The Wit and Wisdom of Wednesday

 "There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are."  W. Somerset Maugham

In an online story today about Texas Rep. Chip Roy, Politico posted this incredible condemnation of Roy, who is considering a run for Liz Cheney's leadership post.  "Still, should he throw his hat into the ring, Roy — a trouble-making and Constitution-obsessed former federal prosecutor — could prove to be an appealing alternative." Only a liberal would think that "Constitution obsessed" is a bad thing. Apparently, no one at Politico has read more than the First Amendment.

Biden said that the recent jobs report showed that there are eight million fewer jobs in this economy than last year. Why doesn't the Secret Service just drive Dementia Joe down a few streets in D.C and point out the "Help Wanted" signs?

Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer is claiming that the shortage of labor is a result of  Trump's reducing the number of immigrants allowed into the country. No mention from Chuck of the billions of dollars that the government is paying people not to work.

Demand is what drives up prices. Are people leaving New York for states in the South? Forget the Census numbers that show the New York population declining, I have real evidence. Trying to make this point the other day in an e-mail exchange with friends, I did a little research. To move from Yanceyville, NC to Albany, NY is a distance of 756 miles. U-Haul charges $426 to rent a 10 foot box truck for that move. That's a pretty good price as they charge $1 a mile plus a daily charge for local rentals of that vehicle. But if you are fleeing New York and going to Yanceyville, U-Haul charges $1506 for the same truck. In another year with Cuomo at the helm in New York, U-Haul will probably have to pay people to drive that truck to New York. If you are looking for entertainment, check rental rates for leaving California and moving to Texas. 

The government has announced that a large offshore wind turbine farm will be built 12 miles off the Massachusetts coast near Martha's Vineyard. Wait until the masses of dead seagulls start washing up on the beaches at Martha's Vineyard. In this year's big winter storm , there were problems with the wind turbines in Texas. Do they think the coast of Massachusetts is a more hospitable location in the winter? Or do they not use electricity in Boston in the winter?

I am waiting for Biden to bring back the "Cash for Clunkers" program that the Obama/Biden team started  so that I can haul off a couple of old cars and pick up some real cash. 

Let's give solar panels and other "green energy" sources  a fair test. Let's see how many people will buy them without the federal subsidies and tax breaks. Call me when one sells under those conditions.
