The World Sucks And I Can’t Poison Anything Today

Bleh, another rainy day. Two whole days of not-rain is about the most we seem to get lately. I had hoped to go on a bug killing rampage; I was going to do a Flower Power post about it as I’ve picked up two kinds of pyrethrins - insecticides based on chrysanthemum flowers - one a long term natural residual, the other a shorter term encapsulated synthetic with stronger knock down power. Not like we really have bugs here. But we do get crickets in the house (and the wrong kind IMO, not the friendly little black ones, but the hyperactive ugly variegated ones called camel crickets), there are spiders galore outside, and I had a tick drop on me from the bushes when I was putting in the landscape lights. Ticks? Screw that! This is NJ, home of deer ticks and Lyme Disease. And those horrible Brown Recluse spiders. Although it was just a regular tick, not a deer tick. Still. Time to get draconian an unleash some wholesale slaughter. But once again we’re having liquid inundation, so treating the foundation and the bushes with Bifen I/T and Cyonara 9.7 will just have to wait.

So, what else? Ah, a nice paragraph from Mark Steyn on armed branches of the government:

A bureaucracy is bad. A politicized bureaucracy is worse. A paramilitary politicized bureaucracy is nuts. And, in fact, evil. There is no reason in a civilized society why the Deputy Assistant Commissioner of Paperwork should have his own Seal Team Six.

St. Louis going from worse to worser ... after multiple multiple shootings in the past few days, all the tops cops went out on patrol trying to help augment the regulars for a show of force. And some jive dude walked right out in the street and shot up the Commander’s car, with him in it. He’s fine, but the thug got away. 8 shootings in one night leave 18 wounded, right on the heels of Davonta Coleman doing a drive-by that shot 6 on Monday. Yes indeed, every single one of these events was done by black guys. Deal with it.

Hey, you wonder how the feds are getting away with all that spying on us citizens? Exemplary powers! Why? Because we’re in a national state of emergency! Say what? Yup. The one Bush put us in back on 9/14/01 ... not only has it not been rescinded, but Obama upped the ante on 9/11. Read more. Hey, this never ending state of emergency jazz ... IIRC isn’t this how tin pot dictators stay in power?

Speaking of poisoning things, I’ve been reading a rather scholarly treatise on Lucrezia Borgia. It’s hard going, but well researched. And it shows that the TV show Showtime just cancelled The Borgias was quite close to what really went on. Crivens!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
