Several commenters on yesterday’s blog on Richard Fernandez’ China posts inquired about Walt Ericksson, resident poet of the Belmont Club. Can anyone confirm that this is the same Walt?
She [Pelosi] said that there was a requirement to pass the bill and “keep government open.” “We have to do those imminently,” Pelosi stuttered. “More imminently to fully address the full Obama agenda of building back better.”
Now, was that too much adult libation for lunch that made her misspeak? Or was she really saying something there? It had a lot of people talking because there’s often speculation on who the people are behind Biden. It even trended on Twitter.
Is Susan Rice the woman behind the curtain?
It’s odd to me that grass has only existed since the tail end of the Dinosaur era (66mya) and today covers something like 40% of Earth’s land mass. It’s difficult to imagine what Earth must’ve looked like without vast prairies, savannahs, and steppes.
Energy mismanagement discussed in financial news.
Reuters, Padraic Halpin
DUBLIN, Sept 29 (Reuters) – Ireland may face an electricity shortfall over the next five winters unless it boosts supply to meet an unusual surge in demand, primarily driven by power-hungry data centres, the country’s electricity grid operator warned on Wednesday.
– – – –
Ireland’s increase will be driven by expanding large energy users, especially data centres, it said. Ireland is one Europe’s largest data-centre hubs with Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook all storing data in a country where they are also among some of the largest employers.
– – – –
Ireland’s Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) will also publish a new connection policy for data centres next month, which it said on Wednesday would include more on-site generation and the cutting of demand at peak times.
The CRU told government to boost supply in a number of ways, including procuring new gas capacity, emergency generators and temporarily extending the operation of older and more expensive higher carbon-emitting plants as a back up.
Consumers may have to pay more as a result, CRU Commissioner Jim Gannon said.
Households across Europe are already facing much higher bills due to soaring gas prices. Ireland has also been hit by the lowest wind levels in decades, poor plant performance and limited interconnector support from Britain, EirGrid said.
On-site generation and emergency generators? That is a high cost, low efficiency, high carbon option.

Can’t have been any public deck chairs on Hydra because there’s no mention of Germans.
Bishop Michael Anton of the Diocese of Hillsdale, ordained in the true Apostolic Succession by the late great (alas, upon Zaphod he grates) Saint Henry Jaffa appears here in a Disputation with that vile and heretical Anabaptist Curtis Yarvin:
“Noem appears to be fine with being on the side of “big government and social engineering using government power to force behavior” when it comes to landing her daughter a job and advancing corporate interests. The reports of an affair with Lewandowski and strong-arming nepotism represent personal duplicity in a woman who has already proven politically hypocritical.
Noem wears the skin of a principled politician to deflect criticism and thus tarnishes what it actually means to be one. She preaches virtue yet has proven utterly venal. Noem appeals to constitutional fidelity to excuse inaction and graft but has no such fidelity herself. To understand why political cynicism abounds, look to the likes of the governor of the Mount Rushmore State.”
Sounds like a perfect Republican.

Hmmm. But yes a most interesting, terrifying, preposterous and sardonic link.
We have been warned…. (But then we always are….)
Zaphod,
My xylons are knocking. He is the kind of guy when abroad, gives Amis a bad name. If he is up to any more exotic journeys he should stay close to Greektown – Detroit. But do not insult the locals in the surrounds. Unlike Hydra, his life expectancy will be short.
So many “official” sources of death and hospitalization rates for the Chinese Corona virus have manipulated so many of their statistics, analyses, projections, and recommendations that they have totally discredited themselves, so that I now have no idea of the actual state of play, and perhaps that is actually the objective here.

It seems like yesterday that I enjoyed his poems and pithy comments. Can it be 5 years already that he is gone?
Did Nancy Pelosi make a Freudian slip yesterday?
