Nobody Wins When You’re Down

Nobody Wins

—When you’re feeling under the weather. I had one of those days today. It was the first beautiful day we’ve had since last winter, got up to 82 degrees, so I mowed the lawn…but I lost two of the rose bushes my dad planted years ago. (They fall over my fence) It was just their time. I could only muster cutting down half of them, then I quit. I want to be tender about it…does that make sense?

No, it doesn’t.

But that wasn’t what put me in such a sad mood. Silly things can throw you off. Tonight, it was a song I was writing. A lullaby. It was for a beautiful little baby girl that has been born to another writer friend of mine who lives with his wife in South Korea. They email me pictures, and she is just the most adorable baby. I have been working on it for weeks in my spare time, and I want it to be perfect, so of course, I keep fooling around with it.

Anyway, I realized in the song, that I was really writing a song for the baby girl I never had, and it overwhelmed me with loss. Funny I know, but certain notes on the piano, certain keys, can touch the human soul. I quit working on it because I just couldn’t stand the tears. I was actually writing a lullaby for the baby girl I would never hold….But hopefully, my friend will sing my little lullaby to her little cherub.

I can only hope I can make it singable enough. Because, I’m a nobody. Nobody will ever hear this song but this woman and her husband. Who knows if they will even like it? As Joni Mitchell once said in a song…

“Nobody stopped to hear him, though he played so sweet and high

They knew he had never been on their TV, so they passed his music by

I meant to go over and ask for a song, maybe put on a harmony

But the one-man band, by the quick-lunch stand, he was playing real good for free…”

Joni Mitchell: Not many of you remember her I bet.

So, I quit two things today. I’m not starting a half-ass remark about anything blog related tonight because I probably wouldn’t finish it.

What I can do, I did. I offered you this great video made by George Carlin, which should be mandatory viewing for all high school seniors.

I know…Fat chance.

Enjoy!

Nobody Reports: Carl Sagen Predicted Future of America

Nobody Reports

This morning on the local radio station, there was a discussion on the big problem we have with the low-income students not being able to get help, when a progressive educational public school system cannot seem to teach them anything. Richer people can afford to get Johnny a tutor when he cannot seem to understand fuzzy math, but not the poor kid. I was waiting for the conclusion that “We need to spend MORE money on the poor kids.”

How many times can you keep making the same mistakes over and over? When will our politicians ever learn that it’s not how much money you spend, it’s the system itself that is failing.

A minute later, I picked up the book I was reading (The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan) and read this;

“Science is more than a body of knowledge: it is a way of thinking. I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time–when the United States is a service and information economy: when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries: when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues: when the people have lost the ability to see their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority: when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes,  our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.

The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bite (now down to seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentation on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance. As I write this, the number one videocassette rental in America is the move Dumb and Dumber. “Beavis and Butthead” remain popular (and influential ) with young TV viewers.  The plain lesson is that study and learning–not just of science, but of anything are avoidable even undesirable.”

Is it any wonder that we haven’t heard much about Carl Sagan from the liberal crowd?

Carl makes an excellent point. The reason Obama got elected, was because the majority of our population would rather watch Vampire and Zombie programs then read a book, or delve deeper into Obama’s sound bites: whether they are true or not.

Our schools have shaped our kids to be zombies, listening to sound bites of movie stars and politicians who cannot even add.

Every President says he is going to fix our schools, and no President ever does. And our kids know it. What kind of future can a kid dream of today?

The book was written in 1996. It’s now 2013. Mr. Sagan used science to predict the future.

And he wouldn’t be surprised to know: Zombies are among us now.

John Kerry Has a RIGHT to be Stupid: Now the World Knows too

Nobody Reports

It’s now official: John Kerry says that in America you have a right to be stupid, (evidently, he thinks that’s in the Constitution) not knowing, by uttering this, he has just announced to the world, that since we have a right to be stupid, it’s because of that right, that millions of stupid people have elected people like: John Kerry.

Probably the truest words ever spoken by a politician: and the fact that Kerry has no idea that it applies to him, proves the point.

I won’t tell him if you don’t.

 

Nobody’s Email: Facebook Has Conservatives?

Nobody Gets Email

A friend of mine spends a lot of time on Facebook….something that I do not do. So I told her to send me any political stuff she might see…and tonight…I found these in my mailbox. Wow. And I thought only liberals were on Facebook…who knew?

Enjoy!

Nobody Remembers Democratic Senator Huey Long

Nobody Remembers

—-Huey Long (D. Senator from Louisiana), because our schools make darn sure our kids don’t know much about anything…but thanks to YouTube, we can visit the early seeds of Obama’s democratic/Marxist philosophy, made long ago…and here Huey delivers it with a lot of what looks like drunken flair, delivered with down-home cornporn passoion…The utopian Marxist dream of redistributing the wealth is displayed here on steroids. It’s pretty funny to watch.

Here’s some more of what Huey said on the radio in 1934:

Now, my friends, it makes no difference who is President or who is senator. America is for 125 million people and the unborn to come. We ran Mr. Roosevelt for the Presidency of the United States because he promised to us by word of mouth and in writing;1. That the size of the big man’s fortune would be reduced so as to give the masses at the bottom enough to wipe out all poverty: and 2. That the house of labor would be so reduced that all would share in the work to be done and in consuming the abundance mankind produced. There are thousands of share-our-wealth societies organized in the United States now. (In 2012 it’s just one society of Democratics)

Huey went on to suggest that all the multimillionaires and billionaires wealth shall be reduced so that nobody had more than one million.

“But $3 to $4 million is enough for any one person and his children and his children’s children. We propose to limit the amount any one man can earn in one year or inherit to $1 million to the person.”

Huey said that with the money they got from the rich

 ”We could provide a home and the comforts of home with such common conveniences as radio and automobile, for every family in America, free of debts. We guarantee food and clothing and employment for everyone who should work by shortening the hours of labor  to 30 hours per week. Provide education, to everyone, including college. We would give a pension to all persons about sixty years of age. And  would grant a moratorium on all debts which people owe that they cannot pay.

(Nobody says that already do that here in St. Louis. Every year, any one who got a ticket in St. Louis can line up and for $5.00, get their fines dismissed!)

Tell me…isn’t this exactly what they’ve been trying to do for the last decade? Someday when our deficit becomes to big for our children to pay, are they just going take GE’s profits and spread it around?

LOL!

By the way…just so you know and do not remember: Huey Long was assassinated….

Makes you wonder if Obama just learned about Huey.

Chris Christie: Where’s the Pork?

Nobody Wonders

You have to wonder…how in the world can Chris Christie complain about not getting his Sandy relief? Didn’t he come out, and desert the Republicans right before the election? Didn’t he act like Obama had come to SAVE New Jersey? Didn’t he act as if God himself had landed his chariot on the soil of New Jersey, and assure Chris Christie that he was President, and he came and DID garantee, that there would be no more red tape, Chris Christie was going to get ALL the help he needed. So let it be written…so let it be done.

Where was the ‘help’ Obama promised?

Why isn’t he lashing out at ‘President’ Obama? Why isn’t he mentioning that Obama just passed higher taxes on everyone, and that INCLUDES the people who lost their homes in Sandy?

The few last remaining men and women working for the people, have a problem with signing the Sandy funds, and I can’t blame them.

Republican Representative Darrell Issa had this to say about the spending initiatives in the Hurricane Sandy relief bill:

“Your two senators packed this with pork. They had the opportunity to have a $27 to $30 billion dollar legit relief packages, packed it with pork, then dared us not to vote for it.” This include a $150 million in funding for Alaskan fisheries. The bill would also have reportedly increased spending food insurance, and  in $336 million in Amtrak expenses and $2 million in taxpayer funds to repair a room on one of the Smithsonian buildings in Washington D.C.. The publication also reports that the Super Storm Sandy relief legislation also includes $8 million to purchase new vehicles for federal agencies. A total of $4 million for repairs to the Kennedy Space Center were also added to the disaster relief bill.

Really? If the Congress really cared about the American people, they would have immediately passed a bill for Sandy relief, packed with nothing in it, but relief for Sandy victims. Untill there is a bill passed that says they can never load bills with pork, this stuff will happened again and again. Tell me WHY they need money for the Kennedy Space Center when it’s been closed down?

And we all know, they love the fact that they can fill bills with pork, it’s the easiest way for them to get their hands on the money.

So…the DEMOCRATS have released the horrible cry on every single channel:

“THEY ARE MEAN AND VICIOUS AND HURTING THE CHILDREN, and thos poor people! OMG..THE REPUBLICANS!”

And two Republicans, Christ Christie and Peter King are outraged that John Boehner didn’t give them money.

And why should he? One of the reasons Obama got elected was because the second favorite son of the Republican Party deserted them in their hour of need, and yes, it IS politics. Despite what Christie said, he knew exactly what he was doing, and it is all about politics.

John Boehner and Obama both managed to leave Washington without doing much of anything besides helping to destroy America more.   Obama gpt money for his rum dealers, his algae subsidies, his Hollywood buddies so he can make more propaganda films, and then he hopped on Air Force One and went back to Hawaii without even signing the bill that everyone “slaved” over. Spending now, $7 million for his vacation.

Boehner went home without calling a vote on Sandy relief.

BUT….the stock market…continues to soar and Nobody Knows why.

Nobody’s Email: What Has America Become?

Nobody Gets Email

I just got this last week…it’s a pretty good read. It was in a Michigan editoral…and yes…he nailed it.

(Thanks to Tom Beebe)

It’s the Last Day on Earth: Did You Wear Clean Underwear?

Nobody Cares

How much money has been made off of the “END OF THE WORLD” , which according to hundreds of ‘experts’, much like the ‘experts’ of climate change, is today?

Nobody Knows, but I bet it’s in the billions.

So, today is proof, that if you scare people enough, it can make you boatloads of money! Why, Obama used it to scare people into more gun control laws…Hurricane Sandy. What he didn’t mention is how many people were NOT robbed because of the fact that they advertised ON THEIR FRONT DOORS…that robbers would be shot. No, global warming is the reason we should all hand in our guns, because when destruction hits, armed criminals will be armed…and his gun laws will disarm them.

And if you believe that, then you believe that you are going to die today because the “Mayans” said so.

In that case…Nobody hopes you go to a place where sanity is more abundant, and where politicians don’t always get the first tee times by default. Better yet, they go to another place where they are STUCK in front of podiums talking about themselves forever.

 

Nobody’s Fool: Bill Whittle

Nobody’s Fool

This guy is really GOOD! Gee…….I need him at my Christmas dinner party. I’m tired of my very beloved family looking at me, mouth full of turkey, with a “Can’t you talk about something more pleasent?” look. Bill could come to my dinner, look my relatives in the eye, and calmly say these very words to them all…and I would have the gift of true wonder.

Okay…I dream. But thank goodness I found him. Now..YOU have found him too.

Bill Whittle wins my Nobody’s Fool award for the…rest of the year, and probably all of 2013.

Enjoy!
