July 9, 2007:

Isolationist:

According to my son, we have a severe problem in the Great Lakes. He claims that Lake Huron is dying. Why? Because a new microscopic invader is destroying the bottom of the food chain. These tiny shrimp-like creatures came in through the St. Lawrence Seaway in the ballast water of foreign ships. This is very similar to the Zebra Mussel invasion that has done considerable damage in the Great Lakes. His solution is to close the St. Lawrence Seaway, before we have a complete breakdown of the Great Lakes ecosystem.

I never dreamed I would have an isolationist in my own family. I thought isolationism ended around WWI when we noticed that we couldn’t be isolated from the world. Steamships made that impossible and air travel makes it even less possible. We live in a world economy and a world ecosystem. We tried to isolate the Dutch Elm beetle and we tried to isolate the Emerald Ash Borer. We failed in both case. AIDS ought to show us something. Isolation does not work. We are going to have to find real solutions to these problems through science, not through politics.

As soon as we get a sane president, perhaps we can put our scientists to work solving these problems. Every problem of this sort can also be seen as an opportunity. The question to ask is not, how can we keep these things out? They are here and more will come. The proper question is how can we deal with this? Another question should be, are these things of any value? Wetbacks are obviously valuable. That’s why they are here, but what about the animal invaders? For example, is there a commercial use for Zebra Mussels? Can we use them in making cement? I don’t know, but we ought to ask the questions.

One Flew Over:

Jack Nicholson stared in the movie, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” We find it was filmed at a real nut farm in Salem Oregon. It is Oregon State Hospital. We have learned, from the media, that it was even more evil than the movie indicated. They have, in their basement, shelves full of the cremated remains of poor souls who died there. No one knows if they were really mentally unbalance or simply feeble minded. These people died, who knows why, and were cremated and put in cans to be stored on shelves. There are other old mental institutions, in other states, that have a similar situation. We are led to believe that stuff no longer happens and they are trying to find who these remains belong to. Maybe so, but if I get dangerous, I would rather Mrs. Gaffer have me shot than turn me over to those people. A quick death is much preferable to being emotionally tortured to death.

Unsolicited Mail:

Since the spam invasion of our lives, we don’t get as much unsolicited regular mail as we used to. We still get too much though. There is a use for some of that trash. I regularly use the backs of the envelopes to make to-do lists before I throw them away unopened. Another thing is some of them make good scratch paper. The fools who send them out only print one side. The other side can be used to scratch out ideas and solutions before we commit them to good paper. Now that I’m relearning math, that is very handy.

Scooter:

What a dumb name. So what, the mad king did not pardon him, he mitigated his situation. He does not have to stay in prison as you or I would. He is on probation. Except for the fine, that’s like no punishment at all. I’m sure some right thinking republican suck-up will manage to pay that for him. It’s like doing a favor for the VP. George said he though the punishment was excessive. Huh? I thought it was mild. I’m sure George will pardon Libby just before he leaves office. All I can hope is no Bush ever occupies the oval office again.

Doctors:

I cannot imagine a doctor who wants to commit mass murder. Yet, we are told all of these terrorist suspects in Britain are doctors or part of the medical establishment. Insanity beyond insanity! I would put these guys in the urine pit and leave them there until they died. I described this pit once before, but here it is again. It’s a punishment for truly incorrigible people. It’s just a deep round pit with smooth walls, which cannot be climbed. It has a cover with urination holes where passersby can relieve themselves whenever they have a need. Of course, the whole thing would be enclosed, for the privacy of he users, like any pubic facility.

Are there no sane Muslims at all? Where are they?

GM:

They have stooped to a new low on band bonding. They are using a movie aimed at children to brand bond grade school infants to their products. This is worse that what the beer companies do. It’s even younger kids being victimized. We have a malignancy, which permeates our culture. It is an obscene tumor called Madison Avenue and GM is exploiting it.

Lieberman:

What has happened to this guy? He used to be a Dumbocrat. I always though of him as kind of liberal. After all, he ran for VP as a Dumbocrat. Then he became an independent. Now he is one of the last people who are supporting the failed Bush policies in Iraq. He says the surge is working. If he means it is getting more of our kids killed, he is right. I don’t call that working. I call it crazy. Maybe that’s what’s wrong with Lieberman. He must be nuts.

These fools keep saying a pull out would destabilize the Middle East. They must be loony and blind. When has the Middle East ever been stable? Not in my lifetime! I don’t think it has ever been stable and it never will be stable so long as Muslim madmen rule the area. If we want stability in that area we are going to need a much larger military than we now have. The only way to make it stable is to remove the madmen from power and replace them with military governors. Then the sane people in that area, if there are any, may have a chance to help their countries evolve into viable democracies. That would take a long time, not years, but decades. It is longer than the American people have patience for.

Muslims:

A Muslim spokesman for those people in Great Britain said they totally condemn violence. I say bull. If they totally condemned violence the would do something about it. Those terrorist murderers are part of the Muslim ghetto community. If these upright citizens condemn that, why don’t they turn them in to the authorities? Perhaps it is because they are afraid of the terrorists and would rather have them kill us than them.
