Storm T'ssed Seas

I spent the day today flyin' from Barbados t' Houston and
on the Miami leg we flew through the outer edges o' Rita
I took a picture from the cabin window where I could see the
whitecaps t'ssin' on the surface. (Aaaarrrhhh!!!) T' see whitecaps from 25000
feet, it must have been bonnie rough down thar.
(I can't find the usb cable for the camera, doh!)



The airport in Miami was packed as south florida drained of
tourists, 'n the TSA people thar didn't even pretend to
speak english Was Cuba evacuatin' too?

On the radio here in Houston they be talkin' 'bout evacuatin'
from galveston as the over-reaction t' Katrina sets in People
will evacuate, the storm will go t' mexico, then next time they
won't evacuate thus completin' the storm cycle: Fear-overreaction
-apathy-death.

Our house seems well built, 'n we're on bonnie high ground
(for coastal texas) but we're still goin' t' haul dungbee Just not
until the cone o' uncertainty be less than 1000 miles.
Me cycle be more like: watchful waitin', shit in one basket, dog
in car, haul dungbee. (Aarhh!) repeat as necessary.

Here in Alaska the governor is discussing a PR campaign would attempt to tell the rest of the US that Alaska is not just a consumer of Federal money, and it would "tell Alaska's story": (from a column by Beth Bragg) The governor wants to "tell Alaska's story" to the Lower 48 so folks down there have a better idea of what it's like up here. The goal is to end the ridicule we've been so good at inspiring lately, what with our bridges to you-know-where and our desire to drill for oil in a wildlife refuge. The thinking goes like this: If we can educate the critics with pictures of a desolate ANWR and defuse the comedians with pictures of a serene and congenial Ted Stevens, then we can move on to our ultimate goal, which is building bridges to you-know-where and drilling for oil in a wildlife refuge. Or as the Governor actually said: "Alaska does not just take. We give, and we have the capacity to give much, much more -- if permitted to do so,...

Haditha slant in the press

Image
There's not much actual information out in the press about what really happened in Haditha, but most of what has come out is highly slanted against the marines. The only data point I've seen is an interview with the lance corporal who survived the initial IED explosion. Here's a summary of the interview here: (RHCP) (video here ) Again, here's a summary of the salient facts that Crossan related: 1) The Marines knew there was going to be an attack on the command outpost, which would explain the high degree of suspicion about the Iraqi's in a taxi that first refused to stop, then ran away from them. 2) There was an IED attack on his humvee, and a squad was sent in 3) Insurgents began firing on the Marines almost immediately. 4) He's not claiming to have witnessed anything. The first slant that has already been pointed out in several places (hotair), is in the times online from london, where they grabbed one quote from Corporal Crossan , “were blinded by ha...
