Weekly Notes:

August 13, 2007:

We:

You can get married. You can take the vows and get a piece of paper that says you are married. But, until you begin to say We instead of I in your babbling and mean We, you are not married.

Political Solutions:

This insane administration and its apologists keep babbling and babbling about some kind of political solution in Iraq. I do not believe in political solutions at all. If WWII taught us anything it should be that you cannot negotiate a deal you cannot enforce. You cannot negotiate with or between crazy people. I believe in scientific solutions and if necessary military solutions. In the case of Iraq, our best solution now is to get out. The local lunatics will resolve their differences one way or another. A strong man unlike Maliki will come to power and we will only have one maniac to deal with. As it is now, we cannot sort them out. We could not tell a bad Iraqi from a good Iraqi, even if there was such a thing as a good Iraqi.

The most important thing for us right now is to build up a large, powerful, well-equipped army. That would cause more civilized behavior in the world than any amount of babbling we could do. The British know that. It is the reason they remained a force in the world for 1000 years. We have never learned that. Every tine we have faced an emergency we had to build an army virtually from scratch. Every time we had an army, we let it dibble away after the crisis had passed. When we cannot even field a tiny army of a quarter of a million troops, with out straining the system, we are too weak by a factor of ten.

Up in Arms:

The do-gooders are up in arms about the government passing a law that allows the feds to listen in on phone calls. That’s silly. Why get angry about a law that allows the fascists to do what they are already dong anyway? If you use your head, it is not necessary to make a fuss. I have always assumed that my phone conversations were not private any more than my email is. When you broadcast information, anyone who wants to listen can do so. It is not just the government, by the way. Any other crook can do the same thing. The thing to do is to not give them the information they are looking for. Don’t say on the phone or in an email anything you do not want everyone in the world to know.

Breast Feeding:

The city of New York has a new kind of stupidity. This is dumb, even for government. They are going to force poor women to breast feed, by sending them home from the hospital without any formula. I guess they are just to stupid to know that it takes some women as much as a month to begin producing enough milk to feed a hungry baby. In the meantime, I suppose they can let the kid eat cake.

China:

Our government says they cannot control the Chinese imports to stop them from shipping poison products into America. I say bull! All they have to do is put a total boycott on Chinese products. If they do that, you will be surprised at how quickly the Chinese will start to police themselves. We are their biggest source of revenue. They would be in deep kaka without us. We don’t need them. They do need us.

Ten Billion:

That is the monthly cost of the war in Iraq according to one of the many blowhards in the Republicrumb debate. Compare that to the 1.6 trillion we need to fix America’s infrastructure. If we had not gone into that hellhole, we could have made a big down payment on that unimportant stuff. Hey, so what if our infrastructure disintegrates? Who cares if the power grid stops working? Who will worry if we cannot transport products because the bridges have all fallen down? What’s the big deal if we don’t have sewers that work of a supply of potable water? Duh!

Debate:

Stephanopoulos hosted the first Republicrumb debated on a special segment of This Week. Mrs. Gaffer taped it and I watched as much as I could stand, about ten minutes. When I felt like I was certainly going to puke, I switched it off. These fools don’t seem to realize that they are pitching the same old party line that died with Dewey. There was nothing new or creative at all except for one guy who clearly knew he had no chance to win. That was Ron Paul. He was truthful. The rest are the same pathological liars they have always been. Where in heck are our leaders?

Only in Michigan:

The city of Burton, Michigan has a new way of causing incompetence. They are going to combine the police and fire departments of that city to save payroll dollars. It seems no one has explained to them that those are two completely different and mutually exclusive skill sets. What they will end up with is inept firemen and dangerous policemen.

Time Span:

Three years is about the maximum life for outfits like Organic Gardening, 60 minutes, cooking magazines, etcetera. The 60 minute staff is getting kind of old. They are probably tired. It is much easier to repeat a three-year-old show than it is to create a new one.

Diplomat:

In countries where oppressive systems are in control, it must seem really strange to the people that an ex-president of the US, instead of being in prison or dead, is going around the world acting as ambassador without portfolio.

Specialized knowledge:

Knowledge, such as technicians have, breeds a sort of arrogance toward the lay population wherein they confuse ignorance with stupidity. Truly knowledgeable people do not have this attitude. The technical people with a very limited amount of specialized knowledge have this emotional problem. The egos of these people are generally quite fragile and they must constantly reinforce themselves. They seek and find people who lack specific knowledge and make them out to be stupid.
