Nobody’s Opinion: “President Obama” said one thing today, that I had to agree with. When disaster strikes, people’s hearts connect and sympathize. Okay—he didn’t say that, but something very esoteric like, which meant the same thing. (Take note: this was a first for me, and probably the last as far as it comes to agreeing with him on any subject.)
As we all watch the horrible tragedy in Japan, we all know, deep down inside..it could happen anywhere, at anytime. It could happen to us tomorrow..and so when Obama took the opportunity of the tragedy in Japan to come out and talk smack about how it’s the oil companies that have kept us behind in the drilling, and then had his bacon-boy, Bill Clinton, second that notion, you had to remember that…
Nobody’s Perfect:
Obama is strictly a politician, and so like a true politician he took the day to attack the Republicans with using the budget to play politics. Here’s a fact that drives me crazy that nobody ever brings up. Whenever the Democrats are doing something slimy…they right away vehemently accuse the Republicans of doing exactly what they are doing…it’s maddening.
Nobody Cares:
Hillary came out today and said that U.S. Air Force “assets” had delivered “some really important coolant” to a Japanese nuclear power plant. The fact that it was a false statement, and no such thing had happened, was completely ignored as..just a little mistake. Sort of like the time Hillary claimed that she had been shot at getting off a plane in Iraq, when a picture came out and she was getting flowers from a little girl. She just WANTS it to be, so she thinks in her mind…it happened. When you lie so many times, like Hillary, after a while, I guess its all just a big blur.
Nobody Knows: There was actually good news today, coming out of Time Magazine. Bill Keller the executive editor of Time…has a little rift going on with Arianna Huffington, of the Huffington Post. He said this:
Huffington has discovered that if you take celebrity gossip, adorable kitten videos, posts from unpaid bloggers and news reports from other publications, array them on your website and add a left-wing soundtrack, millions of people will come.”
And he’s right. How this came out of somebody that works at Time Magazine, Nobody Knows.
Nobody’s Fool:
Here’s a guy Nobody really likes: Rand Paul said this today about the government putting their big brother noses into our houses.
—“Light bulbs, refrigerators, toilets, you name it. You can’t go around your house without being told what to buy,” Paul said. “You restrict my purchases. You don’t care about my choices. You don’t care about the consumer. “Frankly, my toilets don’t work in my house, and I blame you and people like you who want to tell me what I can install in my house,” Paul said. He added, “I find it insulting.
Everybody else does too, Paul—thanks for saying it.
Nobody Wins: when your President tells people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. He said “No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahir Square.” That’s because they would…die. Nobody would like to remind the President that he is more than welcome to go to China and try to get himself that job.
Nobody Flashes: Global warming caused this earthquake along with the moon. And if you believe that, then Nobody has a Charlie Sheen poem to sell you on E-bay.
Nobody Wonders:
It seems we have two problems coming at us having to do with radiation. Japan has two nuclear facilities already releasing 1000X the normal rads. Tonight, it is being reported as quite serious. So, Nobody Wonders what is going to cause more cancer…Japan’s Meltdowns or the TSA screenings here in the United States? It has just been released that those screening machines are 10X higher than expected.
What can we do about it? Right now, I’m going to meditate in my little Japanese garden.
Wisconsin lawmakers sent a bill eliminating most collective=bargaining rights for the state’s public-employee unions to Gov. Scott Walker on Thurday, setting a precedent other states could follow in the broadest move in decades to curb unon rights.
This was my favorite video from the Wisconsin Union Strikers. It seems Sly and the family Stone have been revived and booked for a encore. The “cop” is a stripper (I don’t know, I kinda doubt that one) and the deer could be anyone ….but by the way he plays the horn, I’d guess he’s from the Fred Flinstone’s “Find a Mouse and Kill It.” By now, the American hero, Scott Walker, has stunned in this order: Jesse Jackosn, Jesse Jackson Jr., Joy Bearyourheart, and Michael Moore…who was so beside himself, he attacked Oprah on National TV with a pair of handcuffs, that no doubt, he got off that stripper cop.
Micheal also took it upon himself to make himself the head of the NEA and cancel all the schools all over the country for Friday, in a day of celebration.
What? You don’t think that most of the kids in America will not be celebrating becuase Micheal Moore said they could take the day off?
Jesse Jackson acts like these people are going to…float down the Mississippi and Sting like a bee…not necessarily in that order. But, before you feel sorry for them, here’s some statistics.

Dear Mark Zuckerman: Please, Hack the Patent Office and Help the Little Inventor
Nobody Cares
I hope, that I am going to get off politics for one day and write about the movie, “The Social Network,” since I just watched it today for the first time. (That’s me and my friend Pattie.)
The movie was fascinating from the point of —is it right to “steal” an idea? I know something about this since I have gone threw the whole patenting process myself, and since Zuckerman actually, sort of..stole the FACEBOOK “idea” and was TIME’S MAN OF THE YEAR, in 2010, …so what does that say about ethics in business?
That’s basically what the movie was about. Did this genius kid, STEAL the idea from others? To set the question — up short from the movie…this is the argument: Zuckerman gets dumped by his girlfriend, and in a huffy snit, goes back to his Harvard dorm and “hacks” into all the schools many files, which includes all the school pictures. His friend gives him an algorism in order for him to achieve what he wants to do. I would have argued, his friend should have been at least half owner in the intellectual property, because Mark did not pay him as an outside contractor. In fact, his friend (Eduardo Saverin) financed him in the beginning..but he didn’t have the idea, so he agreeed to be the business partner in the company. And it grows from there.
Mark puts up a sort of contest on Harvard’s computers: He puts up two pictures and everyone has to say whether the person is HOT or NOT. He calls it FACEMASH.
You would never know that Mark’s mother was a psychiatrist, because evidently she wasn’t a very good one, having raised a kid with no cares as to who he hurts from his antics. For a genius, he was pretty stupid in human affairs, or you get the feeling, he really doesn’t care. A narcissistic genius with the emotional IQ of a warthog.
BUT…in today’s world of billionaires, good thing he was an “ambitious warthog” and didn’t care whose feelings he hurt with the contest, because he upset so many people, that the Harvard computer system crashed, leaving him open to three other boys who come up with an idea to take the FACEBOOK (Yes, there was college Face book already) and make one for Harvard. Mark, tells them yes, then goes home, and with his vast abilities as a software programmer, takes the idea and runs with it.
He sends them email after email…to say he’s busy. They sue him, his best friend who financed him in the beginning sues him…because the Napster guy comes in and with his street smarts and gets him Angel financers, without whom he could not have gotten as big. In the end, everyone gets a big piece of the pie, which seemed pretty fair.
There is no doubt the guy deserves his fame. He had built a plug in for the MP3 player Winamp that would learn your music listening habits, then create a playlist to meet your taste. Microsoft and AOL were interested. And he was smart to ignore them.
This brings me to an important point: Zuckerman was from Harvard. Bill Gates, went to Harvard. Had these guys been at any other place, this movie might not have been made. As the movie points out, it’s who you know, and even Zuckerman knew that as the first scene points out. Up to now our patent system has protected all the individual inventors that don’t go to Harvard. That’s about to end if we don’t act.
The Senate is about to vote on No. S. 23.
The so-called “Patent Reform Act of 2011” will destroy our patent system by setting up a system that disadvantages small inventors in favor of large corporations, makes it easier to infringe patents, easier to challenge patent rights in administrative proceedings and in the courts, and makes it more expensive for inventors to defend their patents.
So many of our greatest minds are about to be put out in the pasture. It’s already difficult to get an invention patented. If this passes, you might as well not even try…unless of course, you go to Harvard and can hack into the patent office. (Mark?) The multinational companies are out to make sure, you either work for them, or you don’t.
***
FACEBOOK, was made movie of the Year, and Zuckerman was made Man of the Year, because our government is using FACEBOOK as the new media to cause revolutions all over the world.
Kind of ironic. Freedom in Cairo, made by a Jew.
Jesse Eisenburg did a great job playing Zuckerman. He doesn’t have a FACEBOOK page because he said he doesn’t want to post trivial stuff abut himself. But Zuckerman, is helping his not so good image, with what else? A brand new puppy.
He’s just upped his IQ by ten.
So, call your senators and tell them to vote NO on the Patent Reform Act of 2011. It’s more important than you know.
You have seen all the interviews on every network, with the perfect Charlie Sheen, but you haven’t seen this one: Inmate Lance Mckenzie interviews Charlie from the Yamhill County Jail:
*****
Lance: Hey Charlie, you’re a big hit here man…all the inmates love ya, bro.
Charlie: I’m on a quest to claim absolute victory on every front Lance, thanks.
Lance: So, the guys here want to know if your show, “Two and a Half men” is about two guys and a dwarf…they don’t let us watch it here.
Charlie: I’m proud of what I created. Why wouldn’t I be? I exposed people to magic. I expose them to something that they otherwise would not see in their boring normal lives. And I gave that to them! That sucks man, that they won’t let you watch the Tiger Warlock in action man…really.
Lance: Yeah, it’s pretty boring here. Sometimes it’s so boring you just want to die, know what I mean? Hey Charlie, can you send me some of your magic whatever…got any cobics? Maharishi? Chocolate chips?
Charlie: Dying is for fools. Amateurs.
Lance: Well, I miss my drugs man…you think you could score me some?
Charlie: I probably took more than anybody could survive. I was bangin’ seven-gram rocks and finishing them because that’s how I roll, because I have one speed, one gear. GO! I’m different, I have a different constitution, I have a different brain, I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man.
Lance: Wow…tiger blood, I had some of that stuff once…I had a hard time walking.
Charlie:Shutup! Hey, I’m clean. I can’t help you out there Lance. I am on a drug, it’s called ‘Charlie Sheen.’ It’s not available cause if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off, and children will weep over your exploded body.
Lance: Wow man…that doesn’t sound too good. Haven’t you got anything else? Purple Haze? I wanna coast…you know what I mean?
Charlie: Yeah, I mean what’s not to love about me Lance? Especially when you see how I party. Man it was epic. That run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of ’em just look like droopy-eyed aimless children.
Lance: I once had some stuff with another Charlie ..he was real strange man. He kept talking in crazy rants, kept saying things like “Helter Skelter.” over and over again. Did you ever party with Charlie, Charlie?
Charlie: DUH! Yeah, probably… I think that’s where I first heard, “I’ve got poetry at my fingertip.” Charlie used to say that. I’m still alive, which is pretty cool. I got rocket fuel that lives in the tip of my saber. But I’m dealing with fools and trolls, out here Lance. I’m dealing with soft targets, and it’s just strafing runs in my underwear.
Lance: That’s not good man.
Charlie: Hey Lance, It’s been a tsunami. And I’ve been riding it on a mercury surfboard.
Lance: Well hell, man, why don’t you hook me up with some of that Charlie Sheen stuff?
Charlie: I can’t man., you borrow my brain for five seconds and just be like “Dude, can’t handle it! Unplug this bastard!”..it fires in a way that is perhaps not from this terrestrial realm.
Lance; I could use some new underwear– Charlie, in fact, you could send me some…you know what I mean? Score some of that terrestrial realm stuff for me bro. Just fold it over.
Charlie: Score, like in win? We win so radically in our underwear before our first cup of coffee, it’s scary. People say it’s lonely at the top, but I sure like the view.”
Lance: Charlie, you’re a real lumberjack, you know?
Charlie: Thanks bro. I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars, and people can’t figure me out, they can’t process me. I don’t expect them to. You can’t process me with a normal brain. People who aren’t special. People who don’t’ have tiger blood and Adonis DNA. You must be special Lance.
Lance: Yeah, I love ya man. After I saw that cool tatoo you got, I went out and got one too.
Charlie:Shut up! What’s it say?
Lance: Lick me
Charlie: That’s cool man. Shut up! You know why I can say that? Because I’ve a 10,000 year old brain and the boogers of a 7-year- old. I’ve got poetry at my fingertips. Lick me. Love it. Hey, gotta go Lance…my goddess’ are WINNING!
Lance..Okay…keep on winning bro! Bye.
***
Lance gets out in sixty days, in case there are any lumberjacks out there who might want to catch up with him. Lance wins the Nobody’s Perfect contest for this week, because Charlie Sheen, as the whole world now knows…is perfect. …..DUH.
(Nobody Makes this stuff up, and all in good fun!)
Nobody Wins: Mitt Romney is learning how to be a politician, something he lacked in the last election.
He implemented Obamacare in Massachusetts before Obama did it. For a man who knew he was going to run for President again, that was remarkably stupid.
Here’s some of the statements he is coming up with lately:
“We were one of the laboratories of democracy. Our experiment wasn’t perfect—some things worked, some didn’t, and some things I’d change. One thing I would never do is to usurp the constitutional power of states with a one-size-fits-all federal takeover.”
“I would repeal Obamacare, if I were ever in a position to do so. (Nobody emphasises— There’s the key to the politician’s, get-out-of-my- promises-for-free card.) My experience has taught me that states are where healthcare programs for the uninsured should be crafted, just as the Constitution provides. Obamacare is bad law, bad policy, and it is bad for America’s families.”
“The right answer is to believe in America—to believe in freedom, free enterprise, capitalism, limited government, federalism—and to believe in the constitution, as it was written and intended by the founders.”
To which this nobody says: You didn’t know that two years ago Mitt, and HOW old are you? How in the world can we believe that you even have an IQ of an Abalone in heat?
Wait…this is just politics.
Who in their right minds would trust a guy who uses American people as guinea pigs in a laboratory? That’s how they look at us. As rats to experiment with. They must have programs at Harvard designed just for that. They use to call it social studies, now it’s social engineering, Harvard 103.
The fact is: Romney is very much a part of the Harvard rich elite incubator—all of our recent Presidents have come out of it. So, if it’s really true that the Yale/Harvard rich are running the country, than no matter what we do, Mitt will be the next President.
UNLESS..there is an attack, and Jeb Bush runs. (Don’t be so pessimistic Joyanna— Okay, I have dyspepsia tonight, I’ll admit it. All that butter.)
Mitt Romney wants to be President, and he seems willing to spend his entire fortune. He’s got the Bushes behind him, but like the Bushes, Mitt just cannot stop being a big Rhino. The fact that he spent millions of his own money last time to be President, and this time is going to cost him a lot more…makes you wonder…why?
His father was the head of American Motors, and Mitt was named after the owner of Marriott, who was his father’s best friend. This guy has a plutonian spoon in his mouth, a Harvard faculty hooked to his nose, and the road to further globalization is his destiny.
Nobody is saying he is not a nice man, it’s just that “We the little people” have been forgotten with the Harvard babies. Daddy Bush, Clinton, George W., Obama,…all come from the Harvard Presidential incubator. One more is not going to help.
Mitt’s failed plans of Universal Health Care cost the good Massachusetts people a bundle. So, I figure— save the money for your Presidential run, Mr. Romney. Pay back the poor people you swindled with your Health Care Program…and THEN run for President.
Nobody’s Opinion: Last week, I saw this baby and her parents on our local news program. A nicer couple you could not even imagine, and so it’s no wonder that baby is so full of laughter.
What was more important than the baby is…the father couldn’t find a job. He was a professor of American History, and that paper that the baby is tearing up in this video, is the father’s rejection letters. It a sad comment on the way America is being forced to change, and how our universities are dominated by the liberal plans to globalize the world, and downsize America, and American History is being dumped for international studies.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not doing well with these changes. Tonight for instance, the family had planned to meet at Red Lobster for the Lobster Fest. I had been staring at the commercial all week. Okay, I had been walking around saying, “I can’t WAIT…lobster!” I was dreaming of melted butter, and how I was envisioning myself savoring the butter for at least a minute…in culinary heaven. Michael Moore could not have beaten me to the plate, thats how excited I was. The reason I get so giddy is because, like many Americans, if I get Lobster once year, I feel lucky.
So, we pull up to the biggest Red Lobster around, and it’s Sunday, and it’s closed. Out of business. You’ve got to be kidding.
What? Did BP not come through with the check? Picture it: it’s the side of a major highway, fifteen other restaurants are around it, and..it’s closed.
On a Sunday.
Like all good sensible and hungry Americans, we went next door to a Pasta House…where they were ….out of all steaks, and a lot of other stuff. Out of steak. A restaurant, in a high-earning area, off a major highway..on a Sunday…out of meat. That was a first for me.
We all got pasta, what else?
The conversation was of course, Charlie Sheen. Everyone was laughing at “Adonis” and “Winner” and how bad you must be when even your porn star leaves you..and then my brother said something I could not believe. “Face it, Americans are all too spoiled.”
Excuse me? I maybe get lobster once a year…and I’m spoiled? Maybe I took it wrong, but he said it like we need to downsize. Hey, you don’t start family arguments in a restaurants with a brother who you only see once in a blue moon.
The subject went back to Charlie Sheen, which is my point. The changes coming to America, have been slow…and easy to ignore. I was concerned when the major malls fell into the weeds. But to have the local restaurants running out of food…?
And that’s why I’m posting this lovable babies laugh. We still have our families. Right?
I know in my heart that this man is going to find a job. God gave him the most lovable baby, who because a star on YOUTUBE, and therefore, in a roundabout way…this man will get his gift. It’s corney but true. When times are bad, family is your shelter. And I plan to spoil myself with them as long as possible.
Nobody Reports: Can you believe this? Al-Jazeera is reporting REAL news according to our Secretary of State, Hillary (I got #$%) Clinton. And here in America, we do not get good news anymore, she says. It doesn’t exist. We have too many commercials, and talking pundits. Too much “democratic” debate there for you Hillary?
(I stopped watching Seseme Street some time ago, Hillary, what are YOU watching? )
Not only that, but she thinks more people here in America are starting to watch Al Jazeera because it gives the “news.”
It’s official. Lady Clariol is doing way too much damage.
Just who do you think she is talking about here? Everyone knows: FOX .
The good news is: it means the liberals are losing in the media department, so therefore they have to send out Hillary Clinton, the woman who said (I don’t remember) about two thousand times before a grand jury, to tell us all we are not getting the facts. We need MORE stations like Al Jazeera.
Oh sure…Al Jazeera is filled with “news.” I can just imagine.
The bad news is: This means Obama the Muslim-in-Chief, wants to get Al Jazeera put on all our cable channels, so that (his) plans to make this a Muslim Nation can continue.
This statement was so insane, you can only wonder…what next? Is Hillary going to start telling us all that maybe the women over here should start wearing burkhas?
Oh…right.
They will have to get rid of O’Reilly first, and that guy will not go genlty into that good night, nor will Glenn Beck, or Cavuto…or Hannity, or Palin.
Face it Hillary..the only people that are going to turn on Al Jazeera here are Muslims.
Now I know why you have stopped wearing makeup,—you want to be a star on Al Jazeera. You don’t want to ‘offend” your Muslim comrades. It seems you have still forgotten the fact that you are an American woman.
Hillary…were you EVER an American woman?
“I don’t …recall.”
I thought you’d say that.
The day I am forced to pay for Al Jazeera on my TV cable subscription, is the day I will cancel. ..or maybe…that’s the plan.
Nobody Knows if Donald Trump is going to run for President…but if his actions lately are any concern…I’d say it’s looking pretty good. He just bought Microsoft’s Paul Allen’s 757 jet, for $100 million dollars. That’s twice as big as the 727 he has now…and he says it’s quieter.
Is he expecting a bigger crowd on his plane? Media? Senators? Wine and dine the right people?
He also recently offered to fix up the White House. That’s right. He called Obama and told him, he was tired of them throwing parties out on the lawn with an old beat-up tent, and he would take his own money…$100 million, just to get something decent so our country doesn’t look like it’s bankrupt. Obama didn’t take him up on it. (Where’s that Skinput?)
I’d say he’s planning on winning with that one. Why else would he offer it? Trump was saying, “Get ready to leave chump, I’m gonna be moving in.”
At the recent C-PAC meeting in Washington he said: “I am pro-life,” he said. “I am against gun control.”And in one of his biggest applause lines, Trump vowed to end the nation’s health care law: “I will fight to end Obamacare and replace it with something that makes sense for people in business and not bankrupt the country.”
Yes. Yes. and Yes.
Trump also pledged not to raise taxes if elected. (They ALL say that.)
I don’t know. He’s looking a lot better than anyone else to me at the moment, unless of course more people jump into the fray. But he says what he means…and that’s refreshing to this nobody. I like the guy. If we are going to have a rich man in the White House, might as well be someone who has some class, and is not afraid to stand up to anyone. And if he promises to get rid of outlawing Edison’s light bulb…..I believe, he could win on just that alone.
I just wanted to tell everyone here that I’m sitting in for the incomparable conservative blogger Doug Powers this week..until he gets back from Las Vegas…
Which may be never! (just kidding…He is expected back on Monday)
Nobody Flashes Email of the week: If you wonder why every time you call your computer service numbers, they are always Indian, when you read this, you will realize the reason Bill Gates wants them all on his payroll.
Sorry Obama: It’s going to take more than NASA to get the Muslims to catch up. It’s their stupid religion getting in the way, and here’s proof.
Enjoy! Or not.

Twenty-five thousand years ago, haplogroup R2 characterized by genetic marker M124 arose in southern Central Asia. Then began a major wave of human migration whereby members migrated southward to present-day India and Pakistan. Indians and Pakistanis have the same ancestry and share the same DNA sequence.
Here’s what is happening in India: The two Ambani brothers can buy 100 percent of every company listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and would still be left with $30 billion to spare. The four richest Indians can buy up all goods and services produced over a year by 169 million Pakistanis and still be left with $60 billion to spare. The four richest Indians are now richer than the forty richest Chinese.
In November, Bombay Stock Exchange’s benchmark Sensex flirted with 20,000 points. As a consequence, Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries became a $100 billion company (the entire KSE is capitalized at $65 billion). Mukesh owns 48 percent of Reliance.
In November, comes Neeta’s birthday. Neeta turned forty-four three weeks ago. Look what she got from her husband as her birthday present: A sixty-million dollar jet with a custom fitted master bedroom, bathroom with mood lighting, a sky bar, entertainment cabins, satellite television, wireless communication and a separate cabin with game consoles. Neeta is Mukesh Ambani’s wife, and Mukesh is not India ’s richest but the second richest.
Mukesh is now building his new home, Residence Antillia (after a mythical, phantom island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean). At a cost of $1 billion this would be the most expensive home on the face of the planet. At 173 meters tall Mukesh’s new family residence, for a family of six, will be the equivalent of a 60-storeyed building. The first six floors are reserved for parking. The seventh floor is for car servicing and maintenance. The eighth floor houses a mini-theatre. Then there’s a health club, a gym and a swimming pool. Two floors are reserved for Ambani family’s guests. Four floors above the guest floors are family floors all with a superb view of the Arabian Sea. On top of everything are three helipads. A staff of 600 is expected to care for the family and their family home. (see picture)
In 2004, India became the 3rd most attractive foreign direct investment destination. Pakistan wasn’t even in the top 25 countries.
In 2004, the United Nations, the representative body of 192 sovereign member states, had requested the Election Commission of India to assist the UN in the holding of elections in Al Jumhuriyah al Iraqiyah and Dowlat-e Eslami-ye Afghanestan. Why the Election Commission of India and not the Election Commission of Pakistan? After all, Islamabad is closer to Kabul than is Delhi.
Imagine, 12 percent of all American scientists are of Indian origin; 38 percent of doctors in America are Indian; 36 percent of NASA scientists are Indians; 34 percent of Microsoft employees are Indians; and 28 percent of IBM employees are Indians. For the record: Sabeer Bhatia created and founded Hotmail. Sun Microsystems was founded by Vinod Khosla. The Intel Pentium processor, that runs 90 percent of all computers, was fathered by Vinod Dham. Rajiv Gupta co-invented Hewlett Packard’s E-speak project. Four out of ten Silicon Valley start-ups are run by Indians. Bollywood produces 800 movies per year and six Indian ladies have won Miss Universe/Miss World titles over the past 10 years.
For the record: Azim Premji, the richest Muslim entrepreneur on the face of the planet, was born in Bombay and now lives in Bangalore . India now has more than three dozen billionaires; Pakistan has none (not a single dollar billionaire).
The other amazing aspect is the rapid pace at which India is creating wealth. In 2002, Dhirubhai Ambani, Mukesh and Anil Ambani’s father, left his two sons a fortune worth $2.8 billion. In 2007, their combined wealth stood at $94 billion. On 29 October 2007, as a result of the stock market rally and the appreciation of the Indian rupee, Mukesh became the richest person in the world, with net worth climbing to US$63.2 billion (Bill Gates, the richest American, stands at around $56 billion).
Indians and Pakistanis have the same Y-chromosome haplogroup. We have the same genetic sequence and the same genetic marker (namely: M124). We have the same DNA molecule, the same DNA sequence. Our culture, our traditions and our cuisine are all the same. We watch the same movies and sing the same songs. SOURCE
Pakistan is a ferociously Muslim country; India is predominantly Hindu.

Wait…that’s not what he said. Here is what he DID say.. We have no choice, global citizens…we are to perform MORE..(not sure doing what, he doesn’t say.)
Nobody Wins: The Muslims in the Middle East like to attack the West’s decadence and capitalism..so tell me, how come their leaders, love to buy so many…decadent things?
Gaddafi’s son, Saif-al-Islam has a million-dollar beautiful mansion in London, and who knows where else?
It’s said by many that his dad is worth over 600 billion dollars.
And then there’s Teodorin Obiang…the agricultural minister of Equatorial Guinea. His salary is $6,799 dollars a year. His little country is the third largest producer of oil in Africa.
He has a 35 million dollar mansion in Malibu, a 33 million dollar jet, and is building a super yacht worth 380 million dollars. Poor Teodorin is only worth, according to Forbes, $600 million dollars.
He needs to catch up. How about a house in the Hamptons?
What do dictators in the Middle East all have in common? Oil. They take the majority of the profits…their people live on less than a dollar-a-day, and the US sends them billions every year for access to it.
Can anyone tell me WHY?
Condoleezza Rice once said that Teodorin Obiang was “a good friend.” I hate to say this: but we should wonder why we have so many billionaire and millionaires in our Congress. And also why they are willing to spend up to a billion of their own money just to get in a job that at its highest only pays, $400,000?
If Michael Moore wants some National Treasure, he needs to look no further than Pennsylvania Ave.
Nobody Reports– that a great sex icon passed away today, and I think we ought to at least mention the fact that she once described herself as — ‘a teetotal mean-spirited Right-wing conservative Christian bigot’.
They don’t make women like that anymore.
I first saw her in “Gentlemen Prefer Blonds” (yeah guys…I know you remember her in THE OUTLAW– go ahead…) and I thought to myself, that if there was one woman who could hold her own against the most famous sex goddess of all time, it was Jane Russell, and not just because of her special body parts. There was real intelligence in those eyes. Jane played the “smart” gal from little Rock in that movie.. against the dumb blond, and if I was a man and had to pick between the two to be a mother of my children… it would have been the one with brains.
DNA is important…just ask Charlie Sheen. (Wait…bad example…how about Secretariat?)
Not that Marilyn was stupid, far from it. Anyone who could act that stupid was near genius as far as I was concerned…she was just more messed up.
But, Jane had a rough life too, it seems. Married three times, and divorced twice. She couldn’t have children due to a botched abortion at the age of eighteen, so she adopted three of her own. Later on in life she helped set up an International Adoption Agency so people here could adopt from other countries. She was against all abortions after her own, the rest of her life. She almost died, from the procedure.
Once she was asked what she thought of Hollywood liberals such as George Clooney, Susan Sarandon, and Sean Penn, she said, “I think they’re not well.”
Now, that’s class.
Just for fun—-imagine Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell (looking as they did in this 1953 picture) coming down the steps of the Oscars in 2011…and presenting the award for best costume? Or better yet—Supporting Actor?
Christian Bale would not only have forgotten his wife’s name, but probably his own. Is it me? Or did the old sex goddesses look more…real and…fun…and alive?
As for the other picture? I just thought we needed a more current picture of a famous derriere.
Joyanna—you are classless for showing that picture of our First Lady! You know what? I bet Jane would get a big kick out of it—this one’s for you Jane!
Nobody’s Perfect: This week, we have a contest that isn’t even close, at least in my mind. Charlie the “Adonis DNA” Sheen, VS The Oscars.
***
Let’s start with the Oscars: Everyone was complaining about what a bomb it was, but really…considering the list of movies, I’d say they did a lot with nothing—which is pretty much what Hollywood is all about. Putting up pictures of “Gone With the Wind” was a BIG mistake. Let’s compare the movie of the year 2011, “The Kings’ Speech” to Gone with the Wind.
***
Right. Let’s all remember just how far we have come!
***
The highlights of the show was the short flick at the beginning, but it went downhill from there. We will all remember the dresses, the lame jokes, the standing ovation to Billy Crystal (remember, these people have no class) and Billy Crystal telling everyone how Bob Hope gave him the finger.
***
My respect for Bob Hope just skyrocketed.
***
Red dirty-looking hair was in: cussing…still in: men dressing up in drag..still in: and tasteless songs about Australians not dancing..still tasteless: and my very favorite memory was when Christian Bale forgot his wife’s name. He finally gets his due, and then forgets his wife. Drudge had it up, then took it down- fast.
***
Nobody Remembers the good old days, when Johnny Carson actually had GOOD writers. I really suspect the writing has been outsourced to India. They should have just ask the audience to tweet them some jokes. We would have gladly waited.
***
But that was nothing compared to the ongoing imperfections of Charlie Sheen.
***
Have you ever seen such a supreme example of egomania outside of Washington D.C.?
***
Charlie Sheen has done more porn stars than Hugh Hefner if he had lived twenty lifetimes.
***
Charlie’s act isn’t new. Hollywood is filled with these people, but Charlie is the king. He is a drug addicted, sex addicted, bloviated, human excrement bag of walking frisky powder, who is right now, in pain (from addiction withdrawals) and screaming bloody murder because a drug addict’s life is expensive, and he just got cut off. He might be “dry” for all of a month, but don’t expect it to last. He’s addicted to porn, drugs, and himself, not necessarily in that order.
***
So what does he do? Like most megalomaniacs, when they are caught red- handed doing something really bad, he goes on the offense. He puts the ball back in the people he abused court. According to Charlie, his life is his own, and they have no right to fire him. From their point of view, when you almost die of an overdose, the bosses have to reconsider, don’t they?
***
Charlie now wants $3 million an episode.
***
I once turned on his show for a few minutes..and frankly, the local drunk on the corner would be more appealing. But that’s it. I don’t’ watch it because I don’t think he is a talented as his dad, and…he’s boring. But, somebody is watching it, and so what? Somebody is watching Human Target too, and good thing you are not in that time slot, Charlie.
***
Charlie talks about “violent love” and “passion” and then when asked how much crack he used to take in one go Sheen said: ‘I was banging 7 gram rocks and finishing them because that’s how I roll.”
***
Yeah, he rolls all right— pornagraphic cocaine marbles are clunking in his head, and by the looks of him, even when he sleeps.
***
He is telling America that they were trying to kill his family because they were taking away his salary, but when they asked why he spends so much money on cars and houses he said: ‘Blame the studio for giving me this much dough when they knew who they were giving it to. This is on them’.
***
At least he didn’t blame it on Bush.
***
But, here’s what I reallythink. Charlie was fired for going on Alex Jones’ radio program. Alex Jones believes 9/11 was more involved than the official story, and so does Charlie Sheen.
That’s what put him on the “out” list in Hollywood..not his porn, his drugs, his ego,..but…his politics.
***
That’s my Nobody’s Opinion.
So, Charlie–take a lesson from that other famous x-drug addict, Robert Downy Jr., who actually said some funny things at the Oscars, making fun of himself AS an ex-druggie. Or call up Hugh and offer him your services. Better hurry…the Oscar for porn king will be up for grabs soon! That’s a part your Adonis DNA is fit to die for…
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.
