Joe Biden : Only Smarter Than George W Bush

Vice President Joe Biden was on NBC's "Meet The Press" today. It's astouding this guy is VP. He more resembles in thought and demaenor an average half- loaded bartender. I must not digress. Concerning the Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng, he said " I think his future is in America. He has an oppotunity to go to NYU and we're are prepared to give him a visa right away. He's going to be able to take his family."

Gee. Chen is one out of 1.25 billion. Obviously no one will miss him in China, but why does Joe think him valuable? Chen is blind, an aspiring attorney, pro life and has a sore foot. What will the U.S. get for it's hospitality? It has to educate him first. No. First  it has to tend to his sore foot. That will require an interpreter. That's another expense. When he goes to NYU he will need an interpreter and help with the stairs. He and his family will need full monetary and social support just to get around. And if he passes his courses at NYU America will get another lawyer. That's a bad deal. Joe could be the dumbest politicain ever to rise to the executive branch of government, but that position is firmly held at this time by George W Bush and his "preemptive war" doctrine and other , many mistakes and ommissions.

There was a song in the 1960's that keeps running through my head as somehow relevant to both Joe and George. It was " Shotgun" by Junior Walker and the Allstars. There's a line that sounds appropiate, it goes "..shoot 'em 'fore they run now".

What's That Smell? It's the Chinese Middle Class

With all due respect to domesticated Chinese-Americans, it's alarming that their mainland home China now is producing middle class by the pallet full. Just yesterday China anounced a trade DEFICIT with its trading partners in the amount of $7 billion. Also China recently anounced that their domestic car sales are up 63% over last year. That puts them on track to consume over 13 million cars this year. That's 25% larger than Americas projected total. While there will be more Chinese killed in the crosswalks in Bejing by the visually, peripherally impaired , it will not be nearly enough to curb this unfolding environmental peril.

China has app. 1.25 billion munching, belching and defecating organisms. Imagine how many great swaths of forest will disappear worldwide overnight when all those types get credit cards. How many species will go extinct?How much fresh air will be polluted with rancid cooking greases and coal-fired plants? Buy American folks and starve the pests out.

Blue fin tuna wont have a chance. Eighty percent of their numbers have disappeared and ended up in Japanese bellies who consume 80% of the yearly catch. And now the Chinese are weighing in. Well if a war breaks ot between the Japanese and Chinese over the last sushi then the Blue fin will have a chance.

War these days between environmental terrorists has its definite upside.

Blue Fin Tuna In Peril

Blue Fin Tuna stock has collapsed. Eighty percent of the "tiger of the sea" have been slaughtered and ended up mostly in some Japanese stomach. What a way to go. Its fate is largely representative of fish and mammals that humans eat. Efforts to cut back on the killings have largely come to nothing. The most recent example was yesterday when a proposal to limit fishing of the Tuna was voted down by concerned countries. What will happen if the fish go extinct which some are predicting could happen in app. 10-20 years? To quote Scarlett O'Hara, "Tommorrow is another day." So in the mean time its a race to take the Blue Fin to the brink while making the most per ounce while the countdown to extinction goes on.

Also China is licking its collective, smelly chops for more Shark Fin soup and the devestation that brings to shark stocks. Estimates range up to 70 million sharks a year are killed to feed the Asian appetites. All those newly minted middle class Chinaman are bewildering.

I'm struck by the possible postive side effects of a massive human flu and epidemic.

OZZFEST: Let Them Kill Themselves

The annual Ozzfest Concert was held in Holmdel, N.J. this past week. Over 13,000 attended. Two men died of overdoses of cocaine, mrtijuana and alcohol on Thursday. There were 229 arrests. Most of the arrests were for underage drinking and disorderly conduct.

After perusing the reviews of the "bands" in the NYT, I have a suggestion. Leave the attendees alone. Let them kill themselves on overdoses. Why? Anyone that wants to hear " death metal" fused with " black metal" isn't worth feeding . Also the pictures of the band members show them to have less symmetry in their visage than refuse from a cat litter box.

Personally I would chip in for mainland- China food and beverage to be served and free lead-laced tatoos. It's a cinch no al-Qaeda suicide bomber would ever step foot into an already dead zone.
