Liberals must really be stupid after all

Does Elizabeth Warren think you can negotiate with ISIS?

“But like the president I believe that any solution in Iraq is going to be a negotiated solution, not a military solution. We do not want to be pulled into another war in Iraq.”--- Boston Herald

Does it really matter what we want?  Did we want the September 11th attacks?  Did we want Pearl Harbor?  Sometimes you don't have a choice when the other guy attacks.

You had a won war in Iraq and you threw it away.  Now that is really stupid.  Now you claim you can stay out of this war which by your negligence you have made all but inevitable.  When I mention "you", I mean everybody who voted these bozos into office.

Their next excuse is that Iraq really wasn't won and it was all Bush's fault anyway.  Nothing is ever their fault, of course.

Wonder washer

Interesting little gizmo.  It uses less water than even hand washing, it claims.  A gander at the reviews reveals that it does have its drawbacks.

Uh, another alternative to handling waste

Yep, this one goes into the series.  What series?  THE series.  What's that?  If you have to ask...

I'm sure you guys just love this kind of thing.




Update:

Sometimes I have links on my favorites that don't make it into a post on this blog.  Here's a link to a toilet system that is "landfill approved".  It also comes with a tent that can serve as an outside shower.

Update ( over a month later ):

Here's a book that goes into the issue of blackwater quite extensively.

Update ( September 20, 2014):

The ideas keep coming.  Here's a link to a Walmart page that has a bunch of relevant items on this subject.

Buy a Home Kit and Build Your Own House

Mother Earth News

Many kit homes can actually be built by the homeowner, or at least with substantial homeowner participation, resulting in significant cost savings. The extent of that participation depends on a wide range of variables, including the time and energy the homeowner may have available, knowledge of the various skills and materials required, and willingness and ability to learn.

I think Worf was talking about this when I visited him last month.  Or something like this.  The price page gives the basic costs of the proposition.

 It's tempting at this point to start thinking about construction, but that's a ways off yet.

Does it really pay to watch lefty sites?

Well, you should for intelligence purposes.  You should know what the enemy is up to.  Besides, is the left really an enemy?  No, I haven't gone softy.  The "left" really is an enemy, but they manage to suck a lot of otherwise good folks in, so we end up with everybody fighting each other, which only works out to the benefit of the few.  The otherwise good folks are the ones who haven't caught on yet, but could catch on someday.  Or, we should hope so.

So, here's my proxy for the left, as she plays the part so very well, the Mahablog.  She has something up called "Why Nothing Will Change", as she puts forward the usual lefty solutions for problems that don't exist, and their solutions won't work anyway even if there was a problem.  Why?  The "solutions" somehow always redound to the benefit of liberals, not for anybody else.

In the case of income distribution, it's typical lefty wisdom for the Maha, as she points out the obvious that we've been stuck in a rut since the seventies.  But for the lefty types like Maha, it's always the symptoms, not the disease.  Income inequality as such, is probably more of a reflection of non-growth than it is a thing in itself.  The thing in itself is the symptom, not the disease.  The disease is a Limits to Growth ethos that the left loves so much.  Of course, the disease can't be anything that they favor, it has to be shifted someplace else.  Or else somebody might catch on, and that wouldn't be good for them.

I'm guessing that the libs are worried that they haven't been able to produce any prosperity, so it's time for some good 'ol class warfare.  The plain and ugly truth, if it matters anymore, is that class warfare requires a static and listless economy.  A growing economy is bad for liberalism.  There's no way to agitate the "masses" so that they can be manipulated into doing some pretty dumb stuff, like listening to liberals in the first place.  So, I think the argument can be made that the left really doesn't mind the weak economy.  It creates a crisis, and they are sure to take advantage of it.  After all, wasn't it one of the administration types that said never let a crisis go to waste?  Especially the one that you made yourself.

Nirvana--Come as you are

Once upon a time, a water pipe broke in my apartment, which flooded me out.  After a lot of effort, I managed to get in touch with the manager.  It was after hours and there's wasn't the usual crew around.  As I was flooded out, I needed someplace to be for awhile so that arrangements could be made.  Like getting another apartment while this one was being fixed and aired out and dried up.  Anyway, I was in the breakroom and this song was on the music video.  It kinda stuck in my mind.  Not everyday do you get flooded out of house and home.

Can't say that I ever knew what the song was about.  Even after getting the lyrics here, I still don't know what it's about.

"Come as a friend or as an enemy?" " No, I don't have a gun? "  Is it an invitation that could go anywhere, is that the point?  I guess it is because it doesn't make sense otherwise.

Recap of last weeks posts 8/3 to 8/9/14

I may take a new twist to this.  Instead of including a best of recap, I'll just list the highlights for the week in terms of posts.  This makes it a bit easier as I only have to look at the posts that got the most hits.  If any make the "best of " list, that can be mentioned too.  None did this week.  There are only two that made any kind of run for the money for the best of category and those were:

1. Market rally in lockstep with Fed balance sheet
2. A New Party ( repost from a year ago )
