Oh, I dunno. What if everyone wasn’t a FUCKING MORON?
Look, you idiots. Everything DOES run on gas, or some kind of fossil fuel, or some kind of nuclear fuel. End of question, period. Solar power is nuclear power, you morons, and wind power relies as much on the heat of the sun as anything. Do you think electricity is just made in those wall sockets? I’m amused that the gas engines are all dirty and leaking. God forbid we characterizer engines as being clean and efficient
UPDATE: Thanks to Ed Hering for reminding me a process he once explained to me, read about Abiogenic formation of fossil fuels. very interesting stuff there. Wonder why the greenies aren’t dumping millions into that like they’re doing wiht Gloebull Warmening? Oh, yeah, beause they can’t use Gold’s theories to make us all live in the fucking dark ages.
if you’re an old fart like me
The Post office prints Bill Mauldin stamps.
When I was a kid, I used to play with my uncles old army gear. He had uniforms and packs piled in boxes in his garage, and his kids and i would dress up and run around the yard yelling at the neighbors, who happened to be korean, but were Japanese looking enough for us, and always got to be the “Nips”
Evenings, though, we’d sit in the shed and paw through the copies of ‘Stars and Stripes” and read the cartoons, mostly. None of the rest of the shit meant anything to us. So by the time I was ten, I knew who Bill Mauldin was, and when he died in 03, a little bit of me died with him.
Now, philately gets me nowhere- but when I get a piece of mail that had a Bill Mauldin stamp on it, I had to see if they still did, and they do! So yes, you can bet your ass I’ll be buying some, and sending out mail with them.
This is the kind of shit that originally brought me to his blog, and keeps me coming back. When he hits it, he hits it hard.
I’m a little late to the party, but it seems that Ace of Spades has done the dance of equivocation about the Gunwalker thing. I have been uber swamped, both with work and with helping celebrate the Ogwifes most recent circuit around the sun so I have not been able to concentrate on the subject, but when Pascal calls someone a moron, watch the fuck out. Pascal- for those who don’t know him- is smarter than you are. I don’t care who you are or what you do, he’s smarter. he may not have the highest IQ, but he’s the very best I’ve ever met at using what he has to it’s best ability, and he’s only annoying as hell about half as often as I am.
