Nobody Reports on a Monday: America the Disposable
Nobody’s Opinion: It’s been a constant joke these past two weeks watching Obama Hussein and Hillary Rodham fight 24/7 over who gets to go to the prom: the black man, against the white woman, against the war veteran.
The arguments so petty, so annoying---I’d like to throw them all out in a disposable cup.
One was falling off his lofty perch of unity, the other falling down into her pit of endless, bottomless lies, the third making the usual lame speeches.
Most of us are turning on Saturday Night Live for a much needed redemption from a sad affair.
And yet, at the same time, in a cosmic event of superb timing… David McCullough’s fine biography of John Adams, being recreated on HBO, presents an almost unbearable comparison of just how great our founders were, and how really low we have sunk as a nation when what we see as contenders to the office of the Presidency could not even hold a position of busboy to our original great founders.
Not any of our contenders, Hillary, Obama, or McCain, compare to them in integrity, character, education, creativity, or just sheer common vision of what our nation should be. They have all fallen into the guise of socialism/communism/globalism and the furthering of big government: controlling not only our lives, but the rest of the world.
They are our founder’s worst nightmares….all three of them.
I can’t help it. It’s getting hard not to agree with the rest of the world that the United States has become a meddling dictator of “democracy” when in every speech, we hear whatever President that is in office at the time, say things like, “Well, “I” am pleased with Ethiopia, or this is what “I” want such and such a nation to do…”
As if all nations must adhere to the President of the United States.
Pounded into our heads daily is the mantra that if we just give enough money and build up the rest of the world, they will love us.
If we spread “democracy” there will be no more wars.
So far---it hasn’t happened.
But what has happened is there are now Wal-Mart’s, KFCs, McDonalds, Marlboro Cigarettes, General Electric, and the US military in just about every country in the world.
What has happened is that our enemies are becoming richer and more powerful everyday; because of our leader’s continuous disgraceful shortsightedness.
By our goods we are told, we will conquer. That is their motto. The American government, in hand with big international corporations, will build the world. Free trade is our savior.
It’s a grand plan.
But while the CEOs of Coke, Wal-Mart, and Microsoft become richer with the spread of their products throughout the world, they leave the bill to “We-the-People”…who are now in debt to China for the rest of our great-great-grandchildren’s lives.
The American people must now slave to enrich other nations. Our own lives and our children’s lives are, it seems…disposable.
We are being downsized.
To make us feel better about all of this sacrifice, the politicians in return say that China will bring us cheap goods.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think eighty dollars is exactly a cheap price for a good pair of tennis shoes. Sure---you can get a pair for twenty bucks at Wal-Mart, but they wear out in a year.
And that’s the point.
In the marketing world, everything must be disposable. Products are made to have a limited lifetime, much better for the bottom line.
It didn’t use to be like that.
Our founders gave us an indisposable Constitution.
It’s about time “We the People” start disposing of rulers that only are looking out for some global bottom line, which mostly includes them and their friends.
Let them rot in the trash heap of history, along with MTV.

Nobody’s Perfect; Chelsea Clinton acted like a true royal heir to the Clinton Crown last week when she attacked a student for asking a question she didn’t like at a college. Why--she had been to over seventy colleges and no one had dared mention the subject of her father’s impeachment.
Now, if Chelsea had been smart, she could have used this time to say, “That’s why my mother would make a better President than my father!” But, evidently, she’s not.
Nobody Knows; The New National Baseball Stadium, built on orders from President Bush in Washington D.C., has built a special Presidential room right behind home plate for all our Presidents and politicians. So, when will we see these special Presidential rooms in all the parks?
Nobody Cares; Angela Merkel of Germany says she is going to boycott the Olympics in Beijing due to China’s treatment of Tibet. The Dalia Lama and Angela evidently had good tea time. (I know, pretty bad.)
Nobody Wins: I’m not sure I understand just how the government bailed out the banks this week, but you can just bet—somebody made billions on the deal.
Nobody’s Fool: Everybody thinks Hillary and Bill are finished. What I cannot believe is that, after all we’ve seen of these two, how can anyone doubt that she will not be President? Bill and Hillary will glue themselves into the office on Air Force One if push comes to shove.
Frankly, I wish they would. Bill has said he thinks mummies are sexy. He might finally get together with the old girl if they are glued there long enough.
