—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!
It’s funny how sports can mimic real life isn’t it? At the White House Easter Egg Roll this year, Obama decided he’d show off his great skills in basketball with some kids in attendance, by shooting hoops…and out of 22 he got…2.
Nobody Thinks his basketball playing matches his real life score as President:
!. He promised to lower the deficit. He missed. He tripled it in four years.
2. He promised that the stimulus would bring more jobs. Another miss. The real unemployment number is around 22 percent.
3. He promised to bring America’s respect in the world back. He missed. We are now hated more than ever.
4. He promised to end the war in Iraq. He missed. We are still there.
5. He promised that everyone could keep their doctor when he passed Obamacare. He missed. Most people will lose their doctor, and soon we will have a shortage.
6. He promised his administration would be the most transparent in history. He missed. It’s even more secretive than any previous one before in history.
7. He promised that we’d all get along better if he became President. He missed. We haven’t been this divided since the Civil War.
8. He promise the NAACP that if elected President, the blacks would have it better than ever before. He missed. The black’s unemployment and drop-out rate is at an all time high.
9. He promised that Obamacare would lower insurance premiums for everyone. He missed. Everyone’s insurance has gone up.
10. He promised that no one making under $250,000 would ever have to pay more taxes. He missed. Right after his second election, everyone’s taxes, went up.
11. He promised to put to fix the budget. He missed. Sometimes he didn’t even submit a budget and everyone that he has submitted has been rejected.
12. He promised that he would go after the wealthy. He missed. He gave all his wealthy friends big handouts. He made GE’s CEO, Jeffery Immelt a Cabinet secretary, and his company paid no taxes at all.
13.He promised to uphold the Constitution. He missed again. In fact, he goes around the Constitution and Congress whenever he can.
14. He says he is a Christian. He missed. He insists that Christian symbols be removed from any pictures, and he supports abortion even after six months.
15. He says he was born in Hawaii. He missed. He was born in Kenya, just ask his grandmother who was at the birth.
16. He says he reaches out to Republicans. He missed. He never reaches out to them. He blames them for everything. He had them over once for lunch, and that was when Rand Paul was filibustering Obama’s right to kill Americans.
17. He says he believes in democracy. He missed. Obama has given himself sole power over everything should he deem it necessary.
18. He says he is happily married. He missed. He almost never takes a vacation with his wife anymore.
19. He said he hardly knew Revered Wright. He missed. He sat in his church for over 20 years.
20. He swore to protect and defend America. He missed. He is slashing the military in half.
Okay…let’s give him the two he might have got right shall we?
21. He fathered two daughters.
22. He got himself reelected.
On the whole, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Nobody Thinks that maybe next year at the basketball throw that Obama put in just so he could show off…he might miss more.
I’ll say…his real life score is about 666 to 2. (Feel free to add any that I missed.)
This year’s CPAC was full of surprises. Every year, the candidate who won the straw poll, usually went on to win the nomination for the party, but this year, Karl Rove has his work cut out for him–it was the libertarian Rand Paul who won—Marco Rubio came in second, probably due to the fact that Ann Coulter ripped him to shreds about his immigration issues. As great as Rubio is: he is on board with amnesty, which would make him a good VP for Jeb Bush, and as Ann pointed out, you get amnesty, you get democrats forever more.
I bet Rubio didn’t see that coming. Nobody can steamroll you like Ann.
Already this morning Karl Rove was on some talk show, telling everyone that Rand Paul just got lucky and took a propitious moment doing the filibuster, because Eric Holder screwed up by not answering his questions on drones, and he ran with it. Karl thought it was smart, but then he went on another one of his famous Rove attacks. Why, nobody knows that Rand Paul would have arrested Anwar Al-Awlaki instead of killing him with a drone. Americans, don’t know how bad Rand Paul would be on protecting us.
(Gee Karl, George W. Bush, did a bang up job with that “protection” stuff. Have you talked to any 9/11 widows lately? )
I’ve heard Rand Paul talk about this incident, and he has said time and again that he is not against using drones in a war zone..but when the 16-year-old, Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki, was also killed in the attack, Jay Carney had this to say about it, and Rand Paul didn’t like it much:
“I would suggest that you should have a far more responsible father if they are truly concerned about the well being of their children. I don’t think becoming an al Qaeda jihadist terrorist is the best way to go about doing your business.”
I listened to the speakers most of the day while I was cleaning my house.. all of them were good, some were boring. The crowd to me looked very small, and you have to wonder how much it costs to go there, rent a hotel, buy tickets…I know I couldn’t afford it. Republicans don’t bus people in.
Sarah Palin was amazing in her speech and form. She is becoming adept at being a great speaker, and no doubt will make most of her living off of it. She mixed the Big Gulp with the “I got the rack” joke. She was a real hit, but did she put her name in the straw poll?
No. Sarah has no intention of running. And then, after Sarah, came my favorite, Phyllis Schlafly, the grand old lady…walking slow, proud, she almost reminded me of the great Ronald Reagan. I first learned about her through Ann Coulter. To me, this woman is right up there with Margaret Thatcher. No, she never ran for office, but she has done great things for America…
Listen to this speech, it’s a winner! (start at 1.35 and skip the jokes if you like.)
Like the great Ronald Reagan, Mrs. Schlafly is a real fighter, and like Reagan she speaks with a clear, voice of reason.
She, more than anybody there…had it right. (In my Nobody Opinion)
There IS a fight for the heart and soul of the Republican party right now. This last loss was worst than the rest and Phyllis Schlafly hit the Rhino’s where it hurts. It’s probably the reason you can’t find her speech on YouTube. (I couldn’t.)
She called every one of the Republican nominees in the last decade a “bunch of losers.” And then she pointed out, who is keeping those losers at the top. Karl Rove.
“We need to have the grass roots take over these bunch of losers.”
And if there is an Rhino enemy list: in my mind, Karl Rove is right at the top, . Now, when I see Karl Rove on TV, I turn Fox off. If we all did that, sooner or later FOX would get him off of there. According to Phyllis, Karl had 400 millions to spend, on 31 candidates and he only won 7 races.
If CNN and MSNBC, are working for the Democrats, FOX has way too much time given to Karl Rove, who basically lost the last election for us. I don’t think he wanted Romney to win. If he comes out promoting Jeb Bush, then odds are, Romney’s loss was no big deal to him.
Of course the libs are already making fun of CPAC. One guy said it was as if he was watching some old outdated Moose lodge fraternity meeting. And really, that’s how they defeat us. The main points everyone made throughout the day was none of them were good at getting the message across.
The real problem is: The Republican message is very weak.
Will Karl Rove be able to bring down Rand Paul….after all, he’s already started with attacks?
Nobody Suggests: We give Rand some help. I have been blaming George W. Bush for Obama being elected: It seems, I have been blaming the wrong person: It’s Karl Rove we need to get rid of.
As I supported the RICH man Donald Trump in the last election, many of my readers lost hope in me. But I had my reasons: If we are going to be ruled by an oligarchy, why not put a man in who loves the country and who actually could BEAT Obama?
Yes, I happen to know many democrats that would have voted for Trump.
I liked it when he questioned Obama’s birth certificate, and when he said he would build a party room for the White House so they wouldn’t have to keep throwing parties out on the lawn…and now, thanks to a suggestion from Newt Gingrich (who by the way, could afford to throw in a few bucks too) he is offering to pay for the White House Tours that Obama closed down.
From Newsmax:
Donald Trump says he’s willing to rescue the White House tours by financing the costs of the popular tourism activity the Obama administration cancelled last week as automatic spending cuts took hold.
“I guess it’s political. They want to hurt the people,” he said. “It’s just really ridiculous. I don’t think it’s a big deal, frankly. But it does make us look awfully bad and awfully pathetic.”
Yes, a fine word for Obama: pathetic.
I like it. Nevertheless, Trump is out nothing because he knows Obama won’t take the offer, so therefore he can make himself look good by saying he’d do it, not that he wouldn’t do it…just that he didn’t get rich by making bad bets.
Anyway, I know he has drawbacks…but if we have to have a big rich ego in the White House, I’d take my chances with Donald. 
Okay…so he likes to put his name on buildings, but what politician hasn’t?
Don’t worry…this Nobody’s Pick for President will never happen….and that’s a good thing, because Donald would want his kids to become future Presidents, and we would probably have another family dynasty we would never get rid of.
Paul Rand did a good job yesterday filibustering on the Senate floor to make the point— that the fact that the President can use drones on American soil to kill just anybody he wants to, without permission from anyone, is unconstitutional and he is dead right. I didn’t see it, but by all accounts it was wonderful. 
So today Nobody Wonders why the whole Senate was not there giving him support…but instead, having dinner with the President?
Old guard Republicans were having dinner with the President. Let that sink in.
Nobody Also Wonders if George W. Bush would be supporting drone attacks on people here on our soil. Would he agree with the old Rhino’s? You bet he would.
Today, the established RHINO’s John McCain and Lindsey Graham have come out to ostracized Paul Rand for pulling such a stunt. They treated him as if he were a mere frat boy pulling a prank.
“The country needs more senators who care about liberty, but if Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in their college dorms. He needs to know what he’s talking about,” said Mr. McCain, Republicans’ presidential nominee in 2008.
Mr. Graham said asking whether the president has the power to kill Americans here at home is a ludicrous question. “I do not believe that question deserves an answer,” Mr. Graham said.
Well gee…now we’re not even allowed to question. (Oh…term limits…term limits…term limits…term limits….)
And while the Rhino’s in the Senate are busy attacking the last lone guard to the Constitution, today we get the spiffy message that Dennis Rodman just made little Kim Jung Um madder. He is just dying to use his nukes:
“North Korea threatened to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on its “aggressors,” including the U.S., ahead of a United Nations vote on tougher sanctions against the totalitarian state for last month’s atomic A foreign ministry spokesman said: “Since the United States is about to ignite a nuclear war, we will be exercising our right to pre-emptive nuclear attack against the headquarters of the aggressor in order to protect our supreme interest.”
Nobody Wonders how Senators can be so angry at a true patriotic Senator trying to hold back the tyrannical erosion of American liberties, and yet— be so silent about a man who has said he is going to nuke us?
And is the reason they are so bent on having killer drones over America is because they (Being the Rhino’s and the democrats who seem to be now one party) decided long ago to let millions of Mexicans flood the country to “fix our old-age population problem” thereby deciding the risk was worth the cost of letting in dangerous citizens from other countries with nuclear weapons?
Nobody Wonders every single day….if they are already here?
Or do they just want the power to rule as tyrants? And once again, Obama stays silent on a country with nukes threatening every single day to use them. Instead, he is planning another vacation.
Obama is the enemy we know. But John McCain is turning out to be a traitor. Maybe all those years in prison turned John into a sympathizer with his prison guards…a sympathizer with communism..
John McCain is starting to look like Jane Fonda…all he needs…is a boob job.
