“He arado en el mar”

Las palabras ultimas?

Simon Bolivar

I was unable to scale the pay wall the Wall Street Journal has erected to monetize their asset but I did catch glimpse of the headline on Drudge. 

“NDak passes Venezuela in oil production”

North Dakota, AKA, so help me, The Flickertail State, up until someone decided to marry “fracking” with “slant drilling”, was known for a few non-hydrocarbon things. #1 – It provided, you betcha, the backdrop for “Fargo” which led to “The Big Lebowski” which will make the state a Mecca for serious amateur cinephiles and #2 – It had more nuclear armed ICBMs and B-52s per capita than any place on the planet and #3 – the mighty NDSU Bison has given us almost as many pre-Christmas treats as Bing Crosby.

Those Luddites who constantly caterwaul about drowning polar bears being harbingers of the coming end of days and that oil has peaked and that plastic is evil – I spent Saturday and Sunday in 2 different hospitals and I can offer unequivocal empirical evidence that, absent plastic, modern  medicine would return to shamans with sticks thtough their noses shaking amulets filled with bones of slain sheep and disemboweled owls – and that Solyndra will rise again just as soon as we get Bernie the Bolshie and Congresschck Chiquita in charge. “Fracking”, now being used here for almost 70 years, and “slant drilling”, a technique once frowned on by oil royalty owners, was combined by a bunch of guys in North Dakota, doubtless driven by Mammon, to show those morons in Venezuela how to drill, produce, ship oil, and more importantly, by making the dog hunt and the mule plow.

The people who own the shovel hire people to use the shovel because they want the stuff that the shovel produces. That enables them to buy more shovels and hire more people to use them. People learn to use the shovel for 2 reasons: A – They want to feed both themselves and their family and -B- They want to get their own shovel.

Lenin/Stalin/Hitler/Mao/Nkrumah/Castro/Mugabe/Chavez/Maduro decided to cut out the middle man. They all failed. Beyond that, they all failed miserably. With the exception of “strict constructionist” Trappist monks, there is no example of successful communal ownership. The continuing attempt to deconstruct History by promising that enough rainbow stew and balloon juice will enable a properly motivated proletariat to overturn gravity and jump the so far unjumpable horizon shark. Listen up, peckerheads. It ain’t going to happen.

The first thing I did when I exploited the earth and tore away from her bosom those somnambulant riches in Ohio and New Mexico was to send a check to the local rescue squad. The “unintended consequences” of my contribution was that it was good for business. Ditto for Kentucky, Wyoming, West Virginia, and New York.

Bill McGuinness, an alumnus of Xavier High School where he was a classmate of Antonin Scalia, and the Merchant Marine Academy, where he learned to steer big oil tankers, told me that the best thing the gobierno de Venezuela did was to keep the shipping lanes open and well buoyed. Chavez and Maduro stopped doing that.

That’s why the country is a Hellish shithole where the people kill and eat perros y gatos and zoo animals. A “service dog” has a new definition.

Warren Buffett bought a railroad to ship the oil from North Dakota because he knew that the wing-nut moon bats who worked for Obama would never let a pipe line be built. [BTB, we probably wouldn’t have been able to beat Hitler before the Russkies got to Normandy from the East without the “Big Inch”. Look it up.] As that continues to change – Viva Trump! – we will be able to export more oil and gas. Follow the bouncing ball, please. That means we will be able to tell people who stone women and fly planes into buildings and martyr priests and outlaw balloons and ban whistling and blow up 2,500-year-old statues to consider a career change.

“Creative destruction” leads to progress. Maybe we have a Renaissance in the future. Too bad the WOGs have never had one.

“He arado en el mar”

“I have plowed in the sea.”

Sorry, Che. You killed all those people for nothing.

PS – I see where Seth Curry, he of the long distance 3-pointer, doesn’t believe that Man landed on the moon. He’s a step away from buying into Bush 41 taking a SR71 Black Bird to Paris in October, 1980 to meet with the Iranians and fix the ’80 election or that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for J. Edgar Hoover who was the second gun man, the one on the Grassy Knoll, who wore a black sheath dress with a side slit to avoid detection and that FDR gave the Japs the passwords to fly undetected to Pearl Harbor and that Sasquatch will step out of a flying saucer at half-time of the next Rose Bowl with the answers to the Bermuda Triangle and the cure for the heartbreak of psoriasis. Honest. Keep those feet straight, square those shoulders, and follow through, you putz
