Grains of sand – Obama’s budgets and wet dreams
April 20, 2009
Nopherhole decided to count the grains of sand represented by Obama’s budgets. Just trying to imagine how big the budget numbers really are.
Choosing an arbitrary $5 trillion dollars in Obama’s first budget and growing it for twenty years [a Democrat wet dream], the total spent is approximated $229 trillion dollars.
How many grains of sand is 229 trillion? According to Wiki, sand ranges up to 2mm, or approximately 3.5 million grains of sand per cubic feet.
Nopherhole lives a couple miles from the Kaw or Kansas River. To a depth of one foot and a wetted width of approximately 100 feet, the entire length of the Kansas River’s top layer of sand would be gone under Obama’s budget. The 21st longest river in the United States could be dredged and still fall short of the desired 229 trillion grains.
Disclaimer – during floods, the Kansas River grows to miles wide.
Nopherhole believes that Kansas River sand is coarser than beach sand. In fact is it excellent construction sand being consider “sharp.” Think of sharp as the opposite of marbles or BB’s [do kids know what BB’s are?]
Consider the beaches in Florida then. The Atlantic side, nopherhole believes, has sand coarser than the white confectioners sand of the gulf. Use the same type of estimate about rivers – that the difference usually between high tide and low tide makes the beach 100 feet wider or narrower – Florida has 1100 miles of beach. To get to Obama’s wet dream of grains of sand would take more than 11% of Florida’s beaches.

Chicago in running for Olympics in 2016 – Selection Committee members’ home countries threatened with General Motors shutdown of plants
March 30, 2009
The following could be true:
Decision makers in the Olympic Games selection committee were threatened with losing jobs associated with General Motors if games are not held in Chicago according to a former neighborhood coordinator. Obama’s firing of GM’s CEO Wagoner is seen as a power move by the Administration to control all aspects of life on Earth.
Chicago’s infamous politics has also been heard from. The Daley political machine used part of $1 billion of Chicago federal stimulus funds to pave streets around potential Chicago Olympic site in time for Olympic selection committee final visit on April 2, 2009.
From March 30, 2009 WBBM web site – “IOC site selection personnel will arrive in Chicago Thursday for a week-long stay. The IOC will choose the 2016 host city in October.”
According to Forbes.com in a March 25, 2009 article, Chicago has more potential hurdles or “potential minefields to traverse” than other cities in running including Madrid, Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro. Also, within the past four weeks, two little discussed kerfuffles have reared their heads.
One, the allocation of revenues from the games are the subject of intense negotiations with the International Olympic Committee, and;
Two, the sudden replacement of the United States Olympic Committee chair[?] with inexperienced Stephanie Streeter[sp]. The suddenness and the $500k salary have upset many of the 1500 delegates meeting in Denver this week. See her curriculum vitae here. Streeter’s former company has ties worldwide. Since leaving, her company has been acquired by RR Donnelley who has seen its stock drop from the $30 range to about $5 in the past year.
The host country is allowed to designate a local sport to be included in the games. The choice is between “popping a cap” and bowling. The Forbes article mentions the popularity of Obama as a factor.
I know not the author, though he does make good points.
Nopherhole.com beats Rush Limbaugh Conclusion – 3/27/09
March 27, 2009
Quote from Rush Limbaugh March 27 show summary – “We don’t have any checks and balances on Obama’s budget, not in the Senate, House or media. The Chinese Communists are our only hope. The question is, will the ChiComs pick up the tab for all the trillions we’re spending but don’t have?” -Rush Limbaugh
From BHOIAAH [nopherhole.com] on March 5, 2009 ridiculed on Ann Coulter’s blog by the clueless, nopherhole stated –
Democrat Central Committee to take over US Administration Functions – Executive order signed by President Obama today
The following are absurdity as truth bullet points. Try to keep up. I don’t have Anne’s graciously provided footnotes.
March 4, 2009 17:48 – In an unprecedented move, President Barack Hussein Obama transferred Administration extra-governmental controls to Democrat Central Committee. In a Presidential Order signed today by Obama, who still remains popular with voters, viewed transfer as “helpful.”
– Have you heard of a “How a bill becomes law?” When did giving DC the franchise enter the constitution? If any law passes Congress by the skin of the teeth with a DC vote, it should be vetoed if BHO is to uphold the Constitution as he was sworn to do.
– Democratic Central Committee is tongue in cheek reference to the Soviet Central Committee – There is no Democrat Central Committee
– I leave the reporting of BHO’s removal, changes, etc. to the press. A single individual could not list them all here.
– The main point is that implementation of BHO “agenda”, so far it consists of 1.Change, hinges on “…well, … we don’t like Limbaugh” according to James Carville
“Too long has the drawn out legislative process, and issuance of rubber stamps to Congress and Senate and other new extra-constitutional bodies delayed the success of governmental programs,” Obama stated in a hastily called news conference timed to miss the early evening news. “Removal of Republicans party was a mere formality with mandate achieved in November 2008 election.” – absurdity with truth
– No Republicans are needed to pass any bills in Congress. I leave to the reader the ability to distinguish RINO’s. And in the last ten years, virtually all Republicans have given up on any Conservative ideas.
– Rubber stamps refer to stimulus package being signed into law without even looking at a copy of it.
Since the election, every Democrat program may be implemented without review by the legislative branch. The constitutional versus administrative checks and balances have been removed.
– Follows bullet point from above. Without legislative review, no ability to enable checks and balances exists. True?
Obama stressed, “Following the planned death of Supreme Court member Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the new Democrat Central Committee will expand the Judicial function to be subject to added administrative review.”
– When Ginsburg dies, the Obama war room has already war gamed how best to “play” the outcome. This is hardcore politics – the kind the normal citizens used to call “the guys in the cigar smoked filled back room.” Political motivation rather than adherence to the Constitution is a guarantee driven home by Obama – just wait – the replacement nominees will be the worst political hacks ever suggested.
– The theme for this piece is the consolidation of power in a Messianic [sp] figure. This is fascism. The judicial branch subject to politics rather than law is the substance of the point. – absurdity with truth, the next supreme court picks will be Democrat shills
Implementing change has been very popular and successful under the new regime. The recognized “Fourth Estate” has made rejoinders to become part of the Committee. CNN Anchor Donna Hernees stated, “the slowness of Faxing has severely limited the transfer of news directly from the administration to media resource.”
– The press’ argument for implementing everything Obama proposes is that he is popular. It’s a specious argument, but it used EVERY DAMN DAY. The same words come out of every drive by media. This is not possible without unnatural speech confluence – in other words – a central source dictates the day’s news word by word.
– absurdity as truth – The Fourth Estate is a shill for the Democrat Party
The president has name a information technology czar to allow direct administration to vocal chord, AVC, news transfer. CBS and ABC are using beta version of the software now. It is rumored that the gold version is already implemented at CNN.
– See above – but a better faster way has been implemented. It is called email – it gets the reporter “right in the head” for writing the day’s news.
– The IT Czar is an actual position. Was there a telegraph czar? A telephone czar? Why is there any political connection between the administration and how information technology should proceed at a near-Cabinet level?

Size of Government – Take every dollar from the Billionaires
March 12, 2009
Quote from Forbes list of the World’s richest. “The net worth of the world’s billionaires fell from $4.4 trillion to $2.4 trillion, while the number of billionaires was down to 793 from 1,125.”
Nopherhole lost money at about the same ratio, but the math intrigues nopherhole.
If the US government took all the money, not the income, but the lifetime wealth, it would last through the budget month of January.

Democrat Central Committee to take over US Administration Functions – Executive order signed by President Obama today
March 12, 2009
A copy of nopherhole illustrating absurdity by being absurd post to Anne Coulter’s chat. Difficult to use the blog software to indicate what came first and what was added later to clarify to those who needed it, how there was a grain of truth in the absurdities listed. Think of this as an amateur attempt to do what Anne or Rush do professionally. As Rush says, “Do not try this at home.”

permalink from Politico.com – This is their story, I am only referring to it to demonstrate how reality is often stranger than fiction.
Federal agents this morning are searching the Judiciary Square office of Washington, D.C.’s Chief Technology Officer.
The search is part of “an ongoing investigation,” said a spokeswoman for the FBI’s D.C. Field Office, Lindsay Gotwin, said. She declined to comment further.
Quote provided by Politico.com
Vivek Kundra, was appointed last week Chief Information Officer by the Obama administration. His last day at the city government office was February 4, a spokeswoman for D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Leslie Kershaw, said.
“We know the FBI is over there but that’s all we know,” said a staffer in the D.C. CTO’s office, Mario Field, who was working from a separate location. Another source familiar with the raid said the FBI had sent all staffers other than senior executives home for the day.
Nopherhole joked about this new position in the Obama Administration last week on Ann Coulter’s Blog and was shot down by other commenters. After all, what intrigue could there be concerning this new position? Nopherhole’s comments were a farce, but backed up by real comments and stories of the last few days.
[By the way, my absurdity was that the federal Information Officer would develop software to bypass the daily fax that dictated the day’s news, and go directly to the brains of the media through some technology. Some media, in my absurdity, were in the beta version, while rumor had it that CNN was running on the gold version. Gold, as nerds know, means the final frozen version of software that is going to be burnt to disc.]

Ben Franklin is credited with this phrase, but nopherhole thinks this meaning goes back further. Read the fictional accounts of the times when the Cathedrals were built. A penny was a day’s wages. Therfore, the wisdom is more steeped in meaning than that for which it is given.
Thanks Ben.
Also, comparing the accomplishments of a lifetime of Franklin, Darwin, Lincoln, Washington, Adams et al and nopherhole is in a serious inferiority complex.

Meat and potatoes – Time for a Depression diet
March 5, 2009
Nopherhole is not a Vegan. I like to kill plants to eat them as much as the next blogger.
But is it a lifestyle choice to be forced by your finances to eat meat only once a week? When a hunting and fishing license may help feed the family?
“Victory Garden” has morphed in this generation from a planter to a New Age, “dope smoking, plastic banana, good time rock and roller FM type” tv viewer.
A real Victory Garden helps feed people when times are tough. Do you like Okra and Turnips? This time the white people will suffer, not the “typical” minorities and women.
Typical refers here to the old joke headline, “World Ends Tomorrow, Women and Minorities Hit Worst.”
Bush’s garden on old K32 better plant fence row to fence row this spring.
