Nobody’s Perfect: Stealing: The Rich VS the Poor
Nobody Perfect:
Famous-Barr. Maybe you haven’t heard the name. It was a big department store that used to be a favorite place to shop here in St. Louis. Every single Mall outlet for miles around in the Midwest had a Famous-Barr anchored at one end. They were one step up from Sears and J.C. Penny’s and just one step down from Macy’s. In fact, they probably took most of Macy’s customers away.
Macy showed them. They put Famous Barr into the dustbin of history. That’s saying something for taking over the first department store in the United States to have air-conditioning.
Famous-Barr, originally owned by the May Company, had a big office building downtown..where it employed literally hundreds of people. I use to go downtown St. Louis to met my old girlfriend for lunch who had a good paying job there. Many an afternoon was spent in the Famous-Barr restaurant chatting about boys over French Onion soup. It was the best in the city.
A few years ago, when I was feeling rather poor, I used to go to the nearest Famous just to try clothes on for fun. I couldn’t afford any of them, but it gave me a lift just to try on something new. Once in a great while, I wanted to buy something, and I was always shocked that you could never find anyone to help you. In the whole huge place, you had to search desperately for someone to ring you up. Cameras’ were watching you..but no people.
One day, around about 2001, I asked a lady at the perfume counter if anyone ever stole stuff from them.
“Oh yes,” said “Once a week, four big burly men come into the perfume department, and stack as many boxes of perfume that they can carry, and just walk out the door.”
“You’re kidding!” I said. “Don’t you have Mall security?”
“Yep. They can’t do anything, and they always get here too late.” The attendant didn’t care at all. In fact, she was used to it.
Now, according to experts, one out of eleven people steal: in fact, Twitter has made it a favorite Friday night pastime. (See Video)
During the four weeks leading up to Christmas, an estimated $1.8 billion in merchandise will be shoplifted this year, according to The Global Retail Theft Barometer, a survey of retailers worldwide. That’s up about 6 percent from $1.7 billion during the same period last year. In the four weeks leading up to Christmas, retailers in the U.S. are expected to lose $5 billion in theft and other crimes. About 36 percent of those losses come from shoplifting. Employee theft represents about 44 percent. Vendor theft and administrative error make up the remainder.
Nobody Imagines what the economy would be like if all these people that are stealing, stopped.
Why do people steal? No morality. And it can be fun..to some a thrill. AND they all figure..if Wall Street can steal, why can’t they? Superficially, it’s a good point.
As we all know, the rich hardly ever get caught, and they steal big time. Except for Winona Ryder, who was caught on tape stealing $5,500 worth of designer clothes at Saks Fifth Avenue. Hopefully they let her keep that swan outfit, in her last movie.
How can all these people be stealing?
Our government turns a blind eye to stealing, unless you are one of the 99% that didn’t pay your taxes. But— over in Saudi Arabia, they are teaching 15-year olds that thieves who break Sharia law should have their hands cut off for a first offence and their feet amputated for a subsequent crime. Teenagers are presented with diagrams showing where cuts should be made.
If we had Sharia law here in the United States, not many people would be walking around.
I’m just saying.
When Time Magazine puts the window-smashing, flash-mob-stealing hoody person, as “Man of the Year” what can you expect?’—a President that works hard to bring the crime rates down?
No…government is going to do what it does best: Create the problem, then come in with the solution.
Something tells me, Nike’s aren’t going to cut it.
Stealing is now a Prime Time is any good time, national occupation for the rich, and the poor. 
The poor stole $1.8 billion this year just at Christmas, and the rich stole…trillions. The poor are bound to catch up. All they need is four more years of Obama.
The Final Global Colonoscopy
Nobody’s Opinion
I had a different plan this year for our annual Christmas dinner with the family. I was NOT going to express any opinions about politics, but instead…just ask for…everyone’s else’s opinion— something that is almost impossible for such a political animal like myself. Besides, my family pretty much looks on me as the “looney bin who was never committed” so I was determined to get in better graces by keeping silent.
My son’s great Christmas dinner was over, and we were all marvellously sleepy, and sitting around on comfortable couches, when I thought it was a safe enough time to cautiously take the step— I asked my brother:
“So,..do you think the country will survive?”
“I don’t care anymore!” he barked out. And he meant it. And then..he went into a good half hour of an angry citizen’s tirade. Most of the points made was how ruthlessly they destroyed Sarah Palin, and Herman Cain, and how he can’t get decent health insurance. He was afraid of Obama getting in again, and how Obama was just a puppet, and a few men run the world like chess pieces, and all Obama does is take vacations…etc., etc..”
“Calm down!” said his wife, Kimme. Then she looked at me and said, “We’ll just close up our house, move to the Cayman Islands, become bartenders, and come back in four years.”
She was serious. My brother and his wife have a D.J. business, and the economy has hit them hard…just like millions of other small businesses that are struggling.
Next year, we are being told, by dozens of experts, a great depression is going to hit the whole world. And the “elites” are not going to let this news go to waste..they are already priming the fear factors.
Christine Lagarde, the French women who was “chosen” so graciously to take over the IMF, after Dominique Strauss-Kahn was caught in a trumped-up “rape” in a hotel in New York, and then taken to jail and later released on either—there was not enough proof, or he handed over the right amount of money to the right politician (take your pick) —sits at the head of the class when it comes to more great threats of doom:
Part of the problem, she said, has been national calls for protectionism, making it “difficult to put in place international coalition strategies against it.” Lagarde added: “National parliaments grumble at using public money or the guarantee of their state to support other countries. Protectionism is in the debate, and everyone for themselves is winning ground.”
Interpretation: “We, the few elites that run this piggy bank, want the handpicked elites of the EU to control all 27 countries together. We want these parliaments to stop being pigheaded and hand over their countries to us..for us to control, because we know best. We also want England and America to send us more money.”
It’s every elitists most favourite new word: “Protectionism.” They use it as parent would to tell a child they are being “selfish.” for wanting to keep his own toy, and not “share” it with another child. Astonishingly, that’s how many of them look at us: as children to be ruled.
As Nobody Remembers, President George W. Bush said this very same thing about “protectionism” and how we must never go back to “protecting” ourselves. This was around the time he thought it was a good idea to put the “protection” of our ports in the trusting hands of the Muslims of Dubai— many of whom cannot be trusted.
The Americans knew enough to protest this insanity: It’s one thing to give the toy to another child, but not if there is a chance that the other child could destroy it. Everyone was shocked that the same man, who had stood on the site of the World Trade Center and rallied the troops, could even have the nerve to mention it.
Wasn’t that nice of him? So, what else don’t they tell us? This from Alex Jones:
The ‘52 Presidents of the Major American Jewish Organizations’ and their “Israel First” followers in the US Congress, State Department, Treasury and the Pentagon will push for war with Iran . If they are successful it will result in a regional conflagration and world depression.
The US and England will be the biggest losers from the Iraqi post war economic reconstruction. Of $186 billion dollars in infrastructure projects, US and UK corporations will gain less than 5% (Financial Times,12/16/11, p 1 and 3). A similar outcome is likely in Libya and elsewhere. US imperial militarism destroys an adversary, plunging into debt to do so, and non-belligerents reap the lucrative post-war economic reconstruction contracts.
(Like China, Japan, Russia…)
Could this man be right? Hasn’t the “I’m against all wars” Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, been getting ready for the last war in Iran? Is THAT why Obama and Michelle have been sucking up to our soldiers and the military this last year..something they so blatantly avoided in his first year of office? 
Could Ron Paul actually be right about Iran? Mmmmm….
My brother, who thinks “elites” rule, might have agreed that the chess pieces are being put into place in order to collapse the world economies, so that MS. Lagarde will finally be “forced” to get her wish: She can then put the final ‘international coalitions ‘ together.
Whatever that means.
Something tells me, whatever it means, it’s so dire, they know a world governmental dictatorship will upset us— so they will tell us at some later date, like after we’re all dead to spare us…pain and suffering.
How nice of them.
My brother ended his tirade with, “They Want a New World Order.” And then he said he doesn’t care if he dies, he is NOT going back in for another colonoscopy.
Little did he know, he pretty much summed up what seems to be coming our way— a global colonoscopy. Not that he cares. He can move to the Cayman Islands, which is a good thing. He won’t have to listen to his sister ranting all her opinions at the next Christmas family dinner.
Next Christmas…Nobody will be able to keep quiet.
Corporations are…People? Can We Put Them In Jail for Extortion? Uh..no.
Nobody Cares
I couldn’t believe my ears. Dana Loesch, the St. Louis Tea party supporter, has been bought out. She is dropping out of those lowlife tea party people, who she thinks will ruin the Republican chances of getting into the White House. 
I know some of you think I sound like a liberal sometimes, always complaining about the corporate world, and you think that I sound just like some sort of person that would go to Wall Street and protest.
Well, I did protest, at a tea party, here in St. Louis…with other ordinary folks, against our government, in 2009. Dana, I found out today was asked to help the tea party out. She was NOT one of its founders, as I’ve so often heard repeated. I remember hearing her that day, and was very proud of this young woman. No more. She is putting herself first.
And who can blame her? She has kids.
She got some big exposure for being on that tea party stage that year. Then Rhino’s who run the Republican party, grabbed a hold of all the tea party people, and now are saying…”Well folks, you are being very selfish if your two tea party favorites don’t get into the race. (Backmann and Santorum) You MUST vote for the Rhino we run…or else OBAMA WILL WIN!! That’s what Dana was saying today. The tea party needs to come to grip with the real world of “what is.”
Well hell, that’s the point: We don’t LIKE what is!
Rush Limbaugh just calls tea party people who are really Republicans dropping out to be independents— stupid.
We have…a two party system. Okay. But neither one of them stand up for “the people.”
I’m an independent, and millions of other people are, and we can never have a dog in the race BECAUSE of this very important fact that the Supreme Court gave corporations the right to be “people.”
I don’t think a lot of people realize that. And why should they?
You know, it was Rick Santelli, a stock trader on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange that started the “tea party” movement, which was pretty much the group of hard-working Americans who are tired of sacrificing their hard-earned money and getting slammed. Glenn Beck then grabbed them, and brought them to Washington, only later to dump them too.
So, why is Dana deserting the regular folks that help make her famous?
FOX NEWS. She has a big career if she just steps in line with the big corporations.
Nobody Thinks the big multinational companies have it over us, and they own our congress. GE is the prime example. What more proof do we need? 
It doesn’t matter HOW many elections we are told to behave. We can vote for the Rhino’s forever, and the individual citizen vote will mean nothing.
Unless we get this amendment to the Constitution, everything will stay the same.
This video is probably one of the most important ones I’ve seen this year. I HAD to post it.
Bravo, Bernie Sanders.

King Obama: A Perfect Tut
Nobody’s Perfect
Obama just couldn’t help himself when he boasted in an interview on 60 minutes that he was the fourth greatest President the United States has ever seen.
Not since Louis XIV said, “L”ett c’est moi” (divine right) have we heard a politician crown his own achievements before history. Okay, there was also Napoleon, who crowned himself. And Henry the VIII, and lots of other Kings of old. Obama is not the first megalomaniac to grace the historical stage by a long shot, but he is the certainly the most obnoxious the United States has ever seen. 
Yes, he states with great confidence that his administration has accomplished more than Abraham Lincoln, or FDR (Who actually did change the world) 
Really. Sure. Does he honestly think that he can compare himself to Lincoln, to FDR? To LBJ? Or even say he’s better than George Washington?
Okay, he might have done as much damage as FDR and LBJ (who did more than their fair share) but how a man who has taken a country onto the verge of a great depression, and collapse it—a man who is making us all be stripped searched at airports, and spied on with drones: a man who has spent us into so much debt he makes Louis XIV, who actually did put all of France into debt and starvation, look like a schoolboy.
Well…Could he be that delusional?
Yep.
To Obama, it was HE: who saved the Muslims and freed the Islamic world. Brought them into America. Gave them Twitter, and riots.
It was he, who singlehandedly killed the enemy…bin Laden.
It was he, who saved the old, the crippled, the sick, with Obamacare.
It was he who managed to give free abortions to the world.
It was he, who walked on water in Hawaii.
For that, he deserves a another $4 million dollar vacation, and a Christmas tree outside the White House proclaiming his name over Jesus. But that’s not all that he wants.
Obama wants his face on Mt. Rushmore so badly, he has sent his own statue to be in the same park in South Dakota. (see picture) Nothing like a subtle hint.
So, while many would suggest that being in the most powerful position in the world as President of the United States has gone to his head…I suggest he is not going to stop with just Mt. Rushmore: If he gets another four years, like FDR, his face will be everywhere.
He, being the man he is: wants it all. Remember, Bill Clinton didn’t want to leave. Obama despite what all he says, is not going out without a big fight…and it starts right here, he is claiming every move he makes to be divine.
Do you honestly think he ever wants to give that job up? King Tut has just shown his face.
Hannon Talks to the American People
Nobody’s Opinion
Some years ago, I was writing to various companies trying to get a “licensee” for my patented product. In every “inventor’s ” book I read, they all warned of the same thing to the lone guy trying to approach a big company. They warned that all the big companies have the “not invented here” syndrome. This basically means they spend millions of dollars every year to pay people to think up ideas, and so, if some outsider comes along, they will have to sign an agreement that says in long pages of lawyer gobbledygook, “We will look at your idea but we might have the exact same thing being developed at our company (which of course, they don’t have to prove to YOU.) therefore, anything you show us can be ours. And you will…get nothing.”
In other words, you give them permission to steal your idea by showing it to them. You see, if you work for Monsanto, and think up an invention that pulls all pollution out of the air, at almost no cost, that invention belongs to Monsanto. Even if you thought it up in your own time, and on your own dime.
These books always warned you to get at least a “patent pending” before you show your idea to any big company, and when my patents were pending, everyone talked to me. What they didn’t tell you is that if you actually GET the patent, nobody will call you at all. In fact, they won’t touch you with a Joe Biden handshake.
What does this have to do with Daniel Hannan’s great presentation on America?
While Daniel does not touch the subject of “patents” and inventions, he does lay out what happens when you get government taking care of free markets. He points out the way to wealth for countries is competition between them all, not financial markets controlled by unelected dweebs with good intentions. It’s also why when the big banks buy up all the little banks, and the big multinationals put the little businesses out of work, there is less competition. For example: McDonalds got out of Obamacare…how’s that going to work for you?
This Daniel Hannan speech was meant for all Americans. If you can find the time, it’s a great lesson for us all. Sorry I post him so much…I just think he is saying, more than anyone in America, what we all should be hearing from our leaders over here in the states.
As he basically says, America is the last hope. We MUST not give up on what the founders gave us.
Enjoy
(The speech is so good, it will feel more like ten minutes, really. )
Go Ahead…BUY the Bullets from China…
Nobody Gets Email:
I love it when my liberal friends send me stuff about guns. I own a shotgun, but I’d like to have one of these. Many of my friends who do a lot of hunting, have told me that bullets of any kind are getting hard to come by, so be careful what you buy…you might not be as lucky as this guy was.
****
Check this out….44 Magnum accident. First it was baby formula, then pet food, but now you should watch out when buying anything from China, including bright shiny ammunition.
A guy came into the police department the other day to ask a favor. He had a S&W 629 (.44 Mag) that he wanted to dispose of after a mishap at the range. He said there was a loud bang when he tested his new ammo (Chinese made) and the gun smacked him in the forehead, leaving a nice gash. When the tweedy birds cleared from around his head, the pictures show that what he saw.
Bet he never uses Chinese made ammo again! Looks like when the round in the chamber went off, it also set off at least two other rounds in adjacent cylinders. I would have hated to been the one that pulled the trigger on that one! Really good reason for not buying cheap ammunition, or anything from China. They are proving this statement to be true:
You get what you pay for.

Tebowing to the Kleptocracy
Nobody’s Opinion
Last week, everyone was talking about the Tumpster putting on his own Republican Debate with Newsmax. One after another—candidates were saying,”Uh..no..uh…I have to go to my hairdresser.” By the end of the week, the only two left standing, were Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.
Ron Paul had a date with someone named destiny, and Mitt was counting his money. Perry was…watching football.
But…out of nowhere, much to my Nobody surprise.. There they all were debating! Who knew? They were standing in front of two Obama lovers: Clinton’s George Stephanopoulos and Diane (I’ve never read Mark Twain) Sawyer, both whom asked leading questions, just it seems, to make all the candidates look bad.
If you didn’t catch the moment when Diana Sawyer whined about how Americans are obese and don’t eat right or exercise and what should the leaders do, then you missed it. Ron Paul pretty much told her it’s none of the government’s business. For me that was a definite highlight.
The fact that they put this on so quickly means that the last thing they wanted to do was have the American people get to see someone like Donald Trump, who knows what’s going on..to have any say so at all. And they might be right: He would have taken it over. Still, we would have found out more from him than George or Diane.
They all had some good moments in answers, but there’s no clear Secretariat here, and that’s why we’re all –Tebowing.
Nobody’s Perfect
Over in Brussels, Sarkosy and Merkel tried their very best to keep the European Union on that fast track to a non-representative government where no nation has sovereignty but..Germany. 
Uh…haven’t we been there before?
Germany – Europe’s biggest economy – was intent on changing the European Union’s treaty to enshrine stricter budget discipline and penalties for countries that failed to adhere to them, to ensure there could be no repeat of the current crisis. From the German perspective, only by reforming economies, cutting social programs can they survive.
Oh, that should go over well.
Nevertheless there was one man standing alone when it came time to vote. The vote was 26-1. Cameron of England said, “No thanks, England will remain England. ” and for that he got royally snubbed when he offered his hand to Sarkosy.
Nobody’s Perfect when you are the odd man out, and for once, this Nobody is extremely glad for what Sarkosy and Merkel consider to be a most imperfect vote.
Churchill would be proud.
But he wouldn’t be so proud of this act by Obama…
Nobody Knows
-How did Iran get a top-secret spy plane of the United States when obviously it wasn’t flying over Ahmadinejad’s head or it would have knocked him back into Satan’s hellhole? 
Obama is not concerned about it at all, and no matter how many terrorists Obama has killed, losing this most top secret drone erases just about everything else he wants to brag about.—Or maybe he didn’t “lose” it. Maybe he sold it, because he really is made at Netenyahu.
Let’s hope it’s a dummy.
And speaking of dummies and drones…
Nobody Wins—
When our own government is using drones to spy on its own citizens to help the local police. That’s what happened in North Dakota, and it’s disgusting that they are using drones on us.
Look for more drones here. I saw my first one at the tea party here in St. Louis in 2006. At least they didn’t pull out the lasers.
Yes, the police are going to use lasers on crowds. They don’t want you to blind a pilot with that, but it’s okay to laser protesters now? How about if we were all driving electric cars?
At least with water all you did was get wet— now you could end up with permanent blindness.
Add that to the list of tyranny. Obama continued attack on our rights: making it illegal to have your kids work on your farm, and telling churches who they can hire.
We are fast becoming Russia.
And speaking of Russia
Nobody Wonders 
“You cannot beat up and arrest hundreds of thousands or millions,” Navalny said in a statement from jail that was read out to demonstrators on Saturday. “We are not cattle or slaves.”He called Putin’s ruling party a collecton of “swindlers and thieves.” which struck a chord with millions disgusted by the ostentatious wealth of Moscow’s elite. (Our elites are very GOOD at hiding thier wealth or more would be saying that here.)
Hopefully when he’s finished with Russia, he’ll come help us.
Nobody Cares
In other news, we are finally going to get to hear the great Princess Chelsea Clinton speak. I was beginning to think she was either a deaf-mute, or spoke like Caroline Kennedy. I can’t wait to see that witnessing her father in the White House, didn’t damage her vocal chords. (Just kidding–she talked for her mother when she was running for President.)
I bet even Billy Bush is proud.
It pays to be the child of Presidents…you get to start out at the top! The 315,000 who dropped out of the labour market last month(a number which exceeded the 120,000 new jobs created his month) just stopped looking for one.
Nobody’s Fool
And this brings me to the last thought: The headlines tonight on Drudge is about a quarterback, named Tim Tebow praying. Before and after the game, he kneels and thanks to “Jesus.” A lot of people don’t like it: a lot of people do.
He also says one of the most important quotes of the century in my Nobody Opinion: He stresses that football is just a game and that God doesn’t care who wins.
That’s right. God doesn’t care who wins a football game. But you and I should care who wins this war of destruction on our freedoms and way of life. The world hs been plundered by a gang of elites rulers and plutocrats, and many of them, along with the top people in our country, are trying to form a Kleptocracy.
A Kleptocracy is a government that plunders from its own people transferring wealth by threat of force from commoners to the upper classes.
Think “global carbon tax” and that pretty much sums it up.
It’s not just the United State, or Russia, or Egypt, or China…it’s happening everywhere.
Mr. Tebow has it right. In any fight…God…really most any god, will give any man, any woman, and any nation the home-field psychological advantage every time.
We should remember that. Do we want the Arabs to have such a psychological advantage?
Do you want to Tebow to their god, because that’s what they will command of you if they win their plans of global domination.
God IS hope, that’s what Nobody Thinks.
Having said that…Nobody Remembers the last time Obama went to church with his family…do you?
He did today.
Obama must have been watching football. 
The ‘I Know Nothing” Song of ‘Jon the Don’ Corzine
Nobody Wins
Am I the only one who wakes up in the morning, turns on the news and cannot believe that in this 21st century, a prominent man, a man with a Masters degree in business, a man who was a governor, and a CEO of Goldman Saks, can say with a little nod, “I simply do not know where the money is, or why the accounts have not been reconciled to date.” when asked why he lost all his client’s money?
You would have thought he lost his son’s car keys instead of $1.2 billion dollars.
In the 19th century, Jon Corzine, would have gone to prison. Just yesterday a former Senator was sent to prison for trying to sell an old Senate seat so that he could have campaign money. He didn’t HURT anyone but himself, and he’s going to jail now for 14 years. 
And yet, Don Corzine takes money of hard working farmers, ranchers, and rural businesses such as grain elevators and feed mills and gambles it on Europe. He took a big risk with money he didn’t have and lost it all. He’s hurt, god knows how many people?
He knew EXACTLY what he was doing, and he got rewarded for it you can be sure.
The farmers were hit hard when they were cut off from the cash in the hedging accounts. This will affect food prices next year, as if they aren’t bad enough now. All he had to say is about that pain is, “I’m sorry.”
Tell me—how would you feel if you went to the bank to get all of your life’s savings and they told you, Well, we just don’t have it. Sorry. Next year, even more people in the world will starve, because Don Corzine “knew nothing.”
Nobody doubts for a minute that he did it on purpose…but why? To destroy the corn belt— the little farmer? To help George Soros? How much did he make from it? When he quit Goldman Saks he took over $ 400 million dollars with him.
But what do you expect? Consider his circle of—I don’t remember, I don’t know, and It depends on what your definition of IS is—friends. Haven’t we watched Bill and Hillary sit before juries and say, “I don’t recall” and “I was not aware” and “We couldn’t know” over and over and over again while being questioned about breaking the law?
Did we not just hear Eric Holder and his master Obama say the very same things about the Fast and Furious guns to Mexico scandal? None of them knew anything. “We didn’t know.”
If a bank robber said–when answering the question: “What did you do with the money you stole?” And if he said, “I’m sorry, I just don’t know.” Would the judge let him go?
They know nothing. And then, they walk away…untouched by any law.
But what do we know about this guy? We do know he spent over 63 MILLION dollars of his own money to become senator of New Jersey.
Let that sink in: $63 million to become a senator of a tiny little state.
He was on a number of committees on Banking, intelligence, Budget, energy, and natural resources. He’s for universal health care, gun control, mandatory preschool, and more taxpayer money for college. He’s for affirmative action and gay marriage. And he was Bill Clinton’s Presidential adviser, and was paying Bill $50,000 a month for some reason. He has also been to most of the Bilderberg meetings.
Stop. Bilderberg means he is in on the global engineering.
So, no matter where the 1$.2 billion dollars went to, one thing is scary. We had major floods year before last, that destroyed many farms in the Midwest. Now, whatever is left of the farmers will disappear.
The government wants to control all food, of course with Monsanto’s help.
One step at a time. Next: guns.
I don’t think the American people can just assume that our leaders are out to help us anymore. The few at the top have all been in the same small circle of power for too many years. And too many are being rewarded every time they bring down our great ecomny. There’s more to this than just pure greed. 
When the collapse comes, Gerald Celente says, they will start a war. And then all of them will say:
We just didn’t know this was going to happen!
How much longer are the American people going to keep buying that same old, I know -nothing song?
I pray…not long.
Nobody’s Perfect: Turkey VS Apple Juice
Nobody’sPerfect:
THE TURKEY: Right before the Thanksgiving holidays, Pamela Geller, who by all accounts is in most respects a sensible woman, warned the alarm that every American that eats a Butterball Turkey is in…danger. Unbeknownst to us, only the Butterball Turkeys are being “blessed” for their journey to be with 72 turkey virgins in heaven:
Halal slaughter involves cutting the trachea, the esophagus, and the jugular vein, and letting the blood drain out while saying “Bismillah allahu akbar” — in the name of Allah the greatest.
You can imagine the despair! Butterball turkeys have been served in my family since they started MAKING Butterball Turkeys. And the reason why we have preferred Butterball Turkeys to any other Turkey is because, all you have to do is put it in a pan, salt it, cook it, baste it, and VIOLA! Soft, tender, moist…and any fool can do it.
Also, the woman in my family are from a long line of..of…let’s just say we all cooked pretty much like Curly. So the less thinking involved in preparing the meal, the better. We’d spend hours arguing how exactly to boil water.
Okay, I’m confused. You have to kill the turkey to eat right? So, for that part, I think Pamela should either take it up with PETA (who are already on this) or try to turn us all into vegetarians because, you have to kill to eat any meat.
Unless of course, you like to hang out around the highway.
It’s the “blessing” Allahu Akbar that has her upset. And I agree. If you are going to include Muslim prayers then by golly, they should include Christian prayers, Hindu Prayers, Wicken prayers, and throw in some voodoo on top of it. After all, this is all about diversity is it not? Think of that poor turkey being condemned to abide in some Muslim hellhole with other jihadists who do nothing but continue the Bismillah blessing on his esophagus throughout centuries of purgatory! A Christian Turkey heaven would have him walking with peacocks, and in a Hindu heaven he could reincarnate into a politician…maybe even President! We’ve all seen it happen before.
I see her point. But last week didn’t stop with the bad news…no…we had bad —
APPLE JUICE:
ABC News reported that Consumer Reports tested 88 samples of popular brands of grape and apple juice sold in the U.S., including Welch’s, Minute Maid and Mott’s. The results revealed that 10 percent of the juices “had total arsenic levels greater than the FDA’s standard for drinking water of 10 parts per billion (ppb), while 25 percent of juices also had lead levels higher than the FDA’s bottled water limit of 5 ppb.” To our detriment, the FDA has limits for arsenic in water (including bottled), but no such regulations on fruit juices. Oz reported that apple concentrate comes from up to seven countries – 60 percent of it imported from China alone. –Chuck Norris
It’s really an imperfect world. It’s bad enough that they put fluoride in our water, and NOW we find out, since that doesn’t seem to be doing enough damage, they are putting arsenic in our apple juice, without the pretty lace.
Yes, our children are being poisoned by China, with the help of our FDA..who..say…they MIGHT look into it. I’d say that arsenic in our food, and mercury in our light bulbs..means SOME PEOPLE are trying to get kill US..forget the turkeys. They will eventually outlive us. We’ll all be dead.
They want to get rid of us..slowly. I mean…really…is this what they mean when they say we will all have to sacrifice?
Nobody is boycotting apple juice because I drank gallons of it last year, due to the fact that I had gall bladder surgery. Oh yes. When you have a rotten gall bladder they tell you to drink tons and tons and tons of apple juice….so I did.
And now, I find out why it works! It’s pretty much melts your insides. Maybe I should have made a cocktail of apple juice, coke and a menthol, and saved myself from an expensive surgery.
I did NOT buy a Butterball Turkey this year, but not because somebody stupid is making employees bless them with nonsense, but because—THEY ARE TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE!
So, who won the Nobody’s Perfect award for this week?
My favorite stooge…Curly, because that man cannot cook…I thought I was bad. I at least know enough to open the can before inserting it.
Bret Baier: Puts the Toy BACK in the Box
Nobody’s Opinion
According to the Iowa polls, Mitt Romney has once again been knocked out of first place, not by Herman Cain retiring, (due to about 250 million phone calls made to a ‘friendly’ woman) but by Bret Baier, doing the job that most reporters have forgotten how to do. (see video)
Herman pulled out, and frankly–I’m disappointed. He kept saying he wasn’t guilty of sexual affairs, and they were all lies, and I’m not going to let them get me…and ..Oh, well…I’m gone.
So, what’s that again? I thought you weren’t going to quit Herman?
Nobody bets it has something to do with keeping the money, but then, you know me…follow the money and you will see the reason behind most everything.
But, back to the race: Here’s where they all stand:
Gingrich, with support of 25 percent of likely Republican caucus goers, is seven points ahead of the rising Ron Paul, who’s at 18 percent. Mitt Romney drops to third, at 16percent, denting his previously armor-plated Iowa polling average. Romney’s support stood at 22 percent last month.
Nobody Thinks the reason Romney fell was due to this very interview. I was watching it in real time and saying…”You go Bret, yeah! You got him! What? He’s trying to browbeat you? Don’t let him do it! He’s sweatin,’ Yeah baby!'”
Bret was a mightyman of determination. He didn’t let up, he threw Mitt fastballs, and left him lying face down, in a pool of his own melting ego. You get the feeling that Mitt thinks it’s HIS turn to be President, and anyone trying to make him look bad, is just not nice.
But he looked nice. His hair all done slicked back, his shirt, Sunday School clean..but Romney seems to forget that we are living in the techie world where it doesn’t matter HOW good you clean up, video’s of past mistakes can be trumped up in a nano -second, and played back in your face.
Which is EXACTLY what Jon Huntsman did to him. Made a video out of it.
So–why didn’t Mitt defend himself better in this?
Gingrich has been brought down enough times to know that it’s just smart to admit you were wrong, whether you think you were or not. You don’t even have to admit you’ve changed, let everyone assume it. And now, Muffin Man is leading with Ron Paul in second.
Gingrich, with support of 25 percent of likely Republican caucus goers, is seven points ahead of the rising Ron Paul, who’s at 18 percent. Mitt Romney drops to third, at 16percent, denting his previously armor-plated Iowa polling average. Romney’s support stood at 22 percent last month.
Ron Paul’s in second? 
Ron Paul says:
“You have two choices. Either you can work you way out of this, or you wait until it collapses and you have to rebuild it.”
Uh…working our way out might take a few million years: How about we just start over? (By this, Nobody means the corruption runs deeper than any of us know.)
Anybody with me? (Stand up and pound on your remote control)
Nobody Knows if Mormonman Mitt is going to come back and take the lead. I wouldn’t count him out, but I doubt if he gives Bret Baier any more interviews. Still, if you look long-term: If Obama does another four years the country will be completely destroyed, and Donald Trump is not going to let us forget that.
Starting over will be painful, but much more exciting.
If Romney or Gingrich become President: it might end up being just another big, fat, stimulus, and almost everyone agrees…we’ve had enough stimulus.
It’s time to put the toy, BACK in the box.
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.
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.”
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: 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.) |
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.
