Technical Issues

Technical issues have prevented the author of this blog from posting this blog via typewritten scans. Your faithful writer apologizes for this, and hopes that by next week the reader will be reading properly typewritten posts instead of formed electrons.
Consider these issues.
1.) NATO and the US are bombing Libya for some reason. If we here at the Manor understand the explanation properly, the excuse has something to do with human rights and the fact that Qadaffi is an awful dictator and all-around bad guy. We here at the Manor do not doubt that Qadaffi is a complete butt and butt-head. But one has to ask one's self if he is any worse than the government of the People's Republic of China. Mr. Qadaffi, as far as this writer is aware, has never arrested or persecuted the citizens if Libya for religious reasons. In fact, considering that he has in the past proclaimed himself a devout Orc, he has given Christians a pretty free reign (the citizens of Libya, on the other hand, have not). The Chi-Coms, on the other hand, have not been loath to pound down on Christians outside the Three-Self Church, members of the Falun Gong and Muslims. This writer has heard no demands for actions against China in reactions to Chinese persecution.
Analysis: Libya is weak and has a bunch of oil used in Europe. China is strong and will have no oil until they start to steal it from Vietnam and the Philippines.
2.) The One has announced that the US will be withdrawing 10,000 troops from Afghanistan by late 2012 and there will be a pretty much complete withdrawal by 2014.
There's nothing like telling the enemy what you will do. The stupidest chess tyro knows that. If The One had been president during the Civil War he'd probably still be a slave.

Links. No Tlog

This writer is still attempting to work out the niceties of scanners (oh, for the steam powered age), so this Tlog is a blog.
Two items of interest:
Gates of Vienna: Camp of the Saints: How Many Infidels?
Germany has too many housewives, EU warns - The Local
One has to ask oneself two questions concerning the above:
1.) Do the problems of other nations require the aid of other nations to their own detriment?
2.) Why should Germany, or any other European nation pay any attention to the wishes, opinions or suggestions of the European Union? The EU is an artificial construct based in a joke of a nation.

So Long Blog, Hello Tlog

As those in the know are well aware, we here at Nib Manor are considered old-fashioned. The reason is because it's true.
In the spirit of Ludditeism, starting tomorrow this blog will, for the most part, become a tlog. A blog is a blog in which actual typewritten pages are scanned and uploaded to the blog. More misspellings and more typos, but more human.

Link-O-Rama

While we here at the Manor are capitalist, we are not modern or extreme capitalists. By this the writer means that a company or bank should expect a FAIR return for its investment and not an excessive return for its investment or perceived investment. Banks are especially guilty of being, and perceived as being greedy entities by their customers. Here is an example of someone getting their own against the Bank of America:

The writer of this blog has for several years urged the reader to read the novel The Camp of the Saints. The novel is coming true in slow motion:
