Nobody’s Perfect: Jimmy Carter VS Elmo
Nobody’s Perfect
This week we have two very important world figures trying to take the spotlight with their grievances, Jimmy Carter and Elmo. I was going to go for Cher this week, because she keeps ranting that the Tea Party people are all racist… but…why? Elmo at this point is much more interesting. 
Let’s start with that pontificating putterer, x-President Jimmy Carter, who no doubt is still wondering if we have aliens on the planet, because he is looking for the Carter family tree. I’m convinced he could be of alien descent because I can’t think of any recent x President that dislikes America as much as he does.
Notice I said X American President.
Carter is STILL knocking America…and that’s because America threw him out of office because he put on his sweater one day in the Oval Office, looked the American people straight in the eye, and told America to turn down their thermostats and get out our ugliest sweaters, because we were basically all energy hogs and it was our fault (not his) that we had to wait in long lines to get gas.
It didn’t go over too well.
Once Ronald Reagan came to save the day, we couldn’t WAIT for Jimmy to go back to his peanut farm. But did he? Nooooooo, he had to continue to torture us with all his opinions…like how the election of Hugo Chavez was a good one. Once Jimmy Carter agreed to do an interview in Playboy, Nobody thought that if there were any redeeming qualities Jimmy might have had…class was not one of them. He has been one of the noisiest and litigious pathological anti American President ever to grace the Oval Office, but..yesterday–he just might have gone too far.
He is now attacking Obama…Lions and Tiger and Bears…OH MY!
Jimmy Carter, America’s 39 the president, denounced the Obama administration for “clearly violating” 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, writing in a New York Times op-ed on Monday that the “United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights. In addition to the drone strikes, Carter criticized the current president for keeping the Guantanamo Bay detention center open, where prisoners “have been tortured by water boarding more than 100 times or intimidated with semiautomatic weapons, power drills or threats to sexually assault their mothers.”
Notice the words “intimidated.”
Actually, if a Muslim really believed that some American soldier was really going to sexually assault their mother, then he deserved to be water boarded for stupidity alone.
And even though Jimmy has protected Muslims all over the world, this time he has maybe stepped over the…x –tow the Party democratic line.
And then there’s Elmo. Evidently Elmo is claiming that the Jews are ruining the world, (see video) something Mel Gibson once said to a cop. So many kids were around while Elmo was losing his mind trying to tell people that the Jews were taking over, a guy in another stupid costume had to get him to shut up.
Who made the biggest blooper this week? 
How do you compare? I can’t. Both of them are stupid.
And speaking of stupid—Kim Kardashion had this to say about herself and the Virgin Mary:
“I think if I’m 40 and I don’t have any kids and I’m not married, I would have a baby artificially inseminated, I would feel like Mary — like Jesus is my baby. When I did want to have sex the first time, I was almost 15,” she told Winfrey — just like the Virgin Mary said in the Gospel of Matthew.
She told this to Oprah. Word has not come in if she was on drugs, or if the Catholic Church might be considering working with Kim to redo the Virgin Mary statues with Kim Kardashion statues ..or not. Somehow Kim completely missed the point that you have to be a VIRGIN to be Mary.
I’m beginning to think I should have compared Cher to Kim this week: The Botox Devil and the Virgin Mary.
Still somewhere I just know, that Jimmy Carter has lusted for them both.
Therefore, Elmo wins by default. Congratulations Elmo! Jimmy Carter and Egypt await you.
JFK Advises Obama….From Profiles in Courage
Nobody’s Notes
Today is the day patriotic Americans have been waiting for, and it seems that it will be just one man who will decide if Obamacare is enacted— Justice Kennedy. If the Supreme Court lets Obamacare stand, then obviously we have become Russia, or Italy, or pick your favorite despotic government, because this Nobody Knows that Obamacare is not constitutional.
But who’s obeying the Constitution anymore? Here we see our Secretary of State, Comrade Clinton, pretty much making fun of the Constitution as she puts on a Mask and spits out the serious and important words at a swearing-in ceremony–basically making fun of it all. Nobody Remembers when swearing-in ceremonies used to be taken seriously, and discussions of purple pantsuits were left in the ladies washroom.
On a lighter note, I’ve never seen Hillary look better.
Nobody also remembers that there would be a tropical hurricane in the Sahara before an American President would call up a newly elected Muslim Brotherhood President of Egypt, as his army of brotherhood men are shouting Allah Akbar outside in celebration, thereby gaining control of a military funded by…the same American President, and that President ccongratulates him. 
Nobody Knows how a President can ignore the obvious fact that no matter how much you tell the new Muslim Brotherhood President of Egypt you would like him to be a moderate–he’s not going to do it.
Obama cares deeply about “women’s rights” in the U.S., but the women in Egypt can go to Allah in a handbasket, and sometimes that basket will contain their own bloody, chopped off hands if they are not good. Obama probably plans to call up the new Muslim Brotherhood President and say, “I’ll send you more money if you keep the stoning down..I mean..uh…I’m trying to win a reelection here.” 
Women in Egypt will now go back even further into slavery. Nobody Wonders how that poor pregnant women who did NOT vote for the Muslim brotherhood, the one whose husband beat her to death because she didn’t–How did HE know how she voted? What? Do the husbands get to see how the women vote? How’s that work? Or–did she tell him?
In an interview in AARP, Obama said:
“I do want to make sure that when Malia and Sasha are entering their 50’s we still have the security of Social Security. Of Medicare.” (Obviously President’s children get to take Social Security at the age of 50. The rest of us will get it at 122.)
Nobody Wonders where Obama learned to do math: He has added millions of illegals, and their families, onto the Medicare rolls, and now we find out that it seems our Medicare dollars have been going to, among various places..CUBA! Three Congressmen are spilling the beans on that:
“Clearly, the program vulnerabilities that facilitate billions of dollars to be stolen from the Medicare program each year also allow for some of that money to be funneled to foreign countries,” the three congressmen said. “Thus far, it does not appear that CMS has addressed the concept of nominee owners, false storefronts, and shell companies in any of its enrollment regulations or its Provider Screening statement of work,” they said.
Earlier this week, federal officials in Miami charged Oscar Sanchez in connection with a criminal operation that resulted in an estimated $31 million going to Cuban banks.“If confirmed, this indicates that Medicare program dollars are not only funding international criminal syndicates, but may be helping prop up the Castro government,” the congressmen said.
Oh gee…what does it matter? We are supporting Castro and Raul, and who knows who else with Medicare fraud? Is this a coincidence? 
If you don’t think so, then go ahead, you’ll find lots of hundred-dollar bills in your nearest drain sewer, along with an air plane ticket to Cuba where you will get the best medical attention in the world. Go ahead…get a heart operation while you’ll there, tell me how that goes.
The upcoming election doesn’t look so good for Obama, but, Nobody Wins if we think he is going down without a fight. In the history of the world, dictators have been known to do some pretty draconian things. Cruel and intentional is the usual modus operandi. 
.As JFK once said in Profiles in Courage
“There is little that is more important for an American citizen to know than the history and tradition of his country. Without such knowledge, he stands uncertain and defenseless before the world, knowing neither where he has come from nor where he is going. With such knowledge, he is no longer alone but draws a strength far greater than his own from the cumulative experience of the past and a cumulative vision of the future.”
John Perkins: American Hitman Wants to Hit YOU!
Nobody Knows
One night last month, I was listening to Alex Jones on the radio, and he was interviewing John Perkins, the author of The Secret History of the American Empire. Alex seemed to like John, and the man pretty much went along with everything that Alex said. He gave very sweeping answers and agreed with Alex about the elites taking over the world…you know…that’s Alex’s thing, and so, I got John’s book from the library.
What’s it about? How America goes around the world, and with the World Bank, makes loans to poor countries, knowing these countries cannot pay back those loans, so the many companies and the dictators they work with, make off like bandits by building electric, roads, and taking whatever resources that country has: Gold, minerals, oil..etc….and the people stay poor.
He really thinks that America is plundering the world. 
The deeper I got into the book, the more it started to reek of…BS., and I started wondering if Alex had even READ this book, because he was sort of..promoting the guy. John says he worked as an economic hit man for major companies, and by the end of the book, I felt like I should go wash my hands.
The book was bleeding red all over me.
And there was one section that put it all into “WTF am I reading?” category really strong.
According to John…Daddy Bush bombed Panama because…well read it for yourself:
Rumors that George W. was photographed doing coke and having kinky sex during the time his father was president. There was a theory in Latin America that Noriega had used incriminating photos of the younger Bush and his cronies to convince the older Bush, to side with the Panamanian administration on key issuers. In retaliation, H.W. invaded Panama and hustled Noriega off to a Miami prison. The building housing Noriega confidential files had been incinerated by bombs: as a side effect, more than two thousand innocent civilians were burned to death in Panama City that day in December 1989. Many people claimed that this theory offered the only logical explanation for violently attacking a nation without an army and that posed too threat to the U.S.
Now…who am I to say this DIDN’T happen? I can’t say for sure. But what I can say is that if you read the rest of the book, he sounds too comfy with Muslims and communist dictators like Chavez and Castro, and you get the feeling that, yep— Here’s another disinformation propaganda minister, getting on all the conservative talk shows to act like they agree with them, and then start promoting the ‘America is evil’ program. And swearing they are truly American patriots. 
Alex Jones does not endorse communism, so Nobody Knows if he knew the radical leftist that he had on his program…but I’ve been seeing this happen for years. People that are the, “we need to go back to the stone age, we are ruining the earth, cars are evil, people are evil, but Islam is really a peaceful nation” bandwagon really truly are out to change the world, and they start by making America Allah’s bulls- eye.
Another reason I didn’t like the book is because he put in a chapter about meeting this really attractive prostitute (obviously he traveled for that perk) and to this Nobody, he was bragging about his sex life.
Show me a man who gets his sex mostly with prostitutes and I’ll show you a liar, and a Secret Service wannabe
At the end of the book, you get a “global citizen” lecture: Don’t go shopping, jog: Buy at thrift stores: Write letters to Coca Cola: Cut back on gas and oil consumption: Downsize your whole life: Send money to non-profit organizations (He has TWO!): Volunteer your time: Drink tap water: Discuss pollution: Encourage taxes on gas, clothes, and electricity: and by all means, run for office! 
So, Nobody Knows if the stuff John reports in his book is true or not…probably some of it is: but one thing is certain, John Perkins is a hit man for your pocket book.
If you want to study leftist propaganda: Do yourself a favor–don’t buy it, get it at your local library.
As for Alex Jones? Should I write him a letter and tell him that John Perkins is pretty much a communist?
Nah. 
Obama’s Big Martini: Destroy America’s National Security
Most Americans, get up, brush their teeth, go to work, come home, feed the family, get the kids to the game— then help the kids with their homework, (if they have kids) walk the dog, watch TV and go to bed. If they have time, they might watch the news, but what most of us hear on the news is very shallow. Yesterday we heard Obama compare the Republicans to rich fat cats who invite you to dinner, drink their martinis’, walk out, then leave you with the check…
People looking up from their mashed potatoes might say, “Well heck YEAH! It’s not Obama’s fault!”
The statement is more than absurd, because, if there is one man on the planet Earth who is spending taxpayers money and dining on steak, lobster, and thousand dollar dinners, while spending millions a day just for his own upkeep with all his traveling expenses, it’s Obama. Comparing ‘President’ Obama’s extravagances to Mitt’s Romney’s expenses, is like comparing a Saudi King to an well off Irish potato farmer.
Mitt spends his own money….Obama spends ours. Who’s the rich fat cat here? 
And yet, he pulls it off because this kind of “rich VS poor” is the progressive/communistic norm, and has been for quite some time. History is just not taught in school anymore.
Obama is a progressive/Marxist, so he talks like one.
What the average citizen NEVER thinks about is just how well organized the “progressives/leftists/socialists” are and how long they have been around, and how globally connected they are, and as Vladimir Lenin once said, “The goal of socialism is communism.”
The communists planned many martini’s ago to take over the United States one baby step at a time, and one of those baby steps is to destroy the National Security of the United States. Last week, Obama took a rather big stomping foot step in that direction.
Here’s what the average citizen does not know: Vast organizations have worked throughout the years, diliengently setting up leftist organization to undermine the National Security of the United States.
The radicals socialist in the Democratic Party think that American’s military is like an evil hell hound.
From Robert Chandler’s “Shadow World”–
“From the beginning, the Institute of Policy Studies (Their mother Ship) had held a devil theory of the United States saying it was necessary to tear down the “national security state” and replace it with a “just security state.”
To them, a “just security state” is where the United States rids itself of all superiority in weapons.
Here is a list of organizations that, according to Mr. Chandler, have connections with the left;
The Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) —The Congressional Progressive Caucus is supported by them— 70 members.
The Center for National Security Studies (CNSS) They attacked the FBI and CIA so successfully, they created the “wall” between the two, that lead to the 1993 World Trade Center attack.
The Center for Defense Information (CDI) Their mission to turn the public against the armed forces.
The World Security Institute (WRI) : They pump out propaganda designed to weaken support for national security programs.
The Center for International Policy (CIP)
The National Security Archives, Digs up national secrets, and sends them to Russia to be used as propaganda against us.
The War Resisters League Connects Marxists, progressives, socialists, churches, unions and others. They were the first to blame the U.S . for the attacks on 9/11. 
The American friends Service Committee (AFSC) Here’s a surprise: Socialist Quakers.
Women’s’ International league for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) And that freedom includes in their own words:
“It is necessary to change the capitalist system. It is also necessary to change the patriarchal system in order to eliminate the imbalance between men and women–”
(Hillary and Obama are strong on this “women’s” war.)
The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) Love…love…love—They preach a world with no war, no racism, no militarism, no injustice…they hang out with all of the above.
Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) Works with the Communist Party, USA. John Kerry and Jane Fonda are their big hero’s.
Center for Constitution Rights (CCR) Don’t let the name fool you. The leaders LOVE Castro.
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU )Founded by a communist 
The International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL)
National Lawyers Guild “Putting human rights before property rights” All these lawyers help Muslim terrorists. And Nobody finds it chilling when Leon Panetta, a New York Lawyer who worked for the Clintons is now our Defense Secretary…a lawyer. Right. Comforting.
W. Anthony Lake, a man who had been railing about abolishing the CIA for years, served as National Security advisor to President Clinton. He was also an advisor for Obama.
So, you have millions of people being indoctrinated that America should disarm. That’s been their goal for quite some time, and now too many national security leaks have come out, you have to wonder…isn’t this a win/win situation for Obama? 
The damage that Obama has done recently to our National Security is by most accounts—egregious. Everyone is talking about the Times article, which makes Obama look tough, in order to get more votes.
Michael Reagan thinks it was Joe Biden that leaked this to the Times. He write this;
Everyone in the Washington-New York Axis of Evil knows that’s why there has been a string of White House national security leaks. Each of the leaks has been a transparent attempt to pump up President Obama as a tough warrior who deserves re-election because he’s been intimately involved in the killing of Osama bin Laden, the cyber-sabotage of Iran’s nuclear program, and choosing which specific terrorist gets blasted to heaven by a U.S. drone. Everyone also knows the leaks have damaged our ability to operate our future military and counter terror operations, and they put our intelligence agents and commandos at risk.
Nobody Thinks Obama told Biden to leak this stuff. After all…where was Obama when all this stuff came out in Times Magazine? Sipping a Martini? Obama plans to get up from the table, and stick us all with a bill so high, untold generations will become paupers. Not to mention, he will leave us defenseless against future attacks, which to a progressive like Obama is a “just securtiy.”
I have a good friend who says that one day, we will wake up and turn on our TV’s and there will be a man who will say—-
“Welcome America…This is the new America—From now on this is what will happen.”
1984. How could Orwell predict the future so well? Because, Orwell was a socialist. That’s how long they have been working on their stealth progressive plans. And while some poor doctor is doing 33 years in jail for helping Obama catch bin Laden, Obama is somewhere tonight…dining on the finest food money can buy.
Get Chandler’s book—you’ll learn a lot more from it, than watching the news.
(Robert Chandler is a strategist who has worked for the United States, Air Force, the White House, the Departments of State, Defense, Energy, and Justice and the CIA. He is a retired Colonel and Vietnam veteran, and holds a PhD in political science.)
Nobody’s Fool: Mark Twain
Nobody’s Fool
After the Civil War and up until WWI, American went into a great ‘transformation.’ The cities exploded with factories, and new technologies, and the idealistic American dream of the lone rugged individual of the founders…were being uprooted. Big politics and big business came crashing in on the new dispensations: Tammany Hall, and the stock manipulators brought about “Black Friday” in 1869. Labor strikes came in 1873, and 1876. In 1886, there were more labor strikes in Chicago.
We went from an agrarian society to an industrial one. Then we got the oil and steel tycoons, and the start of the big humongous multinationals conglomerates we have today.
And one guy, had this to say:
“The eight years in America from 1860 to 1868 uprooted institutions that were centuries old, changed the politics of a people, transformed the social life of half the country, and wrought so profoundly upon the entire national character that the influence cannot be measured.” –Mark Twain
Nobody suggests that if you change those dates to 1992-2012, that statement would very much fit what we are seeing in America today.
We have gone from an agrarian society to a “service” one. (By design) 
America is more fascistic, the people more divided and diverse, our freedoms vanishing, and almost all of our institutions: the family, the churches, our government, and our schools, have been changed so profoundly upon the entire national character…that the influence cannot be measured.
Obama, and many of the globalists, want to change the national character. No more melting pot. No more America.
No need to offend others. 
What would Mark Twain have to say about Obama?
“When angry, count four: when very angry, swear.”
They have “banned” Twain’s masterpiece Huckleberry Finn from our kids…but, it was one of the most profound books against slavery ever written, which brings me to another Mark Twain quote:
“All you need in life is ignorance and confidence, then success is assured.”
So THAT’s how he became President.
Thanks Mr. Twain. 
Nobody’s Opinion of George H.W. Bush
Nobody’s Opinion
Fox News had a special on tonight..a tribute to X-President George Herbert Walker Bush, on his 88th birthday, which is Tuesday. It was so lovingly produced that one can only suppose the powerful Bush family and Karl Rove did it up special for the old guy.
Somewhere in the “tribute” they accorded George H.W. Bush’s loss to Bill Clinton due to Ross Perot, but many true conservatives like me, were shocked at the time, to see Ross lose to Bush, who was by all accounts, not much more memorable than the innocuous Gerald Ford.
Daddy Bush has the personality of a friendly ferret, but he had vast political connections, thanks to Prescott Bush…a subject of many books.
When Bush ran, he was elected primarily on the coat wings of Ronald Reagan, who was so beloved, that if “Ronnie” (As Nancy so endearingly called him) had told us all to vote for Yoko Ono, we probably would have.(On condition that she wouldn’t sing.)
I don’t remember anybody really getting excited about 41. He talked with an annoying nasal, reprimanding voice, and was nothing like the dynamic Reagan. To me he looked more like an insurance salesman. He was pretty boring, until ..Desert Storm.
When Daddy Bush came on TV and claimed our “victory” over Saddam, I was in a bar, and I was the ONLY person in that bar who was not cheering at the sight of the bombers flying in celebration. I thought it all a big show for Bush. Sure, the Bush’s always give the credit to the little guy—(Unlike the ego currently in the White House) but don’t think for a minute that they aren’t trying to write stupendous history for themselves. Like the movie stars, they pay people to work on their “brand.”
Nobody was thinking at the time, how hard WAS it to repeal some little country like Iraq? Reagan had left him with a great military. I hated the way Bush acted as if he had gone and saved a poor little defenseless country—even if he did. 
Vietnam, left my generation war weary…and I was one of those people who could not see why any of our leaders go around the world “defending” anyone. …unless of course it’s Britain.
But Desert Storm was sold the way wars are always sold..with noble platitudes…instead of what they are mostly about: protecting U.S. interests, and in that case, it really was about oil, (BP) which by the way, Bush knew a lot about having become a millionaire in the oil business by the time he was 40.
We had a deal with the Saudis Kings. We protect them, they supply us…and in return they keep the OPEC prices reasonable. That was okay— so why not say so? (Wouldn’t you like to know what REALLY goes on behind closed door?)
Daddy Bush always kept that “Aw…sucks, I’m just a little old country boy at heart” game face on. (Which his son mastered with much better technique) But as the years go by, in hindsight…it was Daddy Bush that took us down that “New World Order” road of globalization, which has done untold damage to our country.
When George H.W. was running for President, they didn’t even mention his past hardly at all. All America needed to know was that he was going to carry on Reagan’s policies. Dukakis was weaker than John McCain—he couldn’t lose. And unlike Obama, Daddy Bush was almost overqualified to be President.
Tell me: How many men in the world in one lifetime hold so many top positions before he became President? He was an ambassador to the United Nations, the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, U.S. envoy to China, Director of the CIA, Head of the International Bank, Director of the Foreign Council of Relations, Vice President, then President.
It was the Bush family who pushed us headlong into NAFTA.
Bush’s administration, along with the Progressive Conservative Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, spearheaded the negotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which would eliminate the majority of tariffs on products traded among the United States, Canada, and Mexico, to encourage trade amongst the countries.[70] The treaty also restricts patents, copyrights, and trademarks, and outlines the removal of investment restrictions among the three countries.[70]
You can thank your rotten bananas for that one.
Perot TRIED to warn the American people what would happen to us if we got into NAFTA. Jobs would exit the U.S. like water pouring out of a sieve he said, and he was right. An army of black helicopters shut him up.
What is terribly sad about all this, is we are coming right back into the Bush dynasty again…which is the Rockefeller Rhino Club— “One World Government” party that is running the show. There are a handful of globalists at the top, and they never leave the control. Mitt might be in the White House, but in the background will be the Bush family. Like Putin…waiting for the day when they get the Presidency again.(Jeb?) And then Hillary in 2016? And Obama will go..where…to the United Nations? 
And he’s the worst of them all. (Obama)
(Does anyone else want to GET OFF THIS NEW WORLD ORDER GLOBAL BOAT of EGO NUTJOBS!? AHHHHHHHHHHH!)
At the end of the tribute tonight, it was obvious that the Bush family wanted Daddy’s Bush’s legacy to be getting people to “serve”..They were proud that Bush 41 had gotten 100 million people to “volunteer” their time serving other people.
(That’s his Legacy?)
Jimmy Carter would be proud….Karl Marx would be proud: Obama would be proud…Bob Dylan would be proud…
Why mention this at all? Wait for it…wait for it…
There will be a day when mandatory “service” will be required of all American citizens, and BOTH heads of both parties will be behind it. Now…be good little boys and girls and volunteer to help your neighbor…or else.
Come on Joyanna, that’s will NEVER happen…
Well… did you know that the real reason Obama made 9/11 a “day of service” is because an X President named George Herbert Walker Bush, wanted it?
Gee…why didn’t Obama tell us that? (Who RUNS these people? )
The only “service” we should be giving on 9/11 is our humble service to the families who lost loved ones that day.
It’s about time our Presidents started “serving ” the American people.
ALL of them.
On Tuesday, there might be alot obout Daddy Bush’s great legacy…and feel free to celebrate a President who by all accounts, was better than any democrat…go ahead…but THIS Nobody is holding out for the 4th.
Nobody Remembers the History of the Horse’s…Behind
Nobody Remembers
Here’s an email that tells you an interesting bit of fun in history and since it’s Friday,…and the “horses’ a$%- ” was just on TV…I thought it was too fun to pass up.
Enjoy! (Thanks to Tom Beebe) 
***************
The U.S. Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That’s anexceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that’s the way they built them in England, and English expatriates designed the U.S. Railroads.
Why did the English build them like that?
Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that’s the gauge they used.
Why did ‘they’ use that gauge then?
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jugs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing. Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?
Well if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some old, long distance roads in England, because that’s the spacing of the wheel ruts. 
So, who built those old rutted roads?
Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England) for their legions.
Those roads have been used ever since.
And the ruts in the roads?
Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels.
Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore, the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. In other words, bureaucracies live forever.
So, the next time you are handed a specification, procedure, or process, and wonder, ‘What horse’s ass–came up with this?’, you may be exactly right.
Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. 
Now, the twist to the story:
When you see (have seen) a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, you will notice that there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit larger, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses’ behinds. 
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world’s most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse’s ass. And YOU thought being a horse’s ass wasn’t important!
Now you know, horses’ass control almost everything..explains a lot of stuff doesn’t it?
And I haven’t even begun to talk about Washington D.C. 
Nobody’s Fool: David Horowitz
Nobody’s Fool: David Horowitz
Whenever I hear one of my friends say they “voted” for Obama, I can’t for the life of me figure out that they didn’t see that he was….trouble. Once in power, he has revealed, from his own lips, his Marxists tendencies. He hides his ties with leftist/Marxist buddies, but he still has them all over his administration. So I realized the reason my friends voted for Obama is because they have never really learned the real difference between a democracy, a Republic, communism, socialism, Marxism or fascism.
Oh sure, they’ve heard the words…but I’m sure none of them ever believed in a million years any of that could happen in America. They believe everything they pretty much hear on TV.
That ignorance has been by design.
His parents were communists, whose self-stated goal is combating “leftist indoctrination” in academia. Phil and Blanche Horowitz were long-standing members of the American Communist Party and avid supporters of Joseph Stalin. For nearly a decade, Horowitz’s rejection of Marx remained a private matter. In the spring of 1985, however, Horowitz and longtime collaborator Peter Collier wrote an article for the Washington Post entitled, Goodbye to All That. The article explained their change of views and recent decision to vote for President Ronald Reagan (Wikipedia)
Nobody explains why ‘social justice’ is not what we want better than David:
Far from being progressive, the left’s demands for ‘social justice’, if realized, would destroy the very basis of social wealth…In the modern world, competition is not the contrary of cooperation, but the form that cooperation must take in order to coordinate the activities of millions of people unknown to each other, pursuing goals that are not common and cannot be shared. The profit margin is the engine of wealth not only for the rich but for the poor was well. In the real world, the attempt to plan economic systems produces inefficiency and waste: the attempt to redistribute wealth diminishes well being and individual liberty: the attempt to unify society crushes its freedom: the ambition to make people equal establishes new forms of tyranny and submerges human individuality in totalitarian designs.
Yes, the progressives are really Marxists in disguise. Hard to believe, I know, because Hillary Clinton says she is a proud progressive…and we also have a bucket load of them in Congress, which Allen West pointed out. 
To which Bill Clinton came out right away to nip that in the bud. How DARE he even suggest it! The last thing the progressives want the Americans to know in an election year, is that they believe in the Marxists redistribution/communist party that founded them. So..watch Bill as he protests too much…And you will realize, why many of my friends will vote for Obama…again…(sigh) Nobody Thinks, we need more Davids.
NO…these are NOT the droids you are looking for…
Nobody’s Perfect: Queen Elizabeth II
Nobody’s Perfect
It’s quite amazing how they do it: Rulers that stay in power for literally decades—and Queen Elizabeth has held her ground. Coming from a country that rejected the idea of a family line of rulers as being the quintessence of the most abhorrent political system ever invented, I’m trying to catch a hold of getting myself to “like” the Queen. Now that she is in her winter years, it’s not all that hard. After all, it’s not her fault that she happened to be born with the luck of one in a billion…to inherit all that wealth, all those castles. That doesn’t make her any less a person, because it’s the system itself that is to be criticized, not the people who happen to be born into it, unless of course, they start acting like the old King Henry the Eighth.
But now, in 2012, the Americans, who at their start rejected the power of one man on the throne, seems to have come back rull circle. England through the years, took away the power of the idea of ‘King” or one man on the throne (or woman) leaving them more as figureheads, while America has given their Presidents the powers of a King.
Exactly what our founders fought against…and we are paying dearly for it. 
Why is it hard for me to like the Queen? I’ll tell you why. I was like the rest of the world, heartbroken, when Princess Diana was killed. I thought the Queen’s behavior at that time in history was short of a real snob. She had no class, and showed no grace at the time all the world was looking for her…and that’s probably because she really didn’t like the girl, and was glad to be rid of her. When you live under years of being the number one chip on the block, you are bound to be selfish in your concerns. She just did it when she wanted to. It was finally sweet, but it was a huge political mistake. No doubt, Diana’s Star outshone the Queen and that must have been annoying.
Still…hire the best PR consultants in the business, put your propaganda out…and all will be forgotten. And it has been.
The British people love her….so we must take it from them, that she has more than made up for whatever mistakes she made before. They credit her with the good England’s fortune for the last sixty years, but just how lucky are those people are over? It doesn’t sound so dreamy. They have more camera’s on their streets, more Muslims flooding their welfare rolls, more thugs and drunks on the streets…at least that’s what we see over here in America. Still, what did the Queen have to do with all that? 
Nothing. The Queen is the brand. She stands for the British people..a symbol. That’s her job. As you read about Elizabeth, on the whole, she has done whatever was asked of her in the role she was given, and with grace and honor. She seems to have had a wonderful father, (at least he is presented as such in the movie, The King’s Speech) and even if her son is a bulb short of a socket, you can’t always blame the mother on such things….or can you? The rulers of the world are so busy going around the world, the kids do suffer from their absent. And Elizabeth was away from her children many times in her life, the kids left at home.
No kid ends up without some serious mental problems when they grow up missing their parents, and that happens whether your parents are rich or poor…or divorced.
In defense of this horrible habit of England’s Kings and Queens leaving thier kids somewhere while they went traveling around the world, John Adams and his wife Abigail left their sons at home and didn’t see them for five years while John was away as ambassador in Paris and England.
I don’t care if you have butlers picking your nose and bringing you hot totties at bedtime, kids need the parents around. Both his sons suffered severely for it. 
But, in John’s case…they didn’t have much money. The Queen could have had private tutors wherever she went….so I tend to bring that against her. I suppose she could blame it on her historical duties. There is a whole culture of historical “do’s” and “don’t” in the British upper society that has years of cultural precedence, so the rich kids go off to the private schools and we have the Harry Potter Series to prove it…the unfairness of life if you happen to be born a Mudblood…instead of having the royal Trueblood line.
The trouble with rich elites running the world is that they are so far removed from their people. George HW Bush had never seen a grocery store, something he had in common with Elizabeth. When she was here in America, she saw one for the first time too.
These people never had to buy food for themselves…amazing isn’t it?
Tell me, how can you rule people you can’t possibly relate to?
I watched the Queen floating down the river on her barge on that rainy day…celebrating her sixty- year Jubilee. What was even more endearing were the singers who were singing “God Save the Queen” in the rain, their faces and voices busting with pride…giving the performance of their lives. So proud to be there. So proud to be singing to her.
The Queen is very lucky to have such wonderful subjects….has she ever mention that fact I wonder?
I haven’t heard her say it, but Nobody’s Perfect, and that includes Queen Elizabeth…but there is one thing that we should give it up for her for: She plans to stay in power until she goes to explain herself to the Big Ben in the sky. (applause!) 
The longer she rules, the less time Charles has to mess all her hard work up, and the world is a better place for that.
So, Long live the British Queen! Nobody can wear a hat quite like her.
(Thanks to amfortas for the picture of Elizabeth: gunner! And for his endearing heart and soul for his beloved Queen..she is lucky to have it.)
Potus Gold
Nobody Wins–
When foreigners make fun of our dope smoking ‘President.” The one thing that really bugged me when I was reading about Obama’s teenage years of dope smokin; was that Volkswagon Bus. It was THE stoner logo of the 1960’s…but Obama’s dope smoking Chom gang was way past that time. What? Was Hawaii in some kind of time warp?
If you saw anyone who had that Volkswagen van, you knew right away that Cheech and Chong were their favorite movies, and they pretty much had no teeth.
So, you have to ask yourself–how did Obama go from being a really big drug addict (remember, he also went on to the harder drugs like cocaine) to become President of the United States? Is it any wonder he thought the concentration camps in Poland were …Polish?
“The Larks and the Linnets Were Singing….”
Nobody’s Notes
The day I had been waiting for all winter, came today— The glorious day of my local pool opening. After the initial shock of the cool water, there I was, doing my “exercises” all the while watching daddies and mummies encouraging their babies to kick in the water. It was gloriously hot..almost 98 degrees. There is something so nourishing about the feel of the sun on your skin..you don’t notice the heat when you’re in water. The energy is quick, and no matter what age you are, you feel like you are a kid again, and the world is once again..somehow right.
Obama who?
So, it’s a Saturday, and time for yard work, but I wanted to share this marvelous bit of advice from that man of great common sense, Daniel Hannan. He is talking about his country, England, and all the troubles that have fallen upon it…and then..he gives you the gift of advice, as warm as and welcoming as the hot summer sun. 
I’d like to think that you could apply Daniel’s logic to America..in fact, we should.
Conservatives can sometimes slide into pessimism. The world is not as we would wish it. Our values are derided, our patriotism scorned, our freedom truncated, our birthright traduced. It’s easy to despair.
But every problem has its solution. If we were to return to the spending levels of 2005, our fiscal troubles would be no more. As the eurozone crisis destroys the original rationale for our membership of the EEC, the day of our independence is surely approaching.
We have, after all, been here before. In the mid-Seventies, it felt as if we were finished as a nation: constant strikes, a collapsing trade balance, murders in Northern Ireland, awful architecture, decimalization, shocking dress sense, the destruction of the counties, double-digit inflation, prices and incomes policies, EEC membership, power cuts. Every public intellectual, every columnist, almost every MP was reconciled to permanent decline.
In fact, though we didn’t know it, Margaret Thatcher and national recovery were on the way. The skies were about to clear. High on the downs, the larks and linnets were singing.
So, England was once very sick. Then Margaret Thatcher in England, and Ronald Reagan in America, came charging in to Jimmy Carter, and all the liberals…and took control. Both nations recovered so well, that it has taken all this time of hard liberal hammering, to bring them down again. They put Russia back in its hole…for quite a while.
Russia is back. So are the leftest/liberals-Marxists.
It’s hard to stay upbeat, when we are bombarded daily on our horrible situation: Half the people on welfare, horrible school systems, continuing inflation that we keep hearing “will come back” (Tell me, when did it ever leave?”) unemployment so bad, people stop looking for a job…and a government that can’t seem to manage to stop spending one dime on anything. And for the first time in American history, we have a Marxist/Muslim in the White House who has decimated the Constitution so badly, we wait for him to make himself a permanent King. No wonder he likes Putin. He divides us all…blacks against whites, rich against poor, sick againt healthy, unions against the private sector….He blames everyone but himself.
Nobody Knows if he will leave the White House quietly when his time is up.
But Daniel reminds us, that all we need is a few good conservatives to at least stop the bleeding. It can be done…it’s been done before.
It’s a nice thought to have on this Memorial Day weekend…we should remember what we still have. We DO have something worth fighting for— and as Churchill once said.
“Never give up.” 
We still have our country…we still have noble people…all we need is leadership.
The Tyranny of Silence
Nobody Knows
Last week, I heard two very important and almost mind-blowing historical facts that I just happened upon..two things that I had never known, nor ever heard. The first one was not so surprising. I was listening to Coast to Coast AM late night radio talk show with George Noory, who was interviewing the author of Eco -Tyranny, Brain Sussman. Sussman is a well known meteorologist who has been researching Al Gore, and debunking the green movement for quite some time. And then he said that while searching, he found the original Karl Marxist papers describing how to set up this whole scam of “saving” the planet, (green movement) in order to get CONTROL of people.
Yes, Karl Marx taught Al Gore. But, you won’t hear Al Gore admit that any time soon. Here’s Brain talks about EARTH DAY:
“On this date in 1970, a trio of radical dreamers established Earth Day, an annual event designed to assault capitalism, free markets, and mankind. The initial concept was conceived by then-Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D.-Wis.). Nelson was Congress’ leading environmentalist, a sort of pre-incarnate Sen. Barbara Boxer in drag. He was also the mastermind behind those ridiculous teach-ins.
Prof. Paul Ehrlich of Stanford. authored the Malthusian missive, The Population Bomb, in which he infamously spouted wild allegations that included equating the Earth’s supposed surplus of people with a cancer that needs to be eradicated:
“A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people. … We must shift our efforts from treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions,” he wrote. he inaugural Earth Day would be celebrated April 22, 1970—Russian dictator Vladimir Lenin’s centennial. “
Lenin declared that all forests, waters, and minerals to be the exclusive property of the state, and he demanded these resources be protected from use by the public and private enterprise. Selling timber or firewood, mining minerals, or diverting water for farming was strictly prohibited.
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. What Nobody feels like is a cancer…I’m getting that book.

Then, the next day, I was surfing the channels and stopped at the BBC to hear THIS news:
A BBC program claims high ranking British spies helped the Japanese to plan the Pearl Harbor attack.
“One was Lord Semphill. He began aiding the Japanese during the Anglo-Japanese alliance. He played a crucial role in building up the Japanese carrier fleet during the 1920s and 30s. In 1939 he was working for the British admiralty. In 1941 he reported on discussions between Roosevelt and Churchill which showed much of the American fleet was deployed in the Atlantic and could not respond to an attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite knowledge of his treachery becoming known, the British took no action against him beyond a demotion.The other spy was Frederick Rutland who also helped to develop the Japanese carrier fleet. Later he moved to Hawaii where he worked for US military companies whose secrets he sent to Tokyo. In 1941 he sent photographs of Pearl Harbor to Japan. He was detained during the war but never prosecuted. “
So there you go. Two very high up British “spies” were helping the Japanese attack us. Neither man was prosecuted. WHY?
Nobody Wonders if Churchill and FDR worked on this together.
What? Joyanna, you are truly going too far…really? Has anyone noticed besides me that the rich and powerful commit the most atrocious crimes to humanity and NOBODY ever goes to jail?
Nobody Thinks that the very fact that I heard these two nuggets of wonders in such a nonchalant way, as if they meant nothing to anything, or to anybody…gives me reason to believe that they are more true than not.
The green movement is based on the old communist propaganda, and FDR and Churchill needed America to get into the war.
We don’t know much, but we do know that men with such power consider themselves above reproach because they truly feel they are like doctors “triaging” the patients. They decide who lives, and who dies.
Nobody Wonders what else we don’t know, and how many years it will be before……….. they even mention it.
The older you get, you realize it’s what you don’t know that keeps you wandering helplessly in soft tyranny. 
Nobody Remembers Donna Summers— or Maybe Not
Nobody Remembers
If you think that May the 18th is just another day, remember as you grab that morning energy drink…lots of things have happened in history on May 18, and here’s some of my Nobody thoughts on them;
On May 18….
1096 – Crusaders massacre Jews of Worm.
(The Jews lived in a city called ‘Worm?’ When you think of the shape of Israel, sort of could look like a worm. Those &$%$ crusaders.)
(Yes, not only the worm living Jews, the Acre Christians were attacked. And YOU think it’s over? HA!)
1631 – John Winthrop is elected 1st governor of Massachusetts.
(Good old John Winthrop. He was John Adams old schoolmaster and he taught a lot of those revolutionary giants. Goes to show you what a good teacher can do when he’s left alone.)
1642 – Montreal Canada founded 
(On May the 18th a great city was born…and then…)
1765 – Fire destroys a large part of Montreal, Quebec.
1756 – England declares war on France
(Which is bound to happen again sooner or later. I give it a few more years.)
1803 – Britain declares war on France after Napoleon Bonaparte continues interfering in Italy & Switzerland
(So, England became Britain? (?)Even back then, nations used to DECLARE war. They don’t do that anymore. That was a nice thing…you know…official war declarations. Remember those?)
1804 – Napoleon Bonaparte proclaimed Emperor of France
(It must have been hard crowning that little head yourself. )
1830 – Edwin Budding of England signs an agreement for manufacture of his invention, lawn mower. Saturdays are destroyed forever. 
(Man writing these historical records, actually has a sense of humor.)
1860 – Republican Party nominates Abraham Lincoln for president.
(And to this DAY, all Democrats proclaim him to be their savior, but forget to mention that he was a Republican)
1863 – Siege of Vicksburg, MS
(Three years later to the day, Abe has big problems. Three years later…Obama main worry is student loans.)
1897 – Irish Music Festival 1st held (Dublin)
(Think I’ll get drunk, dance Irish jigs, and mow the lawn today.)
1897 – Dracula, a novel by Irish author Bram Stoker is published.
(Continuing forever endless teen vampire movies where blood sucking is a good thing.)
1910 – Passage of Earth through tail of Halley’s Comet causes near-panic
(Same thing happens when Obama smokes and parties in the White House.)
1927 – Grauman’s Chinese Theater opens in Hollywood California.
(Jackie Chan was actually there.)
1933 – On the very same day, May 18th..The Tennessee Valley Act (TVA) Act signed by FDR, to build dams and the 1st major league All-Star Game announced for July 6 at Comiskey Park that it will be played as part of the Chicago World’s Fair.
(Proving once again, that Major League Baseball has survived floods, steroids, and socialist dictators)
1934 – Congress approves “Lindbergh Act,” makes kidnapping a capital offense
(Uh…they needed CONGRESS to make it a capitol offense? What was it before Congress stepped in..an interesting babysitting story?)
1934 – Jimmie Foxx hits 1st HR in Comiskey Park center field bleachers
(Back then, the steroid was beer and peanuts, but Jimmie swore before Congress that he did not drink or eat. )
1934 – TWA began commercial service
(And millions of men finally dreamed of flying a stewardess. It was where Hugh Hefner got his idea for the Playboy club. Honest. Really. He just added the rabbits. )
1948 – Saudi Arabia joins invasion of Israel
(There was an ‘invasion?’ And WHO did they join? Was it because of the Worm again?
1953 – 1st woman to break sound barrier (Jacqueline Cochrane, USA)
(No…that was actually Ethel Merman)
1954 – European Convention on Human Rights goes into effect 
(I thought this was important so that we all remember the date. Now, the European Union gives no human “rights.” to anyone unless they are part of the elite rulers. You’ve come a long way, EU.)
1963 – “If You Wanna Be Happy” by Jimmy Soul hits
(Never make a pretty woman your wife!) I love that song.
1964 – Supreme Court rules unconstitutional to deprive naturalized citizens of citizenship if they return to home country for more than 3 years
(Somebody call Singapore)
1967 – Silver hits record $1.60 an ounce in London and Gene Roddenberry suggests 16 names including Kirk for Star Trek Capt.
(Good for him. The black caucus now demands the whole country and all its wealth, and pretty much gets it. By the way…All they really needed to do is make just ONE demand—like the rest of us–resign.)
1980 – Mount St Helens blows its top in Washington State, 60 die
(Some because they were just too stupid, to get out of the way)
1994 – Israel withdraws from the Gaza Strip
(After the Worm trouble, I wouldn’t have.)
1998 – United States v. Microsoft: The United States Department of Justice and 20 U.S. states file an antitrust case against Microsoft.
(Bill Gates VS Janet Reno…Those were the good old days. Now we have The American Tea Party People VS Eric Holder)
Okay…that’s enough. Too much information? Well, you can always watch old Donna Summers video tapes…or an eclipse.You can never get bored..on May 18. History is a full circle of loons. 
(Now, wasn’t this more fun than me telling you how many times I had to sing “She Works Hard for the Money.” to a lot of really drunk, irish people? Really, I don’t remember. )
Nobody’s Email: The Predictions of Paul Harvey
Nobody Gets Email
Here’s a short warning from Paul Harvey….it was recorded 47 years ago on April 3, 1965.
It’s almost scary in its accuraay.
Enjoy!

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.
