RNS Quote of the Day: 07/27/09

I’m a bit late with the login and bloggin’ today.

Tacos and Red Hook Sunrye on the tailgate at the drive-in theater with The Wife last night is my only excuse.

Hence…..

I love deadlines. I like the whoosing sound they make as they fly by.

Bumpersticker Logic

It is a faulty logic.

But if it is the logic the left insists using on the playing field, it is a logic we should learn to employ against them.

Here and here.

Two things needed

To pass this quiz:

1: You needed to be awake in your junior high and high school science classes

2: If you did fall asleep during class, you need to have rested your head on your text book so as to learn the material through osmosis.

When Ace said that even VP Joe Biden could pass this quiz, he was right. But he forgot to mention that the most unscientific asshole on the planet, AlGore, would probably even get ten out of twelve right.

More Interesting Times Ahead

Remember the Chinese curse? Well, in addition to our own impending mortgage Tsunami, there’s the China Bubble. Yes, the entire Chinese economy is a bubble. What, oh what, do you suppose will happen when it bursts?

I used to subscribe to Foreign Policy in college. It’s a sober and serious public-policy journal, not likely to print unfounded frothing-at-the-mouth speculation. So take heed, y’all!

RNS Quote of the Day 07/26/09

I like this plan (WWII version at right):

We dump a couple of billion dollars into our own firearms manufacturers (Colt/S&W/Ruger, Beretta USA, etc) and we have them mass produce the equivalent of a standard issue 9mm as well as a small concealed 9mm version. We then dump another billion or so in 9mm ammunition and spare clips. And here is the kicker, we stamp every single piece of hardware; Bullets, gun frames, barrels, clips: “MADE IN THE USA” and then proceed to smuggle/dump them into Iran. We start arming the Non-Persian Minorities and the more radical urbanites. We make them faster than they can confiscate them. We float Iran in a sea of 9mm small arms. … The result will be the breaking of the monopoly of force of the Thugocracy. Armed marchers are a lot harder to break up than non-armed. Within a year, 18 months tops, you would have an armed under 30 populace that would, quite simply, out gun the opposition by sheer weight of numbers and small arms.

Prophecy

The P/E ratio for the S&P 500 is an absurd 15.74 on forward earnings and the NASDAQ an even more absurd 19.22. Traditional recession level ratios are between 5 and 8 (Source WSJ, 7/21). Considering the  spin being put on earnings this week, the potential for a major corrective move to the downside is wide freaking open.

My submission:

President Obama just couldn’t stop laughing and demanding they restart the new arcade version of Submariner: Wolf Pack so that he could repeatedly sink the USS Economy.

Now you.
