Nobody Has a Favorite E-Mail of the Week

Nobody Has a Favorite E-Mail of the Week--

Now, as Barack 'come have a beer and meeet my lieettle friend' Obama would say..."Let me be perfectly clear."

I just get these e-mails. I have NO idea if they are true, made up, or whatever...but I do happen to think this one might be true, because I played piano too many nights in the middle of hotel lounges thinking I was doing a great job, and everyone would pretty much ignore me...unless of course, they were Arabs who thought the piano player was just a call girl with talent. In that case, I got a room number and a ten. That happened a lot.

Sad but true story---

Washington DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
4 minutes later:the violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the till and, without stopping, continued to walk.

6 minutes:A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

10 minutes:A3 year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly, as the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced them to move on.

45 minutes:The musician played. Only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace.He collected $32.

1 hour:He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities. The questions raised: in a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ....

How much beauty, joy, love do we fail to appreciate?

Nobody Flashes Sex Goddes VS the Michelin Man

Nobody Flashes!

Today, it was reported that the new Health Care Czar, Mrs. Potter, and the New Car Tire Czar, Mike Michell, met at the White House to have a beer with "President" Obama.

It seems they've been fighting.

There had been much controversy over the fact that last week Mike had offended Mrs. Potter upon saying that she was MUCH too fat to the the New Health Care Czar...

She countered back that he was none too skinny himself, and besides, a man made out of rubber tires, as every one knows, (next to Nancy Pelosi) are just about the biggest polluters on the planet, therefore he is the last person that should be running the department of new "green" Car Tires.

He has his nerve.

She is planning to sue him for damaging her reputation as sex goddess.

He in turn, is appalled, because he really is an American Icon, where she is just some old fossil.

The President, sided with Mrs. Potter, and says this kind of discrimination against fat sexy women goes on all the time, and we all need to take up smoking...

That didn't help matters much.

Hopefully, the President can help both of these new czars rise above their petty problems and use this as a teaching moment so that we can all learn to just get along.

Nobody's Fool: Obama: "Can't Touch This!"





Nobody’s Fool: “You Can’t Touch Me.”

This morning, it hit me…the “offense.”

Three white liberal pundits on CNN were discussing the outrageousness of so many people wanting to see Obama’s birth certificate. Why these people were nothing but racists…it really didn’t matter…even if Obama was NOT born an American…it was a trivial matter. What was terrible was NOT that Obama had broken the law, committing perjury, but that there were people even wanting proof that he was actually a citizen.

These people were dirt-bag KKK’s.

Now, knowing that nothing happens by coincidence, I kept digging around. I found out that now Rush Limbaugh has taken up the call for proof. WorldNetDaily has been on this for quite some time…and Obama has forbidden anyone looking at any of his records.

So…if you were in Obama’s war room, what would YOU do? Exactly what he and the people that he has associated himself with for years…you use guilt, you use extortion, and you pull the race card.

And flop that old guilt card right on top. After all, the concept of “guilt” has kept many a people under thumb, no matter if it is administered by a Pastor or a Jesse Jackson.

Right now, I am watching the CNN special about Black in America 2…and I have to admit, this program is all part of the “blacks have sufferer, and will continue to suffer.”

Give us more money.

The program shows a Muslim black woman giving a seminar on the need for black marriages. Right after that, we see a black doctor (who has at least a whole lot of white ancestors due to her white skin) talk about how breast cancer is the biggest killer of black women. And guess what? Blacks only trust black doctors…they need more of them. They want more black teachers. They want all black everything. Diversity comes in only one color to them...black.

That’s in the Health Bill…

And the commercials get into the effort. Black kids say they will invent vaccines! Just give us free educations! As Glenn Beck pointed out, the heath care bills have tons of goodies for more free everything for black people. He has rightly put the arrow in the mark when it comes to “reparations.”

Now, white men will not go into medicine…their chances of getting in “free” like the blacks will seem too unfair, they won’t even try.

Vernon Jordon came out last week, moaning about the blacks being treated, but the clincher of the “black extortion” came this week---with Obama.

Obama last week, said that the arguments against Universal Health care were about him. And at the time, I didn’t think anything of it. But…he is setting up his defense. Make no mistake; this WILL be his defense for his RIGHT to stay President. If people reject his programs, it’s because he is black.

That’s a fact…he will say. Which is absurd, but there it is…the offense. Obama has to be worried about this “birth certificate” so, he is getting ready…Even if it is proven in a court of law, if you demand that he step down, and then you do it because you are racist.

And if you refuse his Health Care System, It’s because you are racist.

After all, this race card worked for Jesse Jackson all these years. Both his sons got really nice multi-million dollar Budweiser dealerships.

But…now, when the screams against health care are coming in, Obama gives a speech, and then at the end, he had the perfect racist bullet. (What timing!) One of his Harvard friends was arrested IN HIS OWN HOME by a racist cop! A stupid one at that. And oh, how black people are being held down.

One might think, this is common for Obama, and I would have thought so too…just a coincidence…but what are the chances that a Harvard Professor gets locked out of his house, and throws such a big tantrum that they have to arrest him, and THEN his good friend Obama goes off a National message to use him as an example for how white people really hate black people?

Now…in the war rooms of power, if you can accuse Bill Clinton of being a racist, get yourself elected President, getting a friend to help promote the “cause:” the cause of Muslim and blacks coming into power…is pretty easy.

Set-up? Gee…if Joe Kennedy can get the mobs in Chicago to give his boy the Presidency, a Harvard temper tantrum seems pretty small potatoes.

Here in St. Louis, I heard on the news tonight that our bankrupt city, is going to be opening 14 brand new year round, experimental black schools. For the last five years, all the black kids’ schools closed down in the city (16) and our district took them all in.

Of course, the working class white people who have lived in these suburbs, and who have lost their jobs, got hit really hard. Their property taxes paid for all the new schools to be built to accommodate them.

St. Louis is to be the “new” experimental city…we hear soon that sounds of solar panels being put up on all the poor blacks houses in the city.

The CNN program is ending now. (I'm watching this while I type this.) Chris, an ex-con, is having a hard time finding a job. He has one kid, and a kid on the way. (not married) He quit his job because he was getting tired, has to budget, and yet, nothing is mentioned that whites are having the same problems. Chris has no health insurance.

Poor Chris…he goes out in his Hummer, and robs a house--gets catch. His girlfriend has a baby on the way. She is sad…

His parole officer, who is black, says that the “odds are stacked against him."

Well, with a President like Obama, I think now, the odds are stacked against us all.

(PS…next week…on CNN...Hispanics in America!)

What if Obama Had to Use His Universal Health Care?




Nobody Wins: Obama's Health Care

Just imagine: What if, Obama, the President of the United States, had a stroke one night, and had to go by the same health care that he wants for the rest of the country….here’s what would happen:

6:13 pm. Michelle is in her personal office, upstairs in the White House, shopping online. She hears someone coming down the hall. She gets up only to see her husband stretching out his hand to hold himself up against the wall.

Michelle: “What’s wrong, honey?” Obama doesn’t talk, he can’t speak…he is trying to talk, but can’t.

Michelle; “Oh my GOD…come in here and lie down!” She gets him to lie on their bed. She picks up the nearest phone. “Hurry…I think my husband is having a stroke…he can’t talk…HURRY!”

6:15 pm Within minutes the paramedics rush in. They put Obama on a stretcher…they hurry him outside to the ambulance. Michelle, in a panic runs to get her coat…she is shouting at the secret service…”Don’t tell the girls!”

6:22 pm President Obama is loaded into an ambulance. Michelle jumps in the front seat as the medical examiner explains she cannot sit in the back.

Michelle: Turns to the driver and says, “What are you waiting for? Let’s GO!”

Driver: “I can’t---all the hospitals are full. We have to wait for permission.”

Michelle: “What do you mean? This is the PRESIDENT!”

Driver: “Sorry, Mrs. Obama. Your husband has agreed in good faith to use the same Universal Health Care System as everyone else.”

Michelle: “But, we can’t SIT here…every minute counts!”

Driver: says nothing.

6:33 pm Still sitting in the driveway.

Michelle: “Well god, let’s just drive for God’s sake.”

Driver: “I’m waiting for a go ahead, they have to call me.” But, to make Michelle feel better, the driver slowly takes off at about 2 miles per hour.

Michelle: looks back at her husband and sees he is having hard time breathing.
“Don’t let him lay him on his back! He smokes…he has a hard time breathing on his back.”

Her orders are ignored.

7:30 pm. The ambulance arrives at the hospital, but no one comes out.

Michelle: “Well, go get someone!”

Driver: “Sorry, Mrs. Obama, we can’t go in.”

Michelle: “Why not?!” she screams.

Driver: “Because there are only two doctors on the site, and they are working on two men with gunshots wounds. They had a bad drug fight in the city tonight. They haven’t told us yet that they will take him.”

Michelle: “Well, let’s go to another hospital!”

Driver: “The nearest one will take us forty minutes to reach, but, it’s up to you. I’ll have to get permission.”

Michelle: “No…no”…she gets out and runs into the hospital.

Finally, after waiting in the parking lot, for what seems like an eternity, someone comes and takes Obama to a waiting room in the emergency ward.

10: pm: A nurse comes in, and hands Michelle some paperwork. “Please, fill out these government forms…We need to know what happened so that we can put it into our computer system.”

Michelle: She throws the paper at the nurse, “He’s the freaking President! What’s wrong with you people! I want a doctor NOW!”

Nurse: “I’m sorry Mrs. Obama; there are no doctors on the premises right now. What’s seems to be his problem?”

Michelle: “He’s having a stroke!!! He can’t talk!! He’s also having hard time breathing!! Get him off his back!!” They do not do this last request.

Nurse: “Well, we’ll get him down to x-ray.”

10:55 pm. Obama goes for MRI, and Scat Scan of his brain, only after permission was giving. This takes two hours, and Michelle is not allowed in.

12:15am---An intern comes in and tells Mrs. Obama that the brain damage doesn’t look promising…but because he was a smoker, he is now placed on the “let expire” list.

1:45 pm. Obama is sent to an intensive care room, where Michelle is told a doctor will see him in the morning.

The next day, three neurologists say he’s brain dead, and should not be kept alive.

Michelle: “But he is talking to me! I just spoke to him! He asked me why they were doing all this stuff to him!”

Doctors: “Well, that’s a common response, he is still brain dead. No reason to keep him alive, we COULD of course, but we don’t do that anymore.”

Obama passes away, in a coma, seven days later of--- starvation. The autopsy found his lung had collapsed during the stroke, and the extensive brain damage was caused by the delay of medical attention and lack of oxygen to the brain due to the collapsed lung. Also, due to the doctors being tied up in the operating room, where two illegal immigrants suffering gunshot wounds, they got first priorities over the President, under the new health care system.

Joe Biden is now President.

The next day he bombs the Ukraine.

God help us all---We have a “Dr. Death” in the White House. If only our politicians had to go on the same system that they want us on.

You think its bad now, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
(Scenario based on actual experiences by nobody.)

Jackson Browne and Newt Gingrich...Agreeing?


Nobody's Opinion: What do Jackson Browne and Newt Gingrich have in common?
They both think a lot about "war" and the lives in the balance...the millions killed, the millions soon to be killed, or whatever.They are just on two different sides when it comes to who to blame.
Evidently, Jackson Browne won his legal case against John McCain today, who was using his song, "Running on Empty" without his permission during the last Presidential campaign.
I do think, despite the fact that I think Jackson Browne is very much an idiot when it comes to political issues because he voted for Obama, (which shows you how much deeeeeep thought he has put into reading and thinking about the world)-- I do think that he has a point.
McCain should have known better, and probably did. But McCain is used to power, so therefore he probably thought...who cares? He's just a musician.
You see, I happen to think most of these older musicians, like Jackson Browne, got hooked on smoking grass in the sixties, and well, it's keep them in a brain damaged, smokey, time warp. They remember all the wasted lives in Vietnam, and therefore, every war is Vietnam, and America is always the villain. Jackson Browne is a well known liberal and voted for Obama.
And nobody (me) points out just hypocritical he is because all the free use downloads of his songs over the years with the Internet, and he only complains about it NOW? Well, that's because he was being associated with a man who was actually, a war hero. Not something Jackson Browne, the old hippie, wants on his liberal, I am against war of all kinds, record.
(Yes, go ahead and blow your bong...take a deeeep whiff---continue.)
He also does another song called "Lives in the Balance" which I happen to love. (video) And if you just listen to the WORDS without thinking of any "party" you might come to the conclusion that he actually makes a lot of common sense.
Nevertheless...the pictures in the video make the Bush administration look like all they want to do is kill babies and make money on the war in Iraq. It's pretty sickening. As usual, it has maimed babies, and the redundant propaganda of the liberal political message...in this case, Jackson Browne's.
So, has Jackson Browne done a video about how Obama is maiming babies in Afghanistan?
Anyone?
It's funny how these people NEVER realized, probably because they were all too stoned, that most of the Vietnam war was started and kept going by, yes, liberal democrats! Why...who knew? Noooooooo...it was Nixon, they say. That's their story and they're sticking to it.
(Now, take a deep toke...good...continue.)
Newt came out today and suggested that we would be attacked, because we have a liberal in the White House, and they really don't care about defense. Sometimes it seems to be the ONLY difference between the two parties.
Now, I don't know where Jackson Brown lives, but if any city in the United States gets nuked, who exactly is he going to blame? Obama? Rumsfield? Bush?
We could just as well blame Jackson Browne. Why not?
It's the President's job, to defend, and protect the United States. And even if Bush was the puppet, jumping to the masters of big business as it seems that what our public servants of both parties have been doing..I for one, loved it when he landed on that carrier in his pilot suit.
I thought he looked dashing.
I want a George Washington, in front of the troops...don't you? You should. I hate to tell all the wiffy liberal boys, but the men in those evil counties judge you on your manhood, not whether you speak a good game. It the big guns they respect.
Jackson Brown....tell me, why do you think they all want those big guns? And don't say it's only "fair" because we have them...please. Is it "fair" that America is bigger than Iran? Is it "fair" that you are getting old and haven't had a hit in quite a while?
(Now, blow out a nice ring, and go with these thoughts, and go get yourself a brownie.)
If you are too stoned to know the very dangers of the East against the West, Communism against freedom...then you probably can download and play Jackson's songs all you want.
He won't mind.
Frankly, I wish Jackson would get out of the past, put down that joint, and listen to his own words with more of an open mind...and pray that they don't nuke L.A. because it won't matter who sings his songs after that.
It's a crazy world. And I think that Newt and Browne are really on the same page. They just don't know it yet.
Let's hope they figure it out before it's too late.

Somebody Forgot to Report on a Monday...





Nobody Cares: Somebody didn’t report on a Monday, because… well…. I was sitting with my husband in the back yard Monday evening, and we looked at each other, both dead tired, and said…

“Let’s do it.”

We decided it was such a nice night; we’d go to one of the last drive-in movie theatres probably in existence in the country. We hadn’t been to a drive in movie for over fourteen years.

This was at 7pm, and the only drive-in we could find was over an hour away, in another state, in a small Illinois town---Belleville. We didn’t get home until 2.30 am…so therefore, by that time, since I AM a nobody, I thought “#$%” it, I’m too tired to write.

Besides, I couldn’t figure out one subject to pick from…so tonight, (since it took me the whole day to recover) are my lists of random thoughts from MONDAY…which will, get lost in time after I put them down here…just like the Drive-In’s of America.

And after you will read them, I’m sure you will agree…nobody did the right thing.

NOTE: Obama ran on the platform that he thought the Iraq war was all wrong, and that when elected, he was going to “bring the troops home.” So, he gets elected, takes the men from Iraq, and just ships them to Afghanistan, and now wants 20,000 more troops because, as Gates has noted, too many men are committing suicide. And yet…Chris Matthews continues to change pants.

NOTE: There is a kid (about ten) up the street that I am particularly fond of, named Alex. The other day, while I was walking my dog, he came up to me and blurted, “I have no friends to play with.” Then he walked away. This kid lives with his grandparents because his parents don’t want him. And the grandparents just lost a son last year, who was shot in a bad drug deal. Today he came down to the house, on his skateboard while I was watering my flowers and said, “Someone stole my bike.” He was so sad, all I could do was hug him…and yet, I see that he is slowly losing his natural proclivity to have fun, he is much too lonely, and I can only sprinkle on this heart.

NOTE: We saw Harry Potter's new movie at the drive-in…and found out that NOW those funny speakers are gone. Now you tune your car into a radio station. After the first movie, a kid came up to us as we were sitting outside in lawn chairs and asked,” Have you got any jumper cables?”

Ha!

Harry Potter was…depressing. Hogwarts it seems, no longer has funny ghosts and tables full of food, but is suffering like the rest of us…sometimes art should NOT imitate reality. Harry Potter is in the recession too.

NOTE: We just had 100 dogs captured from a dog fighting operation here in Missouri. Mostly pit bulls. They are looking for homes for these poor mutts. And yet, the NAACP does nothing. Where’s PETA? Where’s Angelina Jolie? Why don’t they make these people fight each other till the death and see how they like it?

NOTE: Hillary was all excited about India purchasing nuclear stuff from America. Gee, nuclear power is good for India, but not for us. Something tells me, by the looks on her face, that this job is just killing her, she hates it.

Of course, her sour faces makes Sarah Palin’s recent actions seem all the more honest.

NOTE: It’s here. We now have our first Muslim shop in my neighborhood. It’s is just so weird seeing ARABIC neon signs right next to a Pizza place. I have no idea what the sign says, but they have shoes, and as far as I know…bin Laden runs it.

NOTE: Someone was trying to vote in Congress today on giving all hate crimes the death penalty…huh? Boy, that’s a new one. That’s a pit bull law if ever there was one…maybe I dreamed it.

NOTE: By all accounts, the Republicans are going to run the ultra rich billionaire Mitt Romney against Obama in the next election. Oh, right…the man who showed Obama how to pass mandatory health care. I guess he’s the ace-in-the hole, just in case Obama can’t get it passed.

NOTE: SWING VOTE, the movie---summed up: America is filled with drunk men and drug addicted women who cannot possibly raise their kids (thereby only our brilliant teachers can) and it’s the American people’s fault that our country is messed up, and they should apologize to their wonderful public servants (all politicians) who really don’t have enough time in the White House to do anything worthwhile,(thereby longer terms needed) and by the way...every single vote counts.

That’s the movie, and the message s---cked. Kevin Costner should go on tour with Willie Nelson and spend the rest of his days saving his rich friend’s farms.

And lastly…what did I learn on Monday?

People still write “nasty” stuff in the stalls at the drive-in on bathroom walls…the popcorn is awful, going to the concession stand makes you feel like you might walk out with maggots…

But watching kids swing in the twilight on the playground, and hearing them laugh, knowing that little girls can run around in slippers and pajamas without being afraid of child molesters, looking up at the stars, on a summer night, and hearing a real train blow it’s whistle so loud in the distance with such power…and that you can STILL get thrilled by that sound….and that it makes you feel so amazingly alive the Harry Potter train on the screen becomes insignificant in the grand scheme of life …

What did I learn? That I'm still alive...and that's always worth noting.
