Nobody’s Fool: I don’t know about you, but the LAST thing I want to hear from an X-American President and his wife is how they are going to spend all their remaining years devoted to bringing education, and jobs to Afghanistan women. What about AMERICAN woman?
What a bunch of holy gumballs!
That’s right. I said gumballs. I spent a few hours today blowing gumballs off my driveway. I hate gumballs. I know that mother nature gave the sweet gum tree a special gift in this world.. ” God said, “Be fruitful and multiply!” and it does…all over my driveway and backyard. My sweet gum tree is right over my driveway, and so far this year, I have manually swept my entire driveway at least four times trying to rid it of gumballs. My neighbor (whom I’m always trying to impress) did not believe me when I told her, that already this year, I have cleared the driveway of gumballs many times, so THIS time, I got out my loudest blower. I wanted to make SURE she heard it.
I cannot for the life of me, figure out any good purpose for a gumball, besides to drive me crazy, and tonight that’s just what George W. Bush and his wife Laura did in their interviews with Greta on Fox.
First, let me say this: This nobody does not think these two are together anymore. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Like Bill and Hillary, they make appearances together, but then if you follow them daily, they are almost never together…not even in interviews. George had his interview first. (see here) He said he (meaning we) was going to stay in Afghanistan and save the Afghan women. George Bush is now the new Gloria Steinem…the great feminist himself. Free them from their bondage. It’s a noble cause, and his buddy Karzai is helping him set up programs in his multimillion- dollar global Bush ‘think tank’ enterprise in Texas.
It was heartwarming.
Then Laura came on and told us that economically women HAVE to work over there, otherwise the country cannot become a democracy. They both mentioned Iraq, BUT– they are out to save Afghanistan.
Where’s my blower?
Now, we have Barak Obama, George W. Bush, and Laura Bush, concerned about making democracy in Afghanistan. How George and his wife are going to change thousands of years of fanatical religion is beyond comprehensions. Sure, we’d all love to see it happen, but is that really what our X-President should be doing while we are drowning in debt?
All I can say is, our former President and first lady were blowing holy gumballs of Afganistan concern out of their mouths every other second. It almost makes me feel like making a mock gumball head of thorns to send to them.
I’m sorry. It’s just…all so political, isn’t it?
We are learning…when a President pontificates the most NOBLE of reasons for justifiing fiddling in other nations, there is almost always another reason, which is the real one, which they can’t tell you, so it just makes them look good to make up some humanitarian agenda.
Obama is trying to take credit for sending democracy through Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt. George Bush is trying to tell us that he will be responsible for saving the country of Afghanistan, almost as if he didn’t want to be left out of history…or upstaged.
This nobody says:…Before you go blowing holy gumballs of benevolence, telling us democracy is going to shine in Afghanistan, you guys,…How about saving America first?
Remember…America? Or….have you forgotten her? As I remember…she served you well.
Nobody Gets Email on Saturday Night: I have been getting so many great emails during the week, that I think I’ll have to post them more than once a week. It seems such a pity to let these gems of wisdom and enlightenment go without notice. So, keep an eye out for more from me.
Here’s one by Bill Cosby…who was not only one of the funniest men on the planet, but a real American, who maybe SHOULD run for President!
(Thanks to Pat)
UPDATE: I have been informed from better sources than me, that Bill Cosby never said this stuff. Well, okay. Sorry bout that. BUT…it’s a good platform for somebody to run on…any takers?
******
Bill Cosby has a great way of “distilling” things. Looks like he’s done it again!
AMERICA NEEDS A CANDIDATE WITH THIS PLATFORM!!
I have decided to become a write-in candidate for President for the year 2012… Here is my platform:
1. Any use of the phrase: ‘Press one for English’ is immediately BANNED! English IS the official language: Speak it, or wait outside our borders until you can.
2. We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we’ll do NO exports. We will use the “Wal-Mart’s” policy, ‘If we ain’t got it, you don’t need it.” We’ll make it here and sell it here!
3. When imports are allowed, there will be 100% import tax on it coming in here.
4. All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the Southern border of the United States. (six month tour) They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTH BOUND aliens.
5. Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn’t put nothin in, you AIN’T getting nothin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
6. Welfare. Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades.
7. Professional Athletes–Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you’re banned from sports…For life.
8. Crime—we will adopt the Turkish method, I.e., the first time you steal you lose your right hand. (Nobody says…Bill is really getting into it now!) There is no more ‘life sentences.’ If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
9. One export of will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the EXACT price of a barrel of oil.
10. All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately lower the taxes. When disasters occure around the world, we’ll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the deicsion as to whether, or not, it is a worthy cause.
11. The Pledge of Allegiance will be said EVERY day at school, and every day in CONGRESS.
12. The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, ete.
My apologies if I have stepped on anyone’s toes…NEVERTHELESS…
Now, THIS is how you handle a room full of liberal diva’s.
Not long ago, Bill O’Reilly was on The View, and said something that Whoopi didn’t like, so the ever impudent Whoopi walked off the set. This time, as you can see, she slammed down the race card, and Donald Trump handled it superbly. When she said it was because Obama was black, he just said “no.” Then she lost it.
Good for Donald. He knows it’s Obama’s weak point, and he went after it. Like I said once before…they couldn’t catch Al Capone on all the crimes he committed, so they got him on tax evasion.
It makes sense. It’s KISS simple. Stop Obama at the gate. Don’t even let the horse run. Disqualify him.
Let’s hope the other Republican candidates get on board and hammer this in 2012.
Nobody Knows—how much influence do our popular sitcoms have on us when we go to the ballot box to vote? How much influence does the government have with the various television networks and the contents of their programming? And most importantly, does money change hands to producers for certain political messages?
***
Before we even knew that Hillary Clinton would be defeated by a black man named Obama, we fell in love with the most awesome President that we had ever witnessed on our TV’s. He was perfect, and he was black. President David Palmer, (now the All State Insurance Man) did everything right. He was tough, honest, fair, and every episode we watched, got us turning off our TV and saying, “I wish HE was our President!” 24 was the biggest sitcom on TV, and came at the most propicious time, because candidate Obama had the black vote, but he needed so many whites to cross over to him to get the nomination.
The Jack Bauer sitcom, was watched by die-hard conservatives, and it’s no stretch of the imagination that the sitcom President Palmer gave us complete trust that Obama would be a great President, like the President Palmer on TV. Give the black guy a chance. Look at David Palmer.
Boy, were we suckered.
Jack Bauer hooked us by the nose and lead us right into socialism.
Coincidence?
Kiefer Sutherland, the actor who portrayed the ultra-conservative Jack Bauer is the grandson of Tommy Douglas, the politician who got Universal Health Care passed in Canada, and the actor himself has said he likes the system of socialism, which his character Jack Bauer, would have been not so pleased about. Kiefer was also the producer.
Coincidence?
Last night, on another sitcom called, The EVENT, we also have another black President, and wouldn’t you just know it, in the last episode he is dealing with a nuclear meltdown and disaster. This black President is also, like David Palmer, honest, wonderful, brave…etc, etc….all the things Obama is not. And we are seeing that he is willing to risk the death of a million of his own citizens in order to…save the planet. A concept they want you to think is sane.
I was personally shocked to hear a President, even on a sitcom, say..””Well of course I would sacrifice a million people to save the planet?”
Uh….can’t we even talk about this?
***
Nobody Knows if these sitcoms are being purposely written in a highly entertaining way, in order to mold the people into accepting that our President is not the weak, incompetent, often times malevolent, raciest man we have come to know, but the brave, bold, and wonderful black President we are seeing on our popular sitcoms. Nobody thinks this stuff is no accident.
BUT…what worries me, is not so much the propaganda of liberals in Hollywood trying to shore up the poor image of our black President— but the fact that last night THE EVENT was all about nuclear accidents, and the black sitcom President was seen…shaking Japanese officials hands. They had to have filmed this before the accident.
Coincidence?
Nobody wonders if the powerful and elite, knew that the real ‘earthquake event’ was coming.
If you go on the website of THE EVENT…you will read this about the fictional black President, Martinez.
“Moral and idealistic. Hugely popular with the American people and around the world, President Martinez wants to be a new kind of President, working toward a new America. He’s committed to honesty and runs the first truly bipartisan administration in recent history. Born to Cuban refugees in Miami, Florida, President Martinez is very proud of his Afro-Cuban roots. He is a graduate of Yale University. A lover of music, he had a drum set installed in a sound proof room in the basement of the White House, which he plays to relieve the worst stress….”
Yeah, I know. Obama is under so much stress he plays golf, and has big parties where he can listen to great drummers and singers. Obama doesn’t need a PR firm…he has Hollywood movie stars playing up his image.
Somewhere they want you to believe that Obama is President Martinez, (getting the Latino vote too!) and David Palmer all rolled into one sweet, magnificent man. …and he is a “new kind of President.”
Well, I have to agree on that. He’s new alright. And he is working for a new America.
I suggest we watch the sitcoms before the next elections..to find out if the American people even survive, and if in the next sitcom, the President has to become a dictator to “save the planet.”
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 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.
Nobody’s Opinion: She calls herself a Commonsense Constitutional Conservative, a die-hard Republican, and a staunch flag-waving, patriotic American. She can hunt, fish, write, kill, skin and cook a moose, and work hard as a public servant every day with the utmost devotion to her beloved Alaska. She is an exceptional mother to her five children, and she can charm you with her beautiful face and unabashed ability to look damn good in high heels.
Sarah Palin, is by all means, the quintessence of an American woman–the real deal. She also calls herself a conservative feminist…born from the fire of the frontier American woman who helped build this country–a woman, who at the tender age of eleven, knew she was destined for great things.
After you read her book, “America by Heart” you realize, Sarah Palin is all that you want her to be. Grounded, upbeat, positive, sweet, smart, and centered like a North Star (in her own words) to the good graces of her religion and her family. Even if she never becomes our President, she has our thanks for just being herself and giving us her thoughts, prayers, and inspiration.
Having said that: Newt Gingrich could have written this book, because, besides the few personal stories of her relations with her children, it’s mostly a book about America, and very short on what she would do if she could, to get America back on course.
In other words, it left something to be desired for those of us who want her to fight for it…the Presidency that is: a bit more than she has.
We have all seen just how good Newt Gingrich can talk the American dream…but most of us realized he is a part of the globalization, social engineering, Washington entrenched Rhino’s that have made a mess of the country. Will Sarah keep herself true to her own inner gut, or will she take the same course of the elite Republicans that have had the most power in the last decade? Will she break from them?
We don’t know. She talks highly of them all: McCain, the Bushes, and Romney. But maybe that’s just a strategy.
We need to hear some “ideas” on what she would do to put us on the right course. I’d like to see a little more Chris Christie in Palin..but I don’t think we will.
Like Obama, Sarah came at us out of nowhere, almost it seems to SAVE the Republican Party at the last minute, because that’s exactly what she did. She was hand-picked to make the race close. I don’t believe anything in politics is a coincidence. It seems by anyone who is used to this game, they ran John McCain to lose, and then introduced Sarah to the nation, to run in 2012.
And that’s the question here: Sarah Palin, while she likes the tea party people, doesn’t say much about them in this book. She also doesn’t think much of the “birth certificate problem” either, which right away, makes me want to say..”Uh..isn’t THAT in our Constitution Sarah? You care about the Constitution don’t you?”
Will she insist on Obama’s showing a legitimate background check before he runs again?
Nope– don’t expect it.
And this is when you realize…Sarah is…a really good politician. She’s not showing her hand, she is in the game to bluff, or hold em’, or fold em’, and she will stay nebulous, as all good ‘politicians’ do..always honing in on us her almost perfect image.
I believe, she wants very badly to be President. There have to be some pretty big players helping her out, because let’s face it—we are not seeing Mitt Romney getting the press, or running around the world, or getting prime time on Fox News, or getting his own TV show.
She has the glass slipper..from silent powerful backers…whoever they are.
In her book, Sarah picks some favorite American hero’s to emulate. Martin Luther King, John Adams, John McCain, and a man who has been ignored for much too long– Booker T. Washington. Just the fact that she mentioned this black hero, who most others do not even talk about, makes me have faith that, if she becomes President, she will do …all the right things.
So, can she win? According to the latest polls, Trump fared far better in a three-way contest involving Obama, Trump, and Palin: While Obama received 51 percent to Palin’s 40 percent in a head-to-head matchup, with Trump in the race Obama dipped to 48 percent, Palin plunged to 21 percent, and Trump received 20 percent.
And with the country over 70 trillion dollars in debt, (counting future debts) and falling off the edge…Sarah has a liability: she is not exactly strong on the financial side….not like Trump. Palin might have the big guys behind her…but she still has to convince some of us that she’s not just there to remind us where we have been…but where she is going to take us…her vision.
Sure, we all love America, and our great soldiers, our rich history, and our great American moral integrity…but this isn’t a romantic movie. This is real life, and while your momma told you love was all you need.. sooner or later, you figure out. —you can’t eat love. Survival comes first. And America is in a deep survival mode right now.
This nobody thinks Sarah needs to be a lot more like the great grizzly momma bears she talks about in her book:-women like Elizabeth the First, Golda Meir, and Margaret Thatcher.
So, take off your glass slippers Sarah…try being a little bit less of a politician, and a little bit more of a dangerous mama bear.
Sorry, I still think of George Washington on President’s day, no matter how many ‘Presidents” want to steal his glory.
Let them all get on a horse and lead men to battle if they want to be included.
This is a picture from Tom Hanks great HBO series on John Adams. If you have never seen this wonderful movie, put it on your bucket list.
George Washington carried a little book around with him called, Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior… to guide him in his life. The lst rule, went like this:
Every action done in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present.
Now…watch this video, of a mob attacking Fox News reporters for doing their job, to realize that maybe we should make Washington’s book mandatory reading in our schools.
HA! Okay…I know…won’t happen. How about just posting the rules on the doors of IHOP?
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.
