Your software is on a CD or DVD, and you can always re-install it if need be. But all of that is changing. Apple, Microsoft, and Google are all finishing up their latest “cloud services.” That means that when you turn on a computer, the Internet will be built into the operating system. So, Windows, Google, and the Mac OS will be tied straight into the Internet. If you click an icon, it will open something in the Internet cloud. If you save something, it will be saved to the cloud. And you may pay a monthly subscription fee to the cloud provider. In this virtual world, you can access your music or your books, or your whatever from any laptop or handheld device. That’s the good news. But, will you actually own any of this “stuff” or will it all be able to disappear at any moment in a big “Poof?” Will most of the things in our lives be disposable and whimsical? It makes you want to run to the closet and pull out that photo album, grab a book from the shelf, or open up a CD case and pull out the insert.
9. Privacy. If there ever was a concept that we can look back on nostalgically, it would be privacy. That’s gone. It’s been gone for a long time anyway. There are cameras on the street, in most of the buildings, and even built into your computer and cell phone. But you can be sure that 24/7, “They” know who you are and where you are, right down to the GPS coordinates, and the Google Street View. If you buy something, your habit is put into a zillion profiles, and your ads will change to reflect those habits. And “They” will try to get you to buy something else. Again and again.
All we will have that can’t be changed are Memories.
Nobody Gets Email: The “Entitlement” Programs
Nobody Gets Email
As you all know, I think the emails being passed around the world are the “little” people crying out the injustices because the state controlled “media” never lets us on their programs. I wish there was a Cable TV channel where the “nobodies” of the world could rant and express their ideas and opinions, but there isn’t. So, we send emails. Here’s another favorite. It expresses how most of us feel about the government saying that Social Security is an entitlement that they can bestow on us or not. Unlike food stamps, we paid into it. If it’s a Ponzi scheme (and it is) and you’ve spent our money, then give back what you took from us. What? You don’t have it? You spent it on wars and handouts to big banks, and welfare? The United States Government is too big to fail? Just watch it. (Thanks to Pattie) ****** Keep passing this around. Until everyone has read it. Something to think about: The only thing wrong with this calculation is they forgot to figure in the people who died before they collected their Social Security. Where did the money go? This was sent to me, I’m forwarding it because it does touch a nerve in me. This is another example of what Rick Perry calls “treason in high places.” Get angry and pass it on. Subject: I paid in, didn’t you? Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security, but you employer did too. It totaled 15 % of your income before taxes. If you averaged only 30K over your working life, that’s close to $250,000. If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours and your employer’s contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the government pays on the money it borrows) after 49 years of working you’d have $892,919.98. If you took only 3% per year, you’d received $26,787, and it would last better then 30 years (until you’re 95 if you retired at age 65) and that’s with no interest paid on that final amount of deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4%, you’d have a lifetime income of $2, 976.40 per month. The people in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever had. Entitlement my ass! I paid cash for my Social Security insurance! Just because they borrowed the money doesn’t make my benefits some kind of charity handout! Congressional benefits —free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacations, unlimited sick days, now that’s welfare and they have the nerve to call my Social Security entitlements? We’re broke and we can’t help our Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, or Homeless. In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey, and now Pakistan, home of bin Laden..literally BILLIONS of dollars! Our retired seniors, living on a fixed income, receive no aid, nor do tey get any breaks, while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$ and tons of food to foreign countries!
They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement program even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives, and now when it’s time for us to collect, the government is running out of money? Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? Imagine if the “Government” gave us the same support they give to other countries? Sad isn’t it? 99% of the people who read this won’t have the guts to pass it on…I just did. (Nobody ditto’s that.) |
Newt: Eliciting the Future American Plantation
Nobody Remembers
In the last Republican debate, Newt Gingrich pretty much laid out his get election strategy. He’s going to go for the Mexican/illegals/let em stay here and have babies and vote for me/vote. Since Jews, and all the minorities, will vote for Obama, Newt knows he can’t count on the “White” majority to put him into office. Too many of them think he’s a Rhino (like me) and will just stay home. And the black vote? Forget it.
So Newt is doing what he feels is his best chance of getting the Mexican voter into the Republican camp. Evidently he’s been setting up his own outreach to Hispanics for years. Whites now comprise 64 percent of the population of 310 million, but in 2041 they will represent less than 50 percent of a population of 438 million, and a much smaller share of the young. Hispanics will outnumber blacks two to one in the future, and someday, America will be Mexico. If you’re a White Elite politician, you’d better learn Spanish fast.
While it seems heartless to send people who broke the law, came into this country, and had children–back to the country where they came from, is it not just as heartless to make the native citizens PAY for the illegal’s medical care, schooling, and college tuition while their own kids don’t get the same chances? Is it fair to bring in the babies and pay for them on the backs of the natives? It would be as if American’s moved into Afghanistan, while the natives were made to work and pay for our kids, our homes, our food, and our educations. 
The mostly white working class is being made to pay for this. Just because it makes politicians feel good about themselves, and gets them elected, doesn’t mean it makes it right.
I don’t actually think, if Ronald Reagan was alive today, he would think the invasion of Mexico would have been a good thing at all, not if the end game was the destruction of the America we all know. But then again, Micheal seems to think he’d be just like Newt. I was disappointed in Micheal’s short evaluation. Or maybe this was taking out of context.
To me this “good-hearted I’m a Christian and I would never hurt families” stuff is just another bunch of political meandering. Millions of American families can’t find work because of the jobs that have gone to illegals. Worker permits could have been worked out a long time ago, but the fact is: BOTH parties want the invasion of Mexico. Bush set up the “free housing” program, as well as Barney Frank. Both parties are trying to attract the masses of poor from Mexico. And when they all finally get here, and the whites are gone…Welcome home…Sweet plantation. ” Swing Low…sweet chariot…coming forth to carry me casa….”
America, is the bread basket. We..grow food. We need men and women to pick that food. And it’s going to get a lot bigger because the population of the planet is going to grow.
Nobody sees any difference in the slimy way Newt is trying to make us all feel guilty. …How could we do that to the old people? And take babies from their mother?
He sounds JUST like Nancy Pelosi. In fact, they’re almost twins.
A Speech For the Century
Nobody Wins
You do NOT want to miss this speech, given by Tony Abbott in Australia’s Parliament today, it’s a masterpiece…and it will make you ashamed as an America, to look at our President’s face as he listened to it. It’s all you need to know about the man. It’s a speech he should have given his own people, but what we have gotten instead is an ignorant brat of a nincompoop. I don’t care how well he can read a teleprompter, even Jimmy Carter would have had more grace in this moment.
And sadly, it took this incredible speech from our British friends to rise to the moment to show America, what it should fight to restore again. Western civilization, and the great legacys it has built, is at this moment of time, on the chopping block.
Do not miss this speech. It’s one for the centuries.
(Thanks once again to my favorite Aussie, amfortas, for sending the video)
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.
