Keep On Grinding!

Nobody Reports on a Monday:

Keep Grinding!

Nobody’s Opinion: I cannot even believe it’s the last day of 2007. I just read that the ball falling in Times Square is going to be green, a law was just signed that says we all have to switch our old light bulbs to the more expensive ones being made, of course by GE, by 2012, and that the U.S. Postal office is going to honor Chinese astrology by putting “The Year of the Rat” on a new stamp.

And if you blame any of these ridiculous changes on President George W. Bush, I envy you…because you either slept through the last year, or were too drunk to care. The rest of us have been having a pretty hard time between candidate polling updates, Viagra ads, Bill Clinton sucking up to his wife, and wondering just when Brad Pitt was going to get rid of Angelina Jolie and go save poor Brittany Spears, who obviously is an alien.

But, synchronicity in this God’s universe can be a beautiful thing because “The Year of the Rats” could not describe more succinctly our upcoming national presidential campaign that we will be forced to endure.

That and the premonition that Al Gore is just warming up.

Nobody’s Perfect: Okay, that’s me. I can’t for the life of me figure out how so many billions of people on the earth can possible think that when family members keep succeeding other family members in government, when the law says they cannot serve anymore---how is that ANY different than the British monarchy and kings of old?

In Pakistan, a 19-year old boy is going to replace his assassinated mother, in name only, because dear old dad could not be elected because he was tried and convicted, but he will run the show again…and...Huh? While here in America, an ex-President will run his wife and she will give him full power to serve with her…and all this in the name of democracy? I’m confused.

To me it isn’t any different than the heritary kings of old, the system our forefathers were trying to get rid of.

Sure they hold elections, but they shouldn’t be allowed to even run. I just don’t get it.

Nobody Knows; The center of the Western World now seems to reside in Dubai. The New York Times reported that the wealthiest men from Wall Street took their yearly traditional party to honor the best Dealmakers of the year from New York, and moved it to the Burj al Arab Hotel. All the big boys---Goldman Sacks, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanly--- got to pat themselves on the back between the sands of the crescent moons.

The day I started writing was the day that President George W. Bush wanted to sell all the American ports to Dubai, and tried to warn us that we had better do it.

So what happened ? Did George Bush Jr. lose our ports to some sheik in a bad game of Texas Hold Em’ at some Dubai Hotel?

Nobody Cares; There is good news! Rap music is losing its luster! Recording sales have gone down 21 % since 2005. But the boys are going to keep on grinding…that is if they can keep alive. Pimp C, was found dead in his hotel room---which makes you wonder what happened to Pimp A and Pimp B. And then his friend Bun B had a hard time dealing with it. Anyway you look at it; I certainly would go for a little less rap and a little more real music again.

Nobody Wins: Osama bin has made another statement about “blood for blood” and wiping Israel off the map. Really. You think this man would get a life by now. And any candidate that says they are going to use “diplomacy” with some of these idiots will be following the way of the recent Bhutto, who said, “I’m not making deals with the military, I’m having a dialogue with them about how we can get a transition to democracy.”

That went well.

Nobody’s Fool: Well, one thing for sure, in the next year Obama will keep saying he’s “black,” Hillary will keep saying she has “experience,” Al Gore will keep saying we’re all going to die…

The world will still have too many fools who are going to believe it all.

But not this one. I plan to barbeque.

Happy New Year Everyone! Independence Forever!
