Nobody # 854

Nobody Asked Me But:

Happiness is a Valentine’s week eating my wife’s incredible mac and cheese and drinking a bottle of 1994 Duckhorn Cabernet.

THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS (Let’s start with budget cutting and move on from there)

The Republicans opted for agony

The President settled for pain

While Coulter, again, made a weirdo remark

That nobody else could explain

She said all the Dems are conspirators

And their plan is to ruin Uncle Sam

When it comes to reporting facts and the truth

This lady does not give a damn

But Obama defended his budget

We must rebuild to win the world’s praise

Polls said the people are with him

As long as somebody else pays

For Valentine’s Day, a kiss led the way

The debate was for film’s all-time best

It was easy for me, it’s “Eternity”

I’ll leave you to choose from the rest

Berlusconi faced still more sex charges,

He’s big on romance with a teen

Mark Sanchez sent him good wishes,

And said that all sex laws are mean

Ron Paul won the first CPAC polling

Obama beat Jeb Bush real big

Trump, while on Fox, threw his hat in the ring

Or was that just The Donald’s wig

Gaga arrived in a huge greenish egg

But lost her Gram to ’Cade Fire

Meanwhile the rest, put fashion to test

As they strutted in most strange attire

Haley Barbour confronted with KKK plates

He will not renounce, says report

These guys are all from my church down the street

And I really need their support

“Musial received Freedom Medal

The Prez honored Card’s Stan “the Man”

His whole life defined the word classy

Made everyone Stan “the Man’s” fan

Baseball filled most of the airways

Can spring really be far away?

While it looks rocky now for the Dodgers

Hope will rule hearts play ball day

McCourt told the fans not to worry

This season the team will go deep

“As you know, I am all about winning

As long as we win on the cheap”

Boehner gave praise to Barack

On Egypt the Prez did quite well

That’s different from what his party’s right said

As they wished him a quick trip to hell

There’s a new book just out about Bogie

Tough with no gun was his rep

He proved it by being most willing

To live his full life out of step

A tide of revolt swept the Mideast

Egypt’s reforms stirred demands

From Iran to Bahrain to Yemen

More freedom for Islamic lands

Meanwhile the leaders in Iran

Said they loved what occurred ’long the Nile

As they warned the Tehran protesters

Beware, ’cause your name’s in our file

It was machine vs. man on Jeopardy shows

Of dollars, machine won the most

But Watson won more, got its foot in the door

To replace Alex Trebek as host

The liberals are quite down on Barack

Said his cuts are selling them out

Shouldn’t someone remind all the lefties

It’s not very classy to pout

A Dick Armey FreedomWorks memo

All public health options attacks

Said the rich can afford a good doctor

While the poor can always seek quacks

The Lakers embarrassed by Cleveland

Said we just did not show up to play

We were tired and bored, right out of our gourd

But yes, we will still take our pay

Blast From The Past (LA Daily News) - April 26, 1945 Due to a farm worker shortage caused by a federal limitation on use of Mexican workers, SF valley farm owners may have to use German prisoners of war.<<<

NY Times report – This winter’s bad weather slows job growth.

Republican reaction – “We told you that Obamacare would have a disastrous effect on this great nation’s weather.<<<

The best movie review line of the week was from NPR: The movie, “I am Number Four” – the review line, “Can we demand a recount?”<<<

This week’s brain drain – Try to make sense out of this interview with Texas governor Rick Perry:

Reporter Evan Smith of the Texas Tribune – “Any comments on the new abstinence program, Governor?”

Perry – “Abstinence works.”

Smith – “But we have the third highest pregnancy rate among all the states.”

Perry – “It works.”

Smith – “Can you give me a statistic suggesting it works?”

Perry – “I’m just going to tell you from my own personal life. Abstinence works.”<<<

And finally, here is Dominic Sandbrook’s great dedication to his wife of his new book, Mad As Hell:

“With the self-control of Pat Nixon, the guts of Betty Ford, the drive of Rosalynn Carter and the glamour of Nancy Reagan, she deserves a lot better than to be married to a man with the memory of Ronald Reagan, the humility of Jimmy Carter, the wit of Gerald Ford and the charm of Richard Nixon. It is my good fortune, however, that fate has dealt her such a poor hand.”
