Beau Says Hey

Beau Of The Fifth Column - Justin King.

Let us lift a glass to the future of one continuous war.

We're not done with war. We're never done with it. Once we moved to an all-volunteer force, and let it get established, we slid right down the slippery slope - almost exactly the way the Hippies On The Left, and the Fuddy-Duddies On The Right warned us about.

Beating Us At Our Own Game

Adapt. Improvise. Overcome.

The Guardian:

Mexicans are building fences, and America has already paid for them.

In recent months, US authorities have unrolled miles of razor wire along the border with Mexico as part of efforts to “harden” the frontier and deter migrants from entering America illegally.

But thieves in the city of Tijuana have made a mockery of Donald Trump’s attempts at beefing up border security by stealing the razor wire and reselling it to local residents in Mexico.

Residents of barrios abutting the border told XETW 12 television in Tijuana that entrepreneurial individuals have offered to sell them the stolen concertina wire and install it for just 40 pesos per home – barely $2.

Hey, "conservatives" - remember all that noise you love to make about "stupid government"?

I guess the only thing stupider is a government run by your boy Trump.

And even stupider than that would be you still supporting that stupid guy stupidly running that stupid government.

I realize you're all just dumb as a bag of hammers, and intellectually, you're so slow you could lose ground to a dead snail, but ya gotta try just a bit harder. 

Please. Just try.

A Little Math - A Little Engineering

And away we go.

I promise not to bitch about my taxes if I can count on you to teach my kids how to do that kinda thing.

Tell It, Sam

Samantha Bee

I'm not going to pull any punches by calling you ignorant, because that word implies you exist in a state of certain innocence, where you simply don't know something. 

When you know there's good information, but you reject it in spite of everything every credible source tells you is the truth, then you're just being stoopid.

Cuz - you know - Mama always said stoopid is as stoopid does.

The Coming Age Of Payback

As we worry about the Rise Of The Machines and Climate Change and the currently occurring Extinction Event, let's not ignore the ability of Earth's Plant Life to engineer and facilitate our demise.

From BBC:

The more genes in your genome, the more highly evolved you are as a species.

We have a scorecard that shows humans lagging rather badly:

Homo Sapiens: 26,000 genes

Rice: 45,000 genes

A few things I really like thinking about because of this:

1. There are 650 species of carnivorous plants that we know of
2. A plant keeps its head below ground and displays its sexual organs to the outside world
3. If we associate intelligence with the ability to earn the right to survive, we may be in for some very rude surprises

And On We Go

Recently, the Parade of Stoopid got a new float.

• the noise of windmills doesn't give you cancer
• climate change is not a hoax
• the earth is not flat
• vaccinations don't cause autism
• Sandy Hook wasn't a false flag thing
• ...and neither was 9/11
• evolution isn't "just a theory"
• and on and on and on

I can't believe we have to talk about some of this shit.
