Nobody’s Email: Jefferson’s Words of Wisdom
Nobody Gets Email
I always thought it was funny that Bill Clinton’s middle name was Jefferson, (and not so funny that Obama’s middle name was Hussein) and I always wondered if his mother REALLY gave him that middle name or if he put it in for political purposes. I’m sure the real Jefferson would not have approved of Bill Clinton in any way…
So, ponder these quotes from the man himself, who sadly is not here to stand up and shout them to the Congress, whose approval rating this morning was 9%.

-
“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .” — Thomas Jefferson
-
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”– Thomas Jefferson
-
“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.” — Thomas Jefferson
-
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” — Thomas Jefferson
-
“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.” — Thomas Jefferson
-
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” — Thomas Jefferson
-
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”– Thomas Jefferson
-
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” — Thomas Jefferson
-
“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”– Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property – until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
Nobody Says: Is it any wonder that our leaders don’t want to teach history and rewrite our founders as backward, racist, old white men? We should have these words engraved in the halls of Congress.
The World Agenda for Democracy…Will..Necessarily…Hurt.
Nobody Knows—
How in the world the liberal progressive wackos can keep this peace-like image of themselves? You know…that they are against war, and don’t like it? In Jonah Goldberg’s meticulously researched book, Liberal Fascism, he reminds us of the fact that the liberals love war for the reason given:
The chief appeal of war to social planners isn’t conquest or death but mobilization. Free societies are disorganized. People do their own thing, more or less, and that can be downright inconvenient if you’re trying to plan the entire economy from a boardroom somewhere. War brings conformity and unity of purpose. The ordinary rules of behavior are mothballed. You can get things done: build roads, hospitals, houses. Domestic population and institutions were required to “do their part.”
What have we been hearing lately from Obama? He wants to build roads, hospitals, schools, and then get a civilian army right here at home?
Obama is probably thinking at this moment…&$*%…Where’s my war? I need to get this thing started.
As we think back, WWI, was Wilson’s (D): FDR had WWII (D) Kennedy and LBJ(D) had Vietnam, Truman (D) had Korea. George W. Bush (R) and his daddy had Iraq. Bill Clinton (D) had Kosovo. All these men were progressives, regardless of party.
Progressives.
Obama has escalated the war in Iraq and raised it in aces. He follows the exact same Bush agenda..freeing the Middle East to democracy. The next war will be..Iran.
No?
If you believe Jonah’s research, then the research points to the opinion that Obama will want us to go to war with Iran. We all know the economy for the masses is not going to improve before the elections no matter how much spin or blame he tries to put on Bush or mother nature. A war, would give him the power to stay.
Unlimited power. It was written into law by George W. himself. If you believe the conspiracy people, that our Presidents are handpicked and have been for some time, then Obama is doing a bang-up job for ‘them.’ They might want to keep him.
Right now, I’m watching Condoleezza Rice being interviewed by Sean Hannity. She is claiming that the Arab spring was all due to George W. Bush polices in the Middle East. (She is plugging her book.)
It was Bush’s “freedom agenda” that will someday turn Sharia law into a democracy. She really believes it..or so she says.
(Oh my god…the first question for Condi is a Muslim women who wants to know how to get into government—Somebody slap me. The lady who preaches democracy made sure she bought her own questionnaires.)
Condi claimed that the Sharia law now instituted in Libya is better because there is an “absent of authoritarianism.” And she said it with a lov..e…ley smile on her face.
Nobody Says…WHAT? Sharia law? Sharia law is not authoritarian? Did I just hear her say that?
I did..I did hear her say that.
Give these people a chance, and also those immigrants from Mexico..she says. It’s the same old song and dance. Mexico…COME ON IN! Yes, come on in because our leaders are going to need healthey young Mexicans soldiers to help implement this ‘freedom agenda” that will continue with whoever is the next President.
BECAUSE….when you have democracy, you can order products!
“We haven’t really tried as hard as we can to compete, educate and sell our products around the world, and I think we can do better.” Jeff Immelt
And as if I couldn’t be insulted any further, Condi kept going. Condi said that it takes time for people to grow into democracy…look at America!
Uh…I hate to tell you Condi, but there WERE no Muslims under Sharia law in America before the revolution. The Muslims have had over 5,000 years to get into this democracy business, LOTS of other countires tried it..and I can bet you George Washington’s sword that they never will. The only way Muslims will accept “democray” is when they all turned into Jews or Christians.
“Revolutions aren’t pretty…but they are necessary on the road to democracy.” Condi Rice
Spoken like a true Marxist. After all, her international teacher in college was Josef Korbel, Madeline Albrights father. Trained by…a Soviet. And both these women somehow made it to the top, as advisors to a democrat and a republican President.
Oh…that fact really smacks of democracy…don’t you think?
At the end of the program Hannity asked the audience if any of them had stopped voting for Obama due to him. Not one student raise their hands.They were university students, and each questions was planted. It was so obvious…it made you want to cry at the controlled messages they give us all so easily and without complaints.
So Condi, lover of Superman George W. Bush wants democracy in the Middle East?
How about we practice democracy here at home first Condi, or does your Russian soul cringe at the very thought?
And one more thing…pick on McCain one more time, (telling him not to play the race card) and you might just make him President.
Where were YOU when Obama played it, again and again..hmmmm? Playing piano?
Fathers: Endangered Speices?
Nobody Remembers …
Fathers are on the endangered species list, but nobody is talking about it. Once upon a time, I wrote for a website called Mens News Daily. It was site for which men who had gone through painful divorces could rant about the pain, and the unfairness of the judicial system. Since I had been divorced myself, I thought it was just a two-way street, and then I started noticing the problems of my son, and HIS friends, and it was clear…the women had changed since even my day. Generation X’s women believed that the world owed them a man who did everything for them. More of them were raised by divorced mothers, and to me they seemed much more ruthless.
Their kids.. are growing up to be outlaws. I wish someone would take a survey of all those protesting on Wall Street. I would bet my grandmother’s favorite locket that most of those kids and people are from single parent families. The tea party on the other hand, were mostly families.
The Tea Party believe in the rule of law, fairness…god and family. Wall Street people, who suffered from not having that extra support, want what the absent parent didn’t give them. And they want it now.
Anyone who has studied communism or Marxism knows that the only way to take over freedom away from people are to destroy the family unit, and in Europe, and the United States we are seeing just what our society has become. The experts have known that fatherless families bring a society that crumbles, and so we have had feminism propaganda thrust down everyone throat. It was a planned destruction. It was easy, and it has worked.
Marxism needs the state to be daddy, and that’s why Obama is promoting the “youths’. Today in his speech he said to Libya,
“You have won your revolutions. Youths are delivering a powerful rebuke to dictators.”
And so, he urges the Wall Street protests on…to rally them to revolt against the “state.” who Obama tells them are the conservatives,Republicans, and the tea party, because you see, he diverts his own dictatorial power away with lies and deceit.
History show that fatherless children turn to drugs and crime
It is interesting to note that in the backgrounds of most of the famous lawman, such as Wyatt Earp, a strong family unit was present with parents who preached early to their sons the moral necessity of obeying and upholding the law.For the most part, these men had both mother and father through their childhoods, whereas a good deal of the outlaws, bandits and gunmen that plagued the Old West grew up with only one parent, invariably a stern father with little time to spend with sons, the mother having died early. Many of the worst outlaws were orphaned as youths and had no parental guidance at all. The father of Jesse James left them early. It was the same with the Dalton’s and their mother. Outlaw sons seemed also th have an almost pathological devotion to their mothers. —Jay Nash, Encyclopedia of Western Lawmen & Outlaws.
And a society without the family unit with a mother and a father leaves country on the pathological path to destruction.
And that’s exactly what Obama wants.
Save the importance of the father, the family, and you might just save the country. Even the best of mothers have a hard time raising children by themselves, and any woman who tells you she never has any problem with her fatherless child…is either lying, or delusional.
Chinese Use General Sherman’s War Advice…
Nobody Reports
I came across this in my reading today:
If you were to destroy your “enemy” how would you go about it? (With a little help from the inside!)
“If my enemy came out against us in the open country, destroy industrial establishments whenever we found them, break up the lines of interior commercial intercourse, close the coal mines, seize and if necessary destroy the manufactories and commerce of Philadelphia, and of other large cities within our reach.” –General “Stonewall” Jackson
He also said this:
“Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible, and when you strike and over come him, never let up in the pursuit so long as your men have strength to follow: for an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic striken and can then be destroyed by half their number. The other rule is, never fight against heavy odds. If by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that the weakest part, of you enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time and a small army may thus destroy a large one in detail and repeated victory will make it invincible.”
Nobody Thinks the Chinese have studied our own history more than our own leaders have, and they are doing exactly as Sherman suggested, and without firing a shot.
What’s our weakest link?
Our politicians.
When In Rome, Get In Your IPod
Nobody Reports that Nobody Reads!
Here are a few intersting items I found in my reading today:
In Bushworld, Maureen Dowd complained about Dick Cheney and President Bush…hiding things.
“The vice president and president are really concerned about the privacy of power. They want to do, and be accountable to no one. The theme of Bush I is now the them of Bush II: Trust us, even if we won’t let you verify. we know we’re right . We answer to no one. “
That sentence could very well have been written about Barack Obama and his administration. “We have to pass the bill so we can read it.”
Has Maureen figured out by now that the democrats rule the same way?
Has a pigmy ever won a Pultizer?
****
In What Life Was Like When Rome Ruled the World I found this:
The Roman historian Livy said Rome was a “free nation, governed by annually elected officers of state and subject not to the caprice of individual men, but to the overriding authority of law.” The Romans codified their young “republic” around 430 BC in the Twelve Tables.
Now, this was not exactly a “republic” because only the wealthy patricians could vote and be elected. The common man (plebeians) did not have a say. And when the Roman elites sent the poor plebeians to fight the war in Carthage (Africa) it got sticky.
“Plebeians burdened by debt and lenglthy military service were losing their land to patricians who profited by the labor of slaves taken in battle”
So…history shows that the patricians and the plebeians are still in the exact same place. Even in the “republic” of China.
Nobody also likes this:….a speaker system for $100, 000. and a clever IPOD that you can climb into when the next flood comes. That’s only $3,900.
Now, how to get that stereo into that IPOD….Nobody is working on it.
Nobody’s Fool: Jackie Kennedy
Nobody’s Fool
As fast as the story came out, was about as fast as it was forgotten, but it was big news: Caroline Kennedy decided it was time for the world to hear “the rest of the story” from her mother, Jackie Kennedy…the woman who survived.
Arthur Schlesinger had interviewed Jackie after Jack’s death, in 1964, and she said things that had they had been released at the time she said them: would have caused more of a stir. So, you have to ask the question: Why did they take such a long time to release them?
Mmmmmmm?
As LBJ would say, in politics, nothing is a coincidence. (Or was it LBJ quoting FDR? )
Jackie, it seems, did not suffer fools. Unless of course it was her husband Jack. She had this to say about some very famous people of her time:
She called Indira Gandhi “a real prune — bitter, kind of pushy,” and said she had told Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at a dinner to stop boring her with statistics on Ukraine. (He laughed.)
But it was her extreme dislike of Martin Luther King that was the most…shall we say, to this Nobody “refreshing”. Evidently, the FBI was recording him, and she heard him say some pretty nasty things about Jack’s funeral.
After being told by her husband of some of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s alleged sexual peccadilloes after “that freedom march thing,” she called the civil rights leader “a phony.”
“I just can’t see a picture of Martin Luther King without thinking, you know, that man’s terrible.”
Gee…and Martin Luther King’s memorial just went up in the National Mall. Good timing Caroline, you’re mother would be proud.
Nobody Remembers one particular phone conversation of Jackie’s that I had heard on the radio…LBJ was on the other line. Her voice was almost a complete imitation of Marilyn Monroe’s. She sounded fake, breathy, and she was so sweet and obsequious to LBJ, I felt like I was listening to phone sex..
Jackie, like many people in history, think LBJ had her husband killed. So, it was not just Martin Luther King she was horrified of, it was also LBJ. No wonder she used all her charm.
“Jack said it to me sometimes. He said, ‘Oh, God, can you ever imagine what would happen to the country if Lyndon were president?”‘ she recalled. (And they were right.)
“If they’re killing Kennedys, then my children are targets…I want to get out of this country.”
And so she did. She married one of the richest men in the world (Aristotle Onassis) to protect her children, and moved.
You have to say one thing about Jackie—She was born a thoroughbred, and stuck to that stamp of elite all through her life, with grace. She made the elites of our time look like Snookie pigs in a mud slide.
Jackie was by all accounts a terrific mother. Many thought that her son would have been President one day…and the country certainly would have been better off without the Clintons in power…if they had not have killed him.
Oh…excuse me, his plane crashed…
Someday I hope to hear another story about how grandma Caroline thinks that her brother’s death was not an accident…
Anyway, Jackie survived, and thankfully did not live to see her son’s plane crash.
Nobody Thinks that the release of this very important information from the Democrats dynasty, right before an upcoming presidential election, shows that at least the last Kennedy standing, wanted to put the record straight.
They will hide this revelation: It’s not as important as “jobs” they will say. But in the world of politics, it’s nice to know that at least one person from history who was there, had enough courage to tell the American people the truth.
It’s about friggin, time.
What’s the Right Way to Mourn? Or…One Man’s Ceiling is Another Man’s Floor
Nobody’s Opinion:
“There was nothing on TV.” complained my husband today. “It was all that 9/11 crap.”
Unlike me, my husband cannot stand to watch one minute of any of it. This Nobody Wonders on the other hand, why I was so glued to the TV that I listened to every single name called off today of every single person killed. I saw every picture, heard every relative say things, like, “Thanks for the pennies!” and “Keep sending those dimes, Dad!” that when I missed the age of someone I was saying to myself,
“Wait…go back! How old was he?”
I was calculating in my mind that the average age was about 41, and more than 3/4 were men with wives and children. It seemed by casual observation that most of the foreigners were in the towers, and the police and firemen were generational and typical New Yorkers.
God…I LOVE New Yorkers. They also do a good job of not blinking. (One guy holds the record, I swear)
Another one of my friends in Florida, agreed with my husband.: “I cannot stand to watch any of it.” she said. “As soon as they showed the picture of people jumping from the buildings I turn it off.” This Nobody, on the other hand, was being inspired and reminded once again, just how noble the human being can be.
Nobody Knows but clinical psychologists why there is such a big difference in the way people react to disasters and death. Is it genetic? I find it fascinating. Some people find the way to handle death is simply to ignore and go about their day. That’s my husband, that was my father, that is many of my friends. They do not spend the tears and emotions. And that’s maybe not a bad thing. It’s very common in every family to have at least one relative who refuses to visit the dying parent or grandparent. They treat even the thought of death like a getting root canal. It’s just how they deal with their own mortality.
And yet, Nobody Remembers that most all of the people who lost loved ones that day, live each day with that lost person in their hearts and all their actions. They are kept alive and strong with their memories—as if the lost love one will walk through the door any minute. Many of them have use the event to do wonderfully great things for others.
So, I’m trying to decide if I was just a glutton for punishment, with my Kleenex…waiting for each memorial from some kid…wondering about all those horrible deaths, what was wrong with me? My husband moaned and got up from the table when I accidently turned on the news during dinner. Was this my way of being thankful that I was still alive? Was this my satisfaction that finally, the ordinary citizens, the real brave men, and hero’s that died that day get some TV time over the endless parade of politicians, from the mouths of the simple folks who knew and loved them?
Well, Nobody’s Perfect— I admit it, I sat around and cried with every trembling tear from every broken hearted wife, child, brother, father, mother, and friend.
We saw more proof today that thousands of people were just that, on 9/11. Perfect, brave, and proud Americans.
Today was a big closure for all of us..sobbing hearts out here. I KNOW I’m not the only one. Am I? I’m leaning towards maybe a genetic slip of the tear gland…
And speaking of perfection: Paul Simon gave the most perfect rendition of “Sounds of Silence” at the memorial that he will probably ever do in his life. It was, note for sublime note, it was —perfect. It was a ceiling moment for him, and it put me right on the floor.
It’s 9/11: Do You Know WHO Your President Is?
Nobody Remembers
It’s almost here, the tenth anniversary of 9/11. We will be watching the horrible pictures of the Twin Towers being destroyed again and again, with enough footage to make your heart-break all over, again and again.
I was searching through the video’s of 9/11 memorials, when I came across this one. Made by some people who wanted to give a few pictures of their talented dogs. And why not? It made me laugh…no disrespect to those that lost loved ones and will suffer forever…it was just a small token of appreciation from a couple of nobodies and their dogs…to the soldiers overseas.
Here it is ten years after, and the damage from that day never seems to end. In fact, you could almost say, we not only lost a couple of buildings that day filled with thousands of people, we lost our future. We have given up cherished freedoms for safety and yet we are told that we are still vulnerable. The scars from that day will last a lifetime and the money spent on trying to change all the Muslims Nations is bankrupting us along with everything else. Nobody will wonder if America elected Barack Hussein Obama to show how magnanimous a people we really are.
Whatever you may think about whether the buildings coming down were staged, or how it happened, one fact sticks out like a rubber ducky in a bathtub: Our leaders had plenty of warning, and did nothing. Their incompetence was almost criminal. I was listening to the pilot of Air Force One today who said they got all their facts from the cable news (on the plane) on 9/11. Do you buy that?
I don’t. Just like I wouldn’t buy that lady in the video doesn’t really love that dog.
After we were attacked, Bush sounded very bullish, went to Iraq, and fought a politically correct war. Today he has come out BEFORE the speech this weekend, to remind us all that he deserve the credit for the capture of bin Laden, so that Obama doesn’t take it away from him for eternity.
Sad, but that’s politics.
And nobody is sadder than the people who lost love ones that day. And— Nobody is mad that so many people voted for a man after 9/11 who insisted on keeping his Muslim name, after so many people had died at the hands of Allah.
What… an…insult. What idiots.
We have all heard, that in this day of mourning, God and his clergy will not be allowed to take part this year in the ceremonies. Firefighters are not welcomed, police are not welcomed, the families will be kept far away… but you can bet every politician in D.C. will be there, saying, “God bless America.”
Will Obama speak in Arabic? Will he talk of the peaceful people that he knows and loves? Will he talk about the great religion of Islam? It’s been ten years…where are they? Obama has made 9/11 a day of “service” but you know and I know, that to all of us that still have the grace that God gave us, it will always be a day of prayer.
I plan to watch this video at least a few times more, and I will be thinking of our President….whose dog days, (I will pray with all my heart and every doggie leap) …are numbered.
Nobody Reviews: America Alone by Mark Steyn
Nobody’s Opinion:
It’s been a long time since I couldn’t put a book down, but that’s been the case with Mark Steyn’s masterpiece, American Alone: The End of the World As we Know it. I started it yesterday, and ended up reading it through, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and now, I’ve got it on my lap while I write this, racing towards the last page.
Mark’s book is all about the most imminent threat to us all, the one that will lead us into the dark ages. It’s not the stock market, the elections, Obama’s health care, a horrible virus, or earthquakes…it’s the population, stupid. Most of the Western civilizations: Japan, England, Italy, Spain, Germany..are not having enough babies to sustain their bloated welfare systems. And so, to do the jobs that good “Westerners” won’t do…they bring in..the Muslims.
And Muslims, do not assimilate. They have no plans on becoming “democratized.”‘ And therefore, it’s the same old fight from years ago…the West against the East. Except now, we have leaders that bend over backwards to their every command. After 9/11, President Bush went to a Mosque. The White House has to celebrate Ramadan, every year.
Did we give Japanese tea parties after Pearl Harbor? I don’t think so.
My own Mayor insulted me when I was worried about my Muslims neighbors making bombs, he said, “Hey, why don’t you just move.”
Hey…I was here first. In just one year, they have bought up the five houses surrounding them, flew in all their other Muslim relatives, and they stay hidden. They are surrounded by American flags, but how long before many of my neighbors take our Mayor’s advise and really do move?
The Muslims are reproducing and infiltrating other nations at astounding pace. They will soon outnumber the West in sheer population alone. And that’s how they have always conquered in history. Put the Mosque up next to the church, and multiply…use the Western welfare system if you can. Parasites.
Mark says, when speaking about the vast numbers of Muslims in England: “Welfare addiction over demographic reality.” In other words, the few natives left do not car a fig about their country, only that they get their pension, vacations, and short working hours.
Like a wise enemy, their plan is to conquer us from within, using our own laws…and we let them.
“Much of what we loosely call the Western world will not survive the 21th century, and much of it will effectively disappear within our lifetimes, including many if not most European countries.”
Pat Buchanan has been writing about this for years, but Mark put it all into a much more intense focus. For instance, he blames America for footing the bill for Europe’s defense, which is one of the reasons Europe had enough money to spend on their cushy welfare states. With nanny states, he says, “We are the children we never had.”
And Mark is incredibly funny too. One of my favorite lines was when he was describing how Muslim men were afraid that when they shook an unbeliever’s hand that their penis would ‘melt into their body.’
“I know the feeling: The same thing happened to me after shaking hands with Senator Clinton.” said Mark. ” The vanishing penis hysteria was spread by cell phones and text messaging. ”
I think that’s a rumor worth twittering, don’t you?
Mark likes Bush’s plan to send democracy to the Muslim world. And Bush himself has said, he will be dead before he knows if it succeeded. But, you can’t spread freedom to a people who do not want it, nevertheless, he seems to think doing something is better than doing nothing in that regard.
Tonight, we are watching another dictator going down. Gadafi is gone. And I’m sure Obama, will take credit for giving the Muslims guns to do it. But does America really win here? People think that Islam could never take over our country. But we elected a President who insisted on his Muslim name. He finds the Muslim religion well and good. We may be in more danger than even Mark will admit.
I don’t think Obama is “freeing” the Muslim nation for democracy. He is using the Unites Sates resources to put in power the Muslim brotherhoods that Saudi Arabia prefers. But that’s just my Nobody Opinion.
The real truth is we should start thinking sooner rather than later about defending our Western Civilization.
Britain did a lot of good. Mark sticks up for empire. He pointed out…What would India have become without the British influence?
“Britain was never an unrivaled colossus even at its zenith. Yet today in language, law, politics, business, and the wider culture, there is simply nothing comparable in scale or endurance to the Britannic inheritance. “
Here..here.
So, what’s a nobody to do? After reading the book, my husband and I walked the dogs. We do not have sidewalks here, so our dogs walk on people’s yards to avoid the cars. My husband has always told me to keep the dogs off the Muslim’s yard. But tonight, I let them walk on the whole side of the Muslim yard. If my dogs are good enough to walk on everybody else’s lawn, then I will make no exception for them.”
It’s time we start saying, “You came to MY neighborhood. This is how we do it here. ”
If they can do it..then so can we. Damn the cultural torpedoes….One small step for a nobody..
One big step for my dogs.
Nobody Would Touch Powdered Long Pig
Nobody Reports:
I was reading an excerpt last week, from a guy who was at Jamestown, Virginia, during the starving time of 1609, and it got me to thinking about…food. Those first adventures to the “New World” were not exactly easy..in fact, due to poor management and planning, everybody started to starve…and this guy wrote about it:
As for our hogs, hens, goats, sheep, horses, or what lived, our commanders, officers, and savages daily consumed them: some small proportions sometimes we tasted until all was devoured. Then swords, arms, pieces, or anything we traded with the savages, whose cruel fingers were so oft imbrued in our blood that what by their cruelty, our governors indiscretion and the loss of our ships, of 500 within six months after Captain Smith’s departure there remained not past 60 men women and children. And those were preserved for the most part by torts, herbs, acorns walnuts, berries, now and then a little fish. Nay so great was our famine that a savage we slew and buried the poorer sort took him up again and ate him : and so did diverse one another boiled and stews with roots and herbs. And one among the rest did kill his wife, powdered (salted) her, and had eaten part of her before it was known for which he was executed as he will deserved. Now whether she was better roasted boiled or carbonadoed broiled, I know not. but of such a dish a powdered wife I never heard. (rim shot)
Nobody Knows if that last line was a joke, or if the guy was serious.
So, here’s the question: if you were starving would you put salt on your wife or husband and eat them? Wouldn’t it be easier to eat someone you’d never met? OF COURSE! It’s okay to eat your enemies, but not your wife.
(insert your joke here…………………………………………………….)
Did anybody bother to ask Jeffery Dahlmer what part of the human being tasted the best and what herbs he used? Was a toe, better tasting than an ear?
Remember in the movie “Alive” about the survivors of Flight 571 where the rugby team broke down and ate…butt?
Aren’t you glad that you’re biggest problem of your day today, was whether to turn your air conditioner down one more notch?
Nobody it seems, but me, thought that cannibalism was a very rare human event, and had only happened a very few times in history. Well, if you think that…THINK AGAIN!
According to Wikipedia, (and do we believe them?) many poor souls have been somebody else’s prime rib for most of our history. Thousands (nay, millions) have gone into some guy’s barbeque pit for stew a la Joe.
The Korowai still eat human flesh as a “cultural” practice.
If it’s “cultural” does that make it okay? That means it would be permitted in San Francisco.
Cannibalism has been documented from Fiji, (better known as the Cannibal Isles) to the Amazon Basin, to the Congo, to New Zealand, and to the Marquesas Island of Polynesia, where the delicacy of human was called LONG PIG.
Does this mean that humans taste like very long Bacon noodles?
In America, the Mohawk, the Attacapa, the Tonkawa, and other Texas tribes were known to their neighbors as “man eaters.” ( Not to be confused with Hall and Oates.)
Is that why George W. Bush won the Florida Recount?
During the Crusades, the victorious army would have human thighs after a hard day of killing.
Reports of cannibalism were also recorded during the First Crusade, as Crusaders fed on the bodies of their dead opponents following the Siege of Ma’ arrat al-Numan. There were also further cannibalism incidents on the march to Jerusalem and efforts made to delete mention of these from western history.
Did you know that? No wonder they took victory so much more seriously back then, if you lost…you would be roasted slowly over a fire with sweet onions, while having to listen to a bunch of guy tell dirty jokes and sing “Nearer My God to Thee” off key.
So, now you know. Men have been literally eating each other since the beginning. Nobody thinks that now we need to pay attention to the main menu where jihadists have listed : American Pie as the first entre.
Should we eat our enemies like in the old days? Would you really want to suck on the fingers of bin Laden?
Me neither…I’ll…stick with McDonalds.
But, back to the question. What would you do?
Nobody likes to think I would just eat…dirt. I tried it as a kid, and as I remember…it’s not all bad. You don’t even need salt.
And Now, A Word From Our Sponcer…
Nobody Knows
Why I like this song. I just do. The lyrics, the drums…the simplicity.
Bryan Adams is a pretty good songwriter. But…watch, around 2.21, you have to wonder…why put the guitar there?
Nobody Loves Larry the Cable Guy
Now…I’ve learned a lot from Glenn, but for all his wonderful lessons on the founders and the sad state of our affairs, he leaves us with little hope…he’s great, but I feel like having a tequila afterwards. I’m always talking to the TV and saying, “Sure, I’ll stock up on food when I get the MONEY to stock up on food Glenn, but this week’s grocery bill won’t let me.”
And in this world where men can be fired for making a joke about their testitcles, Larry’s jokes are a refreshing change, where women know it’s all in good fun. Larry lets the guys be guys, and you know, the sex jokes are really funny.
So, Larry…if you’re listening..”GET IT DONE BOY!” Nobody loves ya!
Nobody Says: Hey, Bill Maher, Larry new program is eating you for lunch! What’ s that? You’re giving me the finger? You giving AMERICA the finger? Why don’t you move somewhere less…American.
Somewhere…like France.
Nobody Reports a Blast of British Fresh Air
Nobody Reports
This guy is one of my favorite blogsters. Pat Condell is his name, and I have no idea if he is famous in England, or just a regular guy. Nevertheless, I would certainly buy him a cup of tea. Too bad he isn’t Prime Minister.
I’m expecting comments from the peanut/coconut gallery!
NEVER AGAIN!–Will Obama Remember the Year It Was Said?
Nobody FlashesTrying his best to apologize, trying to make up for past bad behavior, where he, no doubt, felt he was so powerful that it didn’t matter who he insulted…that attitude has come back to bite him, and hard.
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.
