Nobody's Absurdities, No. 2

Nobody’s Opinion; It’s Wednesday, and here are some thoughts on the absurdities of the world in no particular order;

Last night at our local neighborhood Independence celebration, our Mayor read a piece from the New York Times (He made sure to mention that fact) about soldiers, and the horrors of war. Instead of my beloved Star Spangled Banner finale we heard some country singer mentioning CNN. The theme of the night was “soldiers” and the playing of “Johnny Comes Marching Home” not exactly an upbeat song, was played twice. The whole thing would have been gloomy if not for the spirit of the crowd.

I got the feeling that the Democrats want to make us middle class Americans believe that they really do support the soldiers. So now what…do all Democratic Mayors on the Forth of July get talking points faxes from the national democratic offices telling them what to read at their Holiday bashes? What a coincidence that North Korea on this same day launched missiles. Maybe they got a fax too.

Elton John, that prodigious observer of world events, was so upset that the England soccer club had lost a match at the World Cup that he called them “a disgrace.” He basically said something along the lines that they should have won considering the money they make. This coming from a man who hasn’t had a hit song since Princess Diana died, and that was just an old song, with rewritten words, and who makes much more than some of those soccer stars. Still, I bet the English Soccer team did not get a Video from Bill Clinton congratulating them on their marriages. It seems to me, that the old sportsmanship rules have long faded from the world stage, and soccer is the only thing that gives these poor people in all the socialists’ countries in Europe any feeling of specialness. It seems America is not the only country with spoiled artists.

Speaking of sports, baseball is being played all over our country to empty stadiums. The stadiums, like the movie theaters, have made it too expensive for an average family to attend. Here in St. Louis, they tore down a perfectly grand stadium, to build a new one for the rich. In the old stadium, you could walk around the whole field and still watch the game from three levels. In the new, if you leave your seat, you cannot see the game, and you might get rained on standing in line for food. The rich of course are in well protected rooms, being served by waiters. Since St. Louis is such a great baseball town, one wonders what will happen when there are not enough rich to attend the games?

Which brings me to the subject of how now when you go to a show, you will see advertising on a concert at your local theater? You pay of course. Why should anyone who has cable go to a movie theatre to see a concert? I often wonder if anyone actually goes to these.

Jesse Jackson has come out again, after being quiet for some time, and is boycotting BP oil. Not Chavez’s Chevron. Of course, it’s the same old “there are not black executives or black distributors owners at BP.” Jesse has used this tactic before, getting beer distributorships for both of his sons. I guess his sons now want some oil distributions. If you are a relative of Jesse’s, your time to get some of that oil profit is looking pretty good.

Dick Morris was suggesting that Joseph Lieberman run for an Inpendent last week, and sure enough, this week he proclaims that is exactly what he intends to do. So, of course Hillary says she will not endorse him. The democrats will need an independent party candidate running to give Hillary a better chance of slipping into the White House, like her husband. Lieberman, once again, steps up to the plate.

SPP stands for Security Prosperity Partnership. This was the deal signed in Waco by the three leaders; Paul Martin, Vicente Fox, and George Bush in 2005. It’s was the forming of the North American Union. Don’t you love it when words are carefully chosen to fool all the people into thinking it’s a “good” thing and harmless, instead of what it really is…the end of American Sovereignty.? And just who is going to prosper from this deal? With one stroke of the pen….

We had a comet barely miss us yesterday. And unlike the movie Armageddon, where the United States sent a nuclear warhead up to blow it up before it hit us…the reality is, we have just about as much chance as blowing up a comet as we do blowing up a missile from North Korea. Maybe NASA should have a new goal…find life on Earth.

Nobody’s Perfect; It was an interesting fact that when Woodrow Wilson was President, the Federal Reserve was started along with the income tax, and the League of Nations. Woodrow Wilson's actions being proof of just how much damage one democrat can do.

Nobody Knows; Will they be able to give the President a Line-item-veto? Is this news just like the Flag Amendment, just fluff to let us all think that they will stop spending our money?

Nobody Cares; Everyone is saying that Los Angeles is due for an earthquake, but nobody seems to care that Mexico City sits on a big fault and the city itself is built on soft mud. Which city if hit by a major quake would cost the United States taxpayers more?
