Deja Vu All Over Again

Call me a pessimist but yesterday’s five-day track had Rita coming ashore in Galveston. Today’s track shows it will probably hit farther North at Houston. Upper atmosphere wind shears seem to be driving it North and East. I predict tomorrow’s track will show it hitting Morgan City, LA and by Thursday it will be headed for .... you guessed it .... The good news is it’s only expected to be a category 3 .... which means N’Awlins will only be hit by an eighteen-wheeler this time instead of a freight train ....

Arise, Lazarus!

New Jersey: 4,755 Deceased People Cast Ballots in November Elections
TRENTON (JERSEY JOURNAL)

New Jersey Republicans yesterday called for a review of the state’s election rolls, saying a four-month investigation by the party uncovered widespread irregularities. More than 6,500 voters cast ballots both in New Jersey and another state in last November’s election, while 4,755 ballots were cast by deceased voters, Republican State Committee Chairman Tom Wilson said. In addition, 54,601 people are registered to vote in two New Jersey counties, and 4,397 of them cast ballots in both places last fall, Wilson said.

The party delivered a letter with its findings to Attorney General Peter Harvey’s office, asking for a probe before Oct. 11, the last day New Jerseyans can register to vote before the Nov. 8 election. In light of voter registration problems that surfaced in Florida in 2000 and in Ohio and Washington state last fall, Harvey should take an aggressive approach in New Jersey, Wilson said. “Some people have chosen to ignore those clear and compelling warning signals, and that’s what we’ve done here - taken a laissez-faire and lax attitude to enforcing and rooting out voter problems,” Wilson said in a news conference.

Thursday’s letter asked for Harvey to respond by Sept. 23. Otherwise, Wilson said, the party may seek a court order to compel better enforcement. Harvey spokesman Lee Moore said the Election Law Enforcement Commission would review the Republicans’ assertions to determine what course of action, if any, is appropriate. “The attorney general is committed to making sure that election laws are enforced and making sure they are in all manners aboveboard,” Moore said.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Corzine and Republican businessman Doug Forrester are running for New Jersey governor this fall. While Wilson predicted a close race - making electoral integrity critical - for months polls have been predicting a healthy lead for Corzine. The State Democratic Committee dismissed the opposition’s conclusions. “If the Republican Party conducted the investigation, it’s safe to assume that the facts and figures are wrong and the findings are suspect,” Democratic spokesman Richard McGrath said. “If an investigation is needed, it should be done the right way, not the Republican way.”

Bill Clinton: Backstabber

Clinton Launches Withering Attack On Bush
WASHINGTON (AFP)

Former US president Bill Clinton sharply criticised George W. Bush for the Iraq War and the handling of Hurricane Katrina, and voiced alarm at the swelling US budget deficit. Breaking with tradition under which US presidents mute criticisms of their successors, Clinton said the Bush administration had decided to invade Iraq “virtually alone and before UN inspections were completed, with no real urgency, no evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction.” The Iraq war diverted US attention from the war on terrorism “and undermined the support that we might have had,” Bush said in an interview with an ABC’s “This Week” programme. Clinton said there had been a “heroic but so far unsuccessful” effort to put together an constitution that would be universally supported in Iraq.

The US strategy of trying to develop the Iraqi military and police so that they can cope without US support “I think is the best strategy. The problem is we may not have, in the short run, enough troops to do that,” said Clinton. On Hurricane Katrina, Clinton faulted the authorities’ failure to evacuate New Orleans ahead of the storm’s strike on August 29. People with cars were able to heed the evacuation order, but many of those who were poor, disabled or elderly were left behind. “If we really wanted to do it right, we would have had lots of buses lined up to take them out,” Clinton. He agreed that some responsibility for this lay with the local and state authorities, but pointed the finger, without naming him, at the former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

FEMA boss Michael Brown quit in response to criticism of his handling of the Katrina disaster. He was viewed as a political appointee with no experience of disaster management or dealing with government officials. “When James Lee Witt ran FEMA, because he had been both a local official and a federal official, he was always there early, and we always thought about that,” Clinton said, referring to FEMA’s head during his 1993-2001 presidency.

“But both of us came out of environments with a disproportionate number of poor people.” On the US budget, Clinton warned that the federal deficit may be coming untenable, driven by foreign wars, the post-hurricane recovery programme and tax cuts that benefitted just the richest one percent of the US population, himself included. “What Americans need to understand is that ... every single day of the year, our government goes into the market and borrows money from other countries to finance Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, and our tax cuts,” he said.

“We have never done this before. Never in the history of our republic have we ever financed a conflict, military conflict, by borrowing money from somewhere else.” Clinton added: “We depend on Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Korea primarily to basically loan us money every day of the year to cover my tax cut and these conflicts and Katrina. I don’t think it makes any sense.”

Me Favorite Pirate Wenches - ARRRH!

Mary Read was born in England and raised as a boy so that her widowed mother could get money from her husband’s parents. About the age of 12, Mary served as a “footman” for a Lady. Later she joined the Flemish army and fought as an infantryman. No one knew the soldier was a woman until her heart got the better of her. She fell in love with a fellow soldier, who at first was alarmed at the advances of this “man.” She finally revealed herself to be a woman and the soldier became enamored of her. At the end of the conflict, they revealed their secret to their fellow soldiers. The unit gave them a lavish wedding and chipped in to buy them a tavern near Utrecht, Belgium (then Flanders).

Alas, happiness was not to last and Mary’s husband died of an illness soon after. Having nothing better to do with herself, Mary donned her male disguise and went to sea on a ship to the West Indies. As was common in that time (see this website, Pirate Facts), pirates captured the vessel and pressed the captured crew into pirate life. Mary apparently took to the life of piracy very well. She was said to “Swear and Shoot as well as any Mann.” She fell in love with a sailor — who apparently didn’t return her affections. When the sailor offended another pirate and was challenged to a duel, Mary created an offense with the pirate that also demanded a duel — only she scheduled their face-off a half-hour before her would-be lover’s. Then she promptly killed the man, thus saving her love interest. He was less than grateful.

As luck would have it, the ship Mary boarded belonged to “Calico Jack” Rakham. Aboard this vessel was the only other woman pirate of the Caribbean, Ann Bonny. Bonny, although she was openly living with Calico Jack, was attracted to one of the new crew and made her interests know to the “fellow,” who revealed “himself” to be Mary Read. There are some historians who believe there may have been a sexual relationship between the two.

Ann Bonny was born in Ireland, the product of a married lawyer and his wife’s maid. Their union created so much of a scandal that the threesome left to join the South Carolina colony and start a plantation. Ann was a wild child, riding and shooting as well or better than boys her age. Then she fell in love with a poor seaman by the name of Bonny and ran away with him. The two ended up in New Providence, Bahamas, then a pirate stronghold.

Ann and Bonny soon had a parting of the ways when raffish Calico Jack showed up. There are differing accounts, but it seems that there was an attempt at a Common Law Divorce in which Calico Jack offered money or barter for Ann’s freedom from her husband. Some historians say Ann was too proud to go through with it. In any case, the three were jailed and, once freed, Bonny and Calico Jack left the island for the pirate’s life. Ann wore men’s clothes when the crew went to action.

Calico Jack and his crew were captured by the British in 1721. It was said that while Calico Jack and most of the crew stayed below decks drinking and gambling rather than face their foes. Mary, Ann and a few others fought bravely, but were eventually captured. The crew were taken to trial in Spanishtown, Jamaica and sentenced to die by hanging. At this point, Mary and Ann (still in men’s clothes) stepped forward and said “Sir, We plead our bellies” — meaning they were pregnant. The court went into an uproar. No one had ever heard of women behaving in such a manner. But the women knew their legal standing. English law forbade the hanging of a pregnant woman (taking of an unborn life) until they came to term, at which point the mother would be executed and the baby turned over to an orphanage. A doctor confirmed that the women were, indeed, both about six months along. Before the pirate crew was hanged, they testified to both women behaving as men — especially Mary’s would-be (& possibly the father of the baby) lover. Apparently, this was an attempt to have the women hanged with the rest of the crew. The women were, however, spared. Mary Read died a few months later of a fever. Bonny either escaped or was bailed out by her rich father — depending upon what source you believe.

ARRRRH! Grog From Cans Sucks!

What’s in Those Cans Besides Beer?
(NOTRE DAME MAGAZINE)

It can now be revealed why bottled beer and beer from a tap tastes different from beer in a can. Be forewarned: if you’re a six-pack enthusiast, you’re not going to like the explanation. When you sip a can of your favorite brew, you are savoring not only fermented grain and hops but just a hint of the same preservative that kept the frog you dissected in 10th-grade biology class lily-pad fresh: formaldehyde. What is formaldehyde doing in beer? The same thing it’s doing in pop and other food and drink packaged in steel and aluminum cans: killing bacteria. But not the bacteria in the drink, the bacteria that attacks a lubricant used in the manufacture of the can.

Notre Dame’s Steven R. Schmid, associate professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering, is an expert in tribology — the study of friction, wear and the lubrication — applied to manufacturing and machine design. The co-author of two textbooks, Fundamentals of Machine Elements and Manufacturing Engineering and Technology (considered the bible of manufacturing engineering), Schmid has conducted extensive research on the manufacturing processes used in the production of beverage and other kinds of cans.

Schmid explains that back in the 1940s, when brewers and other beverage makers began putting drinks in steel (and, later, aluminum) cans, the can makers added formaldehyde to a milk-like mixture of 95 percent water and 5 percent oil that’s employed in the can manufacturing process. The mixture, called an emulsion, bathes the can material and the can-shaping tooling, cooling and lubricating both. Additives in the oil part are certain bacteria’s favorite food. But if the bacteria eat the emulsion, it won’t work as a lubricant anymore. So can makers add a biocide to the emulsion to kill the bacteria.

Before a can is filled and the top attached, this emulsion is rinsed off, but a small residue of the oil-water mixture is inevitably left behind, including trace amounts of the biocide. The amounts remaining are not enough to be a health hazard, but they are enough to taste, and the first biocide used back in the 1940s was formaldehyde. In the decades since, can makers have devised new formulas for emulsions, always with an eye toward making them more effective, more environmentally friendly and less costly. But because formaldehyde was in the original recipe, people got used to their canned Budweiser or whatever having a hint of the famous preservative’s flavor. For this reason, Schmid says, every new emulsion formula since then has had to be made to taste like formaldehyde, “or else people aren’t going to accept it.” Extensive tests are run to make sure the lubricant and additives taste like formaldehyde.

“It’s not that it tastes okay. It’s just what people are used to tasting,” he says. (Miller Genuine Draft and similar brews, Schmid says, use biocides that have no flavor.) The formaldehyde flavor legacy is one little-known aspect of can-making. Another involves the smooth coating applied to the inside of cans. The rinse cycle that attempts to wash off the emulsion also aims to remove particulate metal debris that forms on the metal’s surface during the bending and shaping of a can. Like the emulsion, some of the microscopic debris always remains after rinsing. Unlike the emulsion, it can be dangerous to swallow.

To keep powdered metal out of a can’s contents, Schmid says, manufacturers spray-coat the inside with a polymer dissolved in a solvent. When the can is heated, the solvent boils away, leaving only the protective polymer coating. The coating not only plasters any microscopic debris to the can wall and away from the food, it keeps the food from interacting with can material, an especially important consideration with steel cans.

Pirate Treasure Found

Looters’ Caches Popping Up in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS (AP)

It was like a modern-day treasure map—a computerized diagram of neighborhoods with codes marking the addresses where National Guard soldiers came upon caches of goods taken by looters in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. “There’s probably still loot out there” hidden in various homes, Capt. Gregg McGowan said from his Oklahoma National Guard unit’s makeshift headquarters. “We’re not going house-to-house looking for it, but if we find it, we secure it so police can check it.”

In the chaos that followed Katrina’s flooding, looters targeted everything from grocery stores to gun shops to trendy women’s clothing boutiques. Now that the city is mostly empty of civilians, military patrols making house-to-house checks for remaining residents or the dead are finding some of the hiding places for the stolen goods. New Orleans District Attorney Eddie Jordan said he intends to prosecute as many looters as he can. However, few arrests have been made thus far because authorities have been primarily concerned with reaching stranded residents, Jordan said.

The guardsmen recently thought they had caught a looter coming back into town to load his stash onto a moving truck. Inside his home, the soldiers found automobile parts stacked 8 feet high, a new off-road motorcycle and various electronics, including a video game system with a pawn shop ticket still attached. But the man told the soldiers he had no idea where the goods came from and that someone else must have broken into his home and stashed them there after he evacuated. Skeptical, the soldiers detained him until police arrived, filled out a report and seized the goods. They took the man’s name and address, but did not arrest him.

“You could be technical and say, ‘I’m going to book him with possession of stolen property,’ but then you have to find out who the owner is, find out whether that person had permission take that property,” New Orleans Police Capt. Marlon Defillo said. “So what we’re generally doing is seizing the goods as found property and writing a report.” That way, he explained, authorities can return the goods if they figure out where they came from—rather than holding them as evidence pending the resolution of often drawn-out criminal cases.

In other homes, McGowan’s unit found automatic teller machines that had been broken open and emptied of cash and bags of ammunition still packaged in 500-round bundles, not the individual boxes of 20 rounds usually sold over the counter. A smashed-open video poker machine, likely taken from a bar, was left lying on the sidewalk of an Uptown residential street. In a church-run assisted living home close to a heavily looted Wal-Mart in the lower Garden District, a team of guardsmen found new bicycles, stereos and clothing. Someone associated with the church, who refused to give his name, said at least seven rooms in the four-story residence were filled with goods believed to be stolen.

New Orleans police are storing seized loot in a makeshift warehouse near the city’s train station, Defillo said. He declined to provide details on how many goods had been found, how many businesses or homes had been looted, or if authorities had any long-term plan to track down some of the culprits. “We haven’t even had time to deal with that yet,” he said.

Photo Du Jour

Who are these Dog-Faces? This was taken at Chu Lai, Vietnam sometime in the late 60’s. I’m pretty sure one of them is a member here at BMEWS. I’m also pretty sure it’s the goober toting a live grenade (second from left). That’s an M-60 they’re playing with. How come they don’t pick it up and hold it under one arm to fire it like Rambo? Are they too weak? Or is Rambo full of s**t?

CENTCOM Update

HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES CENTRAL COMMAND
September 17, 2005
Release Number: 05-09-40

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MULTI-NATIONAL FORCES CAPTURE KEY TERROR LEADERS IN MOSUL

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Multi-National forces, acting on multiple intelligence sources and tips from local citizens, raided a suspected al-Qaida in Iraq terrorist location in southwest Mosul, Sept. 5, capturing the top al-Qaida leaders in the city.

Captured during the raid was Taha Ibrahim Yasin Becher, (aka Abu Fatima), the al-Qaida in Iraq’s Emir of Mosul, and Hamed Sa’eed Ismael Mustafa, (aka Abu Shahed), the organization’s West Mosul Emir.

Abu Fatima and Abu Shahed were in a meeting at the time of their capture.

Abu Fatima had recently taken over the role of Emir after Abu Talha was captured in June and Abu Zubayr, who replaced Talha, was killed in mid-August. Abu Fatima had only held the position for 12 days when he was captured.

Abu Fatima supervised and directed the day-to-day operations of the organization and was responsible for numerous attacks against Iraqi security and Coalition forces.

Abu Shahed was responsible for organizing al-Qaeda activities in western Mosul. He was responsible for attacks conducted in the area and also participated in attacks involving small arms and other weapons directed against Iraqi security and Coalition forces. As the leader of one of Mosul’s territories he was in line to succeed Abu Fatima in the event of his death or capture.

The simultaneous capture of both leaders damages the organizational structure of al-Qaida in Iraq’s northern network. Abu Fatima and Abu Shahed were both originally from Tall Afar prior to assuming their roles in Mosul. In the past, the Emir position had been filled by terrorists who were already operating in the Mosul area.

Multi-National Force-Iraq announced the Sept. 6 capture of Dara Mohammad Sept. 16.

Dara Mohammad was the Ansar al Sunna Emir of Mosul.

New Emoticons

It has been brought to my attention that many members here have problems with really opening up and expressing themselves. Strike that last sentence. You all know that is blatant bullshit. This is the noisiest bunch I’ve ever seen in my life under one tent. Anyhoo, after Oink’s suggestion and with assistance from OldCatMan, I have added twenty-one (21!) new Smileys to allow the less vocal among you (where? who?) to express yourselves better. Have at it, Gang! Try not to hurt yourselves ....

Skipper’s Sunday Sacrifice

OK, troops! Once again I have made the ultimate sacrifice for you all. Yes, I have just returned from the Huffington Post where I read (agony!) the latest screed from Cindy Sheehan (The Babbling Banshee). I won’t bore you with the entire thing. It’s much too inflammatory (and quite insane). I liken her posts to mental diarrhea .... and right now, I’m covered in Shee-it from Shee-han. Argh ....

After we arrived at Camp Casey III, we took the Veterans for Peace “Impeachment Tour Bus” into New Orleans after stopping at the distribution center to pick up some supplies in Covington. The stench and the destruction are unbelievable. I saw some hurricane zones in the panhandle of Florida last year that were pretty bad but that couldn’t have prepared me for this.

I saw in the paper that George Bush said the recovery in the Gulf States would be “hard work.” That’s what he said about sending troops to Iraq and looking at the casualty reports everyday: “It’s hard work.” That man has never known a day of hard work in his life. The people on the ground in Covington scoffed at George’s little junket to Louisiana yesterday. He stayed in the French Quarter and a Ward that weren’t even damaged a bit. The VFP took me to the city of Algiers on the West Bank. The part of Algiers we went to was very poor and black. The people of Algiers know what hard work is.

Algiers had no flooding. All of the damage was from winds. There are trees knocked over and shingles off of roofs. There are signs blown over and there was a dead body lying on the ground for 2 weeks before someone finally came to get it. Even though Algiers came through Katrina relatively unscathed, our federal government tried to force (mostly successfully) the people out of the community. Malik Rahim, a new friend of ours and resident of Algiers, told us stories of the days after the hurricane. The government declared martial law, but there was no effective police presence to enforce it. Malik said the lawlessness was rampant. People were running out of food and water and they were being forced to go to the Superdome. They didn’t want to go to the Superdome, because their homes were pretty intact: they wanted to stay and have food and water brought to them. A town of 76,000 people dwindled down to 3,000. The die hards were rewarded last Wednesday when the VFP rolled into town with food and water. The Camp Casey III people were the first ones to bring any relief to Algiers. The people who were supposed to look after its citizens, our government, failed them.

The citizens of Algiers desperately needed help and hope before the hurricane. When I think of how many other poor neighborhoods are being decimated and made so desperate and hopeless by the failed policies of the Bush administration, it makes me so angry. But when I see what the people of Algiers are doing to help themselves and the people of America are doing to help them help themselves, it gives me hope. I think Algiers can be a model for all of our communities.

One thing that truly troubled me about my visit to Louisiana was the level of the military presence there. I imagined before that if the military had to be used in a CONUS (Continental US) operations that they would be there to help the citizens: Clothe them, feed them, shelter them, and protect them. But what I saw was a city that is occupied. I saw soldiers walking around in patrols of 7 with their weapons slung on their backs. I wanted to ask one of them what it would take for one of them to shoot me. Sand bags were removed from private property to make machine gun nests.

The vast majority of people who were looting in New Orleans were doing so to feed their families or to get resources to get their families out of there. If I had a store with an inventory of insured belongings, and a tragedy happened, I would fling my doors open and tell everyone to take what they need: it is only stuff. When our fellow citizens are told to “shoot to kill” other fellow citizens because they want to stay alive, that is military and governmental fascism gone out of control. What I saw today in Algiers lifted up my spirits, but what I also saw today in Algiers frightened me terribly.
