Let’s All Flush

_{Cameron (Cam) Cardow, Canada - The Ottawa Citizen}

Lest We Forget

he Atlantic, with its extensions such as the North Sea, the Baltic, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, is the most important ocean in the world. The only major populated land mass that the Atlantic does not touch is Australia. For centuries, the Atlantic has been the key trade highway of civilization. Exactly sixty-four years ago today, it became the scene of a tremendous battle.

In September 1939, this highway once again became the theater in which a major war would be won and lost. It had often been such a theater.  World War I and the Napoleonic Wars come immediately to mind.

“September 1939.  The Atlantic becomes the primal chasm, the wild void on whose conquest rests the fate of men...”

For Britain and her allies, victory in the Atlantic war meant keeping the Atlantic sea lanes open to their shipping.  From the outset, Britain was vulnerable.  She could not feed herself.  A vast quantity of her food had to be imported via the Atlantic sea lanes.  Over these sea lanes also came all of Britain’s oil, a vital strategic resource then, as now.  Apart from this, practically every GI who would fight in Europe was convoyed over the Atlantic sea lanes, not to mention fuel, food and supplies for all the Allied armies.

For the Germans, victory in the Atlantic meant denying its use to Britain and her allies.  Britain herself would be isolated, strangled, and knocked out of the war.  Denial of the sea lanes to the Allies meant a war to destroy, or at least immobilize, the Allied merchant marines.

Although magnetic mines, the Luftwaffe, and surface raiders took a certain toll, the burden of the German effort was borne by the U-boats, and this fact shaped the general character of the Atlantic war.

“Everywhere beneath the sea, everywhere the enemy.  Resolute ships struggle to survive...”

Because of its nature, the Atlantic war was possessed of little of the grandeur and drama of the Pacific war, with its monumental carrier battles, its far-flung amphibious operations, and the battles for remote islands, such as Guadalcanal, that became legend.  Only a few legends, such as the pursuit of the battleship Bismarck, came out of the plodding, dreary, monotonous, but vital battle over the key oceanic supply line of the war, the Battle of the
Atlantic.

The Bismarck sortie of 18-27 MAY 1941 represented the supreme effort of the German navy to exploit surface raiders in the Battle of the Atlantic. The most notorious prior effort had been that of the pocket-battleship Graf Spee during the early months of the war.

Graf Spee’s raiding cruise netted nine merchant ship victims in the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and had put the Allies to a vast amount of trouble in an attempt to corner her.  And corner her they did, on 13 DEC 1939, in the Battle of the River Plate, with British cruisers Ajax, Achilles and Exeter.  Following the battle, the Graf Spee sought shelter and time to lick her wounds in the neutral port of Montevideo.  On 17 DEC 1939, facing a choice of internment in Uruguay, further battle, or suicide, her captain, Hans Langsdorff, chose suicide, for both the ship and himself.

The regular warships of the German Navy did not return to the Atlantic trade war until October 1940, when the Graf Spee’s sister ship, Admiral Scheer, broke out on a five-month raiding cruise, under the wily Captain Theodor Krancke.  With this effort is associated another of the few legends of the Atlantic war, the epic and fatal struggle of a single convoy escort (the auxiliary cruiser Jervis Bay) against the Scheer’s overwhelming firepower, in an attempt to protect convoy HX-84, or at least give its ships time to scatter and escape.  And in this, Jervis Bay was largely successful.  Thanks to her gallantry, Scheer’s bag was much smaller than it might have been.

Scheer cruised on, however, through the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, to run up a total score of destroyed or captured merchant shipping roughly twice that of the Graf Spee.  And unlike Spee, she returned safely home.  Again her pursuers had been put to a vast amount of trouble in trying to corner her, wearing out ships’ hulls and machinery, wearing down the efficiency of their crews, diverting ships that were needed elsewhere, and burning tons upon tons of fuel oil that could only be replaced across the very ocean lifeline the Scheer, like U-boats and other raiders, was threatening. 

While Scheer was still out, heavy cruiser Admiral Hipper darted out on a pair of hit-and-run raids that were modestly successful, and then came Fleet Admiral Gunther Lütjens with battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.  These raiders inaugurated a two-month reign of terror on the North Atlantic convoy routes, accounting for 22 merchant ships before following Hipper into the French port of Brest.  There they were held for maintenance and repairs, in preparation for even bigger things to come.

These took the shape of Operation Rheinübung, the first Atlantic war cruise of the Bismarck. The original plan was for Bismarck to sortie in company with Hipper’s sister cruiser, the Prinz Eugen.  As they broke into the Atlantic, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were to sortie from Brest in support (Hipper had broken back to German waters), and the four ships were to join hands at sea and thus form a battle squadron that could be strong enough to sever Britain’s ocean lifelines.

However, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau could not be made ready in time. Bismarck and Prinz Eugen had to break out alone, in the teeth of a Royal Navy that was aroused and smarting from its humiliations of recent months.  And on 18 MAY 1941, under Admiral Lütjens, Bismarck sailed to her destiny.

In the course of breaking out into the Atlantic on 24 MAY 1941, Bismarck sent the pride of the Royal Navy, battle cruiser Hood, to the bottom.  But in turn, the Royal Navy mounted an unprecedented effort to corner and destroy Bismarck.  After being chased across the North Atlantic, Bismarck was crippled by planes of the Fleet Air Arm (flying from carrier Ark Royal), pounded into a wreck by British battleships and cruisers, and sunk, on 27 MAY 1941.  Hood was avenged, and the Atlantic lifelines were reprieved.

No German battleship ever again attempted to cut them.

“There are no tombstones in the sea, only the drifting remnants of disaster.  The ocean floor is littered with the skeletons of ships and sailors who died that freedom might live...”

Protest Chant Du Jour

Newsweek Lied, People Died!!

-or-

Guns don’t kill people, Newsweek kills people!!!

The White House thinks Newsweek should do more than just retract their story .... my personal choice would be for them to shut down operations in the US and move to Saudi Arabia - so long, goodbye, asshats!

Main Stream Media (MSM) Circles The Wagons (Again)

Yep, the MSM “Good ol’ Boys Club” is coming to Newsweek’s defense, saying their recent lying story was, once again, “fake but accurate”. The Media Research Center is all over it ....

Following the “fake but accurate” theme espoused by some to defend CBS’s use of forged memos to get President Bush, in the wake of Newsweek’s retraction late Monday of its claim that a military report would include the charge that a guard at Guantanamo flushed a Koran down a toilet, journalistic colleagues came to Newsweek’s defense and contended that the magazine’s larger portrait of how the U.S. regards the Muslim region remains accurate. CNN’s Anderson Cooper proposed: “Is it beyond the realm of possibility that a tactic like this was used?” CBS and ABC passed along allegations from prisoners. Richard Roth of CBS recalled: “Detainees released in 2003 came home claiming American guards had routinely provoked them by sitting on the Koran, or putting pages in a toilet.” ABC’s Martha Raddatz argued: “The Newsweek article was not the first time U.S. personnel have been accused of desecrating the Koran. Last year, this British detainee released from Guantanamo said guards ‘would kick the Koran, throw it into the toilet and generally disrespect it.’”

Forsake The Troops Update

I was browsing some of our blogrolled blog sites in the last few minutes and came across this interesting story at Annoying Little Twerp’s blog. Barb forgot to put a link to the ”Forsake The Troops” blog site but I have it filed (under “C for cockroaches). So, I weighed anchor and sailed over to weasel’s web site to further investigate this mysterious “death”. Pictured below is a screenshot of what I found at the mealy-mouthed maggot’s blog site ....

Hmmmmm. Seemed mighty suspicious to me so I decided to don my “intrepid reporter’s” cloak and pursue the story. I tracked the web site down in the WHOIS registry to Syracuse, NY and a quick search with Google showed that he had made the local Syracuse news in recent months with his behavior. That’s where the conundrum occurred. The owner of the site, according to ARINN (which has severe penalties for fraudulently registering a domain) is Michael Crook of Syracuse, NY (yes, that’s in “Hilldabeast Country").

However, another quick search of Google with keywords “Syracuse + News” turned up three local TV stations and .... not one of them had a story about Mr. Crook’s “demise” in any of the local news coverage. Plenty of robberies, muggings, killings, break-ins, overdoses in the area (hey, it’s New York, remember?) but Mr. Crook’s death evidently escaped the local news.

Another fraud from this bullshit-artist? I think so. Then again I could be wrong and we can all dance our “happy dance”. If anyone has any information related to the timely demise of Mr. Crook, please forward it to me here. Otherwise, I smell a rather large rat ....

Update: As noted in the comments here (from Fine Old Cannibal) the weenies at Democratic Underground are peeing their panties over this hoax .... and that’s exactly what it is. Dang! (with thanks to DreadPundit Bluto for tracking this down).

Speaking Of Lunch ….

.... how would you like your maggots served????

Dishes at the Espitas restaurant in Dresden include maggot ice cream, maggot salads and maggot cocktails.

Espitas owner Alexander Wolf said: “We are the first in the world as far as I know to start importing them.

“What started out as a bit of a joke has exceeded all expectations. We started serving them about a month ago, and now we have guests spreading the word to their friends, and we are now fully booked for weeks ahead.

“We serve maggot salads, fried maggots with cactus and corn, maggot desserts such as maggots in ice cream or chocolate sauce, and of course maggot cocktails.

“The maggots have proved to be such a success, that I now preparing my next project: a delicious traditional Mexican dish of ant eggs and grasshoppers in several variations.”

Teenager Sarah Azubi, 17, said: “I had them deep fried, they were crunchy like chips and tasted a bit like nuts, with a soft juicy bit in the middle around a crunchy shell.”

Bon Appétit, mon ami!

Star Parker On Social Security

Self proclaimed “former welfare queen” Star Parker had some thoughts yesterday about Social Security.  Notice how Star calls the private accounts in Social Security “personal savings accounts.” Star has some suggestions for President Bush on how to shape his message and I think she is correct.  I can just imagine Star as a Presidential advisor and President Bush asking her, “I love your first book, Pimps, Whores and Welfare Brats, but do you really think I should be that direct?”

What is the point of personal savings accounts (don’t even think about calling them private accounts)? Are they supposed to strengthen Social Security? Or, are they being proposed because Social Security is a bad deal and Americans should be permitted to keep and invest their money for retirement?

Is it any wonder that the American people are confused? What are they supposed to do with a confused message that says, on the one hand, the system is broken and a bad deal for working Americans and, on the other hand, that we need to strengthen and save it?

One of Reagan’s most famous speeches was the one he gave in Germany urging that the Berlin Wall be torn down. The person who wrote the speech relates that political operatives in the White House and State Department wanted this line removed. It only stayed in because Reagan himself insisted that it remain.

Bush needs to follow Reagan’s example. He should forget the political games and have confidence that if he tells the simple and honest truth to the American people, they will understand and follow his leadership.

The simple truth is that the Social Security system needs to be replaced with one in which American workers retain their own money and invest in their own retirement accounts. Our task is to devise a plan to let workers opt for personal accounts. And, in the meantime, we must tap our resources to meet existing obligations to current retirees. That’s it. Clear and simple.

Social Security and Medicare will engulf the entire federal budget.  If you are the type of person who needs charts, here you go ....

Judicial Restraint

Boston Herald

This ruling leaves lover more than broken hearted

A North Shore man who suffered a fractured penis while making love with his girlfriend cannot sue her for recklessness because the couple were engaged in consensual sex, the state Appeals Court ruled yesterday.

No that, my friends, is bold.  Suing your girlfriend when she breaks your unit.

The injury required emergency surgery and a lengthy recovery.

At least is wasn’t a short recovery!

Gunfight At The OK Corral

Talks in the Senate on filibustering have broken down ....

Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid Ike Clanton (D-Nev.) announced yesterday that he and Majority Leader Bill Frist Doc Holliday (R-Tenn.) had broken off negotiations aimed at averting a showdown over President Bush’s Wyatt Earp’s judicial nominees, moving the Senate Tombstone to the brink of a constitutional confrontation gun fight and a battle that holds peril for both political parties and the White House Marshall Earp.

Reid Clanton, emerging from an afternoon meeting with Frist Holliday, declared that the two leaders had reached an impasse after weeks of talks. “Negotiations are over,” he said. “It’ll have to be decided on the Senate floor at the OK Corral.”

Newsweek Retracts Its Story

The anti-American press at NewsSqueek finally retracted their story and admitted they got it all wrong. Pakistan is incensed. The US Administration is livid .... and sixteen people in Afghanistan are dead.

I call upon everyone within earshot or eyeshot of this blog to boycott any advertiser who places ads in NewsSneak magazine. These rabid biased rags need to learn a lesson about shoddy reporting.

I will be checking weekly to see who is advertising in NewsCreep Magazine and publishing a list here. You’re either with me or you’re against me. I declare JIHAD against this radical, leftist rag .... SPREAD THE WORD!

Cuban Toilet Superiority

hen was the last time you tried to flush an object this size, weighing a little over four pounds down your toilet? Have you ever been stupid enough to try? How much was the bill your plumber handed you afterward? Seriously folks, Newsweek deserves to suffer actual legal penalties over this tale of flushings. Sixteen Afghans dead, hundreds wounded and nobody knows how many of our troops were killed or injured after this vicious lie Newsweek spread made its way to the Middle East. There has been untold damage done to the war on terror and our nation’s attempts to bring peace and democracy to that troubled region.

Frank Salvato of The Conservative Voice examines the “ins and outs” of toilets in Cuba and does all the serious research into why a Quran can not be simply flushed .... something Newsweek neglected to do ....

Having read Michael Isikoff and John Berry’s May 9th article in Newsweek magazine I was forced to come to a conclusion: Cuban toilets were much better than those in the United States. But, with Newsweek’s retraction of Isikoff and Barry’s ‘Quran flushing story’ it would appear that Kohler is safe, at least for now.

You may ask me how I could have possibly come to the conclusion that Cuban toilet artisans were superior to their American counterparts, what with the travel ban to Cuba and all. My conclusion was based in common sense and deductive reasoning.

In Isikoff and Berry’s article they cited an anonymous source as stating that interrogators at Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo Bay flushed an entire Quran down the toilet. They did this, the anonymous source said, in an attempt to shake the will of the suspected terrorists so as to gain information on other terrorists and their potential plots.

As I sat reading this allegation it dawned on me, the toilets in Cuba must be incredible. I mean, here in the United States all one has to do is use too much toilet paper and the toilets clog. In Europe – which I have traveled more than once – the toilets are much the same as they are here, able to handle about the same amount of “payload.” Can you imagine the power of a flush that could transport an entire Quran through the pipes? And we thought we had great water pressure!

The thought of American toilet superiority being vanquished by Cuba’s weighed heavily on my mind. So, I conducted an experiment ....

News Flash: The White House has just issued a statement demanding Newsweek issue a retraction.
