Hobgoblins

Seems like there is this quote out there that says something to the effect that a "foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds." That correlates into the latest blurb I've seen on the web about the big miss on the employment report. The blurb said that the White House thinks that this is evidence of not enough spending.

That is enough to gobsmack Godzilla. Not enough spending?! Yeah, it qualifies as a real live hobgoblin. If these small minded people think that there's not enough spending, then who or what can say otherwise?

Fact, evidence, reason are all going out the window. Full blown insanity has taken over. The big question is this: how long are they going to be allowed to do this before somebody puts their foot down?

If the Liz Cheney types want to let go on this way, there may not be anything left before the sanity resumes.

Message to liberals: If you thought that a million jobs were going to be created in April, but it was only one quarter that, it may be time to rethink your plans. You'd think. Time to shake free of the Hobgoblins.

April No-jobs report

Paul Krugman claimed that this jobs report would remind us all of the "morning in America". Yeah, a morning with a big, big hangover!

"Economists" like Krugman were predicting a million new jobs in April, but only 266,000 were created. The biggest miss in decades!

They're "spinning like tops" over there in Donkeyville. Bwah, hah, hah!

Ranchero Update

Hey, I didn't forget about this... Here's another update on the Ranchero.

SN-15 could be "go" for launch

As of this writing, it appears that Spacex's Starship prototype may attempt a launch very soon now. It appears to be fueling up.

So we have news other than the political scene. If it is a good mission, we may even have some good news to report. Yippey-ti-yo-tay-yay!

Ride 'em cowboy!

Update on SN-15 launch

It launched well, but disappeared quickly into the clouds. The pictures also went out, so there was very little to see. Finally, a video feed returned while it suddenly appeared and began descending towards the ground. It seemed to touch down okay, but a fire appeared shortly after landing.

As of this writing, at 5:45 pm, close to 20 minutes after launch, the fire seemed to be out. Unless something happens, like one time before, the starship may have survived this flight.

At the moment, it looks "aok".

USB stick fail

It looks like a good install on the stick, but it won't work. Also, the system says that a USB boot is not available on this system.

Shucks. It would seem that this isn't cricket. If any machine is truly an IBM-PC type clone, then they should all be able to do this. Changing that violates the law, I would think. But what do I know? I'm just one of the peons.

It seems that I have to look for another option.

The day so far 5-3-21

You know this resistance thing that I've been doing is ongoing. It moves kinda slow, like I do these days.

It took me awhile to do it, but I finally got around to removing one of my Amazon reviews. It was a defense of George W. Bush.

Bush has been saying things lately that have gone against the prevailing sentiments of a lot of people who voted for him twice. One of those people was yours truly. I defended Bush against what seemed like a howling mob who wanted his scalp. Now this guy is trying to crap all over people like me who helped him in the past.

Thanks a lot, Dubya!

The problem with these kind of people is that they try to please everybody and end up pleasing nobody. The Bushes have a talent for that. Like I said, guys like Bush can screw up a wet dream.

They are aligning with people who they should oppose. If they can remember what side they say that they are on, they might keep their friends and allies on board. But nope! They gotta crap all over the people who once supported them.

It looks like it is happening to these types all over the place. Romney caught a little hell in Utah. I wish it could have been a lot more forceful. They need to be chastened. They need it badly. We need to see a lot more of this kind of thing. Blind loyalty is not necessarily a good thing.

The Bushes want loyalty. They should be prepared to give a little of it themselves.
